MIL was dismayed when we announced our 3rd baby. She stopped at 2, why shouldn't we?
Threw up her arms when we announced a 4th.
For the 5th baby she happily marked her calendar.
Now she's pressuring me to have number 6. Can't get enough of babies.
People change.
pronatalism is comprised of:
1) desire for more kids
2) physical capacity for lots of pregnancies
3) managerial capacity for lots of kids
4) socio-environmental infrastructure
my frustration with hannah’s children is that it focused on #1, but #2-4 merit just as much discussion
@dilanesper Right, which is *exactly* why posts by lawyers saying “my client was found guilty of e.g. murdering children, but I got the sentence reduced on some technicality” are bad, and rightly subject to scorn.
