Despite the recent findings that having kids might be harmful to your self-esteem, it's pretty safe to say that American culture is "pronatalist": As soon as you graduate college, start a career, and marry somebody, the next level of the video game called life is parenthood. Whether it's your mom asking about would-be grandkids over the holidays or the endless parade of domestic sitcoms, there's an agreed-upon assumption that "family" includes children, and that not having kids must be the result of infertility or just not getting around to it. But these expectations are at odds with changes in the way people are living: From the 1970s to the 2000s, the number of childless women in the U.S. nearly doubled, and the national data suggests that 15 percent of women and 24 percent of men hit 40 without having kids.

Donald Trump has more psychopathic traits than Adolf Hitler, while Hillary Clinton shows 'machiavellian egocentricity': Scientists conclude BOTH presidential candidates may be psychopaths – but claim that could be a good thing
Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign by promising to build a "great, great wall" on the US southern border -- and make Mexico pay for it -- while painting undocumented Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists.
Donald Trump says there could be a "softening" in his hardline immigration proposals -- though he did not provide detail and his campaign so far has yet to offer a coordinated message on whether there's been a shift in policy.
Donald Trump's campaign is defending its reasoning for more than quadrupling what it pays to rent office space in the Republican presidential nominee's namesake tower, saying the higher rent comes from occupying more space.
Donald Trump signaled a reversal on one of his key policy issues, suggesting he would be open to a "softening" of his positions on illegal immigration. "There certainly can be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people," Trump said
Donald Trump's new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway says that Donald Trump's current immigration plan is the same as it was before it is just how to execute the plan that has been changing.
