Regarding your introvert/extrovert thought experiment, what answer would we get if we asked the group in question whether they prefer being in A or B? Which choice is objectively better is (maybe) different than which they themselves would choose. I couldn't agree more -- I've seen this play out so many times -- unfortunately I have more pressing things on my booklist than books about parenting, which is not a hobby I'm taking up anytime soon, so I'll have to shelve that book for now. Looks entertaining. As for your clarification ... I get what you mean. Lack of motivation. The next generation will quite possibly have even less.Bringing up BeBe is similarly countercultural in that it wholeheartedly suggests de-emphasizing the importance of children to the benefit of children and parents alike.
