Not too highly honestly. I dated my wife for 8 years long distance before we got married. She is a teacher and we make over $300 000/year(Not bragging I have a business) and now I feel I am ready to have a kid. I wanted to make sure I was stable.

I just turned 29 and my wife just turned 30 as well.

I'm also East Indian I don't know if that factors into it.

My niece (14) recently disowned her mom, who was simply using her for child care for her 4 (or 5? Who knows, I lost count, but they keep popping out) youngest kids (6 and under), so she could play WOW all day. The funniest thing is when maintenance enforcement went after the mom for child support, so now not only does she lose her free babysitter and her child support from her ex, but now she needs to pay that same child support to my sibling.

Amazing how her tune changes about paying for things that are not part of the regular monthly payments, like for recreation etc. Before they were essential and now it is her opinion that her ex is 'just milking the system vindictively'.

What does dropping your yearly income have to do with the original question?

Is this the new equivalent of the "MY GIRLFRIEND" posts on the internet?

I don't know. Since I was 18 I had a chance to bang a lot of chicks, but why would I want a kid with them? Hell no.

I don't know if its a dealbreaker, some people just make bad judgements, maybe are a bit misguided, or guilable.

on the plus side, it means I have a chance

on the negative side her ladybits probably look like they were hit by a speeding kenworth.

It's just the continued break down of the family unit in the west, thanks in part to an overall decline of morality, awful marriage/divorce laws and marxist-feminism...

What the hell does Marxist Feminism have to do with women having excessive numbers of children?

Does their claim that the capitalism system, which validates men and their work activities while at the same time trivializes women's work in the home, somehow serve to encourage them to have more kids and be further indentured to a life of taking care of children in the home?

Please enlighten me, because this I need to hear.

I once dated a girl and her sister had 3 kids with 3 different fathers. I personally thought that it was kind of reckless/irresponisible on her part since it caused so many problems for everyone involved.

With how the marriage/divorce laws are structured, it almost gives women an incentive to divorce and move on to the next husband when they get sick of their current husband. Women nowadays initiate divorce proceedings the vast majority of the time (I think something like 70%). They know they will get some support from the government in financial aid or tax breaks, and the child support/alimony to make the transition as smooth as possible(so to speak).

If the aim of marxist feminism is to make men and women equal in every way (socially, economically etc.), it will naturally undermine the concept of a patirarchal family unit.

Actually, it is more often considered a tenet of Liberal Feminism that men and women be equal in every way. Marxist Feminists tend to worry about the economic inequality.

Quotes from Wikipedia, because I am not about to go searching for a real source that qill say the same thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_feminism

Quote:
It is an individualistic form of feminism and theory, which focuses on women’s ability to show and maintain their equality through their own actions and choices. Liberal feminism looks at the personal interactions of men and women as the starting ground from which to transform society into a more gender-equitable place.
Issues important to liberal feminists include reproductive rights and abortion access, sexual harassment, voting, education, fair compensation for work, affordable childcare, affordable health care, and bringing to light the frequency of sexual and domestic violence against women
Marxist feminism is typically more concerned with just the economic problems as the root cause.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxist_feminism

Quote:
Marxist feminism states that private property, which gives rise to economic inequality, dependence, political confusion, and ultimately unhealthy social relations between men and women, is the root of women's oppression in the current social context.
I wont even touch on the fact that you think the patriarchal family unit is the only good way for a family to be, and as such, all other forms are inferior and cause problems...

1. You are clueless. There is no "incentive" to get divorced. Sure it is a lot easier than it used to be, but it's not like there is a massive economic windfall from getting divorced.

2. Is this a bad thing?

Back on topic, my opinion is she didn't pay attention during sex ed class.

If she really wanted to not get pregnant, she just needs to go on top. Everyone knows you can't get pregnant if the girl is on top.

My mother is 80 and she has stayed with my dad in spite of the times he would beat her and us. The endless abuse and drinking was pure hell for a child to grow up in.
I wish she would have left him, but she was afraid to and we had no place to go.
Back then if society would be more like today and not like you wish it was my mother may have had a chance or at least an option.
