My parents kind of had children for selfish reasons and objectively speaking neither of them should have had children.

Now as an adult I have issues that seem to stem from childhood emotional neglect that I struggle with. My sibling isn't that much better emotionally adjusted either.

I wasn't a particularly happy child but neither of them noticed or paid much attention even when they could have.

I think that's an entirely valid experience, I don't think anyone is arguing having kids of a universal good, but it also can't be seen as a universal bad. Ideally, as close to 100% of people possible are in a position to make a good choice for themselves.

If you or your sibling regret being born I’m sorry for you.
