I didn't ask for your sympathy. I'm merely responding to someone who doesn't understand that others have factors that affect how hard it is to change jobs.

On a side note, I'm getting whiplash by how fast we go from

    It's your fault for having children [overpop, resource exhaustion]
    to
    It's your fault for not having children [low-birthrates]
    back to
    It's your fault for having children [whatever this is]

FWIW: https://www.usaforunfpa.org/are-we-overpopulated-are-birth-r...

I think a lot of the "low-birthrate" fearmongering is just a way to distract people.

Overpopulation was projected to be an issue, but we actually addressed it pretty well over the last 50-75 years and global average birth rates are in a pretty good place now.
