Saw a woman on tiktok whose husband passed away around a year ago. She's popped up on my FYP a lot and is clearly not processing the grief in a healthy way... She is saying she is now doing IVF with his frozen sperm, against the wishes of his family. So now her whole account is about having IVF as a widow on the NHS (No idea how she's managed to blag that) ... as a single woman..... What. The. Hell.
Her tiktok is now a shrine to this incoming child of a man who died a year ago. It is so creepy. She nukes any "negativity" so her comments are just filled with people wishing her well and I'm sitting there like ?!?!?
I wish people thought a bit more before having kids. So many people bring kids into dysfunctional situations, poverty, (already) broken homes, getting pregnant after 5 minutes together, single-parent households, etc. I know of a girl who has managed to get a 4-bed council house after having kids with 3 different men over about 8+ years, but the working middle-classes get zero help to buy a home, etc. A friend of mine with a child has a brand new flat (that she then moved her new boyfriend into!) paying fuck all rent on it in comparison to what someone without a child renting privately would pay...
Kids. The easy way to getting a cheap home, eh. All you have to do is pop one out, claim homelessness, live in a hostel for a few months and boom, brand new council new build given to you. Probably right next door to someone who just paid 450k for theirs.
