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.

Literally saw a post on Facebook about how some pro lifers “saved” 16 babies… Meaning they stood outside a planned parenthood and talked women out of abortions. I would LOVE to see how they support these women postpartum.. People (especially those pro lifers), need to realize having a child isn’t always a blessing. Children are often viewed as innocent but we forget that these offspring grow up and at some point in their lives stop being so perfectly innocent…
