Not sure if they do it deliberately, but there’s like this sorta expectation to sympathize with parents who despite being poor still have children. Didn’t they make a CHOICE though? Do you think they should be solely responsible for making it?

This is bait.
No its not
Yes it is. This isn’t a binary question. Some people choose to have kids they can’t afford, some don’t have access to birth control, some have the finances when they had the kid and then something happened to their career or health, etc.
This is pure bait to get people fighting in the comments.
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?
“Just don’t lose your job”
Damn why didn’t I think of that?
Nah, that’s not what I am saying. IMO, you just dont reproduce until you are 100% sure that even IF you lose your job, you’re going to be fine
In this economy, with record layoffs hitting many different industries, how can anyone be sure what the future holds?
That’s the interresting part, you can’t 😀 and so its even more reason not to condemn yourself and a kid to bearing the load of being on a punishing side of the Matthew Effect. Just saying… IF I were them as they say or whatever
So just no one should have kids at all then?
That’s never a guarantee.
I mean you do realize those child are people right? What are you suggesting anyways, sending them to the orphanage if you lose your job?? lol.
Also there os a ferrari message. I mean if someone goes poor from buying a ferrari it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be helped but they should probably sell the ferrari you know. Like what are you gonna do, sell your children? Do you want/expect a billionare to buy them on the black market buddy, pal, friendo, amigo, pal, buddy?
Also why do add a smiley face most of the time, come on buddy, pal, amigo, friendo, you’re not telling me you had absolutely no idea how people would react? And why would you add a smiley face to messages answering to angry people… or something like that idk. If you were not getting satisfaction out of it?
Yeah, like I said, excluding rape and lack of education its your choice to make a baby so if you believe in personal responsibility then you should (I think) apply this same princible to that choice and its consequences, but for some reason people treat it like its exwmpt from that rule
Because we are living animals and the purpose of life/reason life exists is due to reproduction. Is it always a wise or well thought out decision? Absolutely not. Is it a “hobby”? No, that is oversimplifying it to the point of nonsense.
fair enough
