Sometimes, they find the right place but without en suite laundry (this matters with a newborn) or up two flights of stairs
This is the kind of thing my parents would have told me to just deal with. They just dealt with it.
I don’t want kids, but there is something for making do without needing it to be perfect.

Some people even do without a nanny! Could you imagine?
-
Sure, but your parents were also on the tail end of single income detached housing being a thing.
Double income MDU barely works anymore. Concessions are made to save time or money.

We had 4 boys sleeping in one room and the laundry was in the basement.
My wife grew up with two girls sharing a room until her dad actually build a drywall partition so they’d stop fighting.
I know there are too many places without laundry and only one bedroom and that’s a problem, but complaining you can’t find an en suite laundry feels low on the priority list.

Still cheaper than in the U$A

$600 for a vasectomy in a private clinic booked and performed within a week of booking. 15 minute operation with no needles and no scalpel.
-
Do they just kick you in the balls then, repeatedly?
-
No they use a numbing spray then punch a small hole then pull the vas deferens out the small hole and do the procedure. It heals up to a pin hole sized mark that can barely be seen.
I was in to work that night on desk duty(with ice packs) for a few weeks rather than my normal heavy lifting which I went back to soon after.

$600.00 for it is pretty expensive for it in Canada. It's free in normal clinics

And so, I have no kids.

I'm in the USA. The bill for birth and a month in the NICU 15 years ago was nearly a million dollars.
They wrote it off.
