you had 50 years of fertility and did it immediately. are you married to the bio dad? were you? is there alimony? is he paying child support? if smthn happens god forbid are you in the will/on insurance policies? you made a dumb choice. if you’re not on bc or using protection you’re trying your luck and thats fucking stupid. im sure ur kids are wonderful and im not hating on them. but u made dumb choices at ur age and i, as a taxpayer, am allowed to say that.

yeah. historically it was done bc ppl needed to manufacture their own labor force to work their land. thats not necessary anymore, its recreational. the problem is children suffer when unequipped and unwed mothers have a bakers dozen. and the taxpayers, like you and i pay to take care of them. when pregnancy and childbirth is easily preventable while still allowing consexual safe sex

I’m glad you can’t imagine it. I know many people can’t. My concerns stem from my experiences with psychosis and just that disconnection from reality. Sometimes postpartum issues come out of nowhere but for me I have that precedent. I am aware and medicated but I just never know I guess. It’s not a nice feeling

Based on your other comments it seems you’re dealing with something other than or on top of OCD. I’m obviously glad that I can have sex without getting pregnant and am blessed to live somewhere with plan c if needed but like that’s just me. I’m not gonna freak out at other people for getting married and having kids.
