This is a hilariously narrow view of family life.
Life is a lot more complicated and there's essentially limitless possibility between living a life you feel is solely about "paying consequences" or "completely abandoning all responsibility" (which, btw, is still an option. Not great, but neither is the former)
But I do appreciate you providing an object lesson in just how taboo it is to even entertain the thought publicly!
- iugtmkbdfil834 8mo agoYou can entertain it. You just did. But don't expect standing ovation is my very subtle point. << This is a hilariously narrow view of family life. Quite the contrary, it allows for a very broad range of outcomes, because it deals with reality of the human condition. << which, btw, is still an option. Not great, but neither is the former Everything always is. Why, tomorrow I could quit my job and start a bar in Hawaii. As arguments go, this one was pretty weak. << Life is a lot more complicated and there's essentially limitless possibility between Why am I getting this feeling that you completely misread what I wrote.
- rc5150 8mo ago"But don't expect standing ovation is my very subtle point." that's the exact reasoning why parents who complain about how hard it is to be a parent get no sympathy from you. You blew a load in somebody (or had a load blown into you) and another human popped out. That's a choice you made for yourself, nobody forced you to, and there is a big giant swath of people out there who couldn't care less.
