Feeling Pressured to Support Family's Baby Boom – Am I Wrong?
In my family, there’s a lot of praise for those who have more children. My sister and cousin keep expanding their families, and everyone seems thrilled for them. But here’s the thing: my sister has never worked, lives off benefits, and her partner has a history of violence. Meanwhile, my cousin, a former drug dealer, now boasts about his “success” while his partner stays home.
I, on the other hand, worked hard for six years, earned top grades, and now have a decent job I enjoy—but it doesn’t pay enough to support kids. I’ve tried to have children, but it didn’t work out, and I’ve had 11 jobs in 10 years due to my ADHD. When I don’t gush over their new babies, I’m labeled as jealous.
I’m considering cutting ties because their drama, especially my sister’s volatile situation, is too stressful. Am I wrong for feeling this way?
