I followed him years ago. I clearly remember him doing a story similar about lineage a few days after a doctor told me I could never have children. That stayed in my head for weeks. I had never thought someone would think that way and then i did.This. And again he's going on about how it'd be a shame for someone's lineage to end with them if they didn't have children and that all the hard work and sacrifices their parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc have made would be a waste, but then goes on to say that he doesn't live close by to his family because he had to do what makes him happy? Hypocrite much?
How about people choose to be childfree because it's how they want to live THEIR lives. None of us asked to be conceived and born and the thought that we should live our lives the way our parents would want us to just because they gave us that life in the first place is ridiculous. Parents should want their children to be happy and lead a life that fulfils them, regardless of what that entails.
Months later after making excuse after excuse I went home for a visit to my parents.
I had a panic attack, during which I asked them not to hate me for not having kids and that I've had thousands of years of people breeding for me to not be able to continue. My parents were horrified. Not because I can't have kids (they love me regardless) and have been so supportive. They were upset because I has such a horrendous breakdown associating that mindset with the news I had.
I spent years refusing to date anyone because I thought I wad damaged goods.
He is a dick and that mindset is so harmful.
I never thought I would post something like this, but him repeating that mindset after having a child has made me so angry.
I wish he would shut up and enjoy what he has if it means that much to him. DICKHEAD.
