This friend of mine now complain so much because of the new child adding to his family. If we reduce the child bearing to the amount we can take care , it will reduce the heat we are feeling from the bad economy experience.

With the high level of inflation I don't see reason why parents will want to give birth to kids that they can't afford money to give them good up bringing.  Inflation should be a reason that is enough to allow parents to think of kids that they can be able to take care of financially. One thing that marvels me about people who give birth to much kids is,  they still complain bur yet still giving birth, already they ate aware of their financial status.  Birth control is very important in this present economy because inflation is increasing and know one can tell what the future will be like,  if things will become better or not.

In my religion having more members in your family means you will get good sustenance later in afterlife and this world and I do still remember and take an account of that if I got a chance to raise the child later.
But still take into account before give a birth though, sometimes it is good to just limit it with what you are capable for. But it's just up to you to decide that.

There will be a way to get the income when you are into that point.


Yes, there will always be ways but it may be hard and tough not only for you but also for your kids too. So if we can plan ahead before raising a child, that will be more good for all of us because we parents can also give    the best in life that our children deserve. That is why the government introduce family planning to all parents so they can plan ahead before raising a child.

I think the world has evolved to the point where we have things like birth control pills or families engage in family planning. All these are to help one cope with the economic and financial straits one is plagued with.
Personally, it's not advisable to take on more than you can handle and it's not seen as laziness either if one tend to limit the number of children they are having.
Family planning is a must and I think this generation is more aware of it and there are many welfares that have been helping those unaware of how to plan to start with their families.

Using birth controls and pills is a way to lessen the sudden and unexpected pregnancy of a couple.

Because when you have your own family, you have to prioritize it and it's really going to add more expenses not just for your child but also to your wife/husband.
Right. Expect that even if you have a well compensated job, you will always encounter times of losing your budget because of sudden needs of your family especially if your kids are already sent to schools. So probably, if we can have a good family planning, we can always avoid circumstances that will make suffer our children. It’s not bad to raise numerous kids, but make sure you have a good and sustainable income to provide their needs and wants.

I see that this is reality that the cost of running the family house hold daily, weekly, monthly and yearly has increased. From different people that have complained and including friends, it is getting so much of frustration to taking good care of the family to live fine because inflation and no job. To buy basic need in the house not easy. A friend that have add a new born to his home complaining of buying diaper, provisions for the new child as expensive in addition to the expenses to take care of the other children. The situation of bringing up the family is not easy and I think one way to helping ourselves not to add more financial burden is by reducing the number of children we give birth to. This can help.

This is why family planning is relevant or something that people should be minding which they shouldnt really bear a child if they arent financially ready or capable on doing so.It would really be an another expense

and if you do see that you are still not that prepared because of not enough money to be saved out from your salary, then why would decide on having another child?
Some cant just avoid since its there and treating it up that it was an accident.The worst thing is that there are mothers who do leave out their newborns on a trashcan
(mostly 3rd world countries).

As father or a man who would be raising up a family then everything should come up with a plan.You cant just carelessly make your wife bare a child if you arent financially prepared.
You would really be finding yourself on big trouble on raising up your kids if you arent that prepared.

so you're saying that, mostly without electricity, washing machine, refrigerator, diapers, car, internet, advanced farm tools and other inventions of the last 200 years, women gave birth to 6 children (on average!) and now it's impossible to raise second child? nah. People are just lazy nawadays or are focused too much to get new iphone, clothes with good brands, netflix, tiktok, youtube,  etc.

We can say that but it doesn't represent the general poor family.  I think there are lots of hardworking people that are not earning enough to support their families.  One major reason is being underpaid.  Many capitalists take advantage of the lack of education and lack of job opportunities to exploit workers.  Even though there is a national law regarding minimum wages, these capitalists still do this kind of bidding in order to get more profit by underpaying their employees,  and also that minimum wage alone that used to be enough to feed a family of six before isn't sufficient to feed a family of 3 in the current economic condition.  The government is too slow to react to the ever-increasing prices of commodities and the depreciation of the currency. 


The less money a family has, the more children are born. Its a well known fact. You just have to focus on building instead of complaining.

I agree, that is why poor people have more children because they are more focused on building their family number growth.  Well, at least that is the easiest thing for them to build.  Grin Just kidding.  In a serious note, yeah mind should be focused on finding solutions than finding fault.  An hour of working produces way more profit than years of whining.

It's not harder than 30 years ago, believe me. My parents used to live in a socialist country and there was literally nothing to do for fun. You'd come back from work, have a meal and watch TV, because there were no fancy restaurants, no shopping centers, no fancy clubs. You could go for a walk with your dog or visit the local grocery store, buy a bottle of vodka and get wasted and that's what 50% of population did at night. They'd eat a meal and either listen to some music, watch TV, or read a book, while drinking themselves to sleep.

We had a fairly good 10 years before covid that was a nice time to had a baby. Now it's worse but not nearly as bad as it used to be in the 80s.

I love this phrase and it is indeed the thing to do. Instead of continuing to complain about the current conditions, it is better for us to also try to make real changes for ourselves in the midst of this very difficult condition because now if we just keep complaining this will not solve anything.
Do what must be done and of course if we talk about family then it is certain that if indeed you are a man your family becomes your responsibility so complaining is not the right thing to at least set a good example for the family you lead.

This is the reason why a government is encouraging the parents to only bear a child according to the parents’ capability to provide. Because if the mother is consistently bearing a child, the child will not be given enough needs due to prices increasing in all of the basic commodities. If the parents will stick to family planning, I think that will give the kids brighter future because parents can cater to all their needs.

I disagree with the policy of some countries to reduce the number of kids in a family because even after applying it in the long run, those countries are still suffering from the inflation crisis so reducing the population isn't the main solution.
It is the parent's responsibility to sustain their family and to take control of having too much children. The inflation crisis is getting worse but having kids during this time wouldn't be a problem if we have all the means to sustain all their needs. Children aren't a but they're a blessing and our responsibility at the same time.
I agree with you that children are not a source of problems in the family, I have the thought that children are a source of our blessings, I really believe in that and also children are entrusted by God for us to look after and care for. The fact is that nowadays many people have government programs not to have many children are still experiencing problems in their economy, and those who have many children live better (economically).
I see that the OP is more into the angle that children are a source of problems in the family.

Without a doubt family planning is a must these days, gone are the days when a couple could just have as many kids as they want or leave such an important decision to chance, but at the same time we need to remember that accidents do happen, and a couple which only wanted a set number of children may end up with more due to unexpected circumstances, and when that is the case there is no really any other option than to try to earn more money and reduce your expenses.

I think, and this might be a hypothesis at most, that the cost of running a household and a family is inflated by the government and banks on purpose to keep everyone at a certain level of anxiety and panic about surviving. Just enough to make people work extra jobs/overtime and keeping the economy rising higher and higher, but not enough to drive people into madness and angry protest. Its good that the economy is higher each time because that increases the minimal life quality for each person but it takes more and more time away from us and gives us more stress. Both physical and fatigue of the mind.

That is really the problem in society; they still continue to give birth to children even though they don't have jobs or stable income. Mostly this is in third-world countries, and most of the experts say that this is because sex education was not thought of in school, which is true, but still, we people need to think before having a child because of the prices of food today. I only have one child, but I can provide for the needs of my family, but it is just enough, so we still have no plans as to when we will add another child to our family as the cost of taking care a baby is a lot.

The story is analogous in bitcoin, only invest what you can afford to lose. The same thing to raising a family, only bear children what you can afford to raise. He knows inflation is high and money is becoming harder to earn. But your friend continued, choosing to enter the market unprepared by not having a concrete plan. He is now losing and blamed the general economic situation for his own woes.

Responsible parenting includes deciding the number of children and their age intervals according to financial and social capability.

Childbearing is the need as well as the responsibility of each person in maintaining the race, but we should have a plan that suits the family situation. The world cannot be without children, they are the future of the world. You yourself were once a child born to your parents. If you can't raise them, don't give birth to them, having given birth to them, you must be responsible for them like your parents raised you.

If you aren't married yet you have a chance to plan the way you want your family to be, the size especially. Those who are already in the institution of marriage before inflation (especially those with many kids) are feeling the heat more. Things are twice if not thrice expensive as they used to be.
It is important to have a discussion with your spouse about family planning, the economy has reached to the point when couples will have to make that decision,  only have kids that your income can carter for.
Every day the cost of living is high but your salary still remains the same. If you have a large family, it will definitely affect you greatly.

That’s why there is need of passive income along with our fixed job salary. We can not really cop up with the inflation that is going off the chart right now. In fact even without inflation the cost of living life is extremely high. In metropolitan cities the ratio is so high that we need to think twice while buying house or even renting one. In my country they are either managing the small living space or living far away from the city so as to tackle the expenses. Take example of living mumbai. The cost of survival is so high you would end up spending more than 50-60% of salary on monthly basis. This is in relation with average salaries person on the bell curve. Having kids would exhaust everything they have. The solution? Multiple incomes by spending more time on work and less time in sleeping and leisure.

Indians have close family ties so it's possible for members to work together and share expenses. It's a very positive trait for them.

Also do not buy unnecessary things that in the end you wouldn't use. Women today or perhaps wives are just buying anything online but find it a waste when the product finally came. Living far from the city can reduce expenses as rates and food prices are not so high which could be a solution for families to move to the outskirts.

I think overall the income level have rise along with the inflation but yes, if you are talking in terms of last 2 years then it's true for sure. But historically along with incomes the number of people earning that income has increased as well. I feel in just a matter of few years there will be no person who won't be earning. Almost every person who is eligible to work would be working to earn. Moreover I think atleast in major developed and developing countries the status of living has increased as well so all this justifies increased expenses.

I should not judge, but bringing in a new member in the family at a time when the economy is bad will be difficult to cope up with, if not prepared beforehand. The economy was going down gradually but families will keep growing and we just have to keep going on with it. No time will be completely with your side, you just have to adjust.

There are many new families coming up and I do feel sorry for the young ones at this time. Fact is that the appearance of new life should bring in something that is lacking in such times - "HOPE" and that hope is what fuels the families to work harder and find resources to sustain the family.
