Not at all, just had a baby.

If it can be of any comfort to you: it gets much better.

Not soon enough though.

And also it gets much worse in other aspects.

You’re doing the lords work there. Keep it up! The rest of the world thanks you

Edit: Maybe I should have said CONGRATULATIONS!!! Sleep will come eventually.

Not really, the world isn’t having enough babies in the western nations, we will see a decline in a lot of countries in our lifetime

Would you walk up to someone pushing a stroller and say that to their face? Because you'd look insane

I always smile at people caring for children. They need encouragement, just as we all do. It is a largely thankless job, after all. The only thanks society gives you is MAYBE a 6 week maternity leave if that. At least women aren't fired for being pregnant anymore, like they were when I was young. And besides, this is reddit, where everyone is a stranger.

All of that is totally fine to tell new parents, I agree with you but

"You’re doing the lords work there. Keep it up! The rest of the world thanks you" is about 35 miles outside normal things to say but it was funny nonetheless

we will see a decline in a lot of countries in our lifetime

The decline would happen even if people were popping out babies left and right, because there are much bigger issues in western nations (if we're talking places like the US) than lower birth rates.

Want higher birth rates? Work on fixing the current issues in those countries that is causing the decline in birth rates. Increase the quality of living, give workers better rights, provide health care, make it safe for children to go to school, properly fund public education, secure the medical rights of people, get rid of the Nazis, make people feel safe being open about who they are, etc.

Trying to shame those people by making comments about hos they're going against "the lord" isn't doing anything but making you look like a weirdo.
