Is there a limit for what you'd do for your DC?

I would let someone put a bullet to my head for DC.

But H was talking about how he would go to 'the further' for DC and I said I wouldn't! Too scary, endless jump scares

Is there a limit to what you'd do for your DC?

I must be missing something?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 27/01/2023 18:39

He’d go where, now?

fairysimples · 27/01/2023 18:42

It's specific to a circumstance I think.

I'd kill for them in a life or death kill or be killed. But I wouldn't commit or cover up a murder.

I'd give my life up in heartbeat for any of them and not even think twice.

Do you mean kill someone for your DC?

If it’s self-defence, yes. I would think most parents are capable of it.

PuttingDownRoots · 27/01/2023 18:47

I would physically defend my children with all that I have.

I wouldn't bungee jump for them.

I'm currently watching from the sidelines of the rugby pitch on a dark freezing evening. Definitely a selfless act.

riotlady · 27/01/2023 18:51

Depends what you mean by “for” them. I’d do literally anything to prevent them dying, for example, but I wouldn’t go into debt to take them on holiday

Ilovelurchers · 27/01/2023 18:52

I too would go to the further.

Ooo you're brave. I just couldn't do it Sad feel terrible! H says I'm a terrible mum if I wouldn't and he is only half joking

Whilst the further looks absolutely bloody terrifying (I’ve just googled it!) I’d absolutely go there if I had to to get my babies back safe and sound. Or send DH if he could go, he’d fare much better than I 😂 other than that, I’d give my life for theirs, take someone else’s life if it was theirs or my kids, the usual stuff.

What is go to the further? I've googled but I'm only getting going further

It's like a different universe that's mirroring ours. It's from the insidious series

I love those films and knew what you meant haha. Yes I would go to the further.

Ilovelurchers · 27/01/2023 18:52

Had to read up on what it was, but yes. I would go to The Further if it meant my child didn't have to.

Mossstitch · 27/01/2023 19:12

When your young and in love you say 'I'd die for them'......... When you have children the love is on a different level 'I'd kill to protect them'......... And I'm a pacifist😂

siroodlesofnoodles · 27/01/2023 19:19

I would do anything for my children if it was to save them from dying.

Including the Further.

I wouldn't murder someone they asked me to or anything crazy like that, but kill or have them killed? No bother. 💅🏽

Snugglemonkey · 27/01/2023 19:26

I would go to the further. The killing someone would depend on the circumstances, but if it was to save my child's life, I would not hesitate. I would never cover up crimes like sexual offences or murder for them. They have to face their own consequences.

I once read a book in which a woman's baby was kidnapped and she had to kill 5 people to get her back. She could hear her baby being hurt. I read it pre being a parent and seriously thought noone would do that, but actually, those people would be fucked if someone was hurting my baby.

DarkShade · 27/01/2023 19:45

Yes I absolutely would to protect or save him, I would do anything. I wouldn't go to the further if it meant he could go on holiday or something trivial like that.
