US also has the worst and most expensive healthcare of all 1st world countries. On top of that we are the most car dependent.

Having kids means your entire life has to revolve around your children. Picking them up from school, dropping them off, driving to baseball practice, driving to friends houses, etc. all while working a full time job with little vacation time.

I have a well paying job with “above average” benefits. Most of my coworkers dump all of their PTO into taking care of their kids especially having to leave work for sick kids.

Even back in the 70s child rearing was a lot easier the vast majority of American children just walked to school, their friends houses, and all their activities. Parents were involved but not nearly to the scale they are required to be today. Most parents I know spend an extra 2-3 hours/day just driving their kids around. It’s insane and a non-issue in the rest of the world.
