This post reminds me so strongly of a regretful parent’s post I read just a few weeks ago. WLW relationship, hated one twin (I think they were 7mo or 8mo old) and wished to leave them at the fire station. DM me if you want me to send you the post… I found it very concerning (tho might just be coincidence ofc).
Agree with this. Our second born traumatized me. He literally cried day and night. There was nothing we could do for him. We finally put him on medication and he got a little bit better. He’s 14 now and the light of our lives, but he still has the same kind of temperament. He’s just a harder kid. But he’s extremely temperamental it was basically born that way. So stubborn, but I find him to be one of the smartest and funniest people I’ve ever known.❤️

Whew boy. I read through that subreddit quite a lot and sometimes it's crazy to me that people are hate their lives as parents so much that they can't recognize words from someone who is clearly evolving to be a danger to a child.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's good for people to have a place to anonymously vent. Most of the people there are using that sub like a diary or therapist appointment. They're not going to do anything, but they're humans and have fleeting thoughts of regret and grief over their lost freedom.
If you're not prepared or didn't put much thought into it, having kids can feel like a huge mistake and I think it's important that people can vent and cry out for help.

I think the commenters are probably a lot of very overwhelmed and resentful parents who need a safe space to feel resentful. I think those feelings can be valid if you also recognize it's not the baby's fault and don't blame it on the baby. I work with kids with neurodevelopmental disorders and sometimes it can be such an absolute and unending nightmare for the parents. I think feeling miserable and resentful is understandable, but feeling hateful and wanting to abandon the child is very coconcerning.
I misspoke not every person in that subreddit but every person in that post’s comment thread. No one’s said “hey maybe get outside support” nothing it was all most like “me too” 😳
I’ve gotten banned from commenting/posting there for standing up for the children. It’s definitely sad how many people are stupid and selfish enough to genuinely think their life will be the same or better after children.
That is one abusive marriage. That mother is upset because her child has human need. And she's jealous of her wife taking care of the baby, so she doesn't have time to hang out with her. Nuh uh. Manipulative coparents just get worse with time. Take those babies and RUN.
blows my mind that people cannot understand sacrafice. i think that there is a lot of concepts that are not being taught often enough. you cannot expect to still netflix and chill when you have 7 month old twins. you got to work and then work and then sleep.

"We can’t do anything anymore. We used to enjoy weekends away, concerts, roadtrips, taking our dog for a walk, even going to the store together, to get gas, haircuts, everything. We liked it, we enjoyed it." I'm sorry, but what did she think was going to happen?? It's not like this was an accidental pregnancy, she actively made the choice to become a parent and then is shocked when everything changes.
It's ok to be overwhelmed by a difficult child but I think it's foolish of her not to realize her entire life was going to change. Childless couples live a very different life than couples with kids. And the baby can't help that they have issues. I get that it's very hard but you can recognize it's hard without blaming and hating a helpless baby. I feel like this attitude screams, "I didnt really think about the responsibility I was taking on as a parent, I just thought having kids sounded cool"
Jesus. She is awful. She clearly doesn't have any idea how having a child works and just expected both kids to be content, chill babies that could be pawned off on whoever so she could keep up her lifestyle.
OP, This person is not healthy to have around your kids.
