Women should seriously look into surrogates. Like in the "Handmaiden's Tales". Or think about getting cats?
Why have kids when you don't want to breastfeed them. let them CIO, want to not disrupt social life, sleep train them, want to go on vacations without them, want the school to change them if they have a "poop" accident etc (all covered in other recent threads), not save for their college? You understand that as good parents do all of these things for their kids? If all of it is a pain for you, don't bring a child into this world. They will grow up to be cruel like you, Remember that the human species is not on the brink of extinction. |
Did you miss the part where OP actually has a medical condition that may impact breastfeeding? Or are you a total martyr who couldn't care less about mothers? I BF'd and pumped for a year. Some of DDs friends were formula fed (maybe it was by choice, maybe it was due to medical necessity). 3 years later...no one cares, either way!!! |
Why are you even on here when you have all the answers and clearly devote every second of your life selflessly to your children? |
I didn't breastfeed. My kids are fine. They're 15 and 17, doing well in school, and happy. They are kind, generous young men who are well attached to their parents. Breast feeding is great, but if you can't do it, don't worry about it. |
"Don't bring a child into this world." Are you then suggesting OP terminate the pregnancy? Her due date is a month away. I mean, I know you are fully serious in listing all these things as evidence of "bad parenting", but... man. If I could have hired someone to suffer through the misery of pregnancy for me, I 100% would have. Pregnancy sucks and my body will never be the same again! If we were rich a la Kim Kardashian, I would never put myself through that awfulness. |
Because you’re not cruel. At all. Ps - you suck at life. |
Ha! I joke that my hips weren’t meant to birth babies and my boobs weren’t meant to feed them. Luckily, I knew then and I know now that there is so much more to being a good mom and my kids are happy and thriving. I’ve sacrificed plenty for those little people and some things really don’t matter now. |
I did not breastfeed my second child by choice and have NO regrets. Stand your ground. It's a personal choice.
Honestly, as a bonus, my second child turned out to way better immune system than my first child, who i breastfed for 10 months. |
OP all that matters is what YOU want to do. DH needs to get on board. I was on the fence about BFeeding. I am glad I tried it and I did it for 6 months because it worked for me. However, I'm weaning now and it sucks and it's enough to make me not want to BF again. |
Let me fill you in -- breastfeeding and being a good mother are not mutually exclusive. |
Why do people like you always want to make the USA a totalitarian regime? Why don't you just move to another country that has the values you want? Look into sharia law; I think you might dig it. |
