[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Honestly if a child has no kids the parents should of never had them.[/quote]

Why?

And do you apply this unilaterally across genders, or do you only curse women who didn't/couldn't have children?[/quote]

All sexes plus folks with one kid. The minimum is two and a real family starts at three kids. I know so many families with three kids and only one worker out. Risky having one. [/quote]

By "worked out" you mean lived, right? You're a time traveler from the 1800s and you think people should have 3+ kids to ensure that at least one of them survives, correct? Or because there is just so much work on the farm and you need the kids to help you with it now that you're hitting the ripe old age of 33 and just can't get around like you used to.

If you really believe this, I highly recommend you start advocating for extensive social welfare because having 3+ kids is a financially idiotic choice in this country unless you are incredibly wealthy. We wanted two and decided to stop at one because we worried about affording both a bigger home and college while also saving for our own retirement. It felt risky to have a second. In a way, I guess we stuck, with one because we felt like life was more likely to "work out" for her if we could invest all our resources in just one kid instead of distributing them over more kids.[/quote]
