My guess is that the boredom of domestic life is one very important reason behind the fertility crisis. People need incentives to choose to have children - and definitely choose to have more than two children. Just saying that having children is extremely fun and stimulating doesn't work. Because as you say, many parts of it are not.
Interesting! Well a "herding cats" experience would have been challenging enough to be fun, I think.
When the neighbor kid, who is also a single child, visits my daughter, she is entirely transformed. Even just two work very different than one. She is transformed from the lazy phone addict couch potato to a whirlwind, they chase each other around the garden, with the dogs and all.
Cats resent being herded!
