My dads found the whole thing very amusing.RaceBannon said:
Sounds like his daddflea said:If my second kid was my first, there would have been only one.
He escaped out the front window a couple times by kicking out the screen, he drew a 4 foot tall purple W on the wall of his room while I was watching a Husky game one Saturday, and he came running in the house one time with about 15 yellow jackets in his pants and shirt and proceeded to spread them all around the house.
Good kid, but hell on wheels. -
Your wife or husband has to make enough to justify child care costs otherwise one should stay home and raise the little rug rats. Staying home can be a considerable sacrifice in today's world where our value is in our work in a lot of cases
Only kid equation that matters.
Like I said mine were pre grown so they were 10 and 12. I was self employed at the time and remained so for the duration. I'd be in the field when they were in school and at the home office when they got home from school. My wife worked
Race logic FTW.

Anytime you have a chance to pass on your toxic masculinity you have to do it.
You must be rich.
I agree that having kids is great and it's really the only thing of significance I've ever done in my life. It's also the most basic human task. Reproduce - or some retarded fucker will and the gene pool will get shallower. We don't have a shortage of people but we do have a shortage of good people.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. One kid is out the door already and the other isn't far behind. Then I'm going to come over to their place and eat all their fucking food and drink their liquor.
Like I said, they're young, I'm sure it will get more expensive as they grow up. But also, we plan on not spoiling the hell out of them. Thankfully I have a wife whose a bit of a minimalist so she's on bored with not giving them everything they want.
I think a big part of the "kids are so expensive" thing is plenty of moms like to spend a shitload of money on them. Well that and child support is a bitch. Thankfully I am in neither of those situations.
It's basically another mortgage. After school care too.
The have kids young vs have kids old thing can go two ways. Have kids young, you miss more of your 20s, they may suck your money dry when you don't have much, but you hit freedom from them with more of your life left and aren't responsible for them when you're presumably earning more during the back half of your career.
Have them old, you get your party 20s but also need to save a decent amount to get the compound interest benefit, then when you're at peak earnings you're also at peak kid expenses.
#firstworldproblems
FWIW I went the have kid mid-20s, stop at 1 (snip!), wife work from home route. College is looming which looks ugly. But then I'm free and clear and hopefully not dead.
We could be pretty ballin if she worked full time since she makes more per hour than I do. But this way she gets to get out some, I still get to be the breadwinner and we still live comfortably enough. Our kids won't ever have the most or nicest stuff but they're going to have a much better life than most kids just by virtue of being with a parent far more often than not.
Our life isn't for everybody but it works pretty damn well for us. -

This thread has become really gay, so I will now participate in it.
I have a stay-at-home wife raising our kid, and there will be 1-2 more in the future.

That was the exact way I grew up. Then as the youngest once I got to school my mom went back to work. I had a great childhood. Never had nice shit but had parents that care.HillsboroDuck said:

But without the drive for having kids that every human has, I decided as an adult I’m going to have the nice shit I didn’t have as a kid.
I had a great childhood, but my adulthood is way fucking better so far. -
I was under the impression that in Obama's America white people aren't allowed to have children

You’d be surprised how many old white people encourage me to have more white babies because they don’t think there are enough of them anymore.Pitchfork51 said:I was under the impression that in Obama's America white people aren't allowed to have children

No more kids unless both the parents and the child can enjoy the fruits of slow strategy life.whlinder said:

Keeping kids locked in the basement is the only way I’d ever see “haven’t been particularly expensive”.
How many kids do you have locked in your basement?
Pray you only have boys. Girls are ridiculously expensive. -
My mom was a stay at home mom. When my parents bought a house she was working but the bank would not even consider the income she brought in. They knew when kids came women would stay at home.
My wife stayed at home as well. That's how I wanted it. I didn't want someone else raising my kids. Screw the village, too many idiots.

Rents, licensing, liability, and regulatory burden have made childcare stupid expensive. -
My wife has worked at different times but we always had single moms that couldn't afford daycare watch our kids for a tax free hourly rate. I travel 1/2 the time and when the wife used to work she sometimes had odd hours so the overpriced day cares were never an option. Worked for us.

Two kids (3.5 and 1.5) in daycare full time is $180 a month in Sweden, along with the obviously high income tax.
However it makes sense for a society that values productivity to give economic incentive to get educated moms back in the workforce.
