Things have always been bad.

Yes

However without experiencing the previous version of bad there isn't a frame of reference, so whatever bad experience is now is the bad experience

My point is that bad things shouldn't prevent someone from having kids. Nobody would be alive today if other people didn't have kids because bad things happen.

There was a time your dumb deseased mother pushed you out on a savana, maybe died in the process, and nobody on the earth gave a shit about you, and everything wanted to eat you from the ants, mosquitos, and flies, the larger predators. Everything was hostile and if you could manage not to die you still had to find a way to eat, drink, and shelter yourself from weather.

Millions of years of that, was just the beginning of how bad things could be.

Now we sit here, almost permanently sheltered, on the internet, where most peoples biggest problem is like, heart disease or rectal cancer.
