No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I would love to have children to be honest but I can't afford it.
I love to make children, having them is what I dont like.
Having children is free, the raising them part is where they get you.
Well in North America they charge you like crazy for medical support with a birth
Only if you want a higher chance at survival; plenty of births going on all around the world "at home" or with minimal medical support, and on average they still work out... on average.
I have a child and it's the best thing that ever happened to me, but I totally understand because children are expensive. If you think it costs a lot to feed your dog, imagine having to pay a premium on that to feed them on top of paying for diapers and that's just for the first couple of years.
Don't have kids if you can't afford to give them a decent life.
