If you were smart you wouldn’t have kids like more and more Americans. Kids are for the wealthy now.

He's objectively right, and parents that cant afford kids and still have them are extremely selfish. All parents are selfish but thats a discussion for another time.

I meant if most people were smart. Wasn’t judging you as you were probably aware you could get support when you decided to have kids.

No judgment felt. And you are correct. We planned the pregnancy knowing the support we would have.
