  • You seem to be missing the point that it's not within your power to just decide that these people's situations are what you think they are. You don't know their ideals, finances or job prospects. You don't get to decide that someone is 'living off of' someone else. It seems to escape you that someone might want to have a child but couldn't without a partner that stayed at home. Is that person 'living off of' the SAHP since they couldn't have a child otherwise? You just don't have the place or the information to judge, everything you are saying is baseless. Mind your own business. You have no clue why these people's situations are how they are.

    • If somebody is not earning money, and are living somewhere other than under a bridge, they are living off somebody else. Somebody else is paying for their living expenses, be it welfare, boyfriend, family, etc. SOMEBODY is earning this money to PAY for the SAHP to take care of their child that they call a job. Therefore, SAHP is LIVING OFF the person earning the money, and paying it back by cleaning their own mess. How many times do I have to repeat wiping one's own buttocks is not a job and doesn't contribute anything to anyone. Nobody cares if your ass is wiped, just like nobody cares if you had a kid and decided to devote your life to raising it (In all ways other than financially, which becomes someone else's responsibility)

      This is the problem, SAHP as you call it need to learn to admit they're chronically unemployed and stop saying they have a job or contribute anything useful to the world.

      • You don't know their situation. Maybe they saved up money before having a kid so they didn't have to work. Maybe they make money from home. Maybe working outside the home would cost more than they'd make, it's very common for daycare to cost a few hundred per week for just one child. Oh, some child care can be subsidized by the government...so YOU get to help pay for someone to go to some crappy job where they don't make enough to get by on. Do you like that or would you rather they watch their own kid and the other parent involved picks up their tab instead of you?

        Children are necessary for society to maintain itself. I'm not going to explain it to you but if you want to read about it, look up fertility rates and problems with aging populations. The US is NOT overpopulated.
