Anything everybody can do is not laudable or worthy of congratulations. I am always amazed when I hear people congratulate somebody who has more kids than he/she can handle for "sacrificing." WTF? A person who bites off more than he can chew, placing himself under huge debt, should be rewarded for lack of forethought?
Overcoming ostacles is worthy of reward. Having a kid is nice, fine and dandy, but its not something society needs to encourage. Shit, we can't pay for the people we have.
