Discussion Would you exist

[Cheza_mus]

If you parents only produced two children, would exist?
I wish it was that way...I surely wouldn't be alive but I was born in shithole Africa where people produce many kids without planning for them..we are six struggling children in my family and I am second to the last....

It's the men specifically in those countries who are at fault for that

Hopefully not but my mom was dumb so probably yes... I'm the 3rd. I think my mom had me to guilt trip my dad not to leave her for a younger woman he loved before her. It didn't work a 3rd time. I was always a failure to her...

I care about my fellow bus passengers, I don't mean what I'm about to say as racism in any way ... But one of the reasons I didn't kill myself as a child is that I saw on tv african children with just skin & bones, curled up in sand devoured alive by thousands of flies... I was terrified to die & be reborn in africa. I'm glad if you have enough to have the internet... Enough food I hope... I saw people starve to buy fancy bling... Your life must be hard. But hopefully not as hard as I feared. I feel sad for chinese mothers firced into abortions during the 1 child policy in china... But at least they never had to eat each other due to overpopulation? Like the soylent green movie. So many of us are born unviable, just because a doctor wanted to have greater stats of success. Many want to die & are firced here. We are starving, killing each other for stuff. Homeless. But they remake abortion illegal in the usa... Suicide is prevented...

I want a healthy body! In a safe society...

I am an onlychild and I was reminded several times that I was an error and I should not have born. Well how is that my fault. I had no saying in the process and they were old enough to know how stuff works.

Yes, I would exist, but they would have given me up for adoption. I have an older brother and a younger sister and my "parents wanted a boy and a girl and my brother was the 1st born then I came along, another male, which neither wanted then they had my younger sister.

At that time, they did not give me up for adoption because of how society would have viewed them, but in hindsight they told me all the time when I was growing up that they wished that they had gotten "rid" of me. When I turned 18, they kicked me out and I never heard from my "parents" again ever, 100% their choice. In fact, when they died, in their wills, they stated for me to stay away from any type of funeral service that my 2 siblings might have in their honor.

I think some parent consider kids like action figures. I have this one, i miss this one. Like we are collectibles. What's wrongs with two boys? Or two boys and a girl?

Not sure, for me being in the first world just meant that now I see the comparison with more successful people that are moving forward in the social ladder. I guess that if I was born in a developing country or in the deep country side of my country maybe I would have less ambition and I would have settled for less. Besides not being born the second thing I would really like would be to go back in time 30 years and tell that boy to just stay in our small town with the few friends we had and be happy with that.
