That’s a joke, right? When I looked it was only 500 to 620 a month per kid.
You have baby items to worry about, needing a crap ton of clothes (kids grow a LOT), having adequate nutrition (growth spurts too), school supplies, and more. If you’re already barely making ends meet, of COURSE you’ll struggle if you add another human being. Of course, cost of living also varies by area, as well as public transportation. Without that, you’d have to hope that you live near essentials like a family doctor, or you’d have to pony up even more money for a car and child seat.
If that’s not enough, you also get the fun of society looking down on your for “having kids before you were ready”. Many of us heard that from adults throughout the entire time we grew up. Why voluntarily walk into that? Nah. IF I ever have a kid, it won’t be untilI can guarantee that that doesn’t happen.
I don’t like where any of this is going. It was very very bad last time.
When I saw this post, I also thought about places like Camp, California, who weren’t so lucky in terms of having a safe electric infrastructure. I imagine it might be trickier to shift over in those types of areas.
It’s awesome that they managed that in BC. I hope more places gain that kind of stability.
I mean, a heck of a lot of people do get by just fine using public transport.
I think a nice balance would be better, personally, but it is an option. Public transit would be more viable if we increased it’s infrastructure. I believe that more people would use it if it was more appealing.
Sometimes it can be fun to not need to drive lol. Some of the best nights out over the last year ended in a bus ride home. Nobody had to be the DD this way.
I don’t know why, but I feel like I should also specify that we kept to ourselves and didn’t really talk while we were on the bus those nights.
Horse armor.
To be honest, it really doesn’t bother me either way
This comment section is killing me lmao.
You have people saying that language is fluid, and that one person cannot decide which pronunciation is correct. Then, in that same comment, they say that their preferred pronunciation is obviously correct.
Hard g, soft g, you do you. It really doesn’t change much.
The budget isn’t super tight, but nothing is open yet where I am. I’m just a bit hungry at the moment, because I missed eating for most of yesterday.
When the stores do open, I’ll be at work and will have to wait until after my shift to buy more food.
I hadn’t heard about this aspect of fire safety before today, so I figured I would see if anyone on here knew more about it. Thank you for responding!
