[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a job without benefits- don’t have a lot of kids. It’s not that hard. My salary is X. I’d like to have more kids- but I can’t. If you are truly unable to attend to your sick children (neglect) you need to re-evaluate your ability to parent. And yes- this goes for the CVS cashier and the aspiring law parenter mom/dad. [/quote] You assume everyone has an upward trajectory. Sometimes professionals hit a bad patch and lose positions with nice benefits. There’s been a huge shift away from traditional hours and compensation. As a result, you might have 2-3 kids you can afford and then suddenly you can’t afford them anymore. I know 5 different people laid off in the Great Recession that still haven’t completely rebounded. They all have kids about the same age as my youngest so things are going to be a bit easier in the near future. But they spent the ES and MS years really hurting financially due to not having paid sick leave.[/quote]
