I suppose I do have some pity for people who could afford the children when they had them, but rising fuel and food costs mean they have to lower their standard of living. I'm not going to say anything about the cost of living US vs UK because it's apples and oranges. And on the internet there is no difference in nationality anyway.
So I have some pity, but not an awful lot. If you want children and you had children then you love your children and would do anything for them.
Children don't need to be pampered to be loved. They deal with shortages better than adults, as long as they feel secure. Nothing wrong with having 8 children, just don't whine about it. Kids get picked up for school in the US don't they? Every other trip is elective (in a harsh world I mean!)
