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.
im the same way!! like ik i couldn't handle that so im not having any

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
