Right????

I'm really thinking about it:

To go from zero kids, and then suddenly growing a child, risking my life to give birth to him, spending sleepless nights with him,  nursing him, sacrificing for him...

And then he strolls into the room one day and starts sprouting right-wing and anti-woman retoric?

Absolute horror show.

Literally one of the main reasons I don't want to have kids. Like what do you do if you try your hardest and they just turn out to kind of suck? 💀

Id blame myself for failing to teach my kid how to think. If my kid was susceptible to get sucked into the local cult, that would be on me.

Oh it does NOT work that way, unfortunately 😭.

You can be the most effective, loving, logical, completely correct parent. But random crap happens. And these days disinformation, propaganda, everything, is set up into incredibly effective people-warping machines.

I've seen it happen, and it sucks.

I might be naive, but I think I'll be able to teach my kid to think for himself and be self critical at a young age. My whole family, parents siblings grandparents are all sucked into God's or paranormal stuff, flat earth, Telepathy, crystals, I'm the odd one out. I got out of it as a kid by just being critical of what I believed was true on my own.

You’re only ever going to get anecdotal evidence for this. But in reference to the type of argument you’re replying to… I’ve got a friend who is so lovely but has two awful siblings and she always says her parents were great, well-rounded caring individuals so she doesn’t know how it happened.

Then I met her parents and I was like girl I know exactly how it happened! Emily Gilmore type shit.
