BEFORE YOU RISK:

Have Children

No license is required to have kids. From riding in a car seat to driving the car, our children are with us for the rest of our lives. Babies grow into toddlers into pre-schoolers into children into tweens into teens into young adults into full-grown men and women. You must be willing to ride it all the way through.

You can’t exchange them or return them for a refund. (The current average cost for raising a child until she’s 18 is around a quarter million dollars.) You might want to try but it ain’t happening!

    I am at a turning point in my life. I will soon be thirty, and want to have a third child. I am married, work full time, have two elementary aged children, and I am pursuing a bachelors degree. At this time I am not able to be a stay at home mom. My husband, and family members feel that we are not in the position financialy to have a third child. I agree but dont want to regret the choice not to have another child when I am sixty.
