They'll do that or something equally gross. I've heard a story about a toddler who used their poo to paint a wall.
@Another Movie Addict: You are making me dread parenthood, thanks so much! :vanora_unamused:
@Saeyra: There is a reason I'm never going to be a parent, and just barely tolerate my cousin's kid coming over.
Lol probably from the same person.
Well I do behavioral therapy with autistic kids so my patience with children knows no bounds. The same does not apply to grown ass adults XD
It's not that people are wanting children less these days, it's that they no longer have to be silent about it.
That and the way the economy is vs when our parents were our age it's just not feasible. I want kids so bad but I could not afford to take care of anybody but myself and I barely get by with that even with two GOOD paying jobs X.x
I have a lot of pretty solid reasons for not wanting children. Not being able to afford it, I just don't have the personality for it, not wanting to pass on medical issues, and well I just hate children.
@Luffer Nutter: Does your government refuse to give tax breaks or incentives for kids? In some countries the governments give parents some bonuses.
@Another Movie Addict: Haha its okay, I know alot of people who don't want kids for just the reason that they don't want it. People don't really need to justify their preferences about that. I know alot of kids who suffer because their parents didn't want them in the first place. It's best to let people decide for themselves without pressure either way. :vanora_smile:
Prrrobably? But if I can't raise a kid without the help of the government then I don't want to intentionally have one. I feel like those kind of relief programs are for the unplanned, or at least should be :vanora_sweat:
I've never felt less liberal in my life than when making this comment XD

The US doesn't believe in helping people. As far as I know there really aren't any programs to help poor families, at least not here in Florida. If you have a kid and can't afford it? Too bad.
@Another Movie Addict: Oh..in my country the government actually wants us to have kids..I haven't researched it extensively but there are incentives.
Always ping me please.
Well I know Florida 100% gives you a hefty tax credit when you do your taxes in the beginning of the year(I grew up in FL and most of my family is there still), but I live in CA now which is a super liberal state so I think they help out a lot more. I know my friends with kids have no taxes taken out of their paychecks and get more money back at tax time per kid. Also if you get food stamps or unemployment/welfare your dependents will affect that as well. But not having any kids myself I am no expert lol
@saeyra: um okay so where do you live and how do I move there? I hope it's somewhere with fine ass daddies :vanora_sun: :vanora_sun: :vanora_heart:
@Luffer Nutter: Yeah but the tax break only matters once a year as one giant whole...kind of. Mostly none of that helps all that much. My cousin's family only gets about 100-something for food in food stamps, which doesn't go a very long way. Most of the time she has to come over here and force her way into our dinner time so she can feed her kid.
Yeah I mean everyone I know with kids that uses those "benefits" is sturggling so bad they need them to even have a hope of getting by. The world we live in folks.
