Poor people deserve to have sex just as much as rich people. I didn’t want to be that blunt but I’ll say it.


We’re not living in 1900.

Get some bc. There are forms that are 99.9% effective.

And before you start, I am as pro choice and pro sex Ed as they come. Free Iuds or Depp shots for all.

Just don’t cry to me about how poor you are when it comes time to pay for daycare or college. I can’t stand when people do that.

It’s not like it’s some unknown quantity. We all know how much these things cost. A responsible person would wait until they know they can afford it (daycare) and save from day 1 or even before (for college).


Oh, so you think just because someone knows how much something costs ahead of time they’ll be able to save enough money for it?!? Are you high?


Then don’t have kids. Or don’t have more than one.

More than that though, just stop whining about it. Plan ahead.


I think college is way too expensive right now. I have felt that way for many years and I don’t see my feelings changing.

If you are on any type of government assistance you should not be having any kids period

If you aren't you need to realize how much time and money they are and have a plan for how to handle both of those issues and then you can have kids

Instead of "wait until you can afford kids" the advice should be a more nuanced "wait until you can provide a child with a stable home."

Which is fine, but own that you are a conservative republican.


Or essentially a eugenicist opposed to poor people having families.

NP. I agree with the first poster. If you can't afford food, shelter, clothing and love for your children, you shouldn't be having them.


Disagree.

The average age of a woman having her first baby is 26. Twenty-six year olds, in general, don’t make jack. Their incomes will only climb.


LOL. The average avg used to be about 17, and the fact that women are most fertile at those ages hasn’t changed. Not saying I would have a kid at 17. I guess you think that people who make under $220k shouldn’t have kids. Again, my definition of affording kids differs from yours.


I bet the average age in DC is more like 35.

If people only had kids when they were ready, financially or otherwise, to have kids, there would be no kids.


Wow, what a classic "the entirety of DC is my upper NW bubble" comment. See you at Millie's, PP!

At a certain point, the Government needs to step in and help. It's all fine and good to tell people to 'wait until you can afford kids,' but do you really want to end up like Japan in 20 years? Plummeting birth rate, soaring percentage of elderly? You can choose that route, but you better be OK with massive numbers of immigrants to provide labor.
