…All Children Are Blessings?!
“It takes less than two seconds for someone to call me selfish for not having kids. But it takes a lifetime of regret to allow their words to make such an impact for me to suddenly become a mother in order to appease them.”
Some parents are so damn entertaining to me. They enjoy lying to themselves about the choices they made, as if not being honest with where you are in life makes anything better!
I love kids. I really do. But I must admit that I love children because I don’t have any. Kids are funny as hell and they brighten my day. Especially when they do silly things to stress their parents out…like exist. Ha!
But for real, though. If you are on the fence about having kids, I implore you to head to your closest IKEA and just walk around for a few minutes. Pay attention to the sheer despair and sad “Why the fuck did I ever decide to have kids” expressions on the faces of many adults. That alone will help you in making your decision. But yet they want to gaslight me and other single, childless adults with this “All children are a blessing” narrative. Thank goodness I don’t blindly listen to anyone.
