How do you know for sure if you want to raise kids or just have them?
Because you cannot walk away once you have one.
Anyway, let’s talk about this woman who woke up one morning and decided that motherhood was holding her back from her wanderlust era.
In a now-viral video, the young mom casually says, “I really don’t care,” as she talks about dropping off her 7-year-old daughter for the last time to be picked up by her new adoptive parents.
She claims it’s a turning point, not because of emotional growth, but because she’s about to sell her house, buy an RV, and travel the world with her boyfriend.
Romantic, if you forget the whole “giving up your child” part.
Note: The video below is from the TikTok account ashyassss, who reshares real stories. This is not her personal story.
See…there are two perspectives here. At least now the kid can have parents who actually want her. But then again, you know you’ll have that feeling of family. My own daughter, my own mom. That’s different.
Also, I do not get how some women don’t have this sense of care and motherhood towards their own children. If the kid grew up to be a mess and destroys his or her own life, I get it if parents got tired of them, but kids under 10 years? What did they ever do to not receive any love?
They’re blank pages. All they know at that age is their mom and dad.
Today, people who don’t want kids anymore are growing a lot, but most people in this era will not be good parents. It can be because of the work they do, the freedom they chase, or just because they want to escape from responsibility.
Either way, I feel like if you’re not up to being a parent, it’s better to suffer alone than to make your kids suffer too by bringing them into this wicked world.
THE WHY: NARCISSISM
4/5 stars for this story because the idea of calling child abandonment self-care is something that, even in this day and age, shouldn’t be normalized.
“Look, most of us want a normal life without any drama, but life in this world is always strange, and uncertain.

That’s it. No strings. Just you, me, and this stupid world.”
