Their birthrates have dropped pretty dramatically also. Hispanic birth rate is going up

They’ve been programmed to think this way. Simpletons think everything their overlords tell them to think.

Get your facts and data out of here dude. This board only does MUH FEELS.
LINK - Wordlwide Fertility Rates
The indisputable fact is that as countries attain first-world status and women are granted more rights and attain education, the birth rates plummet.
The OT will cope and seethe but it won't change the reality of the situation.

$1800/month per kid is fairly standard rate in DFW.

we already knew a certain faction of y'all hate when people have children in a single parent home, or if they are born out of wedlock, etc.....
now y'all are up in arms because people are deciding to be responsible and NOT have kids, if they make a choice to not have kids??
pick a fricking lane....

Yep. This board is schizo about every single topic and will be on both sides of any issue depending on the thread.
Cut your own grass? you are a filthy poor.
A different thread -- pay someone to cut your grass? you a soyboy cuck that can't do real man work.

Yea. My wife has 4 adopted siblings so she would be on board and me looking at their family dynamic from the outiside have seen the good and bad from it.
My wife has about 6 months until she graduates so we took a little break from trying. I think we'll start talking adoption and IVF more seriously here soon. Louisiana has some seriously dumb adoption laws that can screw adopting parents over so that has me slightly hesitant with that though. You could have a kid for years and if a the mother changes her mind and wants her kid back, in Louisiana, she could too easily get the kid back.

yea but it doesn't have to be this way. The Dakotas, the hispanics in Texas, and the Catholics in LA and the Mormons in Utah have a birthrates that are plenty high enough if the whole country would follow suit
Modern feminism, "Boss Babe" culture, and the way mainstream media culture looks down on families and especially stay at home moms with lots of kids contribute to the problem

There’s nothing wrong with people not wanting kids. It’s better for everyone if they don’t have them, rather than having kids they didn’t want in the first place.
Agreed. The problem is these people are usually educated and do well professionally. The people who have 10 kids are poor and dumb.
Idiocracy is upon us.
We should incentivize poor men to get vasectomies and wealthy people to have children. But noooooo, that's "wrong" to some people.

stfu. I know at least 30 families who have 10+ kids and none are poor or dumb. They might live modestly because they have so many kids but that is what they chose and i applaud them for it

I live in what the perhaps the most "liberal" area of any city in America, Fort Greene/Williamsburg in Brooklyn.
You certainly have a lot more women here that would rather have a music career that includes a lot of travel or whatever and do not want kids.
However, what you hear time and again from people is still the financial impact of having kids. So many friends of mine are like my business partner who came from a big family and loves kids but he and his wife decided that 1 kid was as much as the could handle financially.
Not sure feminism has as much to do with it as "culture war" pot stirrers want to claim.
Has much more to do with the financial necessity of both partners working coupled with the lack of decent job opportunities to "just move" that people had in the 1950s-70s when small town America actually had factories that meant good jobs were readily available outside of major cities.

Part of this is true but part of it is just excuses to have more money for lifestyles people enjoy. I know plenty of people who are pulling in 200k+ that live in low cost of living areas that only have 2 kids just because they want more expendable income to go to Europe in the summer or the wife doesn't want have to lose her baby weight again

Maybe but if they had kids they probably wouldn’t be doing as well
