It's being downvoted because it seems exactly like the kind of advice a non-parent gives to parents before they have to deal with the reality of the costs of children and how modern work is structured.
It's unsympathetic, unhelpful, and doesn't sound like it's based on anything except the author's prejudices about how "things should be".
Raising kids is hard.
As other posters have pointed out it's at least partially wrong, too in the sense that historically non-parents were much more involved than they are now.
