[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That may be but the answer to financial instability isn’t to have more kids. I’m the single mom of one and NFW could I have handled two or more.[/quote]

Be that as it may, I’m talking about what would be better for the children.[/quote]

Why is it better for kids to have an even more financially stressed parent?[/quote]

It’s better for the children to have someone to share the burden and not have a single mom who is solely dependent on them both in her old age and often as lines tend to get blurred even when they are young.[/quote]

Both my brother and my dad died young so now it's just me taking care of my mom in her old age (and it's a lot as she has dementia). So, best laid plans can certainly go awry. For OP to have only one child because that's what she can handle versus having two kids with a husband doesn't mean things won't be the same in 40 years.[/quote]

Of course they can, but that doesn’t mean that you should deliberately set out to strive for a scenario that is easier for you but harder on your kid.[/quote]

I can’t believe how hard you are perseverating on this and how selfish and blind you are to reality. Conditions that are hard on the mother of young children, such as having more children than she can stably support or take care of, are ALSO hard on the child/children. NO ONE should have more children than they can reliably care for.[/quote]
