(2,403 posts)It is a decision that we all have to make for our own families. I have a daughter who is 14. Roe is falling right before our eyes. I have a son who has basically only known a country run by Trump and the hate he brought with him that persists into a time where a man ending a 20 year war is vilified. I watch how these things are having a real effect on their childhoods versus mine. And yeah, I have to ask the question. Is it fair to them to be raised in this environment simply because they were born in a fucked up time?
It is a massive and heart wrenching decision and frankly your response is insulting. The glibness is offensive. It would be beyond selfish for me to deny them a childhood and a better upbringing. And it isnt an easy decision to come to. Nor did I say that I have come to that decision fully. I served in the military (and no I am not asking for military fawning) because I believe in this country. But that was before becoming a parent.
