i could never handle raising a kid with intellectual disabilities and/or neurodevelopmental disorders which is exactly why i’m not having kids and the chances of me passing them down are 50/50.

this literally scares me so much as someone who probably wants kids one day. what if they come out like very disabled and need 24/7 care but I don’t want to/couldnt do that… but if you give that baby away you’re now considered a horrible person and the guilt would be insane.

1000% agree but it makes me a bit sad because i’d love to be a mom but i know i couldnt handle it and it wouldn’t be fair to the child to pass on so many health issues

I wouldn’t be able to handle 9+ months of my body changing and the pain that comes w it. No thank you. My 2 sisters and I alr made up our minds. Plus, we have a brother so we don’t need to give birth

it’s the hard acceptance of being a parent. literally anything can happen but you have to be willing to take it before you go in. if not, then maybe kids isn’t right for you

understandable, i applaud when people recognize its better not to pass down genes that diminish quality of life. I don’t want to put my child through what I go through everyday and I wish that’s how others saw it too
