have you seen how much work these parents put into their children? how much money goes into the education? You couldn’t afford two not even if you wanted to, and I’m not talking about money, but just time and effort. And that’s completely overlooking the fact that these countries have a shit work life balance. You work work work then you work some more so that your child might get some good work. Why would anyone go through that?
