[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare is optional if one parent makes a good (enough) salary and has health insurance. The other parent can stay home.

Buying a house is optional. Rent an apartment (we lived in a one-bedroom until our first was one) instead of buying a house. Only have one car. Don't buy all the fancy baby stuff.

If you don't want to do this, don't. Roll the dice and wait until you are older.

But don't complain that you can't afford to have a child. You just don't want to live cheaply or slightly uncomfortably.

So many of us are waiting until we are older and not having any issues at all though. Plus we have a spouse we adore and money to farm out the boring time killers like housecleaning and laundry services.

I had my first at 33 and my last at 43. Many of my close friends and family were similar ages and socio economic status.

If I had rushed to have kids in my 20s I would have ended up divorced and single parenting bc my BF at the time was not a good match for me. Would not have been a good route.[/quote]

Housekeeping is not boring!  I understand if you work all day you don’t want to do housework but I’m at home.  I put music on loudly and don’t stop moving for at least an hour at a time.  It’s cleaning plus exercise.  [/quote]
