It would open my eyes that I’m not doing enough to protect and raise the kids I have.
I stopped having kids after I had a special needs kid. It took so much time. I’ve always felt my other kids didn’t get enough from me. I knew it when they were little, and we’ve talked about it since they are adults. Having more kids would have been worse. (I love my special needs kid. She’s a doll, and all the extra work has paid off! She couldn’t talk until she was 5, and now she’s going to college.)
If my kid did something like Josh, I would think there is work to do in my family with my existing kids. It’s hard to just be pregnant. It just seems like the parents are more concerned about the number of kids instead of the quality of life of those kids.
I understand a bit more now; thanks for sharing.
