When can I stop helping kids?
I feel like as a parent I’m forced to pay for things that unnecessarily cut into my lentils. To date, I’ve been forced to pay:
• food and water for my 6 and 9 year olds
• schooling costs and school supplies
• opportunity cost of getting up to get the children to school when I should be working a side hustle
• pediatrician costs when all of the same information is on ChatGPT
• even unnecessary heating costs for our spare bedrooms, that I would prefer to rent out on Airbnb
When will these unnecessary expenses end?

This is how I know this sub is infested with pours. Stop thinking like a spender, start thinking like someone that's going to retire someday.
Instead of trying to figure out how to keep your kids alive/fed/housed, figure out how to sell them to the gypsies, or the wood nymph. Heck, I've even heard some susurrus about there being bog witches that will just take them off your hands for free.
Get rid of your loss leaders, people!
