I don’t know how convinced I am that the things you listed are goals instead of ‘things you do,’ per your account of marriage and parenthood. I think many people do work towards stable relationships (which may or may not take the form of marriage) and developing a healthy and happy environment in which to raise a…

things that made me cry today:
- the Kylie video
- the really gorgeous, supportive sentiments i’m seeing in these comment threads
- thinking about little jinni bypassing a time of allowed “vapidness” bc sometimes the world just forces us to grow up and warrior into reality
- the mere *idea* of JT disrespecting Prince’s…

riiiiiiiight? i am 100% firm on my never-gonna-procreate stance and this made even me go “fuck motherhood is magical omg i want some of that”

Oh jinni, I am so sorry you had a difficult childhood. As much as I don’t want children and don’t envisage that changing (though if it does I wil definitely adopt) every child deserves a loving home and loving parents. I know too many people who bare the scars of poor parenting. I know that my father was initially…

I don’t have the same aversion to children but always knew that it was not in the cards for me to become a biological mother (I could see a stepmother role, no problem). My heart doesn’t function very well in the best of cases and I was absolutely certain I would die in pregnancy or childbirth. (Nothing about…

I was just talking to my husband about this . I get it. She makes her money by being in the spotlight and people expect to know everything. I was so happy she chose to experience her pregnancy her way. Good for her.

I’m not even a fan of this family’s but I’m not sure where you’re coming from saying that a mom is all she’s aspired to be. They said she has always wanted to be a mom. So what? Moms can and do multitask. She’s 20 and her net worth is $50 million dollars. That’s not even just trust fund money... that’s money from her…

Who cares if she just wants to be a mom? I don’t even like kids and I think this is a cruel comment.

In the beginning? That’s Kris.

Just incredible. I’m here nor there on babies, and especially celeb babies, but I think if this is what she wanted - to just have a small and important part of her life be normal, I’m really glad she got it. Congratulations to them on the birth of a healthy baby girl!

Yeah I find Kylie vapid af but I cried watching the video. Good for her for getting this experience she’s so joyous about.

35 and while my partner and I agree that we’re undecided about kids in general, AND we’re old enough to deal with it one way or the other, the whole “unplanned” word applied to my own possible pregnancy still makes my skin chill.

Right? If anything, this quiet, out of the blue video pretty much lays that to rest. So far we’re 0-3 on that front since none of them waited for the show to announce anything.

Judgemental much? God beware women wanting partnership and family, with men you don’t approve of!

Being knocked up is honestly my worst nightmare. Because a) I’m vain and terrified of changing shape and b) I don’t particularly like children. Really cementing my status as a prize asshole here.

“What no? Why? She’s too young!!” My inner reaction anytime anyone I know who is younger than me gets pregnant. I’m 31. I know at this age it’s not normal, but it’s just what goes through my head. My husband got the snip, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made, but I still worry about it sometimes.

Mhm. I’m sick of everyone’s hot takes on why she chose to be mum on the situation. She hasn’t done anything to cause us to believe it was for profit.

This is a shitty comment. There’s nothing wrong with aspiring to motherhood. It’s a valid thing to want to do. You’re projecting your issues on to someone else and that’s fucked up. Get therapy and work that shit out.

Her image wasn’t based in hyper sexuality, it was grounded in privileged capitalism. That’s the lure for her fans. “Lucky rich chick, let me buy her shit.” So it might have been I’m her favor to let magazines track her ever bowel movement during this pregnancy. Hell, she’s 20. She still looked cute with a 34 week…

Meanwhile I’m still scared about unplanned pregnancy and I’m 29.
