    You say that but if I could have a afforded a house kids would have been on the table. I cant even consider children with no available stable grand parents and no way to afford a home and pay for babysitting at same time. Thanks to that, me or my SO have full time home maker and we can’t afford that currently. More Money or cheaper housing would solve my problem at least.

      I say that because it’s true, and the USA has higher birth rates than most countries where your considerations are barely relevant at all. As it happens, the USA also has higher poverty rates, a more misogynist and patriarchal culture, and less access to family planning than these countries.
