Non starters will always be non starters and they have been around forever too. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atb j There’s a massive question mate, everyone will have a different take on that one but the fact is some things are better and some are worse. The individual decides which is which in every single case imho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Times have changed. I was listening to a radio program not long ago about some thing like this topic. The amount of couples that said they couldn't afford to have children was mind boggling. Both had to work to pay, life choices. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 The things that shouldn't change in raising childern is, bring them up, well fed, clothed, educated, honest, respectful, protected and most of all loved. If that can be done, then their should be nothing to worry about. Atb j 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 My wife looks after two set of kids during the week, for couples that work.

It's hard on the kids as well as the parents, then them trying to make up for it on the weekend The day of one bread winner is mostly gone Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
