Neither AC wants kids. I can't help feeling like I failed.

Not everyone! Different strokes for different folks. I highly doubt Kamala Harris feels that way.

I mean, her kids aren’t Kamala Harris.

You don't have to have given birth to feel like a mother.

Indeed though being a mother and feeling like one are vastly different experiences.

You don’t have to give birth to be a mother.

Ae they actually legitimately married?

I ask that as during Pre-cana it was was clear marriage is for the procreation of life.

I say you adopt.

Having kids in this country is too hard, expensive, and dangerous. The younger generations have realized this and are opting out. I don't blame them.

Well I am amazed I am still alive after I told my cousin who had a similar complaint that maybe if your husband got a better job you could stay home with kids and that would solve your day care issue.

I have 5 older siblings so I have lots of nieces and nephews. Very few of them want kids or have kids. Those that do have kids have decided to only have 1.

I don't blame them. Kids are so expensive these days. I have 4 kids who are all 16-23 and if we were just starting out in 2024, I doubt we would have had 4.

They are less expensive in many ways. My block and area has all five bedroom homes. The younger families with 2 kids have three empty bedrooms. Most of their kids go to public school and majority of women are SAHMs or a cushy remote job. They just dont want them.

You think the aging mother of late 20s/early 30s adults should adopt? That's... an interesting idea.

If you live in a 5 bedroom home (on a block with all other 5b homes), I don't think you understand the realities of the average person trying to afford kids and life. That is not how most people live.

You're still alive because that's too idiotic to even argue about. One parent leaving the workforce and doing long-term damage to their career and retirement savings isn't a solution.

Not really, my very rich widowed uncle had two deadbeat kids with no kids. His 24 year old nephew moved in and lived with him till he was 35 and acted as a replacement child, he even changed his diapers and bath him at end. He left him everything and left kids out of will. You can actually adopt adults.

That is a bizarre situation. How is changing a 35 year olds diapers a replacement for a grandchild? Wtf?

Because that nephew who actually since had married and has kids lives in his beautiful home to this day. He is now 65 and his kids will inherit house and his name will be remembered. His direct line tree was dead so he moved over to his sisters kid.
