Did y’all know there is a certain portion of the population who believe the purpose to have kids is not to love them as humans but to create future capitalist drones? (hexbear.net)

I didn’t think you could make this shit up, honestly

My sister works as a contractor and has run-ins with private schools occasionally and whatever you’ve heard about these parents, it’s worse than you can possibly imagine. I never would’ve thought someone would be so proud of the fact that they treat their children like pawns and clearly something to check off on a life list or some bullshit.

I am struggling to wrap my mind around it. In the year 2023, it is common to ask two dating people when they plan to get married and have kids. Which alone wouldn’t be a bad thing, but these questions are so fucking ominous now that I have this knowledge. Fuuuuuuuck me

Yeah they do, my """""mother""""" was one.

She viewed children as pets and property. We were there to serve her financially and emotionally, and she had friends who viewed their children the same way.
