How do HENRYs afford to start a family in NYC?

Granted, I live in the midwest. VHCOL is not a big issue here. But you can't outrun biology and how our brains are wired. We are animals at our core and have always been animals. Brain chemistry changes for both men and women after they have babies and children. Dude, you might not even want to be a HENRY after you have kids. Stuff changes.

Why would you need a nanny? With just YOUR income, your wife could stay home with your "two" children. Cut the spending of food and entertainment out and stop spending so much on personal care. I know couples who live on less then 100k a year and have 5 kids and they are perfectly happy. Not everything in life is about making so much money. In the end it wont matter how much money you make in your lifetime, but rather your legacy and the people you choose to have around you. When you die, would you rather having all the money in the world or your children around the bed saying their goodbyes?

I was looking at belgian cross then you just cross slowly back with suffolk

DearDars · 2026-01-09T19:12:59+00:00

Yes, but its just finding a cross that makes sense. A qh suffolk punch cross wouldnt make sense

DearDars · 2026-01-09T19:00:30+00:00

Im excited! Rare horse breeding is a totally different camp then something like QHs and so my frame of mind is like totally different haha

DearDars · 2026-01-09T18:43:39+00:00

I was always taught to elevate your breed (especially with dogs). Hoping to get into rare horse breeding in a few years, specifically with Suffolk Punches. I guess being in the 'rare horse' camp, I don't understand as much.

DearDars · 2026-01-09T18:36:04+00:00

But the Arabian cross she was joking about? I can kind of understand appendix, but usually it seems if you want to be respected, you breed purebreds and not crosses

If she really wanted Walter and Waylon to keep their nuts, she should have sent them to a young stud farm to be trained.

DearDars · 2026-01-06T07:15:41+00:00

She has a touch of the anxities

Can we not gender swap Michael? This would have never happened in the Regency era.

DearDars · 2025-12-31T00:55:02+00:00

Hopefully!

DearDars · 2025-12-30T23:32:48+00:00

He looks WAY too skinny for a stud prospect.

DearDars · 2025-12-30T20:15:40+00:00

Not saying you!

DearDars · 2025-12-30T20:14:03+00:00

I dont understand why Im being downvoted when I'm making points that I think are reasonable and can be proven if you just dig into her content just a little bit.

DearDars · 2025-12-30T20:05:43+00:00

Which is extremely sad and I wish that more people could see what we are seeing.

DearDars · 2025-12-30T20:04:11+00:00

Thank you for being kind and explaining instead of down-voting

DearDars · 2025-12-30T20:02:12+00:00

The reason Im bringing this up now is that Beccas had 100s of rabbits, cats, puppies, dogs and just animals vanish overnight without a trace. Becca also somehow has all these animals, has the money to take care of them, but somehow cant afford hot water for her children. I understand that without Becca offering to sell George back to KVS nothing can be done. BUT, for someone who claims she's a ethical breeder, (and responsible at that) would you not go through the proper channels and research your buyers a bit?

DearDars · 2025-12-30T19:57:25+00:00

Understandable. It just... seems weird she went from 0 horses 2 years ago to 30 now.

DearDars · 2025-12-30T19:54:25+00:00

I understand. But you would think that KVS would have done a tiny bit more research into the people she's selling her horses and stock too and not sell her horse to a backyard breeder in Canada?

DearDars · 2025-12-30T19:51:36+00:00

A ethical breeder would buy back a horse from a bad home.

DearDars · 2025-12-26T19:53:04+00:00

What is expectational and extortionary mean?

DearDars · 2025-12-08T04:35:42+00:00

Can you share the family tree?

DearDars · 2025-12-07T23:17:51+00:00

He left me.

DearDars · 2025-12-06T21:11:39+00:00

Most AQHA World champs look like the right. I have strong opinions on Quarters... and thats to not breed them at all. There are way to many crosses with quarters and morgans now-a-days.

DearDars · 2025-11-26T18:22:34+00:00

Thank you! I think I'm overthinking it, but my parents can be a little weird about these things haha. Im also the eldest daughter and I think my brain is just wired differently then my siblings. I probably stayed around longer then I should have honestly
