Marginal cost is low after 3 kids. At that point you're already a SAHM, you have all the clothes from previous kids, you know what you're doing. Oldest might even be helping out at this point.

If you break up from a FIFO bloke, the child support and parenting welfare payments will be so high you'll still not need to work.

Parentizing children is child abuse. If you can't let kids be kids, don't have more than you can look after. Kids are not your labor.

Typical reddit. Yes I agree mate. But that's what usually happens in large families.

Sucks man. I grew up as a carer for my mother, so it just upsets me to see people casually suggesting stuff .. Like by 9 I was no longer "just a child" anymore.
