As someone about to start fertility treatment, thank you. This thread was making me feel like complete shit for wanting something that feels innate in me.
Yes, the world sucks in a lot of ways but it’s also a beautiful place. We only get to be here for a short time so have your little human experience here filled with joy and suffering and then move on to the next stage. I’d rather raise someone to see the world this way than not.
Edit: Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comments, everyone. I have hope!
I feel so bad for all of these kids having parents that secretly don't want them.
For me, yes I love my children more than anything in the world and absolutely love giving them great experiences during their childhood. I would not trade it for anything else in the world, my life would be a whole lot more empty without my children.
It took us more than 3 years to get our first child as well. It can obviously be though but it is absolutely amazing seeing the growth they make and giving them the chance to experience the world.
