This article is from 2013. I don't remember that we ever discussed it.
For once the writer doesn't try to wrap it up with the "it's all wooooooorth it' bow.
The comments are gold.
Again, it's not hard to figure out the actual nature of being with a child 24/7. You are tied to a small human who is completely dependent upon you for years. It changes one's life FOREVER. You will never wake up another day when you aren't wondering, where is the brat?
Why these women cannot figure it out beforehand is beyond me. I guess they don't see/listen to the experience of others or they tell themselves it will be Different With Their OwnTM.

I don't think so either. There is way too much honesty here and the honesty we usually see is very sporadic and usually includes the quick save qualifier.

Society needs to stop making having kids the default before anything will change.

Too many people are making too many humans.

Despite advances in women's rights and autonomy, society still stigmatizes the crap out of CF women. Year after year it's the same thing about the neglected and starving children in the U.S., and how moms are stressed out and parenting is so hard but Becky over there with her tubes tied and her two cats must be miserable, will die alone, is selfish etc etc. eye rolling smiley

The big problem with Moos is this:
They are originally in love with the idea of being a Moo. And in love with the idea of having crotchfruit.
As soon as reality kicked them in their big asses though.....
