I was hooked into this article by the title, and it's an interesting read, until towards the end where they try to rationalize breederism with , "And second, sure, when you look at the cost analysis, having kids isn't strictly rational—but then again, neither are many other things we do."

ninja I think I need to cause some trouble on other forums.... thanks for the article.

I think they drew an interesting correlation between how later in life you have more of your own life. As where if you are a 25 year old parent you do not have much of a life so it is easier to accept and work kids into your life.

stare It is annoying watching my boss succumb to the lie that kids are more rewarding then they really are. Since my boss has kids he cannot focus on his work as much as he likes. Nor can he work all the time. He has to share his video games and has to be conscious of what he buys. Worse of all he has to deal with his kids annoying him when he is working from
home.

I wonder why it took them so long to figure it out. You don't need a study let you know how much they are a financial drain on your resources. My mother can tell you the exact amounts of cash she had to pay just in hospital fees alone for each of her offspring. Which is one of the many reasons I don't want kids.
