Why do poor people knowingly have children?

[Turk]

Thid question randomly popped up in my head while i was talking to a coworker of mine. He was talking about his new child about to be born. He was excited and rightfully so but i thought about our salary at this job and i was like we only make like 30K a year. Me and him like the same age too. Why bring a kid into a situation like that?

Because with all the other supposed 'freedoms' we possess, that's the only one that the Government doesn't control.......yet.​

I've wondered this as well.
Inb4 people with poor irresponsible parents attack OP instead of answering the question.

Because many pregnancies, in my opinion, stem from "accidents," not people wanting to have children. But whatever, now he has a "purpose." Maybe one day we will see some sort of pregnancy regulation.

Poor people historicllay have always had more kids. You always hear of poor families with like 15 kids from way back in the day. All my grandparents had mad brothers and sisters

A lot of factors. I can tell you this though. I was talking to my cousin about his son. How about, this nikka didn't even know about the plan B pill. I was dumbfounded when he said he didn't know what that was. He loves his son and all that good stuff, but lil man may not have been here if he knew about it.

My friend and his wife both black, educated, making over 200k dont want children . This is Idiocracy in real life where the intelligent are dying out and being replaced by morons.

If the broad also makes 30k then shyt ain't that bad.

Who should regulate who is fit to have kids? And if money is the issue what amount? Maybe only people making 100k and over should be able to have kids.

I was pondering the same thing when I was up late one night watching infomercials - 'Feed the starving kids in Africa...'

Maybe your co-worker has a 2-income household.
