We had no freaking idea the USA would become such a hostile place to raise a family in 1990? I can’t even imagine trying to find a career now that AI is about render millions with no marketable skills. It’s goes much deeper than these Fox News simps reading their scripts of lies.

For a lot of people these days even well into their 20s having kids means living in poverty. And then the same people saying you’re selfish for not having kids will be saying your selfish for seeking public assistance. It’s simple really. If you want more people to have kids instead of trying to shame people who don’t have kids how about supporting better wages?

    Good for them!!! Having kids is very challenging and demanding. Try being a single parent of a child with profound special needs after other parent and ex-spouse decides to bail on you and your child. I would never have had a child had I known how traumatizing and painful it was. I couldn't fix my son's profound disabilities and its heartbreaking that he'll never have a normal life. He deserves better. I did everything right in pregnancy and it went very wrong. So if you think it is selfish Fox, go shove it!!! It's none of your business if people have children. They just want workers for their corporations!!!

      The only way not having children would be selfish is if a woman became pregnant and aborted her unborn baby for no other reason than having said baby would "inconvenience" her and completely alter her life trajectory. (Yes, I'm pro-life except in rare, extreme cases, e.g. a woman experiencing a life-threatening pregnancy)
      But not bringing another genetically distinct life into the world in the first place isn't selfish. How can someone be called "selfish" because of a non-existent human being? That's absurd.

    • @Authenticallyathena
      @Authenticallyathena 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @michellecd4722 Thank you, that name was chosen because I am finally living my authentic life. I was a child born to someone who had no business being a parent. She is way too self-centered to be a mother and I suffered tremendously in my adolescence and part of my adult life because of it. Her having me got her attention but babies grow up and if you don't see them as people but rather objects you can destroy. I'm very grateful for therapy and this amazing concept called no contact.

    • @Authenticallyathena
      @Authenticallyathena 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Moon_in_Scorpio I'm just curious if you'd feel that way when a woman is well aware she is not meant to be a mother? That was the issue in my life. My mother never should have had children. What you're saying is that you would be fine with a child being born to someone who already knows they do not have the ability to love said child. That's the kind of mother I have, it's not good being born where you are not wanted. Only by my own will did I even make it to adulthood, nevermind the trauma I experienced being born to someone who only liked me as long as I was incapable of my own thoughts and feelings. The moment I became aware of myself my mother decided I was her enemy and I suffered. Having an abortion is not selfish, it's recognizing your limitations and that is to be respected. I used to believe like you honestly, I used to say women who have abortions are horrible people. I evolved, educated myself and realized though I'm sure it's a very difficult choice for some, if she knows she can't do it, I respect that. Just so it's clear I've never had an abortion, I became pregnant twice during my marriage and gave birth to two beautiful daughters. I just understand it's not my business what others choose to do with their bodies or their lives. Some people clearly are not meant to be parents.
