Lower Birth Rates
If you look at the statistics today , you will realize that the birth rate in Americais dropping quickly . I think this is for a variety of reasons . First, the economy continues to drop . If they are upset about their own finances and putting food on the table , then the thought of future college bills is incomprehensible . So, the political economy of our country is scaring people from giving birth . Second, the US for the past however many years has worked its way into probably the most individualistic society in the history of the mankind . When people are thinking only of self and trying to bring glory to their name, the idea of changing poopy diapers is not that sexy The narrative of most youth in the nation is, “I’ll live life as fullest as I can for as long as I can, and then maybe when I’m older, I might get married and have a kid or two.” I think another factor not to be neglected is the percentages of people who have faith in America. Traditionally, both Christians and Muslims will have high birth rates because of their beliefs . In fact, if you look around the world, Muslims are having babies at a very high rate , which is leading to a world population that will be dominated by Muslims in a few years. With faith that is dwindling in America, birth rates do as well .
With all that said, I have to say that I haven’t seen the birth rate trends in my neck of the woods . It seems like everyone I know is having a baby. Many people in my social network are just at that point of having babies . It seems every month or so, I am off to another baby shower . Fortunately, I have found a jackpot for baby gifts that moms seem to love . You can purchase baby blankets at this site for a bargain . They have a nifty selection and a very user friendly site. If you want to shop by color for boy or girl, it’s very uncomplicated to do . The est blankets to buy for friends and family are these aden and anais blankets. Every mom I get them for thanks me because their baby sleeps so well swaddled in them . The linked to site has them for great prices, and you can break down the 4 packs to give as separate gifts, which gives you a great blanket as a gift for beneath $10. Hooray for bargains!
Many of my friends, once home on maternity care, don’t want to go back to work . Many are choosing to work at home through blogging or other online jobs. If you can blog or manage some Social Media accounts, then you can stay at home with baby. It’s a pretty good gig. . I think all these babies around is a good thing, and maybe we can turn this birth rate thing around!
