[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how is that any different from this story: "low wage" people for DC got pregnant with twins. Now they are facing a very difficult time. If one drops out of the workforce they lose 50% of their already "low" income wages. If one continues to work they will only net 10% of that salary after daycare expenses. Should I or shouldn't I give them a gift?

Notice how I don't mention whether they are married or if they were trying or if the twins were natural or not. But I'm guessing you would say "Of course I'll buy them stuff" based on my story. So how is yours any different?

What if you found out that they were actively trying despite the fact that they knew they couldn't afford one kid? They aren't married? What if I told you their twins were a result of using clomid? (In other words they shot themselves in the foot)

Would you be judgmental or give them less? Do you need to rethink the way you decide who is worthy of your generosity?[/quote]

Not the OP, but I would absolutely NOT say "of course I'll buy THEM stuff" based only on your story. Context is extremely important.[/quote]
