    Yeah, the original Star Trek movies set a high bar that the next generation movies didn't really meet.

    I know several people who quit working because their job barely made enough money to cover the cost of daycare.

    A buddie's wife did exactly this. They spent her entire check on day care every month. So she quit and took care of the kid. Unfortunately, the problem arose that when the kiddo went to school and no longer needed day care she didn't care to go back to work. This caused some tension.

    It's got to be hard taking 3-4 years off work and going back into the grind. Your skills have atrophied and you're really off your career track.


    and no employer will want you because they'll assume you could drop another one out at any given moment and they'll be stuck with maternity pay

    untrue.

    even this being the case it's better to do that than have a 5+ year gap in your employment history

    like, good luck getting another job if you're still of breeding age ma'am

    It's not exactly sensible to go back to work after the child is in school anyhow. Kids need things frequently - having one parent be on call for the kid emergencies while the other one can reliably work is a good model.

    that seems a bit excessive

    Daycare around here is over $1500 a month. It's going to be more than our mortgage...

    That post is serious like whoa ffffffffffffffffff

    the new hyperbole and a half pretty much perfectly sums up my emotional state at the moment

    not like, dead like I have been for the majority of the past 6 years, but angry and sad that I didn't really accomplish anything for most of my life since turning 18

    I think anger and sadness is an improvement but Idk, maybe need meds. Mostly angry because men aren't supposed to be sad and that makes me mad

    depression is really weird, when nearly homeless and no serious outlook for the future being anything but shitty retail jobs I felt nothing and now that I have a job with huge upward mobility potential for a great company and am relatively close to graduating college with a manageable (if high) amount of debt I feel miserable quite frequently

    I know several people who quit working because their job barely made enough money to cover the cost of daycare.

    yeah I mean daycare for us is cheap, like 800/mo

    it can be much more expensive in other parts of the country

    and that doesnt count food and diapers and clothes and toys and doctor visits and all the shit you have to buy like cribs and car seats

    800/month is wayyyy out of the range of common folk

    I just asked the guy next to me with a baby. He pays 1300 a month for his day care. Good lord why do you people do this to yourselves?

    God, you have to be six figure ballin' to afford a baby these days.

    This is probably the plan to keep white people breeding enough to not have America speaking Spanish in ten years.

    #SeanHannity

    except, probably less than 5% of white people make that much?

    Right, just the good ones.

    it's also crazy expensive to throw a whole persons income away so someone can be on call if the school nurse calls

    premature e[chat]ulation?

    I have $150 in Amazon cards so it comes out to free

    Looks cheap. You are not likely to find anything better for less. See if there is a cheaper model without the speakers that are undoubtedly horrendous.

    I wouldn't use them, naturally. As far as I can tell they don't make it without the speakers.

    Having one parent ALWAYS on call.

    Why? You're always on call for the first 16 years or so anyway. With the added bonuses of having a parent at home to manage homework and otherwise raise the kids from 3PM until bedtime, why not dedicate that + the inevitable daytime emergencies (small and large) to one parent?

    It's a reasonable decision to make.

    like my mom yells at me because my life over the last 12 months has taken such an enormous upward swing financially and career wise in such a short period of time, if my august evaluation goes well I could make more money next year than my entire life put together before that

    so why the fuck am I sad about all the other shit that is no worse than it was previously, it's like before there wasn't any hope at all of anything ever getting better now that things are getting better I can actually feel shitty

    It's like there's an emotional scale and once you fall below zero you can't even feel upset about your situation because its so bad and climbing up actually feels like going down
