Funnily enough, this article instinctively sparked this type of reaction in me.

I read it and thought "I'm lucky to be living where I am and my kids are lucky to be growing up where they are".

Weird.
Same here. I felt sorry for all the people there. It seems they're trapped in an impossible situation. The first girl, for instance, seems a type that would be very progressive here and hence laidback, but instead she works like crazy and everybody around does the same.

I don't have children and I don't want to and the cons are obviously a factor for me. But the cons for them are massive. And the whole oppresive lifestyle and social expectations. That's why I'm now surprised that they don't have even fewer births there.
