i thnk if people don’t want to get married, they probably should not get married.
i think if they want to take care of pets, fine. lots of abandoned, perfectly fine animals could’use someone to take care of them.
i think if they want to get married and not have kids, fine. or kids, fine. or kids and pets, fine. or’pets first, then kids, fine.
there’s plenty of combinations that are perfectly fine. if people believe they arent’ ready for something, they probably are not. rather have everyone do well at things they feel they can commit to, rather than doing stuff they are unsure about and doing a terrible job, impacting others because of it.
That’s all fina and well, but what happens when a majority of people would rather raise pets instead of children?
