that's brutal and this is just one kid. Everyday I wake up I'm happy to not have a child leaching that kind of money away from me.

Every day I give thanks as well, no kids, no child support, no daycare costs, no changing my work hours to pick up little squirt, no going to soccer games reading bed time stories.

Raising kids depends on where you live and how you raise them price wise.

I would never expect the brutal honesty of a parent telling me to never have kids. Most children are accident children that the parents just roll with especially in my race where 70%+ of kids are born outside marriage.

sure these parents love their kids but if they were so great why wouldn't they plan to have them and make their lives better? Why does it typically turn into a make lemonade out of lemons style accident?

Is it that hard to believe a child would cost on average $13,000 a year? Doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me shyt I probably cost my parents more than that.

 

[Pool_Shark]

money would go to dumb shyt anyways.

Life is about more than money

 

[Ashley Banks]

I'll just wait until I can afford them. I'm sure they will be worth it.
