    Is OAD becoming more common in part because parenting is harder now?

    @mikecrb I think women as a whole are becoming more aware of their ability, and the necessity, to take care of themselves first. “Back in the day” if your husband wanted 2 kids then you had 2 kids, because it was your job to be a mother.

    When did you send your only to preschool?

    @magdalenab At age 3 just for socialization. Any 3 year old can write a sentence if their parents hammer it into them as a skill long enough. Intelligence isn’t measured by what pony tricks your toddler can do. My toddler is very smart in regards to her grasp of language and complex concepts...
