[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

They are less expensive in many ways. My block and area has all [b]five bedroom homes.[/b] 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. [/quote]
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. [/quote]

OP doesn't say it's a financial issue for her kids. Or that they want them and feel it's unaffordable.[/quote]

I would be renting out those extra bedrooms! I see my immigrant neighbors do it and they are flush with cash.

With 5 bedrooms you could have a live-in housekeeper and nanny and be more available to your own career.

Some people just don't know how to leverage what they already have.

Extrapolate to your own situation. [/quote]
