Most people I talk to in India have 1 child. Some have 2. When I tell them I have three, their first reaction is total surprise followed by "well, accidents happen". The main reason for one? Raising kids is just really hard, especially for nuclear families in cities.
我在 India 接触到的大多数人都只有 1 个孩子，也有些人有 2 个。当我告诉他们我有三个时，他们的第一反应是完全吃惊，接着就会说一句“唉，意外总会发生”。只生一个的主要原因是什么？养孩子实在太难了，尤其是对城市里的 nuclear families（核心家庭）来说。
