It should not be up to the individual parents to determine the cutoff point for # of kids / level of financial comfort.

Where did I say that, genius? I didn't.

If your material comforts are more important to you than raising a family, then don't be surprised when your culture is taken over by others. That's just the plain fact of the matter.

Personally, I have found that I enjoy being around people who value children more than people who value "stuff".

I guess you cared for my sarcasm about as much as I cared for your calculus.

LOL, you are right. Your term was cop out.

You only suggest that those who make different decisions than you as to the creature comfort/# of kids ratio are leading to the demise of our culture.

Your false dichotomy is pretty glaring, don’t you think? That one can value either children or value ‘stuff’, but have no ability to recognize relative importance?

I have 3 kids AND ‘stuff’. Guess which I’m gonna make sure is out of the house first in the event of a fire?
