“Breast feeding is hard.”
Yes, Sammie, it is. Raising a child is hard at times, even in the most ideal situation…not that you’d know, because your mom raises yours. If you actually do raise a child, it’s generally rewarding. Not the instant gratification you get from random black man hook up or internet ass pasta, but rewarding on a soul level. Even when the Vinegar Kitten is in a crappy mood, I can’t imagine loving anyone or anything else more than him. I can’t imagine just pawning him off so I could chase wiener. I’ve had to be separated for work travel before and I felt like crying. Maybe I’m just too sensitive or wired differently, I dunno.
It makes me sad when I think about the life and love we could give Skywalker. We’re not rich but she’d get her emotional, physical, educational and scholastic needs met (and not just the bare minimum). I’ll bet no one ever reads to her until she gets story time in school.
