You absolutely don't have to! Parenthood is not always an instant connection. I loved my child, sure, but they were more like a needy roommate to start off. I developed the bond as we went. It eventually clicked after some months.

And remember: you always love your child– but it's okay to have times where you just sometimes don't like them. Especially good to remember during the toddler stage!

It's been used by people for nefarious purposes, regardless of its original intent. Both perspectives are valid.

edit: sexist horseshit is not a valid perspective.

If I'm remembering right, wasn't this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?

Yep. Found it.

Yeah, babies are ugly. Don't think I've ever seen a baby I would consider "cute". Grody little misshapen potato humans.

Yeah, it's true.

Honestly, I didn't even like mine, to begin with. But they grew on me. The hormones had me tolerating all the craziness that small creature put me through.

Love 'em to bits now that they've grown past that stage!

As someone who has a child and is also a survivor of abuse: it's in very poor taste to compare babies to abusers.

Y'all testin' me.

All she had to do was specify between the two. She did not. I had to get the info from someone else.

But then again, I'm probably the fool for assuming her common sense is at least baseline.

It wasn't even a yes-or-no question!!!

"Was it this guy? Or the other guy?" = "Yes"

I hope my pain brought people joy.

Wield it like a baseball bat. That'll teach him!

I was about to go over there and give her a medical emergency.

He's doing better now, thanks!

But my dear sister is still the same, unfortunately.

Here's my sister giving me some serious news about a family member.

Didn't they take away crowd-sourced subtitles before?

Australia & New Zealand deny immigrants with an autism diagnosis!

I'd sew stuffed animals donate them to hospitals. I would also put on scavenger hunts for kids to find them around town! It'd be a good activity for kids to do with their siblings, parents, friends, etc.

I would open up a bearded dragon rescue again and possibly turn it into a sanctuary!

I'd learn how to use saws and do woodworking to create fun & interesting furniture! I can already do upholstery, but I'd love to make something from the ground up.

I'd apply for a wildlife rehab permit & help animals.

I'd learn how to code games and put my rusty Blender skills to work!

Gosh.. there's honestly so much I'd like to do.. but I am poor, uninsured, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, so I don't have the time or money to do any of it.

It's nice to think about, though.

Herps herps herps!!

Yeah, he's a silkback. Less of a "morph" and more of a genetic nightmare. Definitely would never recommend to anyone who doesn't have a ton of time & money to spend caring for them, + extensive experience with bearded dragon care. A leatherback is the best option of you're looking for a bit of a smoother dragon!

Revy is adorable!! What breed & morph is she?

You're correct! But he has a genetic defect, so he looks pretty different from a standard healthy dragon.
