A NYT article published data showing ore than half of 30 year old American women are childless.
On it’s own that isn’t good or bad…but the anti-natalist, anti-kid, “omg you need to make $400k to afford childcare” rhetoric surrounding parenting is absurd.
Having kids is amazing.
Our sons are the best part of our life.
Waiting is Overrated
You get less time with your kids and especially your grandkids when family formation is delayed.
If you wait until you’re 40 and your kids wait until they’re 40…grandma and grandpa may exist only in photographs and stories.
40 + 40 = 80
80 is more than the average life expectancy.
Live Near Family
The only people you know your whole life are your siblings.
My sisters and I share memories no-one else on earth shares.
Eventually only the three of us will remember Joslyn being stung by a bee on the way to the lake, Christmas mornings when we were kids, saying goodbye when I left for West Point in 1995, eating dinner at my grandparent’s house, etc.
Kids Aren’t For Everyone
It’s ok to not have kids.
Parenting isn’t for everyone.
The world needs good aunts and uncles, too.
