Singaporean POV. Life is stressful and expensive here. Property prices are insane.
Our Education system is also very competitive.
Kids as young as 3 years old are sent for language enrichment lessons and music lessons. Child suicide rates are a closely guarded Govt secret.
After the kid struggles through the super competitive education system, good jobs are hard to come by because Singapore employers prefer cheap labour from neighbouring countries Malaysia and India.
All in all- you are bringing a kid into the world just to see the kid suffer. Why would u want to do that???
