A lot of places have bizarre over-parenting practices that add social pressures on anyone who has children. I would have been much more inclined to have children in a place that either doesn't freak out about free range children like when I grew up or has a set public system over one that makes you feel guilty for not being bio enough, not choosing the right private schools, not getting private tutors, etc, etc.

It is interesting to watch parents burn out and get divorced so their children can have a better life than the one social pressures dictate.
