Please see my ETA.

Ahhh so you’re a potential adoptive parent… makes sense now

This is exactly my point. Thank you for putting this into words. I'm not shitting on people's unique experiences and traumas that no one else can understand. I'm simply confused by the tone of this sub.

You keep avoiding the question. What part of the adoption triad are you?

My wife is a foreigner and she is so scared of offending or setting her off. So I'm the one that deals with the fallout.

It sounds like both of you need some major therapy if you can’t even tell this woman not to come into your home and take your stuff from YOUR child. You both are parents now and you need to stand up to people to protect your child and if you can’t do that you need major help.

You can’t be serious?

okay if you’re trying to say im gonna go into debt by doing pennfoster they have payment plans and i would much rather go into debt than suffer bullying and have anxiety every day

I’m so sorry that you went through that. That must have been so horrible. I’m glad you found something that works for you and that you’re safe.

what does that even mean?

What does what mean? What’s a private equity firm?

Quoting words as words. This refers to the practice of enclosing a word or phrase within quotation marks to emphasize it or to refer to it directly rather than using it in its ordinary context. This is often done to discuss the word itself, its meaning, or its usage rather than incorporating it into the sentence as part of the main text.

Usually people put the word in all caps in order to do that because using quotes has become a way to say something is a so called teacher

Only boomers use all caps 🤪

lol I meant just for the one word to emphasize it but yes, you’re correct in that boomers, for some odd reason, tend to use ALL caps hahahaha!

Saying adoption is unethical under any circumstances is a pretty difficult position to defend. It's not hard to come up with a scenario where it is the only ethical option.

You are entitled to your beliefs and opinions but OP didn’t come here for a debate or for someone to say that they think OP is wrong. They asked a specific question.

I didn't engage with them after they mentioned self harm, but happy to engage with you. No, people are not just "entitled to their opinions" without challenge if those opinions are uninformed and harmful if actually enacted.

You make the rules in this subreddit?

I’m still confused, if you’re safe for 7 days why do doctors and websites make it sound like such a big deal if you miss a pill

Girllllll

Yeah, because we know how well-run and efficient things are when the government takes over lol - the ones that already exist in that town don't even have beds.

Yikes!

Do you know what slavery means ? It means you are not free to leave. You are someone’s property.

For some they can’t leave. Read the article. There’s no where else to go and they can’t even stay on the streets and they can’t “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” by looking for jobs because the “Christian” organization won’t allow them to look for jobs.

But people still do it

I see a lot of Christians attacking other Christians for not being as “Christian” as they are.

Bingo

Why do women do this to their kids?

What research has shown you that this is only a liberal or progressive thing? Can you link to that study?

Why does it HAVE to be private adoption?

I already do that for a mother.I assist financially and with care for a little girl and her soon to be baby sister. I help mom with anything and everything I can

So keep doing it

Why does he know that you have money!? Keep your mouth shut girl no one needs to know you have money!

Not from Mississippi but this came up in my feed and I just took a parent NCAA seminar so I thought I’d pass the information on.

Yes this is him. I'm blind sided by all this behaviour right now. I may actually be in denial because of my situation. But I'm aware this is a pattern of behaviour that will need to be addressed as soon as I'm able.

Stop having babies with him and get your kids and get the hell out of there!!

INFO: are your finances completely co-mingled otherwise? Why aren’t you renting their properties out and using the rent to cover costs?

This whole thing sounds fake AF and written by a teenager

Ding ding ding here it is folks, only five comments down to find the "you might want to consider splitting up your family" comment!

How many times has she told him to stop doing this and it’s not working, what do you suggest sweetheart?

They think that it's bad because like here, there's a lot of corruption. It's everywhere tho, so saying it is kinda pointless

Corruption here? How so?

Financial aid isn’t that much money. 😂

If you’re as poor as you say you are and not a dependent then you’re doing it wrong if you’re not getting a lot of aid

Forbids you? lol you can go where you want

I am also a woman and I agree with you completely. You don’t get to remove sex from the table and then expect sexual fidelity. It isn’t fair.

If you’re not getting what you need out of a relationship you get divorced you don’t cheat

OK she sucks but not everything is a crime, chill.

Putting your hands on a minor is assault

That's not homeschooling, that's neglect.

But since there are little to no regulations when it comes to homeschooling depending on your state, legally, if the parent calls their neglect homeschooling, it’s homeschooling according to the state whether YOU think it’s homeschooling or not.

Regulations don't help they just remove freedom.

That’s not true

He paid for hair transplant with tax money

If you mean his salary is paid by tax payers and he used his salary to get a hair transplant you’d be correct (if he did in fact have hair transplants)

Okay ...

Your husband needs to get his shit together or you need to leave with your son instead of putting it on your son. Holy crap
