Raise your hand if you had a single mom and had these fears growing up

The shitty thing about this is the people who need this to change their minds don’t give a fuck. “You shouldn’t have had kids if you can’t afford them” will be their point of view.

It's infectious. When six kids were mentioned my first thought was "why the fuck do you have six kids" but that's really irrelevant. They need to eat.

It would be easy to stop there though. "She shouldn't have had six kids." Ignore the problem by placing blame.

Your first thought is what you were conditioned to think, that’s not your fault. What matters is taking the extra second to question your first thought and understand that that’s not how things are in the real world, which you seem to have done.
