As a father of a one year old, this topic is a pretty sensitive one for me.

With all of the doubling and tripling of food an energy costs (yet no official inflation, yay!), yet steadily declining wages, record credit card debt, and record student loan debt, when will the breaking point be?

The cost of raising a child has gone up, yet the results of raising children have gone down. This is proof that no one should have children.

Is this another pro abortion thread?

Things will change when people realize that they alone have the power to change things.


This isn't some grand conspiracy it's the nature of reality in modern times. People need to wake up and remember what it is that they once accomplished. Stop living in fear and embrace the good and bad that comes with great upheaval and change.

I believe that children are our future...unless we stop them now!

I know I thought it was bad having 1 child. I have 3 now. It actually seems to be easier with 3 kids than it did with 1 kid. I know it sounds weird but maybe its because I adjusted my spending and everything accordingly. I have never really suffered or felt the pain of the economy. Somehow I manage to get raise after raise. In the past 3 years since I've had kids I've gotten almost 7 dollars in raises. I know its a taboo subject but I always give thanks to god for the grace the blessings he has given to my family.
