[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won't have kids until this country gets serious with "family friendly" policies - mandatory sick leave and vacation time, mandatory maternity leave, affordable childcare, universal pre-K, affordable and high quality colleges, etc.

We are DINKs but seriously thinking of pursuing opportunities in other countries that actually value children and parents.[/quote]

See ya! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, loser.

Worth noting -- those countries with supposedly "family friendly" policies have EVEN LOWER fertility rates than the USA.

So "family friendly" policies... aren't.[/quote]

I'm trying to understand what your point is here.  :?  The other countries have adopted "family friendly" policies in reaction to declining birth rates. Birth rates among non-Hispanic white women in the U.S. are only 1.75 and shrinking. This is well below Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and the UK.

The fact of the matter is that in the U.S., we import our population growth. We take in poor immigrants and they have lots of kids to support the older generations of Americans. We did that with the Irish and the Italians. Now we are doing it with Latino immigrants.[/quote]
