[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I found people who allegedly very smart and educated simply don't plan and look ahead to a life raising kids[/b]. They plunge in and then are somehow SHOCKED at hard and expensive it is. When my DH started pushing for a family (I had told him I didn't want children) I told him how much daycare would be, he screamed "But that is as much as our mortgage!" Yep, I told him. We compromised on 1 child, and he worked from home while I kept my much more stable job. We had a very modest 3 bedroom home. [/quote] It has become so expensive only in the last few generations, so people aren’t expecting it. They often want to replicate the family that they grew up with. And having kids is kind of a key human experience that a lot of people don’t want to compromise on. [/quote]
