That is what I did.

Then when we could afford it, we adopted.

If they work they don't make much and the cost increases faster than their wages do. Also, I bet most of the gripes come from welfare people.

I agree with most of you. It all comes down to an entitlement mentality that the poor have. They think that having kids is a right and that the government should raise taxes to help pay for their children.

I was once a poor single mother. The one cost I never complained about was daycare. My opinion was, if I'm going to pay $$$ for something, it's going to be the people spending all day with my kid. I would also bake cookies and bring gifts for them. I wanted to make sure they actually cared for my son too.

Oh, it just gives them something to complain about when they aren't buying steaks with their food stamps or basking in their air conditioning.
