It's true. Parenthood is under attack by conservative parties all around the world that want to destroy the safety nets that parents have earned. Parent leave, affordable child care, effective public schools, free school meals.

The article is total BS. Saying that having children today is crazy is not an attack on parenthood. It's just realism. I want people to feel safe to have children, but that's just not the case for the majority of the population.

To be completely fair, family formation generally costs so much that there aren't a lot of families - conventional families at the bottom dependent on social safety nets.

One of the big issues behind this is that many people refuse to form families because they are worried that they do not have enough to provide.
