    I would LOVE to have kids one day. It is something my wife and I are looking forward to. We are just wanting to save up a few more moneys and it’s a situation I realize we are fortunate to be in.

    But we have waited so long and are waiting a little bit longer because of money because kids deserve experiences in life.

    I’m sure it’s incredibly easy for this lady to say “kids don’t need nice things” while coming from a household that could afford everything this world has to offer.

    Growing up I was lucky my dad worked extra hours so I could play sports. Up until 3 years ago (I am 29 now) I never was able to travel and never left my own state. Up until 1 and a half year ago I have never left the Country. All that to say there was a lot of anxiety and trauma I had to live with growing up. And I realize even still that some folks might consider me lucky.

    In today’s world, kids should never have to worry about where their food is coming from. What a detached worldview these assholes have if they’re genuine.
