You're the one wanting someone else to pay for your one/two income decision.

That sounds selfish to me.



Ummm... the way the world moves forward is through having children. What's your alternative?

More seriously though, I 100% like the decision to have children.

1. I'm a father of two. I work, and my wife stays home.

2. An alternative would be both of us working, except for my wife stops working for a while when our kids are born.

3. Another alternative would be both of us working, and paying for child care.

Each of these have trade-offs. But whatever way we go, I'm not selfish enough to force everyone to pay for my decision.
