In my parents generation in communist Poland, people had 2-3 children families in flats no bigger than 500-750 sqft. When there's a will, there's a way, and people just truy wanted to have children back then. While nowadays, it seems that there's always some excuse in the way.

This. People lived more frugally, nearly never went on vacation, had very small cars.

Now it seems everything needs to be ready before having children: big house, big car, career.
