She sure looks honored
She looks like she has so many kids because her husband rapes her routinely.
Government: Oh we’re not gonna help you afford all those kids. That’s commie shit.
“The Cross of Clown Car”
“Women with many children are heroes! We have to praise them, give them medals!”
“What about child support instead?”
“Hahahhahah, good one”
And they made fun of millennials for participation trophies.
It was the Boomers who gave out the participation trophies
But first let’s make everything a family would need to raise a child (let alone 3 or 4) extremely expensive and gut any and all support for the mother and child.
Next complain that it’s avocado toast that is keeping the lazy Millennials from having kids!
Listen if the millennials haven’t had kids by now they probably aren’t going to.
I agree but they seem to still be the generation that gets beat up by the media, though gen Z is starting to come into focus as the next generation that is “destroying everything!!!”
I’m just waiting on the participation trophies for every time I have sex
Don’t you have to participate to get one of those?
Source for this atrocity?
Also reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stork_Derby
Simone Collins and her husband, Malcolm Collins, are pro-natalists who have advocated actions to make it less difficult for families to have children and ultimately reverse declining birth and marriage rates. Simone Collins told ABC News that she and her husband have submitted several draft executive orders to the White House Domestic Policy Council, including bestowing a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with six or more children.
Should you enable an environment where having children doesn’t mean you’re worse off or shiny trinket
Yeah, she looks absolutely thrilled…
Her vagina is only source of pain now. Not pleasure
As a German: That generation of kids was not happy. In fact they were a very unhappy bunch.
To be fair most of the generation around this time weren’t particularly blessed…
That was also due to the poisonous pedagogy, especially the book Die deutsche Mutter und ihr erstes Kind that was favoured at the time and even still used until the 70s or 80s.
Holy shit, that’s a google rabbit hole I fell into. She also wrote, “Mother, Tell Me about Adolf Hitler.” Spooky parallels with evangelical and right childrearing books.
Schwarze Pädagogik 😬 Ein weiteres Beispiel, was Menschen anderen Menschen antun im Namen einer Ideologie, Kapitalismus, Faschismus, Religion, egal.
I squeezed six Germans out of my hooha, and all I got was this lousy medal.
For that reason it was derogatorily called Karnickelorden (rabbits order).
You had a bunch of sex with a guy you half like, spent 9 months like a sumo wrestler, then passed a melon from your body through a hole that originally fit a tennis ball and now you have to spend the next ten years spending a fortune raising a human being, then another decade spending an even larger fortune to raise them to become an adult … here’s a $50 medal for your effort.
you missed the
…and repeated the feat five more times–concurrently.
before awarding the medal.
There were three ranks: bronze – 4 children, silver – 6 children, and gold – 8 children. Worth to mention that all the babies had to be born alive.
Worth to mention that all the babies had to be born alive.
As in, only the alive ones counted, or a single stillbirth would invalidate your entire record?
If you mean a stillborn would invalidate your series, then no, they simply didn’t count.
I’m not saying it couldn’t happen concurrently, but probably consecutively.
With the wonders of life-saving vaccines for all, why should mothers need to have so many children to ensure at least a couple lived to adulthood? Oh…
Realistically it’s probably neither perfectly concurrently nor consecutively. Concurrently is unlikely but possible, but no woman is fertile long enough to fully raise 6 children fully consecutively. Heck, no woman lives long enough to do that. That’s 120 years not counting pregnancy.
Russia does this too.
To this day you can get Honorary Godparenthood from our Federal President for the 7th child.
Phineas I know what we’re gonna do today!
