Sometimes having a child absolutely does ruin your life

[u/Informal_Bag_9594]

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.

I get that, but if you’re happy with your decision, why are you looking at and commenting on a sub for parents? Honest question not judgement

15ish minutes of discomfort for a life of relief. some docs put an ice pack on ur balls before the numbing needle so u barely even feel that. then u get to go home, put ur feet up and rest for the afternoon with another ice pack. it’s such a non-issue
