Yea “OOPS BABIES” are a problem and burden for single mothers. What SHOULD be happening is young black men getting into trades and/or university and establishing themselves so they are ready to propose and have families by their late 20s early 30s, and young women should be holding out and waiting to have children with a responsible guy. HS girls shouldn’t be having oops babies OUT OF WEDLOCK. They should be pairing up with capable men when they’re a little older.

ANYWAY.

Marriage and family need to be encouraged and supported by society. There’s a reason why a lot of young women are holding off/pushing back on marriage and it isn’t all about “hot girl summer” etc. This isn’t about the party girls.
Well the issue is going to college and trade school and a proposal ain't gonna fix an ugly face.

At this point nikkas know their lane by the time they're 16 and move accordingly, same thing for the women.

Welfare and child subsidies.
Nobody lives a decent lifestyle on welfare and subsidies, and those programs seem to punish people for trying to do better.

You gotta be living like a literal dirtbag or scamming the system to qualify for any type of government assistance. That's not gonna encourage anyone to have kids.

Theres something interesting about this phenomenon

Becuase i can understand not having kids. Theres many many reasonable arguments against it.

But those reasons have existed for centuries.

Why has the culture shifted even with more means available for most of us.

The average person in American society is living better than bloodline royalty did a thousand years ago.


Self sacrifice has been abolished. Self sacrifice meaning sacrificing a part of yourself for the greater good. That's not taught anymore. Motherhood has been demonized. iPhones, 800 dollar car payments designer clothes and designer marijuana is what's being pushed. Gotta live in a luxury apartment paying 2000 a month and get a passport so you can fukk hoes



Women sleep around like men, and are applauded for being gay. So even if u want kids as a man, chances are good all u will be is a baby daddy, not a husband and a father. Just the daddy to the baby, no other attachments to the house. That's if the kid is yours. And she liable to have kids with another guy. Your going to have to deal with that. Have kids, u might be working two jobs til u 50 paying child support.


American society is emphasizing the individual, making everyone incredibly selfish. We are emphasizing women having careers meanwhile the women are concubining themselves, refusing to deal with men with lesser incomes. Parents kicking they young men out the house when the kid can't even drink legally or get a rental car, which almost always leads to poverty and chaos.


Lots of reasons but they all lead back to American culture turning into straight trash due to capitalism and materialism. This country and it's citizens might as well be worshipping the devil, that's the issue.

I have four other adult siblings. The youngest just made it to 30. We all middle to upper middle class in income and lifestyle. None of us have children. Parents are showing some very early signs of sadness.

I have three other first cousins and only one has children. Just had his second who is a year apart from his first (two boys 1yo and 2yo). He's saying he's done though.

Out of a generation of eight millennial adults in my immediate family, only one has kids. The two babies are the only ones in our family younger than 29 years old.
I know this is anecdotal, but it’s a great example of what is happening out here. Similar to what is happening in my family. No one is reeeeeeally trying to figure out WHY millennials aren’t having kids.


A lot of elders don’t want to have the real conversations with you, either lol. There’s a lot of shyt that is being left unsaid right now, but one thing I can tell you is a lot of young women and men ain’t trying to get caught up or played out here.

And reform alimony and child support laws. A lot of men ending their bloodlines early because of those financially regressive laws.
Have kids, u might be working two jobs til u 50 paying child support.

This is actually a myth I had to correct myself a couple days ago, only 10% of separations result in alimony and 91% of custody decisions are made outside of family court. Men willingly give up the kids more often. Of the 9% of women that gain sole custody through the courts, 53% receive child support. Being a 'deadbeat dad' is also a stereotype, more women are delinquent on spousal and child support than men.

I'm not sure where your numbers are sourced from but Ive never met a woman working two jobs to pay child support, never seen a woman go to jail for failure to pay

Keep trying to tell y’all kids are lame. They fukk up ya life and for women, their life and body. Y’all don’t listen.

This line of thinking to deem children and families as nothing more than a burden to society is why you're seeing a new generation realizing that they're going to be alone because of the decisions they made to avoid children,relationships and families in the pursuit of money.

Known as the reverse-boomerang effect, the phenomenon of parents moving in with their adult children, often for financial reasons, is on the rise. According to a Pew Research Center analysis of population data, 14 percent of adults living in someone else’s home in 2017 were a parent of the head of household, up from just 7 percent in 1995. And this trend is expected to balloon in the coming decades as baby boomers leave the work force but can’t afford to support themselves.

Enter the resurgence of multigenerational housing, when adults from at least two generations share the same home. After declining to its lowest point in 1980, multigenerational housing is now close to its 1950 peak, representing 20 percent of the total American population in 2016, according to another Pew analysis.

While that trend is largely driven by 20-somethings living with their middle-aged parents, Pew researchers found that older adults were also significantly more likely to be living with their grown children in recent years than they were in the 1990s.

Younger Americans should take this pattern seriously, says Georgia Lee Hussey, a financial planner in Portland, Ore., who has clients across the country. “Most of my clients have at least one parent that needs to be factored into their financial plan,” she said. “What’s tricky is that for some families, it can be unexpected. Especially in white American culture, people over 60 are often uncomfortable talking about their finances, and ashamed to ask their children for help.”

And don’t underestimate the power of denial. Ms. Hussey noted that many baby boomers watched their own parents enjoy an era of heartier pension plans and lower health care costs. Now, many Americans work hard all their lives but still don’t have enough savings to retire. “Then, suddenly their child realizes, ‘Oh, I’m going to have to take care of dad,’” she said. “It can lead to some incredibly difficult conversations.”


No retirement plan and so they have to move in with their kids. Baby Boomers are the GOAT generation they deserve grandchildren...amirite?

They do that in Europe and Japan it never ever works, either women want to have kids or they don't. Women gotta have a life too.
The only place I can think of where they do that in Europe (Austria) has rising birth rates. In japan you still have to work insane hours

They cost too fukking much and everything is egregiously expensive. The USGOVT wants a population boom? Then raise wages and make these places for housing, rent, day care and food capped for 30 yrs atleast.

Then we will give these greedy ass Baby Boomers fukking children.
