    My sister’s partner has a kid, with a woman he had a one-night-stand with. She’s an absolute fucking psycho, borderline negligent mother. Just about competent enough that social services do fuck all, but incompetent enough that the poor girl (who’s now 3) is blatantly falling behind in terms of development. And nothing he can do as he only has her 50% of the time.

    My absolute worst nightmare. Wrap it before you tap it.

    Get it if it makes you happy.

    Miserable parents make miserable children make miserable adults.

    A parent isn’t doing their kids any favors by “living for” them. You’ll figure out the essentials, and no infant ever grows up to appreciate that you bought the expensive/fancier strollers/toys/diapers. The non-basic baby supplies exist purely for parental vanity.

    I don’t understand heterosexual people and couples who don’t want kids yet don’t get/use contraceptives. It’s just pure stupidity.

      I don’t get it either. I’m hetero, not interested in ever having children, and have zero oopsie babies at 35. Even after I got a vasectomy this year, I continue to use condoms, as I’m not in a committed relationship at the moment.

      Shit, I use condoms for men and women, lol. At least until I settled down with the one I know is the one.

    Buy it so you have something to pass down to him/her when you buy your next one 😁
