Once schools closed and my coworkers started working from home due to the pandemic, I observed the opposite. Endless, unbounded time with their children generally made my coworkers less excited about having any more.
People don't want to have to see their children more. And I don't think people want to have to coordinate educating their children on top of everything else they need to do.
It's the unavoidable part of it, I think. If it was a vacation with a clear end date it'd be different.
As long as people don't start blaming millenials and zoomers for not having kids when you see quotes like "60% of renters in West Virginia are at risk of eviction". This is happening because of economics, it isn't being done to economics.
That is not time with children. That is time working remote with colleges remote while yelling at kids to stop making the noise. While also having second job as teacher.
