So how much do you need to make to be allowed to have kids?? My husband and I just had a baby. And we make in the top 5% of US incomes. But in order to live in a community with good schools near family support (and 25K in property taxes), within 1 hour of our jobs in Manhattan, fund our retirements, his college…

I’ll make sure to tell my sister that she shouldn’t have had a baby with a guy who died 4 months later. She should have seen that coming. What an idiot.

They could afford the child. What they couldn’t afford (and few people can) was to be able to take care of the child themselves during the day without using a day care. The woman was the primary provider for the family since she was the one with health insurance. Being able to stay at home with your child in the first…

Shut the fuck up. This is not an isolated situation in the US. Workers have no protections, fewer rights, and minuscule wages — though the 1% has seen obscene increases in wealth since 2008 (and since the 1970s overall). What about the father not having health benefits at his work? What about a longer maternity leave?…

Fuck you. For real. Take your ignorant bullshit elsewhere.

lolololol congrats on being the dumbest person in the comments, ya fucking bridge dweller.

You’re right, only rich people should get to have kids in New York City. It’s just common sense.

Dude, this is an article about a dead baby. Seriously? You wanna be that guy?

So, having children should only be a luxury afforded to the affluent?

It also sounds like a problem with our healthcare system that she couldn’t leave her job because she was the one with the benefits.

It doesn’t sound like they couldn’t afford to have children though; just that they couldn’t afford to have one of the parents out of work.

No, they really don’t. I’ve never in my life met a trans person who said that anyone had an obligation to fuck them. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. All they’re asking for is respect and dignity.

Hate and fear killed his wife. Not sure why he’d want to perpetuate the cycle.

It can both be true that Caitlyn Jenner is not deserving of the Woman of the Year, and that this guy is an asshole for calling her a man.

I’m having WAY too much fun picturing this as part of the “Moet Chandon” SNL skit. “Moey Chambin iss perfect for occasions like... Occasions! Avernersary! Minaj Twat wittchur bess friend and her husben!”

My goodness. Miley sure is shaking up my square, conformist mindset. Has anyone seen my envelopes? Because I think they’ve all been pushed.

I guess I just don’t see how “suggestive” equals gross, unless you think vulvae are gross to begin with. It’s a fruit, which is not gross, that’s suggestive of a vulva, which is also not gross. I know there are way too many people who think anything having to do with the female reproductive system is deeply disgusting…

I have rebelled. That is that. I don’t have the patience to do that kind of work for anyone but those who prove to me they deserve it, though I have the luxury of being childless and spouseless. And when I see what my female friends go through I’m tempted to stay that way. My close friends and my family get 95 percent…

The finding stuff around the house is right up there on my list of pet-peeves.
