America treats parents pretty crappy. A two income household is almost an absolute necessity, in order to get healthcare for your kids you are at the mercy of an employer for years, and childcare before Kindergarten is incredibly expensive.
Sounds like the OP’s cousin is very in tune with reality.
Are you familiar with the Soviet Union? Their policy of assimilation was a combination of compulsory government education combined with mass propaganda and economic controls that split up families/communities. In Communist China, Mao turned children against their parents in the cultural revolution.
Our government only forces us to work together, live in the same neighborhoods, and send our kids to the same schools. While the media and the government spends every day trying to marginalize and punish anyone who opposes.
Their goal is complete social and economic integration/assimilation.
Sorry. Too crazy.

For some guys, their personality or looks is built in birth control. Which is it for you?
As far as looks, it goes as follows. I was younger I was told I wasn't "tall enough" (I'm 5'5"). I've been told frequently that I look young for my age. It's rare that any woman ever described me as "ugly". Most women never say that about it.
Personality, I'm an intellectual type. I like to talk about intellectual stuff. I've been sort of a bookish, nerdy type (Although I have done many athletic things in my life). I don't always know what a woman wants to hear. I don't play games though.
I've been told a few times that I wasn't someone's type. Alot of women I've dealt with weren't all that upfront about what they didn't like about me. I literally had to get one woman to tell me upfront what it was. I've had a few times where I set up dates with some women, and then they just flaked on me.
I was ambivalent about having kids, and waited too long. I tried a round of IVF which didn't take, and I wasn't super disappointed. Husband died 5 years later, so I think it was all for the best.
I remarried and he has 4 kids, so he did his part.
My sister never had kids either, and we are both upper middle class. We contribute to society by supporting the economy via shopping.
For a very long time I didn't want to have kids. It was mostly for one reason: I didn't want the responsibility that came with having kids. I still don't think I could handle the responsibility of being a parent. I'm in my mid 30s and I'm still not ready. I'm not really ready to be someone's husband. This is the thing. I live a somewhat lonely life. Valentines Day is a very lonely day for me. On the other hand, it's alot of responsibility being a parent and a spouse. Alot of things you give up.
This is a rather convoluted way of saying that we have laws against discrimination.
I'm glad we have laws against discrimination. It makes my life easier. And no one has given me a good reason to be opposed to things like the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

It’s ok to not have kids if you don’t want to and wise not to marry if you don’t feel like your ready. Don’t let anyone push you or let yourself be pushed, they obviously were ready, but that doesn’t mean you are and you don’t want to marry because you have to, but because you found someone that you want to.
