[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ill bite - I am 32 and my DH is 30.  Our HHI is 175k and two big reasons we aren't having kids yet - in the immediate we can't afford it (day care is upwards of $1600-1800 a month in DC) and in the long term we can't afford it (our under grad institutions are pushing 60k+ per year NOW) and the other reason is most of our friends aren't even married at this point and the ones that are have not had kids.  If we had a kid we would only be breaking even for the next few years and would be in debt if we had 2 and were paying for daycare.  Husband is a JD working government and I work in the non profit world and have only a BA.[/quote]

This is so sad to me :( I don't think people should have kids if they don't want them. That is clearly a disaster in the making. But if you do want them, I hope you go for it. They turn into people you love - often the most important people in the world to you. How can you (society in general, people in this thread) say they don't enrich one's life?[/quote]
