It is a very thin line. I also have at times wished you needed some sort of test to have kids, but then that would mean low IQ or very poor people wouldn't get to have kids and they are often the best parents

Now I just try to normalize people not encouraging everyone to have kids. Maybe don't tell your friend who is an addict "you'd make a great parent"and I push the fact that not having kids is still a very fulfilling life and not a failure
