    It’s shit, right? I’m so sorry. I hope that stability comes to you very soon.

    Reject tradition. You have no obligation to sacrifice your well-being because some old, out-of-touch fuckwads want something life-changing from you. Can’t even afford groceries.

    They can foster a child if they want one around so badly. Or go sit at a park. Or volunteer at the church nursery or something, ffs.

      bingo. The SO and I have talked about it, and we decided if we regret it a bit later and it’s too late, adoption is always a valid choice. After all, we’re not bringing new life in so we don’t have to feel guilty about that, but instead we would be giving a home to someone else who needs one. However, there are still many, many negatives as to why we don’t want to or simply can’t right now.
