I genuinely don’t know if this is a new thing or I just managed to avoid it but lately I’ve heard, read, etc from so many people who are not allowed any sort of life at all because they have a child.
For example
the woman who doesn’t colour her hair because her natural hair colour is the same as her daughter’s and her daughter might think there’s something wrong with x colour hair
The woman who will never drink orange juice as her son loves it and she wants to make sure that every time he fancies a glass, it’s there
The woman who will not attend a child free family event as it’s mkre important her children know she is always there for them
People who insist that they can’t have, for example, a bar of chocolate when their child isn’t there unless they buy them a bigger bar
All the people who claim they cannot drink a coffee or go for a wee because their child won’t let them
Admittedly my children are older teens/young adults now but I am sure that my entire life didn’t end because they were born. I’m sure I was still a person as well.
When did that become a bad thing?

To be glad this apparent new trend of being a martyr has passed me by?
