@MichaelEmblet11@InlandCaGuy@IvanaDGreco@lymanstoneky The people I see are similar. Blame it all on money. Or they say if they had some mysterious village that would mean they basically don’t have to care for their kids they would have ten. Okay? Useless.
@ajlamesa It’s so stupid to consider how we pay for medical care for the semi old and elderly, the poor, children, veterans, the disabled, etc., but refuse to do it for everyone. His dysfunctional and complicated and unfair.
@FKP_Indonesia@mintycel It’s like when people complain that pediatricians won’t take them when they won’t take their advice? You think they’re trying to kill your kids but also want to see them multiple times a year?
@MichaelEmblet11@InlandCaGuy@IvanaDGreco@lymanstoneky It’s my pet peeve. Most people just don’t want more than a couple kids, and it’s not because they can’t have them. They don’t want them. The pro natalist obsessives are too siloed from normal people to understand this.
@InlandCaGuy@IvanaDGreco@lymanstoneky “I want to have a baby. I don’t want to pay a dollar for the healthcare or raising of that baby, and I don’t want to take care of it.” Maybe you just don’t want one!
@IvanaDGreco@lymanstoneky People just say things. For some reason a lot of adults don’t just want to be like “I don’t want kids.” On what planet could you have a child and make no financial or lifestyle sacrifices?
@1975jetsfan4@HannahDCox There is tons of evidence that the death penalty is grossly unevenly implemented, corrupt, expensive and a poor crime deterrent. You probably know this tho, you just want to argue.
@Hestia_Esq My dad is sort of comfortably alone and my mom is married to someone who annoys the living hell out of her. We generally had the happiest household. Such a waste.
@Hestia_Esq My parents divorced when I was 17. Went from comfortably UMC to struggling, right during the 2008ish crisis. Destroyed college for us financially, ruined their financial futures. No real reason, just bored. They’ve both told me in confidence that they regret it.
@AmyRhody@dejgarate@estherzelda0514 I wonder too about the “single” thing. I was reading a dad on here saying that he was able to work out a lot even tho he’s a single dad. Well turns out the kids are with mom half the time.
