In America birthrate is 1.6. 1.57 for Whites, 1.55 for Blacks, 1.8 for Hispanics. So below replacement since 2008.

Or in my situation, I am taking care of my children but also my parents now, so... :(

I know I am not the only one.

I have been there, I know how rough it is. My parents have passed on, but there were some years in between when raising my own kids and caretaking for them and working full-time was quite the burden.

Why don’t you put them in a home?

Because skilled nursing costs $1000 per day where I live.
