Kids

The other day I was at a department store and saw a mother with three children, ranging in age from two to about seven. My first thought was to run the other way. The second thought was of the article "The Mommy Tax". In short, it is how women that decide to be mothers have to pay a price, a pretty large price at that. It has been found that overall mother will lose about a million dollars in their lifetime. This is not to mention the cost of raising the child and sending them to college. And let's not forget about those gadgets that they absolutely have to have such as the newest and latest version of the smartphone which has the best voice recognition software and the best internet phone services. Mothers and anyone who has to take care of children do not get enough credit. A lot of people do not understand that having kids means that you have to be a doctor, a nurse, a full cleaning crew, a plumber, a cook, and occasionally, the fun pony to ride. This is why I think that sometime in everyone's life, people need to have a job that involves being responsible for children, aka more than two. This means being the person that those kids rely on to keep them safe and from doing any dumb things. Maybe then there will be more understanding and even some change.
