after having one they think having two is twice as hard and another three times as hard etc.

When people have simply forgotten that it actually gets easier with each additional child. Having older ones help with younger ones is like having a free baby sitter. All the large purchases have already been made, you simply have to set things aside for the next one in line.

It’s really easy to have a big family until college, where you had better have a plan.

Also people have forgotten that children are who take care of your when your old and sick. The more you have the greater the chances at least one will help with you when you need it.

All these idiots with no children will have a come to Jesus moment eventually when they realize what a mistake they made

My plan for College was to force kids to finance it themselves. Get good grades, apply for scholarships, and work and save money. CC education saves a lot of money, as does living at home while in University. When you don’t go to Spring Break, or Thanksgiving break to a foreign beach, you save. When you buy used books, and sacrifice yourself, you live differently. The oldest graduated with an Engineer degree, with zero debt.
