I think @noordinary makes a few interesting points. Most couples today both work, or at the very least one works too much, and the kid is either neglected by one or both parents, so that kinda goes into the environment problems discussed. Never understood the addiction to work personally especially now as I strive to bring stress down, not further up. I personally can't wait to retire, and saving hard to make it happen as soon as I can, so I can move to a nice climate that is pro-metabolic. Money is nice, but if you sacrifice your health to get it, it's a complete trap. If you're working a job you love and it brings joy and stress reduction, that's awesome, but for most of us that's not the case. And I feel like I'm also the only one that is taking my sweet time to worry about having kids lol. I want to have a 100% handle on my own health before even considering that. I see all my friends having kids in their 20s, and then having to work until their 60-70s. I realized early on that's not the life I wanted, waiting until you're 60-70 to actually do what you wanna do, doesn't seem like a life to me. Though, perhaps I digress a bit from the original topic of discussion lol.
