Ummm... there are some things which are just good for society. Having children is one of them. "Everyone else paying for it" is a reasonable thing, especially in this day and age when people don't want the hassle of having kids.

You're presenting an extremely selfish point of view.



You're the one wanting someone else to pay for your one/two income decision.

That sounds selfish to me.


Ummm... the way the world moves forward is through having children. What's your alternative?

More seriously though, I 100% like the decision to have children.

1. I'm a father of two. I work, and my wife stays home.

2. An alternative would be both of us working, except for my wife stops working for a while when our kids are born.

3. Another alternative would be both of us working, and paying for child care.

Each of these have trade-offs. But whatever way we go, I'm not selfish enough to force everyone to pay for my decision.
