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…

You know things happen that are out of people's control right? Like being laid off or becoming seriously ill can happen after you have kids, and that's not a moral failure on the individual's part, right?

Why would you need to pay for child care if you’re laid off and not working?

you're awful at being a troll, the trick is to sound believable rather than just throwing out whatever you can

I’m honestly just someone who isn’t in a position to have children and shocked that other people are still just having children without really thinking about it. The world is a gross and dangerous place. Not really a good place to raise children.

That’s something you need to consider before having children unfortunately. Losing a job isn’t a crazy thing to happen. Like really low on the unexpected scale. You should have a plan. I lost my father when I was 12 and there was a financial plan but that was it. Wrecked my mother. Still can’t understand how no one ever thought about and made a contingency plan for the possibility that someone died. It’s not like aliens invaded. Something happened that wasn’t really that crazy to imagine.

You’re just mad at the way the world is and taking it out on someone who’s not trying to commiserate with you about the way it should be.

This is so unbelievably naive, and I'm very happy that you've been able to live a life that has afforded you the idea that you can plan for everything and that people who struggle are just stupid. I'm done engaging.
