It's a trade off.

Do you want your kids to grow up in a nice house, in a nice neighbourhood, with a yard to play in, but they're raised by a combination of TV, schools, and babysitters? Or are you willing to live somewhere shitty so that they can be raised by a parent?

I was the former. I actually grew up on a farm but didn't appreciate it at all until well into adulthood because I was babysat by the TV. I have all sorts of social issues that I'm still trying to fix to this day.

I said "fuck that" and raised my own kids. They're much better adjusted socially but they also have a drive and optimism that I've never had. We also have a much better relationship that my parents and I.

If did that on a single, part time income, by myself, anyone can do it in a functional relationship.

If people were willing to live in multi family, multi gen households, you wouldn’t have to compromise nearly as much. It’s also ridiculous how big people want houses now. I remember when I was a kid, a little three bedroom was considered making it, and a “forever home”, and a four bedroom was considered “rich”, or at least very well off. Now, everyone wants their starter home to have four bedrooms, and possibly even a bonus room in a finished basement or two car garage. It’s fucking insane. Another thing I’ve seen ruin young women that many people don’t take as much about are all these home imprOOvement reality shows over the last 20 years or so.
