Child care costs more than a mortgage payment or rent almost everywhere in the U.S.: ‘There is no escaping it’ (www.marketwatch.com)

Yes there is.

Don't have kids.

If only they hadn't criminalised abortion, and consistently cut funding to sex education and instead funded shit like "Crisis pregnancy centers".

Get your head out of your ass.

And before anyone even tries - I have no kids and want no kids, but to answer this bullshit with "don't have kids" is unhelpful at the very least, and actively licking boot at worst. These problems are not the fault of the people having kids.

You get YOUR head out of your ass.

Having children when you can't provide for them makes you the problem.

Simple as that.

If you can't care for kids, don't drag them into a miserable impoverished existence then whine at everyone else to bankroll you.
