I think this really really helps making the decision to have a kid because unless you have a village around you to help raise your kid you’ll have to dedicate not all but most of your free time to your kid at least in the early years then it will probably gets easier (I have a two years old so don’t know yet).
Growing kids without family around is incredibly hard and something I naively didn’t know it would have been harder because of no family nearby to help. Growing kids with family around is a completely different story. You do get a lot more time to care for yourself and be a great parent for your kid. I sometimes feel like not having a village around prevent me from being the parent I’d like to be just because I don’t have the energy given I have so little time to care for myself.
