Martin acknowledges that the reasons Israelis have many children is “private, subjective, and varied,” yet he seems to think he knows exactly why child free people don’t have children. I’m so tired of these articles where people spew forth their condescending presumptions about why people don’t have children, seemingly without ever having asked anyone who doesn’t have children why that is.

My son left a northeastern college town near where he and his wife grew up because it was kid unfriendly and had bad schools, schools that promoted indoctrination over education. They moved to a beat up house with acreage in the middle south with their three young children. They have met families that enjoy having kids and critters and friendships. She is an educator, he a tradesman and they are home schooling with other families. He is in touch with his late 30’s married childless high school friends and they have good incomes, are aimless and bored. He and his wife worry and protect, but could not happier.
