Why would poor people have kids knowing they can’t afford kids?

I think it’s because they genuinely want offspring of their own as well as married people… Well they sleep together most people aren’t going to permanently mutilate their bodies to where they can never have kids if they want kids later on sometimes things happen unplanned too. They may have even taken precautions and it failed.

If children are being neglected it’s time to go to jail. But most kids are fed now days because of private charities as well as governmental assistance. They may not have designer clothes, the latest cell phone, all Stanley colors, and all the fancy shit the cool kids have. But most are fed and have a place to sleep.

Most people want to carry their genes at some point and having kids while the parents are younger lowers the risk of possibly more serious birth defects having children later on in life. Also, many times once children get older the financial situation improves as the parents more times get their stuff together.

Never underestimate poor parents they can really get things down when it comes down to it. I don’t know how they do it sometimes but Christmas comes around it can be miracles. Maybe they get a 100 dollars spent instead of thousands. But it’s love and family that matters. If a family can spend that much on their kids that’s great bur.

There is a biological urdge and deep felt desire to procreate. The wealthy only has 1 or 2 kids which is unsustainable for maintaining a population and countries demographics.

The truth is that successive governments have made it difficult for working and middle class people to start families and have multiple kids but will invite hoards of ilegal immigrants and refugees in to fill gaps in aging populations.

When you get down to it why shouldn't citizens have children. How much do kids actually need. They basically need shelter, healthy food, basic education and basic healthcare which is very affordable if the government choose to make it so and the wealthy elites would stop robbing working families.

Basic education is pretty easy provided you don't rely on the us education system to educate your kids. Healthcare is affordable for most kids provided you feed your kids the right amount of healthy food.

They don’t have knowledge and some of them just think that kids are like investment. Thinking that if they have kids they have something to holding on and taking care of them when they are old.

In the US, they get paid... welfare... for having kids. Simple economics.
