I really appreciated your assessment of the cultural economics of parenting, especially the way you examine how we approach it socially, emotionally, and financially, from both a parent and labor perspective. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
Excellent assessment. I also wonder whether, given that parents are having somewhat fewer children, if the cost of higher quality childcare is part of the demand for higher quality inputs into child raising, of fewer kids.

Yes, probably part of the story. A lot easier to spend on a fancy daycare if you’re only planning on having one kid.
