Look how the back and my day crowd did with their kids. The 40's-60's were rife with failed parenting. Millennials need to break the cycle. It will take decades more to recover from the Boomer generation. Way to squander what the greatest generation gave.

"Yet America’s birth rate was falling long before the pandemic arrived. In fact, 2020 was the sixth straight year of fewer new babies in the U.S. Americans’ reasons for putting off children — or not having them at all — are complicated. But there’s growing recognition of the role that money plays. Nearly 3 in 5 millennials without children say they don’t have any because kids are just too expensive.
As child care has become increasingly pricey and the post-pandemic economic recovery has been unevenly distributed, is it possible that having kids is becoming a privilege that’s financially out of reach for many?"

I think it’s a good thing I haven’t met to many with enough intelligence to raise a child
