I'll Tell You My Opinion

@Introvertish20 so what is mentally/physically/emotionally/financially secure to you? I get it totally, but I'm struggling with the exact point that someone's situation goes from secure to a bad environment to bring up children. I really don't think it's that black and white...

@Starsandfire what exactly are you asking me? Being secure in all of these areas won't gaurantee a child's success. But it will greatly improve the odds of them being successful and it's completely irresponsible to think you can raise a child otherwise.

@Introvertish20 I just think there are so many grey areas where this subject is concerned. To me, there isn't a point where someone can say "that person can have a child" or "that person can't" because there are so many variables. But I am from a different background and can only go with what I know. For example, my parents never had a lot of money and worked hard, we were all loved and brought up well. I'm not particularly financially secure and I do have anxiety, but my baby will want for nothing and be as happy as I can make it. I think a lot of it might be to do with education and lack of/lack of opportunity.
