    Work and family

    These days of low wages or no work at all, what are your thoughts on this,
    Starting a family or finding work to help yourself and your partner to live a decent life style here, and what if you are not working would you still have a child thinking its you right to have it?

    I was listening to a radio show yesterday about not having a child because you cannot afford it.

    So if you have to choose work and able to live and not be a burden to the state or anyone, or go without and have a child.

    This is what I've done

    I don't think there's a right way, but there's definitely a wrong way if the only reason you're having children is to get a bigger house and more benefits
