Raising a child certainly costs a lot.

Of course, it being optional doesn’t stop people from hyperventilating about our reduced fertility rate.

People lament the falling fertility rate (esp. among a particular ethnic group), but they never want to do anything about the government policies and living costs and other social factors that are driving this reduced rate.
