  >And please read up on birth control and family planning. WTF is that? Did it ever occur to you that they may have intended to have children? Your comment is not only useless, it's offensive. When you have your first child, you are already bombarded with literature on birth control and family planning. The last thing they need is some person on the Internet making a suggestion that implies their family was a mistake and that they don't know basic things about where their children came from.

    I think the poster meant its utterly selfish and idiotic to gamble everything on a start-up when you have 3 young kids to look after. The OP did the equivalent of taking all his and his children money to Vegas and trying to hit the jackpot.

    Really, when you're betting everything on startups, which is a risky endeavor, it's best not to have 4 kids (3 of which look like they'll be in college at the same time) until you're well settled. Also I did think of editing that part out because I know it makes me look like a giant asshole, but it was too late.

    This HN submission is useless and demoralising, bordering on cyber begging. At the bare minimum he should have provided details about what went wrong. The only moral to be learned is the obvious one: don't risk everything when you have dependants who will suffer.
