Being a parent is a lot more expensive than it used to be. There's more required and more restrictions. Child protective services is always ready to pounce in and take kids into custody if there's any accusation of abuse or neglect. The government has made being a parent even more of a hassle than it was when I was growing up. Car seats, helmets, etc. It all adds up. It's almost as if the government is trying to discourage people from having kids!
