There are breeds of dog that are larger than wolves and were bred specifically for the purpose of protecting herds of livestock from wolves and other such large predators. They're not necessarily cheap to own though, and a fair number

Daycare, the act of handing your infants and toddlers over to minimum wage workers who do not care about your children on an individual basis and who are also supposed to be taking care of several other children, is not a great idea, or eve

Most people don't have enough in savings to last more than half of a year without a job. I'd call that "quickly". You could try to stop corporations from preferentially hiring people who have recent relevant experience,

Not all costs are monetary. Do you need a source for that?

If you want both parents to be independent, then (for the vast majority of people who are not very wealthy) of course both need to be employed or able to quickly become employed. Do you need a source for that? Both of those take time, and t

That doesn't mean that it's a good idea to have it.

by HBKXNCUO 7y ago
What is wrong with having other options is that there is a cost associated with maintaining those other options, and the children will be paying it one way or another. Raising children well is enormously time consuming and difficult. Parent
