    “Raising a kid is work” Its also voluntary lol.

    That’s like saying payments on your car financing are voluntary.

    Once you have made the decision the consequences are no longer voluntary.

        Ah, I remember distinctively how I got up in the morning and decided voluntarily to have a call from daycare “we’re closed today”. And I decided how my mother had a stroke and died, who would’ve taken the kids under those circumstances 😅👍

        Agreed. But this does not make the consequences voluntary. If it’s your kid, you have to raise it.

        At the extreme, child neglect is a jailable offence.
