That thread everyone’s discussing reminded me how my and my wife’s parents spent YEARS pressuring us to have children even though we live in a different country and they’re not even going to spend much time with them. Like what’s your deal people, fuck your ticking clock.
I trust parenting is hard — guess what, that’s why I’m not singing up for it just out of peer pressure. If you did sign up for it, and are privileged to have healthy kids, it’s not really your place to tell others that their lives are easy. You (I hope) knew what you were doing.
Anyway I’m not angry or anything 🙂 Our family is more understanding and respecting of our choices now, and all parents are weird sometimes, including on twitter
