Being poor has very little to with having children. The poor across the world have more children than the wealthy.
That doesn't change the motivations of millions of people in the world. You know, the kind of numbers that can produce a massive dip in data...

That assumes no immigration
As long as the US keeps voting for fascist morons, that assumption is correct and safe.

Same for kids and pets... They're not really strong, it's just that:
-
You're trying not to hurt them or yourself, they don't really care. This really levels the playing field.
-
You're trying to accomplish a goal, they're trying to do anything but that.this gives them a huge advantage.
Don't forget leverage. Shorter limbs get more "strength" from their muscles.

My 4yo always threatens "I won't invite you to my birthday party!" I always respond with "Yes, thank you, please don't." Which is confusing, because apparently it is the go-to threat in daycare to force ohther children to do something
. Then I am immediately invited again.I have been told I have to go to my room and stay there. I'm like, you promise? Didn't take long for that threat to stop.

When I was a kid we used to just get thrown outside along with all the other kids and told not to come back until lunch time.
We used to get up to all sorts no one cared. At one point someone's dad took us all to the beach which was about an hour away, we all just got in this strangers car (never met him before) and went to the beach. I don't remember my parents been even remotely bothered by that when they found out.
There definitely was a "they are replaceable" attitude back then. Now try to imagine the generations before us, when 13 kids wasn't that abnormal. And that 13 only counted the ones that survived.

One of my worst fears as a single dad, though it's fairly uncommon here to randomly report people for kidnapping just because it's a dad with his own child. And my offspring adores me and will stop crying almost immediately when picked up so that might help people understand I'm not a baby thief lol

The problem with parenting advice is every kid is different. This becomes clear after raised a gaggle of them. Anyone with one child that is giving advice is clueless.
My suggestion is not to give that type of child options. Tell them what's happening. Then do it. May that not work any better and ignores why you may have started giving them choices.
You didn't specify an age but typically choices are best for later development. Toddlers are terrorists and one should never negotiate with a terrorist.
To respond to your firat paragraph: This episode of Bluey helped me understand as a first time parent. Though this is less about personality and more about development. The mom with 9 or whatever kids really puts things into perspective.
It's funny because my own kid is literally Bluey. Super quick to do everything else, refuses to walk.
Your second and third paragraph: thank you for the advice, I'm anticipating that mine will become a terrorist. Already has learned to cry when told no, despite the fact that we've never caved in to it.

My first kid was a perfect baby, she’d sleep 10 hours straight, she was quiet and never bratty, we would take her to restaurants with all our adult friends and she was always well behaved and didn’t need a tablet and would interact with everyone. We used to silently judge leash kid’s parents with the wife.
Then we had our second, an autistic boy with the energy of a thousand suns. Now I know, the leash isnt for me, it’s for all of you! The tablet at the restaurant makes sense now, and I don’t judge parents anymore
I get people giving me judgemental looks with the tablet at the dinner table when out in the wild. Im always tempted to take it off her when people look at me funny, they can see what happens.
Low volume blippi is annoying as shit, I get it, but also so is me running past your table every 30 seconds carrying her back, or the full-blown mortal screaming if I strap her to the chair.

There is a reason for declining child birth numbers... it has everything to do with more people knowing what they are really getting into.
I don't need more reasons to not want children, I'm already decided, but this thread is sure reaffirming.
