Default Re: Having kids when you aren\'t wealthy....

[ QUOTE ]
also if you are wealthy but cant give time for your kids you shouldnt have them. if youre some big swinging dick ceo or lawyer who works too much having a kid is a bad idea, just like poor parents who cant provide financially.

I think you can extend this to say that if you aren't willing to commit 100% to your kids,then you shouldn't have any. This doesn't mean you should spoil them or give in to their every whim. It does mean that you should do everything in your power to ensure that they, when they become adults, are well adjusted, socially responsible contributing members of society. It means that they should know, first hand, unconditional love as well as the consequences of their actions.
