Making a life-changing decision - for more than just yourself - on the assumption that they will want anything to do with you in 40 years is, how do I put this… stupid as fuck?
And that assumes they also are able-bodied, of sound mind and judgement, can care for any others financially…
My folks are getting up there in age, and I’m not getting any younger myself. They are religious, I’m not. I’m LGBT, they are bigoted. I can understand the big picture of caring for others through community, they don’t. They are still very capable and mobile, I’m disabled. What side of the fence do you think I’m on?
They could have just used a fucking condom. They should have. They didn’t.
Baby: costs thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars over a minimum of 18 years
Monitor: shows memes and games, costs a few hundred dollars for a good one, one time purchase
Obviously the child is the stupid financial decision
It depends on where you live. Believe it or not, kids still care for their elderly parents in some nations.
