    The idea that children should be grateful for having been born is backwards. It is the parents who wanted to have children.

      Lol my parents did this to me. “No free rides in this house! If you’re going to live here, you’re gonna have to work!”. You guys are the ones who created me!

        Yeah i straight up said it to my mother’s face when she pulled that on me one (several) time(s) too many. She got real mad about it but she chilled out a little. Toxic nonsense.

      It’s so weird teaching this to my son, like I’m out here actively working against the guilt of society for later in life.

      “You didn’t choose this bud, you don’t owe me shit, when I need taking care of let’s both hope I planned for it because you weren’t born to raise your dad”
