Pro: going raw in sex, have deep bond with cute baby who will love you and exist even after you stop existing Cons: the most horrific things you can imagine experiencing

You can grow a third nipple, your sweat can turn blue, after birth you lactate at the sound of crying, umbilical hernia, baby’s foot can get stuck in ribcage, umbilical cord can wrap around baby’s neck. I have a very long list but it’s also just how annoying kids are. And as a woman, your entire life becomes about your kids (not always bad) and you’ll get no praise for it while the dad will get applauded for changing a diaper once

Some of her cons are really dumb though. I’ve seen her have ones that involve the child crying for example.

I mean even taking care of a robot baby and waking up to wailing multiple times in the middle of the night every night to try to figure out what tf it wants, that’s kinda valid

Esp with fussy babies like there is a reason you’re taught to leave the room if you feel overwhelmed and call someone, crying that won’t stop and you can’t figure out what they want can make people go crazy

Oh absolutely. I’m not saying that parents shouldn’t take breaks or anything like that. But she has had things like “they will ask for you all the time” and things that are no brainers for having kids. The rest of her list is very good though

Did that happen to you? Does it come with a risk of nerve damage?

I don’t think it is. Because that’s a reasonable expectation to come with having a child. What isn’t reasonable is medical gaslighting or finding out you can have early contractions from not drinking enough water. One is just being realistic and the other is a risk women should be informed of
