I get you. The people just aren't ready to hear this. We're way over our carrying capacity. If you refute this, child, open your eyes. Reality is more than numbers.
If I was a working parent with a stay-at-home spouse, I would felt guilty AF for not having more time for family. It would hurt to leave every single day and having to work overtime would make it all worse. I would feel that I'm abandoning my spouse to raise our human spawn alone. I would get to go to work and escape the problems of raising kids and taking care of the home. I get to hang with other adults, maintain friendships, etc.
Okay but my parents never maintained much and it all lasted a very long time. I think the point still stands. Things nowadays require much more maintenance. Of course maintaining them will make them last longer
