Young women just arent that crazy about babies any more, shunning the diaper changes and midnight feedings for dubbed-in family members that dont demand as much care: dogs.
And not just any type dog specifically, those that weigh less than 25 pounds.
Id rather have a dog over a kid, said Sara Foster, 30, the proud owner of a French bulldog named Maddie, the New York Post reported. Its just less work and, honestly, I have more time to go out. You dont have to get a baby sitter.
Her view is being repeated across the nation by women in the 15-to-29-years-old group, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. New statistics show that big drops in the numbers of babies born to women in this age group coincide with big increases in the numbers of dogs owned by females around the same age range, the business site Quartz reported.

55 million shunned babies. You said it well.
They don’t really have much of a choice with the anti-family and anti-competition laws passed over recent decades, the flood of propaganda that preceded them and the spoiled parents who reared them. Traditional marriage is nearly outlawed in effect and has been culturally despised for many years.
The answers may lie in permaculture (study and practice of physical and economic self-sufficiency) and nonpolitical politics (doing what is right and natural without respect to political, business, academic and self-assigned social bosses). The pathological political regulator class has sent our nation into demoralization and economic decline.
Have fun. Enjoy the pet parasites and decline.
You get a sense of accomplishement with a dog, knowing that you might have had kids that grew up to be indecent, irresponsible adults.
Pathetic women? Children are not for everybody.
What is pathetic is that you are so myopic.
Old folks with kids can find themselves lonely too; don’t fool yourself.
Dogs? I’d rather have my cat than either a child or a dog. Dogs you have to walk and pay attention to. Ain’t got no time for that!
If youre under 21, by all means have a lap dog, not a baby! If youre over 21 and unmarried, by all means have a lap dog, not a baby! If youre over 21, married, and find yourself unable to financially and/or emotionally provide for a baby, by all means have a lap dog, and not a baby! I dont see a problem with these decisions.I'm not seeing a problem either. People who don't want children? Shouldn't have 'em. The kids will grow up screwed in the head by the resentment. And frankly, a lot of people just plain shouldn't have kids.
