like why do they even bother?
theres so much of it nowadays, so many people are clinging hold of every penny and i understand why, the world is getting so expensive nowadays
everyone always seems to be in some sort of financial trouble and therefore you always hear 'can't, don't have the money' yet these are always the people who plan for or are desperate for a family
i don't understand it, if things are bad now what the heck makes them think its going to get any better when they have kids? have they not gotten the memo yet that kids cost the earth? i mean i don't have any kids but even i know they are expensive. i hear it from everyone, especially my own fam. my own family were the type who always struggled with money so what did they very cleverly decide to do - have another child of course!
and with each kid there was more whining and complaining about how broke they were
and now i'm getting this crap from my boyfriend too. super stingy always complains about everything, everytimes its either 'omg have you seen the price, i won't be able to afford it babe' or constant reminders that 'its the least you can do after all the amount i spent on it'(and hes usually only spent a small amount).
hes basically one of these similar types who always, always, always complains about money, its the only thing he basically complains about and obsesses over. even when we moved in he even had the nerve to try and tell me what i should spend my own wages on and wanted to try and take control of both our money but of course i didn't let that happen
so you'd think with his obsession to save the pennies the last thing he'd want is a kid but hes adamant to have one in the next couple of years.sooo damn infuriating, i mean i'm standing my ground but his logic is so annoying. don't want a huge wedding cos its a waste of money but wants several kids. i know he'll be just as annoying as my dad if we even had one kid, complains now, will complain 10000x more if a child came into the picture. he might even take his financial frustrations out on the child. why do people do this? why do serial stingy people want kids, do they think children are cheap or something?!
