Becoming a parent should be a personal decision, not an obligation.
If you were your mom’s only chance of having biological grandkids, would you give her biological grandkids even if you were scared of being pregnant, or would you tell her she’s going to have to settle for adopted grandkids?
This woman admits that she is scared of pregnancy and the complications that go with it.
However, her mother is pressuring her to carry her grandchildren despite her fear.
Read the full story below for all the details.
Am I selfish for not wanting biological kids?
I’m (21F) scared of being pregnant.
It would drastically change my body (maybe for good), but without my control, it just feels scary.
And I’m afraid of complications and how it could affect my mental health.
This woman doesn’t want to go through all the complications of pregnancy.
It was really complicated for my mom, and I just don’t want to go through that.
My sister (18F) recently found out she has a condition.
It’s impossible for her to have biological kids.
But her mom is relying solely on her to give her biological grandchildren.
My mom made it clear that she having grandkids is on me now.
She’s really adamant about how it must be biological because adopted kids are “broken.”
I can imagine being a mom, maybe through adoption or foster care at some point.
Now, she’s wondering if she’s being a jerk for not wanting to get pregnant.
But I can’t imagine being pregnant.
I’d rather not be a mom at all than going through pregnancy.
Am I a jerk if I don’t give my mom kids since I am the only one that can?
Am I selfish? Am I broken since I don’t want to be pregnant?
She shouldn’t have kids just because her mother wants grandkids.
