The cliché quote is "it takes a village to raise a child" and I agree. In Western nuclear family culture, that "village" has largely been forgotten.

Most people who are "childfree", or even anti-natalist, don't hate children. In a more cooperative society, many would definitely slot into that mentor/cool adult role; myself included.
