Re:
A more pronatalist world, can solve problems such as "needing babysitting."
Pronatalist said:
As more women come to childbearing age throughout many parts of the world, of course they should be welcome to pair up, marry, and start pushing their babies out, without the bother of awkward, anti-family "birth control." If human reproduction is naturally growing to be or become "a mighty force of nature," then let it. Let some such beneficial aspects of nature yet remain "wild." It's all for our good and there's a profound sense of divine intelligence underlying such constructive change.
Does that mean you're offering to babysit when my partner and I need a night out from our 23.5 children?
Probably not, since you probably live too far away. More likely, I may offer to babysit for the 24 children of one of my own children, as of course, I would train my children not to use nasty anti-life "birth control" either.
There is a school of thought, that maybe, just maybe, nature doesn't always need our "help" to be more "natural." If human populations grow something like "out of control" forest fires, well nature didn't need our "help" before to manage them, did it? Often it's easier to "do nothing," than to "do something." Out in unpopulated inaccessible wilderness, it's generally more cost-effective to let natural wildfires naturally burn themselves out, without all that much if any, human intervention. Similarly, a world that doesn't push "family planning," tends to be simpler, kinder, more beautiful, and more natural, at least in the ways most beneficial to humans. Author Mary Pride claims that in countries where "birth control" is seldom used, family size of 5 or 6 children is typical. Even if a family did manage to have 20 children, which is quite unlikely, it would generally take a good long time, and the older children would help with the younger children. Actually, somebody on my forum, commented on how children used to mature into adults, responsibility, emotionally or however, at younger ages than they do today, due to the larger families of the past. They already have a pretty good idea how to parent, when having been surrounded by and helping with multiple siblings. That's a "modern" disfunction brought on by contraceptives. Grown up people, who still think that life's a big party, and that the world exists to entertain them, so immature for their age.
If you do manage to have so many children, wouldn't you know other large families, with whom you could trade babysitting with?
