I'm German and affected by this. It begins with being unable to rent an apartment with enough space for a kid and ends with "how to afford a car in this city".

<tone-deaf> But Europe has good public transit everywhere. Surely you can take rail + bus + walk to get anywhere you want to go even with kids.</tone deaf>

Dragging toddler around on public transit is a massive PITA. One is doable but two is hell.

The quality of public transit varies between cities. My parents for example raised two children without having a car.
