Prepare for a generation of desperate people when they figure out that they actually wanted to have kids but it's too late.
- moorhosj 7y agoAre you suggesting their "fur babies" won't take care of them when they are old and sick?
- rdm_blackhole 7y agoAre you suggesting that people with kids will have their kids taking of them when they are old? If that's true, I have a bridge to sell you...
- moorhosj 7y agoThis is how it traditionally works. My mom and my wife’s mom would also agree.
- baroffoos 7y agoThats what the government/retirement savings are for.
- moorhosj 7y agoSure, except that’s not always how reality works. My mom and my mother-in-law were both stay at home mothers who got divorced. They have few employment options in the private sector after 20 years of raising children. Turns out the market doesn’t pay much for those skills. Now we have to help support them.
- baroffoos 7y agoIf they never had children they could have saved enough to be set for the rest of their life.
