Author does not say his life is difficult because of kids.
Author says working in office has too high alternative cost because of kids. But it could have been any reason: that time spent flexibly could have gone towards any goal.
Using kids tuition is just a flex. Once you can afford to insist on working remote (assuming you want to), you can earn more money because you get 5-15 hours back every week from not commuting and lunch breaking every day.
- Zetice 4y agoRight, but proximate cause vs. ultimate cause is in play here. Without kids, would these problems exist? Maybe, but I’m arguing we should discuss the possibility that choosing to have kids are the ultimate cause of OPs issues.
- sshine 4y ago> we should discuss the possibility that choosing to have kids are the ultimate cause of OPs issues That doesn’t make sense. Considering OP’s efforts, having kids is presumably an objective in this person’s life. If he wasn’t breathing, he wouldn’t have these problems, so why not discuss the possibility that the ultimate cause of OP’s problems is that he’s breathing?
