    The problem with getting married young is that its definitely the best and the happiest and more fulfilling option IF you come from a happy and functional household and family. But a huge percentage of people don't come from that, they come from divorced parents , single parent households or from a lot of issues. In those situations if you marry before 25, your brain is not even fully formed, and unfortunately you have all the chances to just exactly repeat the same as your parents. Which is ok in the case of coming from a happy family, but terrible if you come from a broken family with big issues. Waiting a bit more is better in those cases, as the person has the chance to find God or find different values than their parents, or heal from what happened to them. and then be able to change the cycle with their kids. Otherwise its truly hardbreaking to bring kids into the world and realize you are giving them the same pain you had. Having time to heal your wounds before having kids can be very important in some cases. People believe the reason to delay having a family is party or career, but this is a very simplistic point of view. There are many other valid reason to wait, that have to do with being able to provide a truly happy family. Having a strong set of values and being in a good place spiritually I think its very important in order to create a happy family. For some people that simply cant happen in their 20s.

      Yes that's so true! I think as society has degraded as a whole this point becomes more and more valid. I do think people are capable of repentance and not repeating the same issues but it is very prevalent. Unfortunately more and more kids from functional families are not necessarily choosing young marriage and kids and that also contributes in a way to extended childhood.

I was fully single till I was 27, as I was terrified of romantic relationships because I had some childhood issues and abuse I witnessed. So I lived in a religious comunity I though about being a nun. I could heal and thank God i met my husband who had a looot of patience with me and my fears, but if I would have been younger I would literally not have been able to even talk to him due to some issues I carried.

    My goodness, you are making very broad (and false) generalizations of what feminism is about. Sure, women had jobs, but not necessarily the jobs they desire. Feminists fight for women to have choices in their lives. To choose choose their career paths. To have a choice to marry who they love regardless of gender. Feminists also fight for women to have a voice, to have reproduction rights, property rights, and to choose to divorce their abusive husbands. If it wasn't for feminism, you wouldn't have the voice or choices you have now. If you examine how men in the redPiII community talk about women, you'll understand that feminism is more important now than ever.

    "you just want control" "you think no one's capable of taking care of baby" "anyone can warm up some breast milk or put baby down for a nap" Nope, none of the above are my reasons.... I would literally trust my 14 yo sister to care for baby. Momma's can write up a list for anyone to leave care with. It's not because I think anyone's going to try to hurt baby or that I think he'll cry the whole time I'm gone. (I don't mind him crying a little bit when others hold him anyway I just wait and see if he'll calm after his position is switched which usually he does). And yes, anyone can warm up some bm in a bowl of warm water and bounce baby to sleep. BUT... I only get 52 weeks with my baby (and then he's a toddler then a kid). I (for the most part) enjoy being responsive to my baby's cries and needs. You get such a short time with baby that I want to be there most of the time with my baby. I've waited years for this little one. I'm focused on building a strong breastfeeding relationship with baby that'll last a minimum till he's a year old, hopefully longer. Along with that ... Sometimes my milk "drops" for the pump sometimes not. Sometimes baby takes a bottle sometimes not. If I'm trying to build back up my supply (because I missed a feeding the day before or something) the baby isn't always content to wait for the drop and just gets upset. Sooo if I leave for a feeding sometimes it takes a couple of days to try to get back to where we were. If a momma doesn't "let" people babysit baby till they're older or perhaps only for an hour or two don't internalize it and make it personal. It may not be that she doesn't trust you. Maybe she just likes being with her baby (I've known momma's on their seventh kid still not leaving their littlest babies for very long not just first time momma's) or maybe she's just fostering an intentional bf relationship. Or maybe it's just something else.... It may not be about trust or capability 😊

    Great thoughts! I’d also add, at the heart of it, it boils down to it being God’s design for men and women to get married and bear children. The man is the provider and the woman is the keeper of the home. I understand things are going up in this economy but with the increasing availability of home-based work with the advent of the internet, it IS possible for women to stay home. Living off of one income also means cutting down on non-necessities and being creative such as cooking more from scratch, homemade cleaning products, etc.

    Depends on the daycare. Some daycares are fabulous. The good ones are well staffed and provide an innovative, challenging and stimulating environment for the kids through a range of activities that even most homes do not provide. They learn a plethora of social skills as well as introduction to academic skills. A woman with 5,6 or more kids can actually be more stressed because she has to be all things to them all the time. She is also trying to do the laundry, cook, run errands, etc. The day care has to ONLY focus on the kids 99% of the time. Mom gets no assistance from another person to give breaks or offer a different perspective. What I am emphasizing is that even without the interaction with variable age groups, the kid will be OK and whatever skills they learn among their age peers are transferrable to the larger society with ease.

    • @ellianna.keller
      @ellianna.keller 4 місяці тому

      I actually worked at a very good daycare. But many of the kids just don't have that one on one experience of teaching how to socialize in a daycare setting. Part of learning how to properly socialize is having someone guide your conversation (please thank you, mutual respect, etc.) I would also say the chores around the house that need done are important in helping children learn how to contribute to society and should be allocated out to children to benefit the whole family

      @@ellianna.keller Actually children pick up a lot of what they learn through just living around other people and by observation REGARDLESS of who they are with or where they are. In fact, other kids are great teachers and incentivizes to their peers. There is no need for momma to be the sole focus for all their learning, emotional security, and problem solving. Without being around me all day, my daughter was much easier to train at home because she saw other kids putting their things away in certain places, doing certain activities at certain times and places, sharing skills in organizing, learning about the need to cooperate, share, negotiate, sacrifice, etc. She learned that she was not the center of the universe. She learned to learn independently. She became calmer about me leaving the house because she now understood that people leaving the house didn't mean she was being deserted, because she now had a lived point of reference for what going to work or going to school, or shopping meant. She knew that "out" had a finite, definitive, tangible existence. It was no longer a mysterious void. We need to end the moral flagellation of telling moms that their children will perish without being with mom 25/8. A little stress from time to time helps grow new neurons in the brain. All this is to say, children can be strong, healthy, well balanced and productive humans without being limited to a single source of input. There needs to be some balance in telling (actually guilt-tripping) mothers that their children are being short-changed because they are not there for them 25/8. The kid will be OK.

    • @ellianna.keller

      Because they do pick up on a lot of things that's actually why daycare children in general struggle more. NOT ALWAYS, but in most cases children who are primarily taught or picking up behaviors from other children are not going to be as well set up for successful behavior. I'm not saying there aren't situations for daycare being needed but that it isn't an ideal *socialization* habitat. Young children need to learn proper socialization from people who know how to kindly socialize and interact with others. That's not to say kids have to be around mom all the time but that's why (if you have a good one) extended family can be so beneficial to little ones. Mom doesn't have to be the sole focus but family should be the primary focus for learning skills. I totally agree kids should not be the center of the universe, which is why bringing kids into various environments is helpful. But having mom or another family member around to help guide those social encounters (for very young children) is so beneficial! Also there's this thought that very young babies need socialization, Erica Komisar speaks to this a bit, but babies aren't at that stage where they need other babies to socialize with. They do need a primary and consistent caregiver though as much as possible. Obviously if this isn't possible that's a whole other conversation, but I'm speaking in the ideals. I'll try to find some of those articles I've learned from that speak to this as well.

    Unless school was very different in your area, what you say about never interacting with people who aren't the exact same age is completely untrue. In high school I played on a few sports teams, joined a few clubs, and was on student government, so I was regularly interacting and befriending students who were older/younger than I was. In elementary school we had a "buddies" system so that the older kids could mentor/read to/etc. kids that were 4ish years younger than they were about once a week. Yes, we were in classes with students with the same birth year, but I think it's very unusual to not interact with people outside of your age group in a public/private school setting.

      I mean yes true but in the grand scheme of things four years is nothing. I would consider anyone within five to seven years of me my age. Im talking about being socialized with people of different generations than yourself. In ancestral times whole communities would be socializing. Older people teaching the younger and so on. Most people I know who've had a broader spectrum of people to socialize with of all different ages tend to mature faster and start contributing to society earlier. It's definitely something that should be further studied

That's why I clarified - you and your husband could have interacted a lot if you were interested in the same clubs or played on the same sports team. But re: other generations, who do you think is coaching the kids ar sports, or facilitating student council, or running clubs? I had to coordinate schedules, plan events, and otherwise communicate effectively with adults who were 15-45 years older than I was all the time.

      @ellianna.keller 4 місяці тому

      I'm not saying it's impossible. I personally know people who did interact with people of all different ages but I think as a general rule it's not as common as it should be. If we had gone to the same elementary school we wouldn't have interacted (likely the same tho less so with middle school). In high school there maybe a broader sense of socializing with various ages like you said, however even then you're in a club for a hour a day or so and maybe on weekends? That's not necessarily the majority of your social experience. (Maybe they are more often idk). I think from your perspective you perhaps were set up better for success interacting with various ages (not everyone that goes to school has that same experience as you). My guess would be that a lot of the immaturity of teens would be avoided (though not completely) if from a very young age children were around people of all ages and their primary social experience was with a variety of people.

      True about other people's experiences. I also agree that daycare ar a really young age isn't ideal, although I'm a big fan of public/private schooling. I'm curious about what kind of socialization you get through homeschooling. I am biased because I knew a few young adults who were homeschooled K-12 and the majority of their socialization was with family and a few close family friends, which left them really ill-equipped to handle communicating with other people, and they struggled massively in early adulthood.

    A lot of good points. Though people find history boring, it explains many things a present generation would not understand. 1900, average life span 46, average education 2nd to 8th grade. Most children age 7 and up worked to earn money to help the family. Marry young, reproduce, die young. 1935, avg lifespan 58, majority of public schools closed due to Great Depression. Many married later and had children later. Child labor laws in effect. Social Security introduced. 1946, schools had reopened to allowed women to do men’s job for the War effort. GI return home and the Baby Boom begins, 4+ children common. Schools K-12. Many quit school after 8th grade to work. Many women never marry fewer men or PTSD issues, some men don’t marry PTSD. 1962, lifespan 66yrs, the birth control pill introduced, family size shrinks to 2-3 children, divorce rate 9%. Couples still encouraged to marry young and start that family. Pregnant women were required to quit working. Low income married women work, turn over paycheck to husbands. In some states, women not allowed a bank account or credit card without husbands signed permission, this changes in 1971. Most states still allow a husband to beat his wife by law or custom. By 1980 lifespan is 74 yrs. Laws & attitudes start to change toward beating women. Women strongly entering or staying in the workforce 1975 on due to 1970s inflation and change in laws. Divorce made easier, by 1980 its 22.6%. In 1980, women still attended college to get a MRS (find a husband) degree but that is changing. By 2000 the divorce rate is 54.5%, lifespan 77yrs, family size shrinking 2.5. In 2024 it’s 1.8 children, that’s not even the replacement rate. One of the biggest changes came in the mid 1970’s. America went from a saving society to a debt based society. 1970’s credit cards were hard to get and used for airlines, restaurants, gasoline and car rentals, basically businessmen. Early 1980’s credit expands and credit cards are allowed for clothing, furniture, household goods. By 2000’s credit cards could also be used to buy food, liquor (store), just about anything. As society has changed, financial literacy has not. Life planning is a vision board with a mansion, sports car, luxury vacations etc. It’s the big goal not the journey. 18 yr olds have been encouraged to take on $100s of thousands of debt for college, study abroad, not working. Instead of getting a used car to start out, it’s a brand new $50k-$100k car. Instead of a roommate in an apartment, it’s buy a home they aren’t ready for. It’s a fast society, too fast.

    Have you heard of Simone And Malcolm Collins? They're pro-natalists who live a quasi-amish style life. They're strong defenders of people having kids but they're in favor of incorporating fertility-related technology into child bearing. They're probably most known for having gone thorugh IVF and embryo selection for the sake of bearing kids with higher intelligence and less genetic disorders. A lot of people would probably consider it controversial but that's their view on it.

    Her observation of daycare is very accurate I can almost picture perfectly the type of daycares she has worked at . I’ve been in early childhood off on since 1995 and one big issue with daycare is the pay which creates the high turnover rate when I was 18 - 23 with no kids in daycare I made pretty good money but the moment you become a mother especially of multiple kids and if your ‘re not married, daycare is not the the career field to stay in, if you choose to stay in the field with your own young kids your best option is open up a home daycare.

    I'd be interested to see if you have any survey data or statistics to back up some of the claims earlier about extended childhood or people living at home to avoid responsibility. I have seen survey data showing people in their early to mid 20s are more likely to live with their parents than a spouse, but I don't think we can make assumptions about the reasoning behind it. (Unless of course, you've seen some data that I haven't - I'd be really interested.) Just from my own peer group, I know a few people who lived with their parents into their mid 20s, but that was so that they could save up enough money to buy their own property.

Yes, people are objectively getting married older, but you were attributing a reason for it that I don't think is backed up by any real data. To other points in the video - I totally agree that when people are ready for marriage varies a lot from person to person, and people often say "oh, they're too young to get married" about a 24 year old or "why aren't they married, what's wrong with them" about a 34 year old. If you're in a stable, relationship where you're aligned on values and life goals and in a place financially to support yourselves, I think it's a little silly to wait until you're x years old just because you feel some sort of external pressure to not get married "too young".

    I disagree. All childfree people aren't immature freeloaders and every parent do not plan nor have the ability to take care of children (and I'd also say that to the majority of CF people, money is hardly ever the main reason for them to be CF). A child is only one kind of responsibility you can have on your life. You can have a responsible job (you're not irreplaceable as a parent, either, as many parents seem to think, even by the expense of the well-being of their children). You can do charity work. You can step in to help your relatives or friends. And sometimes it's indeed a sign of maturity to not have children when you realize the reality isn't there to secure their life. It's pretty disrespectful to say all these people are less responsible simply because they don't have children. Also, sometimes parenthood brings the worst out of people as well. Entitlement, will to control, isolation etc. Many parents also have children to "relive" their lives, pushing their dreams on them, or have children to postpone the management of their traumas or other mental issues. Good for those who end up a good happy family. But it's not as black and white as you make it to seem. Also, we do need to drop the number of people on the planet ASAP, that's simply a fact supported by many fields. Longer we wait and greater we grow before we encourage anyone (even just the people who are willing) to be CF, greater the catastrophe will be globally in the future. I see CF population as the natural way to decrease the population, and if anything, we should support this population, not put them down or try to manipulate them to have children.

    • @ellianna.keller
      @ellianna.keller 6 місяців тому

      Did I ever say all? I said that CF should be the exception not the majority. Also if you had all the people in the earth and each person was given 500 sq feet of space the whole earth would fill up the state of Montana. (Note I heard that on a podcast have not done the math personally but even if that's not the case I'd bet that people still would not be taking up that much space.) To your child you are irreplaceable as a parent. However I do agree that some people are not mature when they become parents and so they are actually not beneficial to their children. My point is that everyone should have the maturity to be able to have kids and if one of the reasons I stated poses a problem for them, then there's ways to find resolutions

    • @Kotifilosofi
      @Kotifilosofi 6 місяців тому

      ​@@ellianna.keller I don't know exactly how much is 500sq since I'm European. However, just the space to stand and have a house is not all people need. We also spend space on the fields growing food, fields growing food to our livestock (the majority of firlds are for this purpose actually), for the infrastructure, factories, to manufacture the raw material to products, to offer different services so on and so on... We're totally reaching the limit if we're talking about living, breathing, eating, waste-producing humans there's no way to deny that. No you're not. Orphans exist, children living among the host families or relatives exist. It's a sad reality for some children, but they can live without their parents, they're not irreplaceable in that sense like you make it sound to be. Even the children living with their biological parents have (should have) other supporting adults around them moreover the parents. A child only having their two parents around is in a vulnerable position. My point was, some people may have the maturity needed to have children, but they still may not want them, for a myriad of valid personal reasons. Sure if one _does_ want to have children but is just insecure about how it will all work out, we should support them to achieve that dream (in my country we actually do that, by the tax-funded birth, daycare, education, health care, social security services). But you were especially talking about CF people, those are not that target audience.

      Honey the state of Montana is small relative to the ENTIRE WORLD. My point is if the entire current population could fit in that space (it's enough for a small house) then we can certainly still fit in the entire world. I never said orphans don't exist or that people could survive without parents. However in order for humans to thrive they need a mom and a dad there's so much evidence to support that. I also never said that they don't have a benefit of other adults. Family and grandparents are so beneficial. But in order for humans to live a thriving life they do need their parents. Orphans can still eventually have a thriving life and other people who don't have a stable family culture but it will be much harder and there'll be a lot of undoing they'll have to go through emotionally. In order to raise healthy humans they do need their parents. I never said let's force people to have kids. I do think people need to actually start evaluating their motives though

    Here's some historical context for Gen Z: during the middle ages / black plague so many people died in Europe that the wealthy could no longer find workers. This led to astronomical wages for regular people for about a generation or so until the population was booming once again and the serfs went back to being paid serf wages. Times were good after the plague for the everyday working man / woman who could demand whatever they wanted as a salary. Do not let the wealthy talking heads like Elon Musk fool you into thinking less people breeding is a crisis. It's only a crisis for the uber wealthy like him. For the average human less people = higher wages better living standards for everyone. I know Gen Z thinks that marxism is going to save us all, but make no mistake, people in power will never allow a "socialist" utopia, any sort of socialist utopia is going to look like North Korea, not the dreamy good times Gen Z imagines it will be. The elite wealthy will never allow that. The only way to stick it to the uber wealthy, the people in power who have always been in power and will always be in power is to stop breeding. It's the only control the regular class of person of any race or ethnicity really has over the powerful.

    You seem to think that people are avoiding having children because they want to avoid maturity and responsibility but I would argue the opposite. Many people are looking at their current financial states and are aware that they could not raise a child in an ideal manner at the moment so they choose not to have one. Some will have some later when they're sure they can raise them right. Some will have them now since younger people have more energy. Some people won't have children at all. And it's up to the individual what their best option is. I am gen z, I am 20 years old and do not want children. I have been certain about this for years. My parents are amazing and I believe that they had the capacity to be so because they waited to have a child until they were ready and wanted one for sure.

    • @ellianna.keller
      @ellianna.keller 6 місяців тому

      If that were the primary reasoning I would say that definitely can be a sign of maturity. For the majority that I've seen and the culture at large choosing not to commit to marriage or commit to raising children generally comes from a perspective of not wanting to make the sacrifices necessary. What children need is loving parents who will work their butts off to make sure they are taken care of and fed and have a roof over their head. Many in our culture don't want to have kids because they can't afford the same house that their parents had or a daily Starbucks run for all the kids. Or a new trampoline. Even off of pretty low incomes you can still provide all the necessities for children that they need and generally some extra. I think most people just don't want to have to live in a place that's not as expensive or bougy. I'm not saying this is all people, I'm sure there are exceptions. But I do think that this is a good number of people and the culture at large
