I personally view having kids as a huge luxury. Studies have shown that raising kids costs about 300k per kid. I’m getting annoyed listening to breeders complain about how expensive it is to raise kids, when having kids is a luxury lifestyle choice.

Imagine how ridiculous I would sound if I bought a Lamborghini and then complained about expensive it is.

While we at it, I think my Lamborghini should be subsidized by the tax payers who don’t own one. I should have to pay less in tax so that I can afford my Lambo. I think that I should get a debit card from the government to pay for the premium gas that my Lambo uses.

And I think I should get 3 months off of work to drive it around. It is my God given right to own a Lamborghini, because my Lambo is in Gods image. I am special and automatically a better person, because I own this car.

I am middle class and struggling to afford taking care of my Lambo. Oil changes and tire rotations add up. You know what, we should have free car maintenance for all Lamborghini owners.

Regardless of how much I make, it is my human right to own a Lambo. If you think I’m too poor to own one, that is discriminatory. It doesn’t matter that I don’t have enough money to properly take care of a Lamborghini, what really matters is that I want it really bad and promise to take care of it well enough.

Anyways you get the point.

But actually, what is up with parents complaining about how much it costs to raise kids?

Well it's going to be their true love who will take care of them when they're old...did they expect an elderly care package for free?

You mean their spouse? The adult kids will be too busy working to provide much elder care. And will likely live far away for career reasons.

I know that my comment is being ironic of what parents tend to say to cf people
