Replies to '08/19 Tired of Being a Mom'

Could be I'm a selfish person, but I don't hurt anyone.  Never would I adopt a special needs child.  The sacrifices to me would make my life hell, and would seep over onto the child. I saw this show, wondering what Robyn thought she would be in for with Alyssa.  I think it best to stay away from this situation because you are not forced into it, you choose it.  It sure beats wanting to send her back, hating her, and having a joyless life.

Now with Alex...I do not judge that woman, I worry about her.  Like it or not, abortions are legal, and amnio is available .  If you feel that way, have the test and abort.  Watching that life, I would rather be dead myself than to face it every day.

I know there are people who do it joyfully.  I could not.  Some people can.  Some cannot.

I have two children.  They are 5 years apart because it was the way my husband and I planned to have our family.  I had an amnio both times, an alpha fetal protein test, which is a simple blood test, I had sonagarams.  Had I learned of a serious birth defect, I admit to it, I would have aborted.  After my second, my tubes were tied.  We pay our bills, obey the laws, raise our daughters to be responsible human beings.  We save money for college, ask nothing from anyone.  We pay tax, work, and yes, we do enjoy life.  I'm not sorry.  Believe me, I have had my share of hearaches in other ways.  Ways that may have put some of the more righteous posters away.  You wouldn't  have wanted mine, and I don't want this.

Judge me as you choose.  I see Dr. Phil and Robin stopped at two.  Nobody is raking them over the coals. 

The third woman did not have to have four kids.  Her husband could have had a vasectomy, if she didn't want tubal ligation.

In todays world, there are not the close families or supoort teams.  Families live far apart, they have their own things, and today, most people go to work.  Support is not a phone call saying hope all is well.

The show only made me stronger in my conviction that I could not do this.  I don't want to.  It is not in me. 

I did not see it in either Cyndi or Robyn.  The children are not in the best homes, and yes, their lives are hell.  Love the kids enough to give them to someone who has what we lack.  Realize, we have talents they they may lack.  It's not a contest, but a life choice. 

Sorry if I offended anyone, but that show only showed the tip of the iceberg.  Hell to one, is a gift to another.  So give the kids to people who have the ability to do this and not live in hell. Most people could not live like that.  Alyssa would have been sent back and Alex would have been placed.  Think people don't do it?  Think again.  I do not judge anyone who has an abortion.  I would.  I don't desreve to be slapped, arrested or have anything done to me that was suggested on this topic, for the idea of terminating pregnancy.  You don't have to have one, but it is legal, and I am one person who would.
