    That I am so glad that I didn’t have them.

    I literally wouldn’t have been able to afford giving them a good upbringing.

    I am also in my forties and still deeply fucked up emotionally from my parents and from US society in general. I would have been a bad parent.

    I don’t know if it’s the most valuable or even has any value at all, but it’s amazing to actually experience how two kids raised in the same family with the same morals and values, the same guidelines and opportunities, and yet they turn out so dramatically different. One kind and thoughtful, the other self-absorbed and greedy. One who acknowledges their privilege, the other who takes it all for granted.
