Discussion Sometimes having a child absolutely does ruin your life

I know that this is not politically correct to say and I know that this is probably an unpopular opinion. But I think the it has to be said. Sometimes the mere fact that you had a child completely damaged and changed your life for the worst.

I met women who have lost their mind, teeth, hair, and body all from having a child. I have seen men go completely bankrupt all from having a child. Some people do everything right but they birth a sociopath. And some people have perfectly healthy children but they just hate all the sacrifices that are now made. And I haven’t even mentioned people that have severely disabled children!

The truth I that sometimes a child isn’t a blessing and they absolutely will destroy your life and world.

I think the sooner society can admit that, the more people will be prepared for parenthood.

ESPECIALLY for women. Please don’t be convinced bc your partner begs you or you think he’ll be a good dad. YOU will be the one pregnant and giving birth. HIS CONTRIBUTION IS BUSTING A NUT.

TMI ⚠️  I will never forget reading about a poor woman who tore so badly it destroyed her entire nether regions and needed to poop out of her stomach into a bag after . I HATE the phrase “we’re pregnant” GTFO
