    A child costs far less than 1500€/mo until they go for higher education. And at that point, if their uni is close enough from house, costs wont dramatically increase. In what world does a single child cost you 1.500€ a month?

        I paid less 800€ a month for a nanny up to my children entering school, 100€ a month of food for three of them and 20€ for clothes. There’s no health insurance as it’s provided by our country and extra is paid by employer, no dental costs and who the fuck cares about piano? The most expensive thing I had to pay for them was to have a single room at the hospital when I gave birth and that was 1.200€ for the whole stay including medical acts. And even if my kids decided to play piano, the conservatory is owned by the city and costs a mere 100€ a quarter? The most expensive activity my children do is ride horses and that’s 75€ a month down the street.

        in china your retired parents live in your house and provide the daycare and tell you what to do with your furniture and act like complete dicks and make you think about burning the house down

        It’s not because your system is screwed and intended to bankrupt people and hinder women with their lives by keeping them at home that everyone else’s is.
