Most people on Earth don't live in European cities. I grew up in the suburbs I couldn't go anywhere myself. Public transportation just isn't a thing around me. Not to mention all the stuff that has to be done around the house.

As for parenthood its not just about bringing your kids places. They want to play, they need to eat, they need diaper changes. Kids are a ton of work I love every minute of it, but man is it difficult.

Yeah, I think it's tough for a lot of people without kids to understand what weekends are like for the first few years. If you don't completely hate your job you'll probably at least somewhat look forward to Mondays, when you can get back to work for a rest. Doesn't last forever though; I'd say I'm past that phase now with the kids 8 and 6.
