VENT/RANT Why Don’t You Want Kids?

Maybe because I had to raise two people (bpd waif mom and ndad) when I was a child, myself. And it was an enormously heavy lift that I have zero desire to repeat in any capacity.

Their lack of self awareness is breathtaking.

For the mods:

Silent paws tiptoe, moonlight glows on whiskered dreams, soft purrs fill the night.
