The decision of having
children
 might be the most challenging decision for adult
people
, especially for young
parents
. Even 100 years ago it was a common desire of creating a nuclear family that was
also
 a traditional way for married
people
. In the modern world
people
 more often think about the possibility to have a baby, how much
money
 they should earn for it, and the capability of having more than one
child
.
Nevertheless
, these conditions
also
 include the level of life in different countries.
For example
, in China
people
 couldn't have more than one
child
 two years ago because of the population. They should pay extra taxes for each
child
 or leave the country. There are many options for
parents
 to bring up and grow up their
children
 if they want to keep working. They can use kindergarten, pay
money
 for a nanny’s services or entrust their
children
 to grandparents.
Nevertheless
, a lot of
parents
 don’t have
such
 opportunities and should put on hold their careers on their
children
. In my opinion, the most number of countries are capable of helping
people
 who decide to have a
child
 and who can’t afford different services. The proc of that way might be capable
also
 for
children
 who need their
parents
 all the time, especially
children
 with diseases.
Moreover
, it will help to be closer to families, receive enough time to be together and have a real childhood.
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages.
For example
,
people
 can use
this
money
 for nasty things or give birth to
children
 only to receive extra
money
.
This
 situation is observed in countries or regions with a significantly minimal level of life. From my point of view, if governments decide to create something like extra help for
people
 with
children
, which will include
money
 or other things as well,
firstly
, they should think about
children
’s safety and wellbeing.
