If You Can't Afford to Have Kids, Why Have Them?

Honestly I'd tell her what I think on her wall then a day or two later I'd defriend. You really don't need friends like this. She can't be anything but drama, I can't imagine her ever being there for you when you'd need it.

I agree that people shouldn't have kids if they can't afford it, but where do you draw the line on affordability? Take the Duggars, they are entirely self-sufficient and don't claim a penny in welfare, but their kids all wear worn out hand me downs from the thrift store and second/third/fourth hand shoes.

Only read the above and could not help an "OMG".

I don't think that this has anything to do with parents not assuming responsibility for supporting their child, and everything to do with being an extremely boorish, poor taste piece of trash.
