[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why have 3 kids?  I have not seen any mom (unless they are wealthy like Hilaria Baldwin or Kim K) who don't start losing it after two kids.

3 is super hard and no one else wants to look after your kid either. This is not a society where women have a village to raise their kids.  You are seriously screwed if you have 3 kids. In our circle the only people who have had 3 kids were people whose second pregnancy resulted in twins. And the moment you hear "twins" for a second pregnancy, you start to feel bad for them because more than 2 kids is chaos.[/quote]

In DC where everyone has purposely moved here, away from their families of origin, what you’re saying is correct.

[b]Most people in the US live where they grew up and have family around[/b]. [/quote]

How do you know this? I don’t think it’s true.[/quote]
It’s an incredibly tough time to raise a family. There are so many factors to now consider that past generations never had to face. No one is really prepared to become a parent but like all jobs, certain qualities should be required. Not everyone is meant to be, nor should become, a parent, and we need to be able to recognize and accept this. [/quote]

I also think young adults today are lacking in friendship making skills. My sister and her husband complain of loneliness/no friends, but they drive their kids to school even though they have a bus, they don’t go on walks and take their kids and dog strictly into their backyard, they don’t have any hobbies or ever leave their house unless they have to. Then they say people aren’t friendly. But they want NO advice on changing this and get really defensive.

Also, when I think of how maxed out we were with two young kids, I literally could not imagine having a third in quick succession. I truly cannot believe how many parents do this without a gap/break. [/quote]
Yes, people have become social dunces. Probably because they portray a certain image on social media, they simply cannot maintain it irl. I would love to make friends with my neighbors but they are socially stunted. I am gen X, i want to talk and make friends with these millennials who just aren’t able to hold an interesting conversation. I want to get to know them but I can’t, there’s a wall up.[/quote]

Maybe they just don’t like you? [/quote]
