Sprog Popping

This really is going out to all the single people and couples who never want kids.

Do you think it's fair that all of us childless people pay for these people that want to produce babys to this ****ed world.

quote:

"In 2012 Child Benefit is €140 per month for each of the first two children. From 1 Jaunary 2012 the rate for the third child is €148 and for the 4th and each subsequent child is €160. "

Should people get rules for not producing sprogs , like china or japan.

And before u say it im not talking about people that live in caravans.

Don't trolls have children?

Deus Ex Machina

I've always thought that some people really don't think about the cost of having a child. It is said that the cost of raising a child to the age of 21 costs roughly 250 grand.

It probably wouldn't be a financially responsible decision for a struggling couple to buy a Ferrari 458 Italia with a 21 year mortgage, but at least in that case the car can be scrapped at the end of this time instead of breaking into houses and shooting up heroin.

Child Benefit is not means tested in Ireland, is it?

Children are trolls. They should be seen not heard.

Should people who don't drive have to pay for the roads?

Should people who don't commit crime have to pay for the police?

Should normal boards users have to pay for bridges?

Well the way I see it, a baby boom in Ireland may cost the exchequer money now, but it means when I eventually get to retire hopefully they'll all be supporting me. So I say more shagging.

Pfffft. 140 a month isn't gonna go far with a sprog - might just about cover nappies, if you buy them in Aldi.

Should people who don't drink have to pay for all the drunk ones in A&E over the weekend. Cos they cost the country a huge amount in more than just hospital costs.

Paparazzo

Pity your mother and father didn't think like you op.

mr_edge_to_you

Well when my child grows up and gets a job she'll paying for your old age pension and medical card.

Is that all kids do these days?

The old-age pension is about €800 a month, those children will eventually be paying that when you are old.

No, Yes, And only if the troll under it demands payment.

We drinkers do pay for it given the high duties on drink.

I think it's disgraceful.
How do I get out of paying for these small children that insist on following me about and call me mom?
We should all just stop funding the brats.
Vive le revolution.
Whoo!!

I used to live in town, and the crowds would pi$$ me off - people in the way all the feckin time and all I wanted was to get a pint of milk.
So I'd ram them all down with the buggy, like moses and that sea, and then smile sweetly and say 'sorry' to anyone that gave me an indignant look.

It was because of this that I knew I'd have dreadful road rage when I learnt to drive.
And sure enough I did/do.

I don't have an issue with child benefit etc, what I do have a problem with is it being assumed in my job that I will be taking some time off to have kids and being passed over for promotion because of it or else not being paid the same as a male for doing the same job.

Hard thing to prove but we all know it happens.

HOWEVER, I understand why it happens but I would like it marked down on my file please no children now treat me like a man in the office please!

I also feel that women who want to have kids should not be teachers I think the maternity leave interferes with the childs education, it happened in my school we always had crappy stand in teachers while one teacher in particular was on constant maternity leave.

Rant over

Maybe some type of maternity contract could be drawn up, whereby you sign a promise not to get pregnant, and if you do, they get to sue you?

Seriously. It'd definitely stop some hoors from riding the system.

I really think we should all consider detonating a huge nuclear bomb. It's humans that are the real cause of the financial problems and if we take humans out of the equation then the problem is fixed.

Can you put in a no emigration clause there so we can take your word at the gospel truth? :P

That's actually weird - I have a friend who's a teacher - managed to get pregnant so she'd be due in September- gets extended maternity leave - goes back in May for two weeks (communion time - so no real work) and off for the summer. She went back to work this September - met her there a few weeks ago and she's pregnant again - when is she due? That's right, end of September.
It's crazy!

Possibly or else reduced maternity leave benefits.

Seems too much like a compromise... Some people might even call it fair.

I say we crucify the child seconds after it's born.

She won't be doing that again.

Yeah burn all the children I say.

I wonder though,since i'm 28,would employers really be reluctant to take me on because they assume I want to start up a conveyor belt of babies?

OP needs to have a good look round and put the blame where it belongs.

Kurz

It's killing me. I wish I could pump out money like I pump out babies and potential babies. It's almost as if there's a biological system functioning that doesn't prioritise economics.

I suspect FF wanted child benefit for their own sprogs too. Can't be easy raising kids on the 100's of thousands they got in salary and expenses and perks each year. So why hasn't super enda sorted this yet?

I wouldn't be too quick in "Pilot-ing" kids..............
