You are overly involved in your friends' decision-making about parenting. Limit your judgments about the wisdom of this to your own life.

If I were your friend and aware that you are thinking so much about my personal decisions, I would be very uncomfortable with this. It really, truly, is none of your business.

Maternal instinct (and reproductive instinct) is very powerful to the point of making irrational decisions. Really most human instinct flies in the face of reason. I happened to have a kid who was an easy baby, and an easy child. Plus my mother helped a lot with giving me breaks, as most grandparents adore their grandkids. So in spite of my alone-time requirements and all the rest, i was at my best when interacting with my kid. That did change when she became a heroin and crack addict but thats another story....

You can always give advice but it might be best if you let them make their own decisions.

If you start saving now, you may be able to afford a nice lego set gift for the kid's 10th birthday.

Now you've said that, I really want to start thinking about it.

Everyone has to think of something,right?

Even nothing is something if it's a thought.

I'm already thinking about it.

given that most experiences would be unique,
the title encouraged my curiosity.

Yeah, well, the post is gone, but you can still see the immediate response I got. Apparently it wasn't an okay post to make.

You can PM me if you really want to know, I guess.

It was fine.

I didnt see it but I know it was fine.

All posts are. Even ones that on the surface are not liked.

Everyone is an idiot unless you agree with them, then they're quite sensible.
