Why do so many couples have more than two kids if they cannot afford more than one or two?

I am seeing too many of such couples complaining, whining and ending up stressed-out by working their guts out. Okay, I can understand if this happens in less developed countries like China or India, where people are not well-educated. But, why even in countries like the United States?Why do so many couples have more than two kids if they cannot afford more than one or two?
well u see when a man and a woman love each other very much


or get very drunk


lol


most people dont want to terminate pregancys or give their children awayWhy do so many couples have more than two kids if they cannot afford more than one or two?
The last I checked it was not illegal to whine or complain, which is kind of what you're doing now.


Obviously you've forgotten about China's one child only policy... how well is that working out?
You can never have enough money. It doesn't matter if you have one kid or 4 kids. I have four, i stay at home while my husband works, and we make it just fine. All you have to do is cut back on how you spend your money. I shop at goodwill and gargae sales, and some resale shops that don't rip ya off. We rent a few movies a month instead of going to the theater that charges way too much anyway. Only once a month we treat the kids to dinner out, and even at that, it's like mcdonalds...that's what the younger ones pick...or taco bell or cici's. we always let them pick it cause it's their treat. there are so many ways to cut back and still have lots of fun with the kids. It's not supposed to be so stressful. I think we do that to ourselves. God Bless.
You're asking a stupid question thats been asked a million times and will be continued to stump people. Easy answer. because humans don't see sex as a means of reproducing. They see it as fun, pleasure and a way to get attention and there are no 100% effective forms of birth control other then abstinence and whats the fun in that? Don't waste your time and energy wondering about this because it will never be solved. Inless someone passes the law that all unmarried women get implanted birth control devices. Which still means nothing because they are not 100% and even married people can be poor. Oh and China less developed? HA HA HA
Lack of intellect is one of the leading causes of pregnancy, followed directly by lack of protection.
Things happen.
because they're too lazy to use protection. Bottom line. And some of you are going to say that I'm wrong, but you all know I'm right.





I know people that didn't want one, not they have 3 or 4.......give me a break........They say, I don't know how it happened. Yes they did. they got all hot and didn't wanna bother using the protection.
thats easy, they won't stop f*'ckin! and they too lazy to go on pills and use condoms xP
Ummm.... Everybody doesn't plan to have more than what they afford. There is no protection that is 100%. Just because you are in the U.S doesn't mean its easy for you and the price increases on everything doesn't help either. DUH!! Worry about your own problems.
China and India, not well-educated?


ok if it happens, according to you,


but have you think that it happens in US because MAYBE it is not well-educated.


just asking!


not against in any country.


i'm only disapproving the way of your questioning others country.


and for the couples who have more children that they can't afford,


it is their right to have many children as they want,


as long as they not disturbing the other on their living,


it is their problem how can they make or have a better living
that's life.
I ask myself the same question every single day. People have poor planning and some people figure they'll just have to deal with it. With so many social programs out there it's really not that difficult. I actually heard a mother of 11 when asked why she has so many babies but can't afford them say ';God will provide'; (God and the state of California seem to be the same person, lol).
Unplanned pregnancies. There are alot of people who have one child that they can't afford. And no protection is 100%.
who cares it's their bed they lie in it but if they ever needed help i would be there i am pregnant with my 3rd child and we are in a well off position with only one of us working. My partner packs tomato's for a living and on the weekends he is a musician from that alone he makes 4000 dollars a month from playing for 8 hours on a weekend and he gets 4.5 thousand from packing tomatoes but he is going for a managers position and he is more then qualified for the job but without that we are still doing very well. Oh yeah and i am 19 with an advanced diploma of applied social science so i think you need to butt out of everyone elses business and just don't listen when they winge about how hard done by they are.
well, you never know it could happen to anyone even you
Sh!t happens. I became pregnant with our 3rd child even though I was on birth control AND we used a condom. (I had missed a pill, so we used a condom to ';be safe';.) It was obviously meant to happen whether we thought we were ready for it or not. I could never abort a child and there was no way we would give our 3rd child up for adoption. We just simply cut some things out of our budget to make room for the new baby. Instead of going out to eat on Friday nights, we buy more diapers. Instead of brand new, brand name clothes for the kids, I shop at garage sales..... When you love your children, you do what you have to do to make it work.





*BTW - We are not on any government financial assistance. We also do not ';whine or complain';. We aren't ';stressed out'; either. We just rely on the fact that things always work out for the best. When you're at the bottom of the hill, there's nowhere to go but up!
Because some people have religious views that rely on natural family planning and not birth control.





You can't just tell someone to close their legs and expect them to listen to you...
honestly I believe that for most they just want an easy life and complain about everything now.


most of those people who complain also have a home two cars and complain because they want an RV or great vacations.


When you have children you cut out the extras in the budget until you have enough for the kids and the extras.


We live on one income with two children we cut out a ton of things so I can be a stay at home mama we don't complain about what we don't have but are happy with what we do have.


(we do not use any ';free or state aids';)
Firstly with all the social programs we have people can afford to have as many kids as they want. Doesn't mean I believe in welfare but it can be done but maybe not in the states where I believe social programs are just for the very poor. And also things usually work out just fine - why worry about it.
Why does this concerne you?





Don't worry about what other people do.
Because having children is not about money. Its about loving your kids. If you show love to your kids that is all that matters. Material things shouldn't matter.
Because people have no pride in themselves and have no problem using the government as a crutch.





And in answer to someone elses answer....relying on social programs and the state is not affording to have kids. Its having kids you can't afford and not taking responsibility for them yourselves.
Accident's happen!
