After dating as a young man I learned I do not want a wife or to have kids. The only people who seem bothered by it are busy bodies. I don’t regret either decision.
All of us have made decisions about how to live our lives.
Many people make decisions , which do not put marriage and family , and having children, as a priority.
How many people have put off the idea of marriage and family, because they were finishing school , going to graduate school , serving in the military , or for some other reason just could not see themselves in any family situation?
How many people, even if they are married at a young age, are using birth control? Even if such couples eventually do have children ,they will likely have fewer children in their lifetime than if they have not used birth control.
How many people want to live a life without encumberences?
How many people look at issues such as the cost of living and cost of housing, and decide to have fewer children than they might otherwise?
How many people like their freedom so much, that they don’t even want to get married, much less think about having children.?
after having one they think having two is twice as hard and another three times as hard etc.
When people have simply forgotten that it actually gets easier with each additional child. Having older ones help with younger ones is like having a free baby sitter. All the large purchases have already been made, you simply have to set things aside for the next one in line.
It’s really easy to have a big family until college, where you had better have a plan.
Glorification of selfishness.
Unquestioning obeisance to the notion that humans are bad for Mother Gaia.
Meanwhile, during covid, over 20 million more dogs were added to US households. Dog worship has become epidemic all over the western world.
We are literally replacing human babies with dogs.
* PS many here on FR are dog nutters and are fine with this because “dogs are better than people” or something
The Orthodox Christian wedding service includes prayers for many, many children!
It’s hard to live up to for many of us, but there it is!!
The choice is between having America become an Orthodox Christian country full of native born citizens, or being invaded by millions of Third World immigrants! Yikes!!
The sadist thing about having no children is what one has to face in old age. The number of children you have ladies determines how well you are taken care of in your old age. I know what I’m saying. Pay attention.
They should get at least a four year degree and get established in their career before even thinking about marriage. And then they should wait a few more years before having kids. This leads to them being in their early thirties before the first baby and that is if everything goes exactly right.
When you start having kids in your thirties and spacing them out you will have three children at most. Probably you will only have one or two.
We need to tell young people to marry and have families when they are young and full of energy. So you do not have a bunch of stuff, not important. You can get the stuff later.
Childcare Costs Rising Even Faster than Sky-High Inflation, Report Reveals
Deep States, plural, are deliberately destroying the nuclear family.
People are allowing them to do it.
Marriage favors the woman. A woman can marry a man, then divorce him in few years and take 1/2 of what he has. Its worse when children are in the equation.
No fault divorces have done their wicked work.
