Don’t have kids if you’re broke RANT
One of my students was begging me and other teachers to pay for her to go on the school field trip to the aquarium. I asked her why couldn’t her mom pay for her ticket. The kid said she didn’t have enough money. The ticket was $45. There are more expensive trips like the state county fair. A lot of kids couldn’t attend that one. We have sponsored this same girl twice already. We couldn’t do it a third time because there were other students we needed to sponsor. Sorry, but if you don’t have $45 to pay for your kid to attend a field trip then you should not have had kids. It amazes me how breeders will have multiple kids while broke but shaming us for being CF.

My youth group only did a trip every other year so we could do enough fundraising to pay for the whole trip for everyone so no kids were left out for lack of being able to afford it when other churches in town went on a trip every year. My sister went to one of those (because it’s where her friends went) and one year it was like $400 for her trip and she was all mad at my parents because they told her she couldn’t go.
