idk how to put this nicely at all but i can't help feeling that having a baby feels more and more like a fucking status symbol
people who really want them make it work, they say, and there is no way in hell i would send a child to private school or anything like that - yet even the bare economic reality of it is just conceptually or financially impossible to me without debt
people are like why don't you uproot your entire lives and go live in bumfuck iowa if you really want them you fucking yuppies
and it's like yeah cool let's become socially isolated and cut off from everything we know bc there's no fucking rent control or childcare or anything

「子供を生むことがますますステータスの証のようになっているように思えてならない
本当に子供が欲しいならなんだかんだうまく行くものだと他の人は言う
しかし育児に必要な最低限の費用だけでも私には借金なしには払えない
本当に子供がほしいならアイオワ州みたいなド田舎に移住すればいいじゃないか、とも言われる
ああそれはいい考えだ、今までの人生を何もかも捨てて保育施設も何もないところで社会的に孤立しよう！」
アメリカも大変やね
