Have you had children born in the same year?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Considering 1960 was the first fda approved birth control pill that makes sense.

Not really since it was not allowed by the Church.

Interesting. I thought that society changed in general, and family started taking a less dominant role in a persons life.

And women didn't get pregnant like before. You can google it and decide I'm not saying anything new.

Trust me it wasn't men that created the sexual revolution they were always on board with that

Oh man you are a funny one.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

That is a big part of why the sexual revolution started in the 60's.

FTFY

I think that birth control was always available, but sexual relationships were generally marital and not casual. I wasn't around in the sixties, but from what i understand, a lot more significant things changed regarding traditional values than the FDA approving a birth control drug.

Lol. Nice fact. They had other birth control methods before that, though.

Rashi in Beraishis mentions one. So yeah 1000 years ago they knew about BC. Was called Kois Shel Akurin.

There are methods mentioned in the talmud as well.

Rashi mentions it in the context of Lemech(?) marrying Tzilah and Adah. So they knew about it from the dawn of biblical times.

I don't think anyone's saying it's new.
The ease and effectiveness of it is what was new.

I was going apple picking the other day with my 3 children ka"h. A random guy comes over to me, "aren't your kids too close in age?".
I told him that the oldest is short and he's 6, and the youngest is 1. He was satisfied.

I wasn't interested in getting into a philosophical argument with him, if the reason why people stopped having kids so close in age (and only 2-3  kids), is out of concern for their children, or selfishness.......
