Yea that's pretty fucked up. Both my parents were working when I was growing up as well, though thanks to and extended Italian family there was never a shortage of baby sitters, hahah.

No words truer spoken, from learning how to handle that money properly to how others change in their perception/treatment of you.

This is exactly what we're dealing with to which we have finally given up. We wanted to raise our daughter ourselves instead of some daycare full of strangers that most likely don't have the same set of beliefs as we do.
Sure, I truly wish I would have thought about all this way back in high school so I could have properly prepared for life by going to college right out of high school and potentially had the type of job that would permit my wife to stay at home. Unfortunately that's far from reality.
We have finally made the decision that my wife will have to go back to work and hopefully her sister will watch our daughter. With her having two little ones of her own though, it may not materialize. I've tried so hard to not give in to the fact that it just won't work. This was one of many reasons that I was extremely disappointed when I heard my wife was pregnant because I knew with me JUST starting school, we won't be anywhere near financially stable for at least the first 5 years after school and that was even a stretch considering my income level isn't anywhere near a top level paying job. I told her that keeping this baby would completely fubar everything and it has.
So we are now moving for the 3 time in 4 years not totally because of my wife deciding to keep the child because, honestly, we have been completely and utterly irresponsible with our finances up to the point when she said she was pregnant.
Parts of me would like to deprive my children of a fun childhood because, in my experience, when you have a really fun childhood like mine, it's all downhill from there.

It's too bad society in general couldn't do this as I whole heartedly agree with what they believe. Society as a whole has reached a plateau that I don't see us breaking through
The only thing that I see progressing today is technology and materialism. The arts have been dead for at least 20 years now. Music is a complete joke now. No one has time to focus on personal expression and finding life's meaning because they're too caught up with personal appearance, social status, and making money to be able to improve their self image plus social status. It's a never ending cycle of greed and self degradation.
Everyone has taken the bait from the capitalists hook, line, and sinker and we have no one to blame but ourselves. We kept demanding material items to be bigger, faster, better, and especially cheaper. Cheaper and cheaper things got, the greedy capitalist didn't care if it meant taking jobs away from their own countrymen and women. They knew that outsourcing was the key to success so being the capitalists that they are pounced on it.
Society as a whole is in need of a renaissance that won't ever happen because we saw what the hippy movement caused and we can't have people thinking so freely now can we?

only one's to blame are ourselves. Nobody knows how to be happy anymore with the simple things in life. Going to the baseball game, watching your REGULAR 24" TV, not your $5k flatscreen piece of shit that breaks in 2 yrs. It's frikken pathetic. Kids have to have $80 jeans from Abercrombie, and the parents are so fucking stupid they'd assume buy the kid 2 pairs of expensive pants instead of a whole frikken' wardrobe on sale, God forbid your kid isnt the best dressed in his class. Meanwhile your family stays broke and the kid is gonna end up in jail anyways. It's fucked up. People driving around cars that cost as much as homes now, and no money to take a vacation w/ their family once/yr. And cell phones, dont even get me started on this bullshit craze. People who are making $7/hr as a grocery clerk are carrying around a $500 cell phone now. Everybody wants bigger and better, all the time. That's America for you. Other countries are laughing at us and our materialistic ways. All we care about is money, materialistic shit, and have no quality of life what so ever. Oh yeah, dont forget the fast food too. Going to McDonalds 3x /day is also a nice part of our shit lifestyle 95% of us condone. Fuck all that crap, just let me pay my bills, spend time with my family, appreciate what I have, and be able to exercise. Thats all I need
