I feel it's not about choosing between parenthood and career, but rather the societal circumstances that force people to make choices. If most jobs in society can provide a comfortable life, yet many struggle to even take care of themselves, let alone pets, then everyone is making decisions with great caution. After all, it's a life we're talking about, one that's biologically connected to ourselves.

Furthermore, I believe both career and family choices are part of the human process of self-realization. It's just that some people prioritize their social value, such as wanting fame or respect from others, as their way of self-fulfillment. For them, achieving these goals means self-realization. On the other hand, for those seeking a stable life, that's what's important to them. So, I think these choices are closely related to each person's values ​​and perspectives. Nowadays, people are generally pessimistic and lack the ability to hold onto too many expectations for the future. In such times, if you were to tell someone to have a child now, even if it means a bit of struggle now for a better future, they'd likely say, "I don't care about the future; if I'm struggling now, I might not even make it through."

I believe that even without children, one cannot live a solitary life, and even if you have children, they will eventually leave you. So, currently, I'm someone who takes things step by step. I don't think just because you're eager to have a child means you can have one. So, for now, I'm maintaining a "go with the flow" attitude.
