Chappell Roan sparks a debate: parents vs non-parents

While Chappell Roan is not currently a parent, she has stated that she enjoys spending time with her friends which are parents, the debate her comments sparked is far from over. Jennifer Glass, a Sociology expert, points out that being "satisfied" with parenthood is not the same as being truly happy.

While it is very common for parents to experience a happiness high after childbirth, the demands of raising a child eventually take its toll; specially in the U.S. where there are a lot of bumps in the road, such as the lack of parental leave or gun control.
