    Financial demands on parents have increased, but so have non-financial demands.

    Unless you have a lot of support from extended family (which also means that you live near them), I really don’t see how parents do it.

      Lost my wife in September. Girls aged 6 and 3. I’m already a hollowed out husk of a human, without support from grandparents that live in the same city I don’t know how I’d ever get by. I am a parent and I don’t see how parents do it. Sorry to dump but this resonated with me.
