Could it be the 3 and 4 kid families are all being paid for by welfare and big wasteful govt ?
More kids more gravy train $$$.
so much knowledge has been lost.
Big families are actually more cost-effective. Once you have all the basics like cribs and such, you can simply reuse them from child to child. You keep good clothes and hand them down to the next youngest. Plus as they age you have built in baby sitters for the younger ones by the older ones, so you don’t need daycare.
So much is positive about large families.
and I really do believe there are WAY WAYWAY more mexicans living here than the census is telling us
I am jealous of Mexicans, they dont need no steenking AAA card, if a family members car breaks down there is a huge crowd of family mechanics to show up to the rescue and not just a tow truck
Went to a very large family reunion recently. Boomers had zero, one or two children, or a few with three children. The next couple generation after boomers had a large percentage of couples with four children. Very surprising to me.
What the hell. Everyday I read stories about Americans not wanting kids and families and most don’t even want to get married when you can always find a broad to “hook up” with while you’re waiting for you cell phone to recharge.
While the Christian sect “Quiverfull” isn’t entirely in sync with other conservative Christian sects, its idea of having the maximum number of children is a winner.
However, like other sects, the emphasis on Christian values almost requires that they be in well structured communities separate from the secular public that not only do not share their values, but have the tendency to chase anti-Christian fads as a mob.
Thus such communities need home schooling, or at least private religious schooling, as well as Doctors, Nurses, and merchants who share their values. Lawyers as well, to act as shields against those who hate and want to destroy them.
None of this is unreachable, but does take some work.
“However, by 1973, the strong preference for families of one or two children became the norm”
That’s because Paul Ehrlich and the Overpopulation hysteria took over the entire country with even Nixon making a big deal out of it and the Rockefeller Commission concluding that “we have no use of further population increase”.
Having 5 kids became an Enviro-crime in the 70s.
They even enshrined this madness in a little decision called Roe v. Wade.
The whole “promise” of post-modernist socialism and progressivism as that we are all autonomous individuals, free to “pursue our bliss,” whose family and support network would be the State.
It was of course, a huge and destructive lie.
As America’s economy collapses in debt, money-printing and crony-corruption, the ONLY support network will be, once again, be the family.
Some people are starting to understand that.
I’m happy to hear this — just that more people want any children. Our people are so into careers and incomes that I have wondered if many viewed children as a burden with no payback.
Mainly it’s my perception of what today’s women are thinking.
“Forty-five percent now favor larger families, with 29% finding three children as ideal, 12% who prefer four, and 2% each who prefer five, six, or more. “
None of them are white.
How can this be so? Kamala said folks are deciding not to have children because climate change.
ConservaTeen and his financee wants at least 44 kids. 2 of each..
And keep in touch. I know it can be a burden sometimes but do it anyway. Family is the cornerstone of everything.
