How I am currently getting through parenthood:

"Every day that I get through is another day that I never have to do ever again in my life"

I am not a good infant-aged parent. Like at all. They scream during growth spurts and there is nothing you can do. And she had colic the first 2 months of her life and I have yet to hit the teething stage.

But I have learned that the 'expert advice' really just makes your baby harder and isn't practical at all. I completely understand why so many parents just roll their eyes at the 'experts' now. I am not sure that anyone is a good infant parent all of the time, I found it pretty hard as well - ignore the experts, all babies are different; you might find that even your own are different to each other as babies, if you have more than one.

Colic is horrendous, teething is a trial of endurance and painful if you are breast feeding! Just ask what others found good to help and try them all. Just do what works for you and the baby at any given time - what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow, but may work again in the future.

Parenting is far harder than some people realise, but at least infants tend to stay in the same place; just wait until you have to chase after a toddler whose nappy needs changing!

right so how can you say that you cant afford to have a child to someone then the child is a multi millionaire?

Are you seriously this fucking dumb? You asked a contextless question, you got a contextless answer.

Even then, you don't know whether or not the child will be a multi-millionaire. Similar logic, however, would dictate one could make a case for forcefully aborting babies or otherwise removing children from various household settings because there is evidence to claim that children born to single mothers are more likely to commit felonies and flood the prison system, as is children being born to teenaged parents also becoming a teenaged parent themselves, which would encourage the welfare state.

The logic is extremely dumb if it follows and I award you no points for even attempting to make that bullshit argument.

Also, it would be nice to see your commentary on this:

https://law.yale.edu/system/files/documents/pdf/Intellectual_Life/FoleyCrimeFeb08_(2).pdf

"Stephens (2003) finds that households that primarily depend on social security for income
increase spending on goods that reflect instantaneous consumption in the first few days following the receipt of the check. Dobkin and Puller (forthcoming) find that welfare recipients increase their consumption of drugs when their checks arrive at the beginning of the month, spurring an increase in hospitalizations and deaths "

There we have it- welfare users use more drugs when they receive their welfare check, which would imply the money is being spent on drugs and not actually fucking feeding their family and flooding the hospitals with their immoderate spending and behavior instead of having the hospitals helping law-abiding citizens.

#removewelfare?

Since when is your sister a single mother? I thought she was with mr Walmart.

There's no more likely.

There is no maths involved.

If you think there is maths involved then you're proper dumb.

Do really not need to read that since it is obviously rubbish and you really don't know anything about drugs at all.

You are saying that your sister cant have more children because she cant afford them, which is probably your fault, but how do you know how much she is going to earn in her life and how much her kids are gong to earn and her grandkids because you aren't having kids so yours are going to contribute exactly nothing to society and you're jealous about that.

exactly, explain to me what sort of society values mcdonalds and heroin more than people who wash, feed, and care for elderly people and have them die on them and then clean them when they're dead?

And tell me what society values the lazy to anything beyond food scraps? Caretakers have nothing to do with it- it's a Red Herring to go on about caretakers when the argument is the unemployed leeching off of society.

At least with the Micky D workers, they're providing a service that is popular and people will throw money at, unlike the welfare recipients which more or less take from the more honest workers of society.

And honestly? I have nothing against pushers- at least they're doing more than welfare recipients (and risking more)(Yes, I place drug dealers over welfare recipients, get over it). If only they used their skills for legal activity...

Poshpants said :

so can you explain their salary and what kind of society values someone selling gold in a shop more than a person raising their children and family?

And tell me what value a child born to a welfare household has to society? Literally. Nothing.

It's a literal deficit to society. It'd be one thing if the family was self-supporting, but no- if born to welfare, it's people like ME who have to pay for that kid, making them a liability to society instead of an asset.

Answer me this: Does a baby put food on your table at the end of the day? No, nowadays money does, meaning money will inherently have more value. Not much more can be said there.

Poshpants said :

so then explain to me why anyone should pay tax so that police can enforce the views of that sort of sick society?

I was just showing you the idiocy in your logic should it follow that "We should keep all babies because you don't know if they're going to be millionaires!!!!", so yea. Still want to assert the argument?

Poshpants said :

If you think there is maths involved then you're proper dumb.

How you made it so far so as to produce children is beyond my comprehension, as society by and large does not give a shit about feelings (especially yours)- they care more about the facts, which more often than not are backed up by, you guessed it, mathematical figures.


The rest of your dumpster fire post isn't even worth dignifying with a proper response. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

No the argument is not the unemployed leeching off society because the father of your sisters children is working so how do you work that even out? Your anger should 100% be directed at him.

Carers and parents are contributing to society and doing a job you could never ever do.

No, there is no point working in mcdonalds or selling heroin. That is worse than doing nothing.

Yes obviously we should keep all babies.

I can literally write you a very long list of people who you would literally be arse licking irl who come from poor backgrounds and poor single parent backgrounds so obviously they have a value.

Therefore it is contributing to society. Although selling heroin is worse than doing nothing. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!
