As a father of 3, I miss those days when I made decisions withou

much concern.  To be responsible parents, we have to scheme plans for the future for our kids.  Undoubtedly, it is easy to give birth to a kid but the kid can only grow up in the environment given by the kid's parent(s).  I remember reading somewhere the average cost to raise up a kid is approximately $250k.  I believe the amount of money is financial burden to most if not all teenager moms not from affluent family.
