Participant[quote=CA renter]I’ve never heard of a single instance where a man took a more dangerous job **after** having children, solely (even largely) because he had children. Are there any statistics to back up his claim?[/quote]
Maybe you’ve been hanging around a different crowd than I have.
Back in my Army days I met a LOT of people who enlisted so they could support their families … because they were guaranteed some degree of financial and physical security. Don’t try to say they were overgrown boys playing soldier, because many of them did jobs that were dangerous, dirty, and exhausting even in peacetime.
Most of them came from decaying Corn Belt and Rust Belt towns with no economic opportunities to speak of. Many of them said they’d do just about any kind of work if it enabled them to support their families … one even volunteered: “I’d hang chickens if it paid enough!”
So there, you have your single instance. If you want statistics, I’ll be glad to do a study if you come up with the funding π

ParticipantHmmm, maybe get an estimate for pool abandonment, put the money for demo into a repair escrow … then use the funds to fix the pool later?

ParticipantI’ve been very pleased with the Whirlpool front-loading washer/dryer set I bought five years ago.
A bit disappointed in the Maytag dishwasher though.
