I observed a new white couple who joined the building. The couple seems lost in life but they have 3 kids: 2 boys and 1 girl. The man works as a furniture remover. They have an ugly brown dog (another ugly dog in da building). I noticed the woman and her 2 boys quite often at the bus station: Young tall woman but wasted by life.
I asked myself why she had 3 kids when life was already difficult for them.
The first answer was obvious: the french social system helps family with kids so better have 3 than 2!
The second answer is less obvious but it was logical: when you are poor and you have nothing to live for with your partner, kids are THE BOND that holds them together. They would break apart without their kids!
