Hello,

I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.

I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.

It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?

Thanks

    I love my children to death and will do what I can within my means to make their life better.

    However, I do feel that my regrets are valid. I chose to have children when I was optimist about the future, but my optimism has waned.

    They didn’t ask to be born, they didn’t chose me, so having children in this day and age is a selfish want.

    I do not share your vision but I appreciate your support.
