Should you need a license to have children? Should it be possible to lose that license?

It might sound drastic to her, but she must not have seen the parents and children we've seen. I think there should be some sort of law put into effect or something. My dad rented out his house to a couple that had 6 kids, the oldest one is 10, and the mom goes and whores herself out at a local truck stop for money, and she collects welfare and insurance from the state for all of her children, yet keeps getting pregnant...SHE SHOULD BE STOPPED!!!

Would it ever occur to you that some people DONT WANT TO have kids? Not everyone is out there wanting to just be a baby machine. Some people want to have a career or travel and have other priorities that do not include having children.\n\nAnd just because you decide to not have children does not mean you should stay single. Doesn't everyone deserve to be happy?\n\nNot everyone should have children - should someone who is addcited to crack (but is married) have kids? Uhhh probably not.\n\nDon't be so closed minded.

I think if you are going to have kids and work then you need to have plans for when you kids get sick.  It's part of being a grown up! What if your child was sick and he needed to see his doc, but the doc's kid was sick so he was not there to help your kid.  Don't work if you can't handle work and a family.  Sorry...

No don't get married not legally anyways(no license) because your sweet wife will turn into a witch in under 10 years 80% chance.\nAnd you get to pay her for the privelage of her taking your children away from you and you will be paying so much that you will be living in a car very shortly to pay your child support , the court does'nt consider your increase in living expences or the need to maintain a household for the children to visit thats why many dads dont pick up there children, too ashamed to let them see how they live.\nwrite an union agreement between each other and make sure it protects you and you get custody and she can pay support.\nAnd dont worry about god If he saw what the divorce courts are putting fathers through he would tell you no too!

HI! Dependent upon which state you reside in (assuming you are in the USA) and the county within that state will determine if a license is required. I ran a day care for 8 years in my home and where I live it was required to have a license. This allows protection for both the provider and the children with which you care for. I would reccomend calling your county governement office. Start by looking in the blue pages of your telephone book (usually in front of the white pages) and look under licensing.\n\nIt is an awesome profession and the rewards of watching children grow and flourish in your care is bar-none one of the best feelings. I have children who I used to care for that are now married with kids of their own and they thank me for how they were cared for because they instill some of my rearing techniques on their children now.\n\nGood luck!

Police state....can anyone say that?  No, no government should restrict the size of a family.  To have children or not is the sole right of the people involved, not a government.  Look at the Chinese government, they restrict their families to have only two children.  What if those two children are girls?  They get sold or sent to an orphanage so the couple can try for a boy.  Absolutely ludicrous!  Over population is a concern, but I think the biggest concern is not being able to feed your family, ergo, people are regulating themselves, well, with the exception of the religions that say you can't use birth control. (you know who you are) <g>

Generally you won't need any license. Though be sure to check your states laws regarding small business'. Many of them require you have a tax ID number for paying and collecting taxes.

According to today's moral standards many people think it's not necessary to be married when having children. But I disagree. A marriage means stability. It means commitment between two people. If they really love each other it should not be a problem to be married. My personal opinion is that couples who don't want to get married are just not that into each other and should therefore not have children.

yes. You helped make that baby and it needs your financial support. I think that yes the system is sometimes corrupt and women do abuse this but the children still need monetary support. If the mother is financially secure you should still help out. Children only get more expensive as the years go by.\nDo your part.

Yes and I think you should have to take a test and pass before you can become a parent!

Doesn't matter if you're a minor or not, you have to have a driver's license.\n\nIf you are a minor though, and get caught, you won't be getting a license for some time.

Only if you have children.

It depends on why you need a dr.  Most states allow minors to seek medical care without parents permission for abuse, venereal diseases, and pregnancy.

Not unless you want to be the only person who is responsible and you have lots of money.  Kids are expensive and take a LOT of time.\n\nAlso, are you ready to do some major explaining if the child wants to know why he/she has only one parent?  They will ask a lot of questions and might resent that they have only one parent as they get older.\n\nIf you're okay with all of that, or if you have a mate who will hang around but you just don't want to get a marriage license, go for it.  Weddings are just ceremonies, they don't change much of anything except in your mind.

I agree.  I also feel that if you have to take a test and prove your skills to drive a car the same should be true for parenting.  I don't believe the Government should regulate our personal lives but it seems that the people with the most kids are the worst parents.  They did something similar with welfare...they stopped giving bigger checks for more kids so they should do the same thing for taxes.

there is a test you can take as ahorse-rider to go on roads but its not something you HAVE to do. Kids should not be on a road riding without an adult rider to supervise. It's as dangerous as letting a kid cycle on the road withpout an adult and passing their cycling proficiency test!
