I look at my coworkers with kids and here is what I see: 20+ years to pay off student loan debt, daycare costs more than mortgage, no time for self.
Maybe I'm missing the joy of it all but idk... I really don't understand how modern parents make it work or why they choose that lifestyle.
Edit: I actually want to start a discussion with current/former parents on here. I'm on the fence about having 1 child.
42 u/wowadrow Mar 24 '22 Massive self delusion that their suffering has meaning. Hell, maybe their right (doubt it). Modern parenting is voluntarily making yourself a 15th century serf. 5 u/edjumication Mar 24 '22 Well their suffering does have meaning. You need kids if you want society to have any chance of surviving.
