I disagree here. I think that the choice and experience of raising a child is *much* harder than marriage or mortgage challenges and work vs play is not even up there. Aging is also a very difficult situation in some cirucumstances but it's not ever one you chose so I don't think it falls into the same category.
Crucially for me, with both a marriage and a mortgage if it becomes too much you can plan an exit strategy but when you've had a child you're responsible for that child forever, with no outs.
