@bolded,are you speaking specifically of her situation or are you saying people shouldn't have children at this period?

Joavid:
both.

especially any family earning less than 6 figures in a month.

People must procreate.There's a limit to holding off being pregnant.People want to wed and have babies and not everyone will wait till they see 6 figures.

Joavid:
yea right.

y'all should keep multiplying poverty, contributing to overpopulation and destroying the country in the process.

Joavid:
family= husband and wife's joint income being nothing less than six figures.

She has a point you know,

crackhaus:
Mindfulness, what say you?

I don't know why I'm eager to read the unconventional response you might bring here.

Mindfulness:
LOL @unconventional

I wonder what kind of contraceptives people use that fail them.

crackhaus:
Shiit happens na..

So... to terminate, or not to terminate?

Mindfulness:
I don't know. I don't have enough info about their situation but since she mentioned that she wants the best for her son, I would say that the best for her son is to have a sibling.

You ehn...
You should be a politician, Hilary Clinton has nothing on you.

When she mentioned she wants what's best for her son, I thought she meant providing everything necessary for him alone without having to share the scarce resources among two kids.

Mindfulness:


I would consider this option but I don't like to be in the spotlight.




This is why I said that I don't know enough about their situation but her husband won't be jobless forever and the little boy's clothes, his buggy and his toys can be passed onto the younger one so the investment in a second baby won't cost as much as it did for the first child.

Children are not so materialistic. If you satisfy their basic needs, all they want is fun, fun and more fun and so a sibling comes in handy. And as we grow up, the bond we share with our siblings is priceless.

5minsmadness:
Yes.
And they will suffer the consequences.

Ohhh, good you explained better.. I was of the opinion you meant the usual 6-figure we all know - 1,000,000 and above, then I was going to ask how many people earn above 1,000,000Naira every month.

thorpido:
Hmmm,they are not but they place a big demand on time and attention and those basic needs don't come cheap.

crackhaus:
I agree totally.

I can't quite remember if you were on that thread sometime ago where some of your friends where of the opinion that having just one kid isn't a big deal and then supporting it with all kinds of selfish emotional logic without once considering how the child might actually need to have a sibling.

This is a relief.

Mindfulness:
They demand less time and attention when they have siblings they can play with, don't they? You just need to intervene when they fight one of their battles.

thorpido:
Everyone who has a child suffers for it?


I know you guys are thinking about people who are poor,can barely feed themselves and have kids but I was talking about people who are capable and want their offsprings.Noone should deny them that.

5minsmadness:
But this thread is about people who cant afford to have more kids.

thorpido:
Crackhaus that's actually 7 figures.

Mindfulness:
I wouldn't say that they need siblings but it's nice to have some.

I got married three years ago and had a sixteen month old son whom I loves so much. Everything was going on fine until hubby lost his job and the family started depend on my petty business for survival.
I never gave him a reason to worry over his joblessness but discovering that am pregnant despite using contraceptive is killing me.
He want me to keep the baby but am total against it.
I know this is a trying period and things will be better but having another child under this circumstantances is what I can't deal with.
Tell me, am I wrong to opt for abortion?
Am I wrong to place my little boy before any other thing?
Ur advise will help me make the right decision.
