[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shift was caused by the number of children. When families typically had 3-4 or 6 or 8 kids, they were valuable collectively but less individually. Now families have 1 or 2 kids and each is very valuable, and therefore receives a larger parental investment of time, money, and other resources.[/quote] Kids were less valuable individually? That’s incredibly stupid thinking. Parents may have had less time for each kid individually, but they didn’t value them less. [/quote] I know a few families with a large # of kids (Catholics) and the youngest kids were definitely NOT valued. BIRTH CONTROL gave families the means to have fewer kids and value them more.
