Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

    I was pregnant as the oldest daughter- three month later my sister told us she’s pregnant too. My mother (having a boyfriend of my age at that time): “Oh wouldn’t it be fun if I get pregnant too now?”

    I couldn’t believe what I heard (she is an abusive parent, only 2 of her 9 children contact her at all now, the other have gone non-contact)

      I kind of feel like when she’s had 9 kids you shouldn’t be surprised when she thinks about going for 10 tbh

      Lady likes getting knocked up, you know this

            she was a mentally ill abuser if the kids she gave birth to and the kids she fostered she took in for the money only but maybe being pregnant meant something special for her, idk. her saying that definitely ruined being pregnant for me that day (got only 1 child, will never get more)

                Oh sorry I guess I am slightly triggered by this story so my answers aren’t the best (and not english native). Have never thought about this sequence since 16 years, just because of OPs question it came back to mind.

                I still can’t grasp the thoughts or believe-system she was having to say that out loud when everyone of her children was severely traumatised (but that’s a conversation for another time)
