Victoria Lamson and her husband decided against having a third child due to financial and logistical challenges associated with raising children in San Francisco, the most expensive city in the US. They intentionally spaced their two children five years apart and incurred significant private school tuition costs. Career changes and a struggling public school system further complicate their situation. This reflects a broader trend among millennials who often choose to have fewer children, ultimately impacting the overall birth rate in the country.
The couple intentionally put five years in between having children as entertaining the idea of a third child became challenging financially and logistically.
Private school costs in San Francisco average $26,000 per child annually, which forces parents to consider the impact on family size.
Millennials, who often limit themselves to two children or remain child-free, are blamed for America's shrinking birth rate, reflecting broader economic and cultural shifts.
Lamson’s decision to have only two children is influenced by a struggling public school system and the challenges of their career changes amidst rising living costs.
