  • I’ve been in the same situation, drives me nuts.

    This is why it’s best to avoid asking questions and rather send messages that inform, when possible. Say things like “I’m going to do this unless I hear otherwise” instead of making it a question. I try to put the burden on them to change an action or simply give them the option to not reply at all.

    Of course, sometimes it just isn’t possible.



















  • There was a podcast I listened to a while back that indicated the opposite, the idea was that the better off people are, the less likely they are to have kids. One of the explanations I remember was that the better off people are, kids are just another competing thing that they can do. For example, if you are well off and can go travel for a long period of time, you might be more inclined to do that vs deciding to have kids. Another stat was that birthrates were higher for lower income people.
