There are different reason for having kids than being rodent like. Both my wife and I are isolated from our extended families, I never met any of my cousins, ect.ect. We are “old” parents and didn’t want to leave our kids without family. Yes we have friends ALMOST as close as family…but they are not family. We have 3 great boys. I would not have minded one more. Each of their bedrooms is 3000 sf.
I hear what you all are saying on the austerity side of the argument. I also think that most of us are going to live somewhere in line with the standard parameters for our geographical situations. IMO there are some good, or at least acceptable reasons for that as well as the negatives.
A depression concerns me but I don’t fight it with entitlement theories. That does seem selfish.
