They came up with those intelligence classifications back in the 1920s and SCOTUS allowed sterilization of those deemed 'imbecile' or worse. People should be careful what they wish for.
You share the duties with your gf/wife. She (or he) could also work a part-time job that is flexible enough so that she and he don't have to worry too much about day-care or kids at mom's house. It's not a perfect situation, but it's completely doable (plenty of people do do it), and it incentivizes self-improvement by goal-setting.
LOL people acting like working 60 hrs/week for 12.00 isn't compatible with living a decent life. I did this after high school as I was furthering my education. Sure, you've to make compromises and you're fine with that, so long as you don't have an en lement mentality and understand that the rewards & privileges that you don't have are YOURS if you better yourself by making smart/commonsensical decisions & working hard.
In a two parent household yes.
Yup. And unfortunately if you can't make the hours work so that enough time can be spent with the kid, then you've made a dumb decision to have a kid at least in the short term.
Why do you enable irresponsible people, rather than hold them accountable for their problems?
Are you one of them?
You forgot to credit Trump for that quote.
So the punishment for a "dumb" decision, in your opinion (which I assume also means getting divorced from the father of your children after an abusive marriage) is poverty.
Seems harsh.
You guys have a very limited view of how people become single parents.
I have a friend in that exact situation, having to work 60 hour weeks while raising two kids alone after his wife was in the wrong place at the wrong time and caught a bullet to the head.
I have stated there are exception in post 25.
My problem is those having children when cannot afford to in the first place. You will always find someone who was OK financially, then something unforeseen happened. That's what we have safety nets for. Not for starting families on.
That's an exception. Not what we normally see. Again, my problem is people starting families that cannot afford to.
Goes to show that life insurance would be worth purchasing for a young couple.
But let's make abortion practically impossible for the greatest number of women possible. That will help.
Still finding a way to blame the victim. Gotta admire the effort.
No, I don't blame the victims. Just the perpetrators.
Shoulda had more insurance.
Min wage is not a safety net
Why hold the children responsible?
It isnt compatible with having a life. It becomes a life.
Although I can agree with the foundational outlook, there are more disconnects between that and eventual success now.
What?
Where did I say that? I don't know how you got there.
If divorce happens due to abuse, and the woman takes full-custody of the child, and gets child support, then she & child can live & provide off of a wage of $11-12 hr on 40 hrs a week. It wouldn't be the greatest of living standards, but I wouldn't call it poverty. Unless, you're living in New York City, San Fran , LA etc. where the cost of living is ridiculous. In which case, move & settle to a more wallet-friendly part of the country. Again, not ideal. But that's what happens when you knowingly & naively produce a child with an alcoholic or wife-beater.
Sort of. It becomes your life, for part of your life. and I worked 70-80 hrs/week sometimes. I worked 136 straight days at 10-12 hrs/day. But it's not permanent unless you want it to be. Now, my work is not my life.
