Why isn't motherhood seen as a job , as a career?

(I don't have kids btw, before you question)

Almost all countries are complaining about declining birth rates.

Pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, raising kids for at least 18 years have a cost for women physically, financially, socially. It also effects their career.

When they look at where men and women tend to spend their money, women tend to spend more for their home and kids. It won't be wasted, it will be like an investment. Money will circle, plus kids. Good for the economy. More stable home dynamic, maybe?

People don't see kids as a must-have in life anymore, some women will choose to stay childfree even if they are offered money. Also there are so many people who say they would have had kids if they earned enough money.

None of us and these countries would have existed if a mother wouldn't have given birth to us. Wouldn't it be like paying the source?

I won't keep it long , but it seems reasonable to me.

Mama is the neighborhood feral that I am trying to befriend so I can trap her and have her spayed. Now add 3 babies to that goal.

It's a triple chocolate mousse cake infused with a coffee liqueur syrup. Yes the D's in "did" are turned the wrong way but it was 3am by the time I did the lettering and I just didn't have it in me to do it again lol

Sponge Bob is her favorite childhood cartoon and it got her through some really difficult times in college!

This scene is so funny bc he looks so proud saying "can't get no better" as if he didn't just create the worst tacos I had ever seen in my life. Like what's with the comical single piece of lettuce? Who adds olives to their tacos?? Why did he add salsa on everything but the damn food?? Whole time they're wondering why their business is failing like bro take a hint 💀

Apple announced Watch OS 27 and showing it will not support Series 7,8 and 9 as well as the first generation Ultra. Surprised to see so many generations go at once.

Edit: I missed this also kills the series 6 and SE 2!

Edit 2: for those of us being left behind here and hoping to push forward with watchOS 26 and use a phone running 27, I have a word of caution. I waited to upgrade to watchOS 26 from 11 and was running iOS 26, no issues until iOS 26.4 which completely cutoff functionality with my watch until I upgraded to watchOS 26. So you may have to stay on ios26 to keep your watch working.

Edit 3: Some people are commenting saying that the beta versions are showing as available for some for the watches we thought were being left out. So fingers crossed we will see what happens.

Edit 4: Thank you so much to those of you who gave me an award! I’ve never had one before 🎉

Edit 5: reading Apple newsroom release it appears the Apple Watch series 9 WILL run WatchOS 27. However, the Ultra 1, Series 7, 8 and SE 2 will still be left out of this update.
