Well because to young people kids are a burden. I think that's the easiest way to put it. You're not really established in your careers, stability isn't something you can manufacture for yourself yet, you don't have that much disposable income all things considered, a lot of folks' relationships haven't matured into something stable enough to effectively parent, and you still have a persistent drive to do stuff and build or grow your adult friendships.

My friends who are parents are very much trapped at home, it's actually great for me because if I'm bored I know they're not doing anything are are starving for social contact with another adult. It's hard for parents to not inadvertently isolate themselves.
