[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's lots of data that covid lowered fertility rates overall but there was a baby boom among the UMC+.  [b]Suddenly life was slower and more manageable for so many - why not have another baby if you're just hanging out at home[/b].

Also lots of research on how larger families have once again become a status symbol [/quote]

We realized that we were never going to have that supportive, family-focused extended network that some of our peers have and that I think we used to think was something our families would do as well.

I have a local network of close relatives, but I still don't know how families manage to juggle 3 kids with 2 careers. Perhaps it's because everyone in my network works full-time. The parents I know with 3 kids and 2 full-time careers who don't seem stressed out have a set of grandparents living with them in the same home.[/quote]

Shut up [/quote]

+1. Maybe you just feel threatened by the fact that some people are better than you at juggling children and jobs. It happens. The world is full of people who are better at things than you. [/quote]

Nah. The world is just full of people with lower parenting standards. [/quote]

NP. The families I know with more kids have the better behaved kids overall. There are a couple of exceptions but it’s obvious enough that I noticed it before now. Maybe they just like kids and are willing to do more of the hard parenting work in the beginning to get the good behavior.[/quote]

Not at all my experience, especially the boys. [/quote]
