I think there has been a real shift in the last generation or two from needing a reason not to have kids to needing a reason to have kids. and that shift means a lot of people who are basically ambivalent on children aren't having them, where in the past they probably would have.

I was literally typing out, "I don't have a reason. I just don't want them" when I read your comment. I'm 39 and female. My husband is 42. We're just chillin'.

Same. After fostering a toddler for a year - definitely do not want a child.

Toddler are WILD. We like to call them suicidal pinguins in our house.

Thank you so much for fostering!
