What is the point of having children if you wont raise them


well? My parents totally screwed me up.

I have a theory that when people become parents they go completely insane.

If that's the case, you might ask your parents.

Ok, so my father left shortly after I was born. My mother abandoned me when I was 10. Nevertheless, I absolutely adore my daughter who’s more important to me than anything in the world. So, it didn’t turn out all bad, eh?

HAVING KIDS AND BEING A PARENT ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT DISTINCTIONS.

Agreed!

Because condoms don't feel right.

Bad dog! Down boy!

Seriously. I really think you should be talking to a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

We can't help where we come from but we can help the direction we are going. Depression can be combated, and it's okay to need help.

A lot of people just play "life by numbers" they are expected to get married so they do, they are expected to have kids so they do, they just do what they are supposed to do but don't have any passion for any of it.

I knew a guy once who said pretty much that to me. He was young, had a kid and his wife pissed off on him. He was all depressed and said "I don't get it. I did what I was supposed to do and it all went wrong".

Uh huh...

That's obvious.
