I'm sorry, OP. |
I’m sure it’s nice to have my kids living with me, but what about when they are married or dating, do I really want to hear my three daughters and their husband’s in the middle of the night? Not to mention having three families of grandchildren who has a house that big? |
^^ I mean PP. |
DP. It would be out of necessity. Those with the financial wherewithal,like a previous poster, will help their children afford a separate place. |
are your kid making soap |
People will be reducing their family size. If you can't support children, you won't have them. |
| The Family Relationship forum is going to be so entertaining in 2035! The beach house vacation that never ends! |
You have never lived in the rural south I expect. Lots of people have children they can’t afford. Besides, the husbands were my more pressing worry! |
The young adults I know are putting off childbearing until their mid-thirties. They don't want to struggle to raise a child in a bad financial situation. Those without family money say they only want one or none. |
I guess this makes me feel better. I live near so many people who have tons of kids yet don’t have a car and are doing their laundry at the laundromat. If they’re somehow making it work and don’t care…. |
That's not how I was raised and it doesn't sound like you or your kids were either. |
| If they're laying off 7,000 people, what exactly were they doing and who is going to do their work? |
This is funny to me, because in 1800, one of my ancestors was living exactly like this in a big one-room bunkhouse style cottage. I have a feeling that all those old-timey tropes about a roll in the hay came from that kind of peasant lifestyle. |
That's what we did--kids at 35 and 40. The downside is that you could end up unemployed or underemployed in your 50s with teenagers. |
| Why do people still have kids when there will be no more jobs left? Every kid you create will produce a human that will live in utter squalor and misery in only 20 years. AI will be ruinous. |
