Having Babies, and Paying for Them

Every culture handles this differently. And after I moved to Costa Rica, I got to see how it is done here.

Like sensible people, they consider money first. Who is going to pay for these adorable creatures everyone wants?

They know the conventional logic: the father supports his children. and their mother, which is fine if the fathers have plenty of money. But what about most of the people? Who can barely afford a pot to piss in?

The answer is clearly to get more money, by hook or crook. Which means most children will be supported by crook.

Their parents would prefer to be respectable, as respectable as it is possible to be. But second-best is good enough.
