They told me as soon as I "became a woman" that if I ever got pregnant to not bother coming home. If it had happened once I moved out and was paying my own bills, they still would not have been pleased but they *might* have tried to help with day-care or babysitting. Now that I'm married and have an aversion to birth and children (gee - I wonder why?), they are just doing everything they can to passive/aggressively hint that I should have a baby.<br /><br />It's too easy for everyone around the birthmom and her baby to say "Give it away". That's where the problem lies. No one wants to help. No one wants to get involved. We're a throw-away society... in every aspect. (I don't mean to infer that any of you ladies threw your babies away; I'm referring that it's so easy for everyone else to say "Get rid of it" or "Give it away". No true sense of family or family connection/responsibility these days.)J.

My family, my stepmother and father, did nothing to help and the stepwoman actually helped the social worker!<br /><br />I totally believe in kinship care...the best part? The kids stay out of the system and the mothers aren't labeled as trash!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815710859859029536noreply@blogger.com
