[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all 7 pgs -- but haven't people been saying this for generations? Don't know how our kids will ever get married, buy a house, have kids bc it's sooooo expensive now. And yet every generation manages.[/quote]

And yet the birth rate has dropped significantly.[/quote]

And how do you know that's bc of expenses rather than just lesser interest in having babies?[/quote]

My friends and I [b]LOVE [/b]babies..but how can we pay student loans, $2K/mo RENT , $2K daycare  with men who are mamma's boys and not willing to grow up? 
Young women are expected to make equal financial contributions , be excited to work F/T and then come home and do 95% of childcare and housework with little/no help from anyone, and go to the gym or run marathons with DH, and then be ready for sex at a moment's notice.

It's NOT the lack of interest in having babies, its the LACK OF RESOURCES (financial, physical, emotional, etc) that are affecting the birthrate.
