It also doesn't help that you used to have free roaming children. They came back home when it was getting dark outside. There was a whole community around them that would take care of them too.
Now you have to monitor your kids 24/7, push them to goals and activities or you're painted as a bad parent. There are heavy vehicles at high speed everywhere now so no more free roaming. Unaccompanied minors get reported to the police.
When the environment is actively hostile to children, it's also no wonder people have less children.
This is key. So-called “families values conservatives” often lament low birth rates, but can also make it impossible for their neighbours to raise children with their culture war bullshit.
But, let’s be real, they don’t want everybody to have kids…they want certain people to have more kids. It’s cultural dog whistling.
The racists are foaming as they see their "ubermensch" white race refuse to have kids while so called sand people are "breeding like cockroaches" (which is a lie, just look at the statistics).
