I read all these posts about people wanting to have "babies". Don't these young, financially ill-prepared wannabee parents realize that their infants will not stay that way and will require more expensive basics and amenities as they get older?
And as their children start developing their own personalities and try to become their own persons, how will their emotionally immature parents who weren't ready to have them in the first place deal with that? I think we all know the answer. Just look around at all the dysfunctional families in our society.
We all know--and perhaps you are one yourself--of people who wished they had waited before having children or not had them at all but just didn't think about it at the time, or had kids because they were pressured by family or because all their friends were doing it.
Don't children deserve a decent start in life and parents who are fully aware and committed to their responsibilities before hand?
