Completely and utterly broke.
Guess who's holding the bag so to speak?
You may question the life choices of some of us to wait until we're self sufficient and able to have children without the stress of finances complicating things further, but the really nasty reality of some situations is that you're either mad or an idiot to do so otherwise. But while their parents are off getting their crap together, the kids aren't going to want for anything and its better than shovelling cash into the hands of people that need to manage it and their own lives better.
I've seen the results of rock bottom poverty on kids and its truly hideous beyond anyone in the developed world with its social safety nets can imagine. You might see it on TV and read about it, but the actual reality is so confronting it'll change your perspective on a whole lot of things. |
Right. I think it should have gone without saying that fucking morons should not reproduce.
Haha, you got schmucked footing the bill for somebody else's spawn. Who were you deigning to again?
