Is financial stability really necessary to have a baby?

[Beautylover9]

Or the baby needs love? What if you are in your 30’s and are no where ready for a baby and it just happens? What if your parents make you get an abortion because you are still living with them? Is it illegal? And what if you aren’t financially ready and the father has a good job and lives on his own?

Is financial stability really necessary to have a baby? Necessary, like. . . required? No, irresponsible people have babies every day of the year.

Or the baby needs love? Is that an either/or choice, like. . . baby, you can have financial stability, or you can have love, but you can't have both!

What if you are in your 30’s and are no where ready for a baby and it just happens? Talk to your mother and get her to explain how babies are created. It doesn't JUST HAPPEN.

What if your parents make you get an abortion because you are still living with them? How do your parents MAKE you get an abortion? You mean something like they give you a choice and you take the easy way out and go along with their wishes?

Is it illegal? Is it illegal for your parents to give you a choice? Absolutely not.

And what if you aren’t financially ready and the father has a good job and lives on his own? And what if you were responsible and used birth control and never put yourself in this position? And what if you took responsibility for your own actions?

Thanks for MHO!

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Required? No.

So many babies are born to people who weren't ready. You make it work.

[Beautylover9]

Yeah so true. How do people make it work?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Well, you look at the problem in front of you, know it's gonna suck ass, and plow fucking through it.

Low income people would be better off financially with kids when considering earned income credit, free healthcare, subsidized housing, food stamps, free breakfast and lunch at school, etc. Kids are only expensive for middle class and higher people.

It costs an average of $2000 a month to raise a child based on the information in site below.

It will help you calculate it for your specific situation:

[tiredpanda]

Yup. Love alone isn’t enough to raise a child.

[dudeinohio]

If you are an adult, your parents can't make you do anything.

Financial stability is a must to raise children. They are quite expensive.

[Anonymous]

I’d say absolutely and I’m suprised some people said no to this question.

[jahaims]

It's irresponsible to have a child if you don't have resources

[moddy_the_mod]

If you don't have enough money to live on your own keep your legs closed.

[GothEgg]

No but certainly helps.

[Beautylover9]

Why do you think it’s not necessary? What are other options?

[GothEgg]

Because you can get pregnant and have a child with no financial stability what so ever, happens all the time.

[Beautylover9]

It does!! How do they raise the baby then?

[GothEgg]

How does anyone

[Beautylover9]

Can they with government assistance?

[Iron_Man]

you need money to raise the child

[Beautylover9]

Yeah so why do some people say you don’t? They can get financial assistance. Most do right?

[Iron_Man]

Yeah, that helps them a little bit, but not a lot it’s a very minimum payout

[Beautylover9]

Yeah so how do the young moms do it? With barely any income? Some make it work

[Iron_Man]

Government help it’s easy for them

[exitseven]

No, but it really helps.

[ElenaLena]

Absolutely..

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yes of course
