I recognised this in your post, but it wasn't yours I quoted.Things can change quickly. We weren't struggling when we decided to start trying for another baby, we had no idea redundancy was around the corner 9 months ago. Things happen that you can't allways control unfortunately
I guess because I know a lot of people in similar situations that would struggle if a large bill came along. No, it's not right, don't dispute that. Just don't know why you'd make it harder. Cost of living is only ever going in one direction, that's not a surprise.I'm not going to flame you I just wonder why that is your first thought rather than why two people with good jobs are struggling so much and have already cut spending to the bone.
there could be many reasons why they are having another child, but my first thoughts are why the duck is it so damn hard for two people who work.
