People have nieces and nephews, aging family, would give to charity and on top of that spend it on themselves. Part of why millennials and gen z travel so much is that they've delayed having kids.

I'd dare say, in this next cohort of kids (born post-COVID) they might be some of the healthiest mentally out there. Older parents with savings and decent world experience, knowledge of the digital world and its pitfalls, emphasis on mental and emotional well being, knowledge of how shytty certain foods and traditions are.

That's a really positive home environment to raise a kid. As opposed to parents who'll always resent their kids because they had them too early.

I agree

The generation of kids who are raised up without worrying about poverty and have parents who are actual mentors will be the ones who take control 30 years from now.

Too many kids are raising kids, and just cause you 30 don't mean u ain't a grown ass kid in need of a parent figure to take to you out to dinner and buy your clothes.

Kids tend to grow up normal when they are raised by actual adults

100% facts. Other countries get it. If you want people to have more kids you have to put policies in place that lead to a more family friendly environment. Countries like Canada get it. especially in Quebec

- heavily subsidized day care - $250/mo
- monthly allowance from the govt to spend on whatever for the kid
- 1 year maternity leave

etc.

Other countries get it cause they value family over individualism. You might see multiple generations living in the same compound. The immigrants that come to the US still have a bunch of kids. They get by cause they have intact extended families and work together.

You don't need expensive day care if grandma or auntie can watch the kids. Having kids are only a burden and expensive when you do it without support on your own.

Agreed. Also, the "have-nots" of the coming cohort that were deprived of the environments you described are gonna be even more cooked.

No, but I know what it looks like when men are completely abandoning manhood. And its the core reason as to why society is breaking down.
Lack of men

I knew 14 year olds that had kids when I was in the 8th grade .. proof of having sex is not an accomplishment. Moving out the hood, making your own money, hobbies, having integrity and respect is more “manly” than worrying about abandoning manhood
