Man, did they really need a study for this?? Seems pretty obvious but I guess not.

Let's see, what are points of stress? Costs of living, raising children, time...

During COVID, I had multiple people shrug off how hard everything was with kids and disregard parents struggles. That's a cultural thing which is what studies like this are addressing and trying to help build momentum to change.

It's easier to build that momentum with data instead of just vibes because even though this is self-evident to both of us, we're not the hearts and minds that require changing.

It's similar to how young and single people will be expected to work longer hours because "they don't have to go home" as if that means that they don't need time off as well.
