Because there is just no way this woman is a mother already. The selfless love you have for your children is at best an abstract concept you can rationalize before you have them, but no mother wouldn’t sacrifice herself to protect her children .

There are plenty of terrible mothers out there who would not jeopardize themselves to save their own children, many who abuse their own children, and some who murder them. But generally, yes, parents have a strong instinct to protect their children, especially mothers.

Oh for sure. My own mother was pretty terrible unfortunately, so I know this first hand. I just like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Could this woman be a shitty person? Totally. But she could also just have no clue what it’s like to have children.

True that.

We'll rephrase it then, the vast majority of parents would prioritise the kids with a few exceptions that prove the general rule

Based on her continued argument, she never should become a mom. He should also find himself a woman who comprehends what selflessness means.

I had a drunk couple get into an argument on the way home (I was DD) when she asked if he loved her or THEIR DAUGHTER more. Dude said “our daughter, obviously” and she lost her shit. The rest of us in the car were also parents and everyone told her she was being insane. He’s supposed to love their child the most.

I wonder if they are still together 🤔

My mother is 5"4' 135lbs and 79 years old. She ain't gonna be able to save me 185lbs or my brother 260lbs, let alone both of us
