I would have loved to start a family already. However, I always had the notion that I should be financially comfortable before bringing another life into this world. After graduating college, I haven’t found anything resembling a career. I’m only 26, I suppose I have time.. But all I’m hearing is “tick, tick, tick”!
Yep. All those women who have chosen education and success over child rearing are just making sure that more of the next generation come from less educated and less successful families.
I don’t really get the point of it either. Making enough money to support yourself as a single person is not that hard. Why kill yourself trying to get ahead if you don’t have a family you need to support? Just to save up to buy a big empty house?
That makes no sense at all. Education raises your status. Work experience raises your status. A well educated couple having children later in life raises higher status children.
This article is propaganda. Like it or not, nowadays in the western world, having children young is considered lower class, while having children older is higher class.
And yes, educated, worldly people know that you can help nature along with proper diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Normal women approaching or at 40 can have children, and society is better off for it.
Good point.
And that's how it is.
Right now, most third world people have the highest status, because they outbreed the industrialized world.
Which is precisely why they are the third world. Oh yes, please, let's breed ourselves into that way of life. Can't wait.
And that is how it is for families that have sentenced themselves to blue collar, working class existences with little hope of getting out or moving up. Where does higher education for either parent fit into your prole fantasy?
The best gift that my wife and I gave to my oldest children by having when we were younger was the many more years they got to have with their grandparents.
The thief?
Contraception
I think you are mistaken.
just have unprotected sex with your spouse but both say you dont’ want a baby. you’ll have one in no time.
not everyone should have kids. raising them right needs to be done well. not everyone ought to have them. half-assing it is the reson why we’re dealing with a lot of social problems now.
I’ve also noticed that older women give birth to children who later become autistic.
You’ve been on FR since you were 14?
.
Sounds like the opening scene of Idiocracy.
True. So what do we do? Personally, I encourage any young people I tactfully can, to get married early and have lots of kids.
In America, Asian and East Indian cultures value higher education and professional careers. I have noticed they often live in multi-generational households. They have kids before it’s too late, keep growing their careers, and the children are cared for by older relatives.
I remember caring what other people thought about stuff like that until I was about 23. Then I figured things out for myself.
Yes. Mom raised me well.. She’s been on since ‘98.
