You have to choose between your kids, one will live and the other won't. Could you?

I don’t even have kids and don’t particularly even like them and I can’t imagine any choice more difficult than that.

I couldn’t, and I don’t have kids. My sister has three kids and when I want to fuck with her I ask, “Which one is your favorite?” It pisses her off so much.

I’m not sure if that answered your question.

@johnpowell Sure did. It made me smile. BTW- great interview. It’s cuz of guys like you that I’ve decided to stay and swim a bit.

It physically hurts me to even think about it.

@johnpowell I tried that on my sister once. She picked.

I’m not a parent but if I were, the answer would be simple. You make sure that a situation never presents itself where you would be forced to make a choice as horrible as that. You always choose for both children to live, every time. I cannot even begin to imagine how painful it would have been for someone to have to make a decision like this.

And I’m with @elijahsuicide on this – it hurts to even think about this – even with me not being a parent.

No I could not do that… I love them both equally. I’d rather kill myself before doing that desision.

@johnpowell Also, if that’s the sister who has ruined peanut butter for you, SHE DESERVES TO BE PISSED OFF! >:-[

We have two daughters & there’s NO WAY on this earth that I’d ever be able to do that. I gave them life & there could never be a circumstance to make me choose between the two. Never! What a horrendous thought.

I. Could. Not. Do. It. I would die myself before even considering it. @elijahsuicide you describe it perfectly, it makes me physically ill to even contemplate this. To think there are parents who have actually had to give this a second thought brings tears to my eyes and makes me want to grab my kids and never let go.

My ex bf’s family was under Nazi occupation in Russia during WWll and they did have to make this decision. All the men and most young boys (older than toddlers) had been taken away and shot in the forest, only a baby and toddler boy remained in his immedite home. The toddler boy was hidden most hours in a hole in the ground under a kitchen area and fed on his mother’s breast milk since there was so little food and even then she didn’t have milk for long due to malnutrition. The baby boy starved, the mother consciously chose to give the most of her milk to the toddler boy.

Yeah, just the thought makes me sick to my stomach..
I only have one child, I do want another, but I often wonder how I’ll ever be able to love someone else as much as I love my son. It doesn’t seem possible.

@casheroo you don’t have to divide your love, it just doubles! :-)

@elijahsuicide or triples!!!

I’m with you 100%. I have 3 that are mine in every way except biologically, and I would have to die before I could make that decision.

Nope, couldn’t do it. Would rather that it’d be me.
