    • birth control
    • economic insecurity
    • extremely high cost of living
    • no social network to help with childcare
    • economic opportunities during child bearing years delay pregencies

    So if someone is going to have 11 kids (both my grandmothers actually) they need to get started early, hit the ground running. If, however, do to the above a couple gets started in their late thirties then few children will happen.

      I just had this conversation with my SO today. And I said that knowing her parents are going to be close alleviates a bit of the anxiety around having kids. Not because I need their guidance, but to give me a break that I will need to have.
