There is a thread entitled "How much debt did you get into on maternity leave" which should answer the question asked of this thread.

You know adoption leave exists too.

Well, my parents were totally on the poverty line when they had me. They could barely keep the place heated, and we just about managed to have food on the table but as time went by my parents got better jobs, moved houses etc. and by the time I went to university the family was pretty solvent. Now that I've been away from home a few years they're positively well off! Having kids early meant my mum could have a career later in life and it worked out great for all of us. If everyone waits to have kids till they have a big enough house/savings etc they'll never have kids these days!

I'll change my view 100% then.

Screw the kids up for adoption, get IVF instead, if you're infertile, and if you're not infertile, even better, keep pumping out those babies as quickly as possible.

Broke? Wonderful. Make sure you can give a child the bare minimum in order to enhance the levels of stress you will undoubtedly appreciate during their upbringing amongst other factors.

Adoption/Infertility treatment takes alot of time? Well, I was under the impression you put a coin in a slot and out pops a foetus. If it takes time, it's not worth doing unless it's going to pop out of your own vagina.

This is how you all sound to me.

Couldn't come up with a cogent response then?

Decided to throw your toys out of the proverbial instead.

When are you going to adopt a child, Supermassive? After all, you're in a committed relationship, you live in a terraced house so presumably have a spare room, two salaries coming in, the authorities are happy for same sex partners to adopt nowadays, nothing to stop you whatsoever.

Since there are thousands of kids waiting for adoption and we clearly aren't doing it why don't you do the right thing yourself and adopt one instead of preaching to everyone else or are you too selfish and like your current lifestyle too much?

Predicted response: no one would want to bring a child isn't this poverty stricken area, my life is so terrible.

Also one of these: :rotfl:

I have no desire to have children. Nevermind the money situation, the poor !!!!!! wouldn't be loved, or even liked.
