Should You Have Children If You Can't Afford Them? | Loose Women

[@zcallis1]

If you even consider the fact that the government is going to help you or should help you with your kids.. you're so out of touch with reality

[@dianajames4717]

children are like yachts and penthouses. If you cant afford to have them dont get them.

[@Freddie-jt5ip]

But it's OK that parasites refugees land with there big family 🤔 because that's what happened uk white citizens are having a lot less children because all the taxes to house education and feed these refugees

[@Jhihmoac]

Easy answer: _ABSOLUTELY NOT!_ Even if you _CAN_ afford them, can you still handle the sacrifices you need to make? I grew up around spoiled parents whom were supported by their respective parents of means, and these were the _LAST_ types of people that should've had children!

[@zcallis1]

Wow.. it's hard to believe how out of touch with reality some people can be

[@michellebaker6302]

WOOOOOOW poverty is because people aren't cared for by government? Yikes. There's that saying here in America, "The scariest sentence in the world: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

[@keifer7813]

Are you seriously suggesting the government can't be trusted? Then why pay tax? Why not revolt? Lol

[@deonambrose]

Some people really think the tax benefits of having kids is going to be enough to financially support themselves and their kids. It's very dangerous to have this "We'll make it work" mindset with all the things in the world going on.

[@nzingahoney]

No. Children must be planned for. At least non food poverty can be dealt with via therapy that the financially rich can afford. It is not cool to not be able to afford either food or theraoy.

[@eheheh3263]

In most cases people don’t think and are irresponsible, but the cases where a tragedy happened and made you be in poverty and struggle are the exception to the rule…

Birth licenses is a good idea ... maturity and stability is needed to have kids I think .. so much these modern people are lacking

[@backyardgrillmaster2910]

Did she just say that the government not taking care of them is a big oart wau there people are not doing well?😂😂

[@1bluegreen2]

Yes genius... like Finland and Denmark AND Germany. ... it's cultural and the government. But you keep GASLIGHTING Yourself until you get to be 40 and CAN'T have kids

[@zcallis1]

Men literally build the whole infrastructure of the world you live in. Go ahead and look up the meaning of infrastructure so you understand how important men are

[@michellebaker6302]

I think Jane missed the point regarding the thing about it being a "CULTURAL issue." I don't think that meant things like some places you have lots of kids, or some religions you have lots of kids, and so on. I think the cultural issue referred to is people like Stacey actually, who say it's the government's job to care for you, your family, and your kids. "The government" is not some mystical place where money is held, it's literally the money everyone pays. And sorry not sorry, I'm not at all interested in having to pay to support people's kids when they can't afford them. (I'm not talking about people who have a typical number of children and fall on hard times. I'm talking about people who keep popping them out when they are already wholly or mostly dependent on welfare.) You're having money taken from those who behave responsibly then paid for those who behave selfishly and it's just not on. This is the same type of issue I'd have with socialized medicine - the system being weighed down by those who CHOOSE to endanger their own health and then require massively expensive care. Things like smoking, excessive drinking, drug use, eating junk to the point of morbid obesity, and so on.

Some people have disabilities that stop them from working, does that mean they shouldn't want to be a parent and have a family?

[@michellebaker6302]

@@fairydust0040 I am one such a person and I know it's not fair to the child. I WANT a family and to be a parent but being someone with a moral compass means I don't inflict difficulty onto a child or society.

[@fairydust0040]

@@michellebaker6302 I think you can be a great parent on disability. As long as you love and care for the child then that's more than what some parents out there do.

[@rogerjohnson833]

So in essence, they are saying that only the rich and wealthy should have many kids. I had 10 brothers and sisters by the same father, and we did fine.We weren't on welfare neither.

[@michellebaker6302]

You're looking for an insult where there is none. They are not talking about your situation. They are talking about situations where there are children added to families when the family is already on welfare and a drain on society. People who are long-term reliant on welfare, not people who fall on hard times and work to climb out of the hole they're in.

[@rogerjohnson833]

@@michellebaker6302 Let me set the record straight. The rich have been ripping off the multitudes through tax shelters and philanthropy schemes. They are thieves. Moreover, Donald Trump gave hundreds of billions of dollars to corporations, during the pandemic, yet they don't even pay their fair share of federal taxes. It's the rich looking out for the rich. He was the fox guarding the chicken coops. I don't condone those who are on welfare who shouldn't be, but let's not overlook the big thieves. God said that the stock market is being manipulated by the elite through insider trading schemes. Do you know that 90 percent of traders lose money? Google it.

[@rogerjohnson833]

@@michellebaker6302 So are you saying just the rich can have children, because they can afford them? There are many unrich large families that are not on welfare,DUH !
