terrifying stuff
not as terrifying as mae106
but still
close
I have a children, and quite enjoy it. Albeit, it's not for everyone.
My parents had 3 kids whilst being somewhat lower income
Bad idea
ew
3 kids
that's hell
my uncle has 3 too
People should have the income capable of raising children should they choose to do so.
If they don't, they should.
he's lucky that his oldest one is off somewhere for his uni life already
New zealanders are known for having 6-12 kids per couple, the parents struggle til the kids age a bit and then it becomes the responsibility of the kids to pay for 100% of the fathers life
Paying 75% + of wages upwards to parents
What?
Like parent alimony?
essentially
they all as a group cover 100% of the fathers expenses
So he has 30-40 years of cruising
father or parents*
What if they can't pay up?
@crescendo2020 How many do you have
the sheer number of kids accounts for some dropkicks
Just the one.
I'm 36, so it's okay.
I've had the heaviest paternal drive for the last 3-5y
im hoping to find a baby factory that can pump out over 5
Have fun sacrificing your life and money then
You looking to retire, I take it?
I'm perfectly fine making sacrifices.
I grew up dirt poor and have worked for everything I've earned. There's nothing that I haven't seen financially.
struggle builds character and lack of struggle builds complacency
even if i was richie rich i'd act poor around my kids
There's an element to it that is sort of vicarious. Poor kids who work hard and earn wealth normally raise entitled brats.
I think you hinted at it yourself, wanting to provide a world without struggling for your kid
Because their parents want to see the feeling of having cool toys and a car at 16.
I'm aware of it.
The way I look at it is, if she is an entitled asshole, she still had a better childhood than me.
