Wanna-breeders... February 10, 2013 | Registered: 11 years ago Posts: 741 |
I have 2 friends, a lesbian couple who are absolute wanna-breeders. After a few rounds of insemination and IVF, they decided to give up on having children.
Naturally, they wouldn't adopt. They HAD to give birth to it.
For months now, the two of them have been engaging in endless lowing on Facebooger, and putting up pics of them with their various nieces and nephews. They also went out a spent a shit ton of money on crap for themselves - scooters, a motorcycle, a new car, etc. One of them is "disabled" (and I use that term lightly) and the other one works. I have no idea how much they pull in, but they always seem to have money.
Well, instead of having kids, they went and bought a house. Not any house - a total fixer upper. It needs everything. Now, they are begging people on Facebooger to not only loan them tools, but they are asking their friends and family to DONATE time to fixing the house - they need plumbing, painting, carpentry, etc.
It's one thing to want to buy a house - I can see that. It's not the choice for me (I live in a condo) but I can see people wanting to do it. But why on Earth would be buy a house that needs to be totally gutted when you DON'T have the skills to do these things?
They have a whole family of animals, and more "toys" than you can imagine. I can't imagine being so desperate to care for something that I would get myself in that kind of situation.

I can understand buying a fixer-upper and renovating it to your specific desires, if the cost would be lower or equal to buying a move-in ready home (which is what I want to do). But that's after doing the math and considering how much you have, not relying on begging on social media.

IRL I know a lesbian couple and a gay couple who were desperate to breed. In both cases I believe they were desperate not because they wanted children, but they were desperate to "fit in" and "do normal things." One of them said to me, "most people have children, and we want to do it so we can be part of the human experience." Not one word about actually raising the child or wanting a child. WTF?

I have some lesbian friends who had kids a while back. They were cool friends, but living proof that parenthood has the potential to make EVERYONE boring, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Gad. Their kids are in middle and high school now, and they do have their lives back, but DAMN they were dull for a long time!
I hope that couple can come to grips with reality. Maybe a couple sessions with a therapist would help, I dunno.
Here's one of life's little ironies: if they'd adopted or IVF'd their way into parenthood, they'd STILL be out that cash, and STILL be begging. Only difference would be that people wouldn't hesitate to help with the costs associated with the hobby of raising children. And yes, raising kids is similar to a private, very expensive hobby.
