Unpopular opinion, I think some parents don’t truly love their children.

this is definitely true and happens all the time. my mother simply had children because that’s what she knew her family wanted.

some people think bringing a child into the world will fix their life or their happiness or their relationship and then are resentful after a while when it doesnt fix everything

Personally I think a lot of parents love their children but don’t really like them. Especially past childhood

Parents always teaching you to be more grateful while they wish u was still in the sac probs the best lesson to be grateful that u made it out the sac even tho u may be too depressed to get out of bed today🤩

It’s not just an unpopular opinion, it’s an unpopular truth because people want to disguise ill treatment of children as “tough love” when in the long run it just ends up hurting them more than being cared and nurtured.

My mom in a nutshell. Any time I float the idea that I don’t want to be trapped in a 40-50+ hour career I don’t enjoy she tries to guilt trip me and beg for sympathy

Because they’re living the life they couldn’t, shouldn’t they be happy for them? That blows my mind

Holding such big responsibility on your child just isn’t right. What about that child’s own life and responsibilities. The only person responsible for fixing anything or their own happiness is themselves

I hate when religion is the reason they force themselves to miserably go through with it and then the resentment is targeted towards the child :(

Like if every “life” mattered then focus on the children that are already here struggling. Orphanages are packed like crazy :(

Seriously. My mom was jealous of me and my husband (he was my bf at the time) cause our relationship was healthy and she kept saying some bullshit so I called her out with, “at least I have my own happiness and didn’t break up marriages to find it” and slammed the door in her face (mind you she didn’t live with me at the time). She tried breaking into the room and my sister almost whooped her ass

there’s still ways out if you accidentally get pregnant. People who have already had kids could’ve gotten abortions as they weren’t illegal in some states yet. They could’ve put the kid up for adoption if they didn’t want to abort there’s always ways out
