- Social sciences are stating that parenthood doesn't make people happier
- Parents are romanticizing the idea of parenthood (looking at parent hood with rose-tinted glasses)
- Modern life has called for more complexities such as the need to help your children become an all-rounded individual so that they can be as successful as possible (time and money)
- A more globalised world calls for more immigrants and hence more competition for jobs. There is more pressure for parents to raise children that are able to compete with them for work
- The expectations to work and manage the household and take care of children - mothers. The roles of child-rearing aren’t discussed thoroughly, leaving mothers to take care of children. This leaves tension in the family.
- Parents will be happier if they lessen their expectations they place on their children
- Parents shouldn’t be pressured by cultural expectations of how to rear children
- While parenthood is not as easy as it’s thought out to be, it doesn’t mean that parenthood doesn’t come with its own set of happiness
