If we were rational, when you made that decision to have a child, you expected the payback to be greater than the sacrifices.
Same goes with a car. When you bought that $30,000 you expected the NPV of the utility of the car be $30,000 or greater, at the time purchase. Of course, there is no guarantee. You may buy a lemon… and if you bought a lemon, you’ll likely want reparation from the seller.
But when you have kids, you can’t sue anyone if, in restropect, it was an economically unfavorable deal.[/quote]
How many parents do you know that thought about the payback before having children?
