People feel like their children deserve things in life which requires financial stability. Poor people having kids is seen as asshole behaviour.
Just having your children learning to swim costs 1000 euro!

I can't speak for anything outside the US, but here in the states we have lakes and rivers that do just fine for teaching kids to swim.
Poor people aren't apt to care if someone thinks they are an asshole, but the middle class people we're talking about feel like they have to keep up appearances for some reason. And, so, they miss out on having children they claim they want because of it. Strange, but that's people for ya. They don't put much thought into things.
whoever thinks this is true is either in a thought bubble or have surrounded themselves with shitty people.
none of this is anywhere near true for me, but I live in flyover country. Who knows, perhaps we're lucky that the dicks fly over rather than land and stay.
Let me draw a far more likely scenario, so likely I've actually seen it.
You're at the river with lots of people with kids and teenagers of various ages. One kid disappears under the water. Every adult and teenager goes diving into the water, as in full on sprint from the bank into the water. Kid gets pulled out of the water and everyone is concerned regardless of whose kid it is.
maybe you just live around assholes.
Maybe you're just an asshole?
