Hey son, it’s me, ur mom. Can you pretty please have sex with your wife for me and your dad 👉👈🥺. Your dad and I want you to uproot your entire life so that your wifey can pump out little mini versions of you so we can feel what it’s like to raise children again but without any of the responsibility. Pwetty please with a cherry 🍒 on top😩🥵
without any of the responsibility
Or expense
or consequences
Sorry mom, no gf
you don’t have to be gluten free to have children. just skip the breaded and fried ones.
"The planet’s dying; the Nazis are not only back, but overwhelmingly popular; my wife and I’s dual income can barely afford a shitty apartment + costs of living; our rights are dropping like flies; and if something goes wrong with the pregnancy, our doctor would have to risk going to prison to provide healthcare, which he won’t do, so pregnancy could realistically be a fatal decision for my wife.
We will never entertain the absolutely cruel thought of forcing a child into this dumpster fire. Don’t ask us again."
my mom used to demand grandchildren from my brother and I
when we were like 8 years old
we both turned out to be gay
You can still adopt or go through surrogacy, so don’t think you’re completely out of the woods yet
still adopt
everyone i know who adopted went through absolute hell to be able to adopt. and those are straight couples, not living in a viciously anti-LGBTQ fascist state at the time
If you want a baby that’s relatively healthy, adoption can be an absolute nightmare. If anybody ever says to adoptive parents that they got their kid the “easy way,” it made them sound profoundly ignorant. It’s one of those life experiences where you learn about a whole shitty world that exists right under the surface that most people are blissfully unaware of. That includes adoption, fostering, child protective services, and all that crap.
The only reason my wife and I have a biological kid is because the adoption process drove us to give it one more try with a new doctor in parallel. If we happened to adopt AND conceive, then fine. Instant family.
But here we are with a 7 year old only child that’s biologically ours, not adopted. We might start fostering in the next few years though.
Adoption also has some pretty serious horror stories about kids being treated like a commodity, and desperate mothers being manipulated into giving up kids. It’s a mess. It shouldn’t be for-profit.
or I can shovel babies into woodchippers
Saves on red paint, don’t it?
You’d think so, but no. Babies are so much more expensive because you have to frequently reapply.
LOL
My mother made sure I knew I didn’t want to be a teenage parent, now she’s surprised I didn’t want to be an adult parent either.
A child will ruin your future! Why aren’t you having children?
Children? In this economy/logy?
