I didn’t think you could make this shit up, honestly

My sister works as a contractor and has run-ins with private schools occasionally and whatever you’ve heard about these parents, it’s worse than you can possibly imagine. I never would’ve thought someone would be so proud of the fact that they treat their children like pawns and clearly something to check off on a life list or some bullshit.

I am struggling to wrap my mind around it. In the year 2023, it is common to ask two dating people when they plan to get married and have kids. Which alone wouldn’t be a bad thing, but these questions are so fucking ominous now that I have this knowledge. Fuuuuuuuck me

    The figures remain the same even with modern obstetric care. Women I speak with are generally scared about going through pregnancy, reasonably.

      That's not my experience with other women that I speak with, and I'd like to see a claim that the figures don't change correlated with wealth

        They do change, but not enough to escape the comparison with live donor nephrectomy.
