116 Karma? This is a very successful post. Perhaps parenting advice is undersupplied in EA? Or there is a disconnect between how much people want kids and how much it feels acceptable to talk about it.
Note: I want to have children.
This suggests to me that if there were more effective ways to maintain ones job and have children etc, then childraising advice could be a pretty effective cause. 5% more output from the median EA parents for the time when their kids are young would be a huge win.
(As an aside, I’m currently reading Caplan’s “selfish reasons to have kids”, which I would recommend)
