Not judging, but is it really worth it?
Are we still doing this. Is it THAT good. Speaking as a guy that's only used condoms.

Came across this tweet tonight. Hilarious, sympathetic, but does it need to be said in 2018? Are we really still doing this? I still don't know how to make polls.

People are stupid. Why is daycare so expensive though?

Is this heterosexual culture?
Not really? Gay dudes could definitely think they're fine just pulling out too. Raw dogging when you're with someone whose sexual history you don't know can be dangerous.

I haven't used a condom in over a decade, but the pull out method is not the only precautions my wife and I take.

Also, as a follow up to that one thread that half of you got REALLY pissed at. THIS is probably an example of parents who love their kid(s), but would probably do things differently if they could. You see how simple and understandable it is?

is this about unwanted pregnancies, im confused
Yes.

Let's just say that there's a reason why people would risk having one of the biggest responsibilities in the world.
18 years and $100,000s good?

Who the hell spends 12k in daycare?
Sounds cheap to me tbh. Must depend on your city and the type of daycare, but my coworkers with kids are paying a bit more than that.
5 days a week, 9 hours a day, 50 weeks, give or take (if they're too young for school) is 2,250 hours. Works out to a bit over $5.50 an hour, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than a nanny would be.

My friend had a kid a few years ago because he was too lazy to get up and get a condom. Thankfully he and his girlfriend seem to be doing a good job parenting and have a good support system, but that always struck me as odd. He had had surgery, and had a cast, but the relationship was new and she gave birth shortly after their one year anniversary.

The idea of spending so much on daycare makes me glad I don't want kids.

Then again the first time I had sex when I was young, I didn't have a condom and planned to pull out. Thankfully nothing bad happened.

There are other forms of birth control and you don't have to do it with people who are cool with unplanned pregnancies if said other forms inexplicably fail.

$7 a day here in Canada... Figure we just give the kids some smokes and pepperoni sticks and have Trailer park boys playing.

In Quebec we have government subvention run daycares that cost 7$ a day per kids. So for a year it's about 2000$.

Pulling out combined with a condom and birth control still has a chance of pregnancy (granted a low chance) so pulling out alone is risk for sure.
