[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than 'why do young people have have kids they can't afford', I don't understand how OP doesn't understand it.[/quote] OP, here. I don't understand it because it doesn't make any sense to bring kids into your life that you don't have the time or resources to raise properly. Even if you are putting the burden on the grandparents as free babysitters or rent free living, it's still irresponsible. It hurts people, including and especially the kids. [/quote] Because poor people and poor families value children, too. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a wise choice and coming from a more privileged position I can’t understand being in those shoes but it’s very common for people to have children they can’t afford. There are entire countries struggling with poverty on a societal level that have high birth rates. There is a biological desire to reproduce and it is a cultural norm in most societies to have children.[/quote]
