Is it ok to not feel sorry for childless people?

I'm sorry for people who, despite wanting to have children, cannot have any due to health issues, age, lack of partner, etc. I really wish them the best and that they find a way to have a baby soon.<br><br>However, I don't understand why someone would not want to have children, yet still try to become a parent; they are not prepared to take on this responsibility, they do not want to be parents, they have no desire to have children, they are not in their right mind to want to be parents, yet they get pregnant or plan to become parents. <br><br>I feel no pity for people like this at all. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure that they are prepared for the responsibilities of parenthood before bringing a life into this world. If you are not prepared, then you should not be bringing a life into the world. A person who is unable to afford a child should not have one.<br><br>I've read the comments and it looks like I've stirred up a lot of emotions in this post. I've been on this site for 6 months now and this is my first time posting anything here. I just wanted to get my ideas across and I'm not sure if I went about it the right way.<br><br>From what I can tell, a great majority of people are taking my post as an attack on people who cannot have children and regret that they cannot have any; I'm not, I'm just talking about people who do have children and are then overwhelmed. I did not mean that someone who cannot have children should not look into ways to have a child and I think that my post gave people the wrong idea, I want everyone to be able to be good parents to their children.<br><br>This is a pretty good summary of what I'm trying to say:<br><br>"You're framing this as people who, despite wanting to have kids, can't. You're right we shouldn't feel sorry for them. <br><br>It's people who would love to have kids but cannot because they can't afford them. Because they feel they're not mentally or physically equipped to be good parents. Because they think it's not fair to bring a child into a world that is falling apart. Because they feel success should come before kids.<br><br>This is what people mean when they say it's sad that people can't have kids. It's sad that people who want to have kids cannot do so because they want to make sure that they're good parents and can provide for kids. <br><br>Your post literally makes me feel worse about not being able to have kids though. See, people like me who are infertile and cannot have kids.... well it's not like we made a choice to not have kids. We would love to have kids. It's just not possible. So yeah it does suck."<br><br>I feel sorry for people who want to have kids but, for whatever reason, cannot do so and I want everyone to be able to be a good parent to their children.<br><br>I'm sorry if I upset anyone with my post; I did not mean to cause any harm.
