    Millions of working women are putting off motherhood because it would cost too much


    How millions of women are putting off motherhood because it costs too much money | Mail Online
    By Daily Mail Reporter

    Millions of women are shelving plans to start a family because they can't afford it, according to research released today.

    A study found more than half of women who would like to have children claim a lack of money is the main reason they have delayed becoming a mum.

    In fact, nine out of ten admit they would struggle to cope financially without their wage.

    Two thirds feared their career wouldn't be the same again if they took time out to bring up a baby.

    As a result, eight out of ten women are waiting until they are older before having children because they are trying to achieve as much as they can before giving it all up.

    A spokeswoman for Mumpoll.com, which carried out the research, said: 'In this modern day and age it is not unusual for the woman to be earning just as much as the man, if not more, in a normal relationship.

    'Many women who have carved out successful careers for themselves have come to rely on the benefits of two decent wages.

    'So it stands to reason that the thought of losing 50 per cent or more of the family's earning because the women stops work, all be it temporarily, to have a child can be a put off.

    'Add to that the fear that women feel like they are taking a step down the career ladder when they have kids, it's no wonder more and more women are leaving starting a family until well into their thirties.'

    The poll shows the majority don't believe they would be financially comfortable until after the age of 30.

    And the average woman would like to be earning in excess of £30,000 a year before considering taking time out.

    But 61 per cent say it would help if their partner had a better job, and as such brought home a more respectable salary.

    In addition to the money factor, 31 per cent of women are worried about leaving work because someone else might get ahead of them on the career ladder.

    And 16 per cent are worried their work colleagues will lose sight of their abilities, and lose respect for them, once they had children.

    But nearly half of all working women acknowledge it would be impossible for them to continue their job as effectively after having children.

    The Mumpoll spokeswoman continued: 'The harsh reality is that while mums don't lose their talent or enthusiasm for a job after having children, their priorities shift.

    'So while women might have every intention of returning to work full time and working their way back up the career ladder, once the baby has been born they find it more difficult than they first thought.'

    But 67 per cent of working women polled admit they are already broody and often think about having a baby.

    Four in 10 envy others who have managed to detach themselves from their career to start a family, and 47 per cent resent men for being able to do both - have a good career and a family at the same time.

    At the moment, 89 per cent of career women fully intend to return to work after having their first child, taking the statutory nine months off. Of these, 45 per cent envisage returning to work full time.


    What they fell to realize is that Motherhood in general cost too much.
    I suppose its safe to rule out that the writers of that article are flaming idiots who have some serious catching up to do!

    There you have it guys, evidence that in the opinion of a very large proportion of the female population, men just can't win. They rely us on to be continually working harder and harder to fund their choices of having children and a comfortable lifestyle, while at the same time they resent us for doing exactly that.

    And why do so many women fail to understand that if having a career and a family at the same time is such a near impossibility for them, it must be exactly the same for men? Why can't they see that devoting yourself full-time to earning as much as possible - which they demand of men - means that you have to sacrifice time with your children? Why is that a cause for frustration for women, but at the same time a cause for resentment against men?

    No wonder relationships are so bad when women indulge in such screwy, selfish thinking.

    Ah well, Paul. You see, It isn't impossible for men but men don't 'care' as much as women do. Men are so busy having fun at work with the boys and stopping women from joining in after work fun that men just don't undertand how unfair it is for women. Men have always denied women even the ability to see the fun that men have. Women DEMAND the fun at work that men have that men keep hidden from them.

    Added to that women demand what men have , almost. They have never been really keen on doing the dangerous and the dirty, the stressful and the poisonous work and never been keen on supporting another adult. That is all 'men's work'. Not that there is such a thing as men's work, of course. That's just a men's way of dominating.

    Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum
    Love the Sinner but not the Sin.
    (St. Augustine)

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
    against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. “
    (and within ourselves)
    (Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

    A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.
    If you meet one on the road as you Go your Own Way,
    offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.
    (Me)

    Bullshit...

    As soon as they have a baby, they see just how freaking easy it is to claim strength, empowerment, and you-go-grllll-isms from their coffee calls and play dates, they never want to go back...

    Notice that a percentage of THOSE TYPES of women isn't even on the radar....

    Wonders of wonders.

    And how did I come to this conclusion you ask? Because I did it for many years (worked from home) and I never wanted to head back to an office again once I got a taste of it. Of course, I inevitably didn't really have a choice once they were in school....

    I've been seeing a lot of this theme lately, and it's making me wonder about how mature these women can really be. Resentment just seems so childish.

    It's no surprise that the population in feminist dominated countries are declining! In another thread, there's talk of male birth control. This will further reduce those "accidental" pregnancies.

    That's the thing, the trollops don't want to reduce the rate of happy accidents because it reduces their chances of taking Mr. Popular to the cleaners!

    That's why it's taken so long for male birth control to appear. This will be another nail in their coffin. I bet they will make up more false rapes to punish the evil men! His best defense is still celibacy.

    Indeed it is!
    You know, there is a Chinese proverb "Each generation will reap what the former has sown." Well, I'm not reaping shit!!!!
    I didn't pour billions dollars down a bottomless hole to turn women into self hating prostitutes who peddle fraud and lie for profit. I didn't start a nationwide network that whispers poison to little girls so they'd hate their fathers and worship their mothers. They're misery is not on my hands and I will go to the grave without their calamities on my conscience!

    I'm putting off motherhood until my boyfriend and I get married, plus have lived together as a couple on our own. We want to be able to travel and just enjoy each other. You can't take kids on long vacations or have sex on the dining room table for the hell of it.

    People don't give themselves a chance to grow as a couple, then wonder why problems start. You can have the prettiest home ever but if it's on a bad foundation, it won't be very good down the road.

    Exactly!

    Italy is definitely declining, which is quite odd since Italy is known for being more romantic and pro-family. It has to be the root of feminism. Not that we need everyone woman to pop out 7 kids but more and more people are being childless.

    Feminism is doing just want bilderberg is after. The smaller the population, the better to control.

    I have noticed two things about this article.
    1:It's all about how " Women are making the desscion" to put off having children alone
    2:But there is one very cirtical factor that's being hushed up and that is the marriage strike by men, more and more men are opting out of marrage because more and more men are realizing it's a fucking death trap for them because women are such bitches and will take the man for everything, his house, his money and most imporant of all his children when she becomes borad of him and what a new and more " Exciting " man in her life after she has pissed away her best years in partying it up and whoring around with thug boys.
    When the femanazis tell me it's their way or the highway I tell them to fuck off and die, because at lest the highway leads to new and intresting places, their ways is a dead end.

    He will be at risk of losing it all. Ill never marry and have been told by others to never marry. Even if I met Mrs. Right, no marriage is worth the risks as there's no benefit for the male. I might trust the woman, but I certainly don't trust the broken marriage laws.

    People don't give themselves a chance to grow as a couple
    I won't be given a chance anytime soon, if ever in this lifetime due to feminism. I have accepted this and know that men can live a happy life without (human) women. You and your boyfriend are lucky you found each other. There's way too few decent women.

    Immigrants will move in those countries, bringing their patriarchy with them. It's a good thing feminists aren't breeding and are being replaced.

    Im hoping my own brother goes on marriage strike. He's a lawyer and thinks he knows the laws. I warned him that the law is full of loopholes to screw over men. I really do worry for him.
    Men will not be truly free until they become sexually and reproductively independent of women. Technology, such as virtual reality and robots/sexbots/robogirls will free men and end feminism.

    women are forever idealistic, and will forever find themselves trapped by their greed and self-indulgence..

    If they want kids, they have to decide what is more important, having kids or living an expensive and indulgent lifestyle. Many women miss out on children because they prioritise the indulgence at the time when they are most suitable breeding material..

    Demand for women over 25 in the breeding stakes is pretty low and by the age of 30 most of them have already priced themselves out of the market..

    Women have the problem in that their careers start to pick up round about the time when they are best suited for breeding, when they become overly career orentated, they are no really desirable as breeders anyway..

    Plus, the average 30 year woman is too over-ridden anyway, no gent of integrity would choose the village bike when he can pick a nice under 25 who is relatively unscathed by the scarring of too much "life experience"..

    A woman can rapidly drop value as a breeder within a matter of no more than a few years, for many reasons..

    Aging does not do them any favours!

    it is also one of the biggest myths of modern times that children are "expensive".. Anyone who knows what the state hands out to mothers, will know that its pretty much a meal ticket for a life of luxury!

    As a experienced father, I can say with some authority that the best women for breeding are the 20-25 year olds, beyond that, it is hard to imagine what use they can be, they go seriously rotten by the age of 30 and you dont really want to be living with them the way they are by then, even if they have managed to keep in good shape, their mental attitudes are usually so fucked up you can do much with themm

    How will he lose it all? I am not like these gold digging hoochies or a feminist. For me, marriage is a serious thing. It's not just a wedding and a reception. It's bringing together two families and joining as one. I know that is a bit old fashioned but that is how I feel. It is a shame that feminism has destroyed the sanctity of marriage.



    I won't be given a chance anytime soon, if ever in this lifetime due to feminism. I have accepted this and know that men can live a happy life without (human) women. You and your boyfriend are lucky you found each other. There's way too few decent women.
    Not every woman is a feminist and after to criminalize you. Realize that feminism is trying to seperate us. You are doing exactly what they want.


    Immigrants will move in those countries, bringing their patriarchy with them. It's a good thing feminists aren't breeding and are being replaced.
    The feminists are only apart of the problem. Feminism is a tool of the bilderberg.
