I personally think most people aren't mature enough to think about kids before being ~30yo.

And even a lot of 30 year olds are not even remotely mature...

Well, there was this married chinese couple of highly educated citizens, that belived that holding hands would result in babies. And that is the reason why there should also be proper sex education in the first place.
I think they where in their 40s, and they had not dared to attempt babymaking because both had careers to get into.
After a few months of snuggeling and holding hands they asked the doctor about it, and was shocked.
So age is no factor for helping either

Doomforge I'm sure you're well awear that it completely depends on the individual(s), trying to generalize is unadvisable in my presence .

As for China, I think we already established that things over there are 'unique', in the baby eating discussion, so I doubt I have anymore to add to this.

On a brighter note, it is good to see them engaging in business that doesn't involve cheap manufacturing of european goods . Also I'm anxious to find out aswell who bought the child, it is the only thing that concerns me int his topic...

Generalization is always bad... hence the "most" in my post.

What about the state offering enormous financial counterpart for each new born?

Take for example north africa. They have quite low income, 50/100 euros/month at best. By coming with a child in France they get twice this money before they could even work. And the amount is doubled for each new born. Does this change the perspective of family concept?

Smithey what on earth are you going to do with just 2 slaves?
You either have more stashed away (in which case I'll make it my business), or you're a fool and you only have 2 .



On a serious note (), everything that needed to be said has been said regarding the 'uniqueness' of chinese culture when it comes to kids (IMHO). Feel free to delete this post, if you deem it off-topic

Yes, you have read my mind. If it shouldn't be anyone under 21, it must be someone older than 60.
