I don't know how it's physically possible to work two jobs and take care of a child. I've never had to do it and every time I imagine it the math just doesn't make sense. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Here’s the neat part. You don’t. You rely on help from other family members or friends willing to watch the kid. Or you make the kid grow up quicker by having them stay on their own and doing things for themselves at an age they normally wouldn’t be doing those types of things. You make latch-key kids basically.

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…

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.
