    Having kids is magical and cool, but of you cant afford to gove that kid a good, or hell, an even passable life.. why have them?

    A lot of people dont want to bring a child, or foster a child if they know they wont be able to take care of them.

    A former friend of mine qanted desperately to have a child. She was lucky to have her dad finance a home for her. But now, her home is a mess. There's water damage from the sheer amount of piss on the floor. Her husband works constantly and has almost no time to help with the kid or the house. She also has to work, which leaves the kid in the care of literally whoever can stomach being in that home for longer than a few hours due to the smell.

    And now she's having another one. We've already contacted CPS. I have no doubt in my mind that she and her husband absolitely love and adore their child. But they simply couldnt not handle raising a kid with all the other pressures forced down on them by the world we live in. This is the unfortinate reality for a pot of young people. We're all too mentally ill and being wrung out by capitalism, that raising a family is considered ridiculous at best, anf actively sabotahing both your life, anf the life of your kid at worst.
