I am not going to argue over the definition of the word “luxury” but on an individual level (not populational!!!) how does it make sense to still choose to have a child (excluding accidents, rape and lack of education!!!) in THIS frigging economy lmao.

fair enough

It doesnt really conclusively tell us that I have an agenda and I don’t

Ok ok, youve turned the wrong alley, buddy. Im not judging the poor or the rich or anyone or having🤐🤐 any thoughts or/and opinions about how society should and shouldnt be. Like in the other replies I am just asking why is it that in case of wanting children (a luxary) the judgement is different than in case of wanting a nice car (also luxary, albeit, less expensive 🙂)

Well… My point kinda is. Should you? 🙂 Like at all? (if you can’t afford it)?

Thats your assumption. I am just not interested enough in other people’s shit, thats all. Why would I be? 🙂 Is it a bad thing? I mind my own business and do my own thoughts

Losing a job counts as a consequence they should’ve accounted for. Having health issues at some point in your life is a statistical inevitability (this one is just a simple fact). Soooo… What is their excuse? Somehow society has decided that having an expensive hobby (raising a child) is far more deserving of sympathy than having other expensive hobbies 🙂. So what do you think of that? Why have we decided that?

Well, that’s not nice of you to call me that

Ima be fine without 2 of my jobs for at least a couple of months and even I feel insecure at times and they are walking the fence where there’s lava of consequences from boths sides of it. Brrr, scary. I’d much rather make the platform as wide as I can before even starting walking

yes, I do 🙂

Some people would argue that If they haven’t considered the change of circumstances then that’s still on them. I guess they should have considered the possibility of losing their job and planned for a nice cushy buffer in advance

A genuine one tho. What deives people who KNOW they are going to go broke and struggle IF they make a child? What’s a “biological imperative”? Are you suggesting we are animals who cannot choose?

No its not

Not nice bro

Not sure if they do it deliberately, but there’s like this sorta expectation to sympathize with parents who despite making what seems to be like either a tidbit or far too tittle for them to comfortably support their kids IRL in my circle of communication

nah, not really, at least I don’t think so

Tried that, people can see you’re bluffing

Nah, somwtimes life throws you into situations where you have to engage or/and not engaging in and of itself will signify a defeat
