I had this argument with my friend. Do I think the poor should be penalised for having children? Absolutely not.
Does being wealthy mean you’re more capable of being good parents than those in a financially unstable position? Again no.
What I will say however, there are people who keep on having children knowing damn well they can’t afford them and they expect everyone else to pick up the tab. This isn’t some republican attack on people on welfare. It’s common sense and for some reason, it’s becoming more acceptable.
I know I won’t have children until I find someone who I’m not only compatible with but is also financially stable like me. It’s not about being wealthy, it’s about being smart.
