Do you think people have babies for the wrong reasons?

Question

Answer

If you're having a baby 1.)for the tax breaks 2.)to keep getting welfare 3.)to get child support from someone better off financially then you or 4.)to "save" a relationship, then yeah, you are totally having a baby for the wrong reason.

Answer

Some do, there was a show on a couple years back about a family that continued having kids to get more money off of the government, and that was their ONLY reason. It was really sad actually.

Answer

Some people do.

I mean, let's face it, if you're reproducing, you're doing so for selfish reasons. But you should at least try to make sure your kids aren't suffering because of your selfishness.

(General 'you')

Answer

Sometimes.

I was due in January and it seemed like sooooo many women were hoping to have their baby early ( in December) so they would be able to claim the child on their taxes. I could help but shake my head at them.

Answer

I think some do, yes.

Answer

Not all people don't get me wrong but some definitely do.

I know someone who openly admits she got pregnant so the father had to pay her in child support as he was far wealthier than her.

Answer

My brother in law and his wife decided they wanted to have a baby right away after getting married, they'd only been together a year when they got married. Not that it matters! But the reasoning was "we want to have a baby in 2015 so when we do our taxes we have another dependent, so we get a bigger refund. We want to buy a house and when else do you get a huge chunk of money but tax time?" That to me is having a baby for the wrong reasons.
