Thanks for emailing the article. Again, very interesting.

I agree that good father involvement makes having another child not as daunting. I find it troubling though that some governments support childcare so much. It doesn't seem right that someone other than the parents spend almost half the waking hours with the child. The future is in the hands of those who run daycares.

I hope to get a silver german mother cross.

I worry about extreme religious groups that do not practice any birth control taking over the world.

The groups that embrace the population decline seem to make sense, but the fact that God said to be fruitful makes me cautious about agreeing.
