Your sister is lucky indeed and it does depend on the personality. And taking care of the baby can be tedious, lit is groundhog day over and over again with some variations :)
We lived far away from my or my husband's folks or any relatives, so I stayed at home, and, frankly, I enjoyed every minute of it - well, almost every minute :))) We managed to travel some, make friends, went for walks and whatnot.
There are many challenges to being a parent to even one child in Russia. But I am glad I made a choice of having a child. I totally understand why some people opt out of having a child and become child-free, it is their choice. What I don't like or understand is those who call themselves child-free but instead hate children and parents.
And Russia on the whole is not a child-friendly country, or parent-friendly, for that matter, even when I think of 3-year maternity leave, half of it paid :)
It seems like there are far more disturbed people in the world, I agree. And both the Internet and TV contribute to that.
