[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know more families with three kids than two and almost none with only one. Based on my personal experience, I find it hard to believe that Americans are having less kids. When I was a kid two kids was the norm, but now that seems like a small family. [/quote] Cool story, bro. The reality is Americans are indeed having fewer (not less) kids. Average family size has gone down slightly between 1960 and 2017, from 3.67 people to 3.14 people. In addition, the percentage of families with 1 child has reached about 25%. In wealthy metro areas the percentage of families with one child is much higher than that (for example, in Seattle it's almost 50%). Despite what OP seems to think, "everyone" is not having 3 kids. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/singletons/200805/one-child-the-new-traditional-family [/quote]
