Ah! I so so so enjoyed this read! Found the parent happiness bonus so interesting - especially in places like Norway.

Goes to show the village is that important hey!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and thorough exploration. I’m a new subscriber to you and looking forward to future posts too xxx

I'm totally PRO women choosing not to have kids if they don't want to. Mankind isn't going to fall apart and die off if less children are born, because the world is overpopulated anyway lol.

More HONEST stories like yours should be written. I think most parents are ashamed to admit its not everything they wanted it to be.
