Birth rates will continue going down. It’s not faith, or the lack of it. It’s not money, or the lack of it. It’s time, or the lack of it. What is time made of? It's made up of 4 elements when there's room for only 3 of them, unless you want to be heading towards fundamental dissatisfaction due to a lack of time - a dissatisfaction that can lead to burn-out and the destruction of a personality. The 4 elements are: 1) Sleep. 2) Work. 3) Family (children). 4) ‘Leisure’ (screens, reading, love, friendships, solitude, playing a musical instrument, personal development, etc.) Can you do without sleep? Obviously not. Cutting back on sleep is bad for your health. Very. Can you do without work? Yes, if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. In other words: no, you can't. That leaves only two adjustment variables. If you are reasonable, you do what the watchdogs of reasonable living keep telling you: when you reach ‘adulthood’, you behave like an adult and drastically reduce the amount of time you devote to ‘leisure’, particularly screen time. But here's the snag: living an adult life, a reasonable life, is the best way to miss out on life. This has become impossible to hide.

I work in a nursing home. We are filled with residents who have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and no one ever comes to visit. Children as insurance for old age is a bad idea.

This was very interesting, thanks for sharing! I was born in Africa but now live in Germany, having moved here to be with my husband. I keep seeing the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" (supposedly an African saying, but I can't vouch for this for sure) and even in German parenting blogs and magazines this comes up frequently. So now with all this talk of having a "village", many moms are confronted with the concept of something they feel they should have but in fact don't (and simply can't, given how society is set up these days). I live in a German village of about 800 people and even this doesn't really constitute a "village" in the sense that Jim Dalrymple is talking about. To find that, you probably have to go back at least 40 years to when my husband was growing up here on the family farm. At that time, several generations lived and worked together on the farm. On top of that, there were farm labourers who ate lunch with the family and kept an eye on the kids. And then there were neighbours- in this farming community, there is very, very little geographical mobility, so different families are connected with one another over generations. At that time, most women were housewives. Today this village is still a great place to raise children (and I can also add that I do appreciate that everything's closed on Sundays in Germany) but it's not the same as when my husband was a little boy. Intentional communities can help slow down atomization and stem loneliness, but in a genuine "village", many people are connected by blood or marriage, and families grow up and grow old side by side over generations. It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes generations to raise a village.

I love you 😊😊😊😊😊 . you inspire to become a good husband

I worship this woman

Nice

No, they're not patriarchal. That's literally matriarchy in action... empathy twisted and gnarled with no counterbalance to the point that eats its own. Exactly zero to do with patriarchy. Just say what it is. Until you do, you'll keep excluding allies.
