[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny how people think UMC people with 3+ kids is a status thing but think poor people in struggling communities with 3+ kids are irresponsible.[/quote]

How is that “funny”?

If people have kids and cannot manage it and create chaos for their kids and others, that is irresponsible. It’s cut and dry, really,

By the way, there are people, typically in immigrant or religious communities, who have large families responsibly because they get and stay married, do not use public assistance (if they use public assistance they are no longer responsible), draw from and contribute to a large community of support, and have the self discipline and emotional maturity to live within their means and keep their priorities consistent (apparently for them the main priority is family). I admire families like this personally and consider them high status even if they don’t have a lot of money.

But yes, having kids with multiple partners and living a chaotic life that brings other people around you down instead of up is irresponsible, by definition! [/quote]
