I am the middle of 5 kids, and the father of 5. All over 20. No grandchildren yet, and none on the way. The kids just don’t seem interested
My parents are expressing similar sentiments as I’m the oldest of 6. It’s hard on our father who is mentally stuck in an era 40 years ago where housing, food and gasoline were not just “cheaper” but actually in line with what a single entry level job could provide for.
Hell the Obamaconomy plus a couple shady employers cost me 6 years just to get to the point where even thinking about a family was financially viable.
