Uhhh... looks at her age

UHHHHHHHH

The child looks about two but the fetus gestates for 9 months, this woman likely got pregnant at 14 and gave birth at 15, that rarely happens for consensual reasons, so I'm pretty horrified.

My mom lost her business when I was really little, and once we settled down somewhere new, she started working as a receptionist for an environmental company. She used to have to bring me to work with her sometimes. Everyone in the office was super chill about it, but if Ed, the owner/complete asshole was there, I had to hide under her desk until he left.

We need a lot of changes, but honestly, a UBI with an extra stipend for parents is one of the big ones. people can't afford to have kids, can't afford to lose their jobs because of their kids. Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed when they're old if no one is having kids?

I can't tell if this is a joke or if someone actually thought this was uplifting.
