To tell you the truth, the only thing that annoys him is that I am very responsible and a neat freak. The only time he is nice to me is when I pay my rent on time and in full.

That is tragic! Problem is there are FAR too many of these thoughtless and inconsiderate "people" roaming around today. The worst part is that popular culture is at the root of the massive increase of numbers of them.

I know the feeling. It sure feels like the "right people" are waiting longer and longer to have kids. By the time they've finished college and grad school, established a career, got married, have decent health insurance, and enough assets to properly raise a child, they're already in their 30's and old enough that any pregnancy would be "high risk".
But if a couple isn't married, doesn't have a career, and have no assets, the taxpayer will fund them. If you want to know how bad it is, just look at this map:

To me, it's just mind boggling how many incentives there are for the poor to have kids and how many disincentives there are for the middle class.
Before the 1920s childbirth was a natural thing. Then the AMA made it a medical procedure and forced midwives out of the picture.
Taxpayers paying for a low income childbirth marginally benefit the mother and child, in that there are interventions if there's some mid-delivery crisis. (And we shouldn't punish the infant for being born poor.) The real beneficiaries are the doctors and medical establishment.

Do you know that women died all the time when their childbirth went wrong?

Not to mention the babies.
Here many Amish do not go to the hosiptal, instead have "Birthing Centers" to have their babies. I'm not sure is the fatility rate is up for either mother or baby tho.

The Idiocracy is alive and well these days. Think of all the dirty diapers filling landfills from kids that won't ever have a chance to make anything of themselves. That's an environmental nightmare.
Wow, your right.. thats alot of diapers..
