This article is correct, but culturally strange. Parenthood is a responsibility. It requires self-sacrifice for the good of future generations of humans. What's troubling is the belief it would be otherwise. Why would anyone think parenthood is easy or fulfilling? Why do we prime people for careers and then expect them to have kids? Why do we de-prioritize children? Why do we think they can be wedged into an already busy life? Yes, this article is true... and horrifying. How far we've fallen. How selfish we've become.
