i qualified my statement...when you are actually having kids things like healthcare, childcare options, resources, social support all come into the picture in a highly personal way based upon the options/choices actually available to you (mumbai). these all balance out in different ways depending on on location/resources. example: in the u.s. local social/family support (being able to leave a child with her cousins/aunt for an evening for instance) of raising children tip higher in my opinion thanks to our shitty healthcare/childcare system.
