Your way of thinking makes much more sense to me purelife. People need to think about what it takes to raise a child, and crossing one's fingers and hoping it'll all work out isn't the answer.

I have known couples that have far less than a lot but having kids was a priority for them. They may have done without luxury items and fancy vacations but they are by far some of the happiest people I know of. As the kids get older and have children they are seeing what it's [?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /][st1:PersonName w:st="on"]al[/st1:PersonName]l about FAMILY.
