And before you say, “Well, get a babysitter,” babysitters are not free, and they’re sure as hell aren’t cheap, so again, you still have to plan around your kids, and if you cannot afford a babysitter, your kids have to go with you. I don’t want to have to go somewhere outside my home just to get a break. I don’t have the mental capacity for screaming, neediness, and having someone rely on me 24/7. People just have kids and don’t think about the long-term effects. You don’t stop raising a child

Anybody that insists that kids don’t change your life is delusional af it is literally like the biggest change you could make in life 😭

Like you’re not raising a fucking pet you are raising another fucking HUMAN BEING that will depend on you as a counselor a parent a cheerleader and all that for life and there is nothing wrong with that but it is a fucking commitment and a lot of people don’t get that while it’s normal to not always like being a parent but some ppl get to a point where it’s obvious they regret being one and it’s hurtful on the child.
