Non-parents have no clue. Example: a young friend said Let's go to the fair! OK, it'll take some assistance to watch the stroller while changing the baby, some time in the shade to feed her. Get the baby there, in the stroller. Five minutes later, the friend sees other friends, not encumbered, and See you! and she's off. Leaving me to pack up the baby and go back home.

I do not have children, but i find this mentality to be pretty insane. do you believe climate change is going to make the world uninhabitable or something?

How is it insane, and what does it have to do with climate change?
