Like it or not, babies are a huge expense (my mom won't like it if I use the words pain in the ass) in today's climate. I have two kids, honestly, both unplanned, but luckily, we have been able to care for them and give them everything they need and mostly want. I have been listening to Dave Ramsey who does financial advice recently and a lot of couples are struggling financially yet talk about being pregnant and/or working on kid number four or more like it's part of their basic rights.
Fuck all that nonsense. Have as many kids as you can afford, specially if you are calling a financial advice show on the best way to handle your life with over $400k in debt, wife had cancer recently, but she is also pregnant with kid #4. I understand he is living that life and can't stand far enough back to see the hilarity of his own actions basically digging his hole deeper as he speaks. I forgive the chump, he is blind to his own stupidity. My problem is in the comments section where people with common sense see that adding the fourth kid didn't happen overnight, he had to have impregnated her as she went into remission from her cancer, that just doesn't sound like the best time for a woman's body to be stressed by producing another kid. Why do people feel a need to come to his defense when it comes to having more kids? Kids are not that precious before they exist, they are just another spot in life that is going to cost x number of dollars. Once they are born, okay, they are a human and we can form a bond with them and they start to matter. Saying a couple has a right to have as many kids as they want can border on child abuse if the couple can't afford to feed them.
At what point do we stop saying all kids are a blessing and start saying that kid is a menace to society? Not all children are snowflakes that exist to make their parents life fuller, some kids are born into shitty circumstances and survive by sheer persistence only to hurt others or worse. Do we still call criminals locked up from society God's little miracles or are we occasionally wrong on that one? I hate the notion that all kids are special when it is just a matter of percentages that so many kids in any given population will turn out as assholes, no matter the amount of resources provided to said children.
I have always been pro abortion and I even like the idea of putting birth control in the water, we shouldn't be reproducing willy nilly. Please, nobody needs to complain, most of you complaining drink water out of plastic bottles because this is 'Murica and you can afford it. If you can't afford water from the store, well, that is a sign you can't afford kids either. Hey, the alternative is we get a real version of Idiocracy with the dumb dums reproducing like crazy and the smart people wasting away while they decide the best time to have one kid.
