“A real parent is someone who puts that child above their own selfish needs and wants .”
Having kids of my own for the first time late in life was the most important factor in my finally becoming a more responsible and less selfish person.
When the doctor was running the sonogram over my wife to confirm her pregnancy he said something I will never forget. After determining that, not only was my wife pregnant, she was expecting twins, he looked up at me and said, “your life doesn’t belong to you anymore.”
Baby making is marketed, commercially, politically, and by religion. People see it as a right to exploit children. Then when things start turning bad, there are the Fixmykid doctors.
