MAKE IT MAKE FUCKING SENSE

I, who know perfectly well I am not capable of caring for children, choose not to have children. "Passing on" my mental illness / disorders (like autism) isn't even a consideration - if I could care for a child, I would care for them, NO MATTER WHAT - but I do not have the stamina or energy or emotional resources or capacity or any other fucking thing in sufficient amounts to raise even the most normal, "easy" child - SO I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.
AND SOMEHOW THAT'S A "BAD" THING.

But over here, you have severely mentally ill people AND/OR severely cruel and vicious and dangerous people who have caused SO MUCH HARM to other adults in their lives - never mind children - who are SO FUCKING DESPERATE to pass on their genetic material that they are undergoing FERTILITY TREATMENTS. And successfully getting pregnant.
And THAT is somehow a "good thing."

I could just vomit fire.

Będąc 3.5 roku w domu na L4 i macierzyńskim straciłam chyba spory kawałek mózgu (nad czym ubolewam szczególnie, bo zwykłam być z niego dumna), tak trudno mi znajdywać myśli i słowa w głowie. Przebywanie całodobowo z potworkami cofa człowieka w rozwoju. Może stąd te wszystkie madki z memów takie głupie i egoistyczne, jak tyle czasu siedzą ze swoimi małymi terrorystami "mamo to, mamo tamto, mamo, mamo, maaamo". A bardzo ciężko myśleć o cudzych potrzebach jak człowiek walczy codziennie o możliwość skorzystania z kibla w samotności.
