She's too old to have kids once she's out though. It's now or never for her.

- kkielhofner 4y agoThat's exactly it - "for her". What about the kids?
- auggierose 4y agoThey will be happy to exist in the first place. They will also have a millionaire father. I think you are projecting.
- kkielhofner 4y agoThere’s no point in getting into the philosophical debate that is your first point - with the most obvious response being if they weren’t here they wouldn’t know the difference. There is no “they”. It’s really disheartening to see this come up again and again on this thread. If anyone would really trade the first 10 years of their life with their mother for any amount of money I truly feel sorry for them. Yes they have a dad. But they also have a mom - but not really because she’s in prison. This tendency here on HN to presume this situation won’t be of significant negative impact to these kids is shocking to me. If you really think a kid who lives the first ten years of their life never seeing their mom outside of a prison will be just fine because they have a “millionaire father” I’m not sure what to say.
- auggierose 4y agoThere are worse situations. Is she selfish because she wants kids before she goes to prison? Is it better to not have kids, instead of having kids while you are in prison? Is it better to not be alive, than to have to overcome a difficult situation? If you don't want to get philosophical, then don't dispense your moraline. It's ok to feel for the kids. To feel for them so much to tell them you shouldn't exist, is a bit much.

- deckard1 4y agoProbably not the best idea to commit crimes that carry prison sentences if you want to start a family. I agree with OP. This is truly horrifying narcissism.
