[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] Dp here, and while I don’t have answer, many of the people getting pregnant in their teens and very early twenties will not have acquired the proper education or career trajectory to ever have truly sufficient resources to raise kids. Many were raised in poverty and broken homes, and it’s all they know. In certain ways they have different ideas of what’s “sufficient” in terms of the resources and infrastructure to raise a child.
