I agree with you expect the trick you into having kids part. How does someone trick you into having kids if you are not mentally ready to handle the job? No, the problem with us is blame shifting. We don’t make decisions that won’t benefit us. But when the odds are down we transfer the blame to someone else. We choose to marry or have kids because at some point it was a decision that would benefit us expect for the mishap underage cases.

Anyways, I’m glad you pointed this out so I will be on the lookout when someone tries to corner me into an unhealthy circumstances.

If women were paid equally as men most of these issues will be solved. I think financial burden is a major crises most parents face day in day out.
