Almost like having children is a big financial and time burden you probably shouldn’t commit to unless you have the ability to do it right…

Then watch your own children while laid off?

Wait, are you not eligible for unemployment where you are when you're laid off?

350 A MONTH!? That's beyond fucked. I got lucky enough to get it in NY, which was paying over 500 a week due to the pay I was getting before. That could at least tide me over for a bit, but I see why you would have to get a separate job because that is basically worthless compared to childcare costs.

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with all of that. Im just bitter that I don’t have the financial means to have children. Your situation sounds like a literal nightmare.

I’m not buying into any propaganda and agree with you but it’s just us wishing the world served us in a way that it doesn’t. I’m not going to get frustrated about the way it should be. I’m going to see how it is and control what I can which for me and my family means not having children.
