Pose the question this way, to not look like a jerk:

I'm not intending to criticize these people for their very personal decision, but I'm wondering if YOU were in this situation, would you continue to have kids? Why or why not? What factors would sway your decision to have kids/ adopt/ stop having children?

Pretty sure it's the couple's private decision to make.

And its my private decision to mock their public request for funds

5/29/15 11:31am

That's true in most cases, but if the couple knows they are going to have to

I don't disagree, but I'm not going to soapbox and tell other people to not have

The entire point is that the family cannot financially handle this. I don't

And my entire point is that it's not your business.

Why have kids at all? You know they are going to have heartbreak and trials.

Well it is humanity's prime directive.

An entirely uncontrollable impulse. I see.

SandYFan

5/29/15 11:35am

Hmmmmmmmm, didn't see where I said that, but okay.

Yes, yes you are.

Maybe.

SandYFan

5/29/15 11:53am

Exactly. And then post in FO why these people are stupid for having kids.

5/29/15 11:53am

lets ask your parents next time we see them

BlueFrog

Wow, no need to get nasty.

SandYFan

It's a fair question. A family I was working with last night brought this up

Meant for OP

Apparently it's question that provokes angry responses from some.
