I guess in a way I AM SELFISH. I fostered these babies since they turned a little over 2 weeks. The constant feedings, needing to be stimulated. It had me so wore out and exhausted. They are now eating and pooping on their own at 7 weeks. I couldn't be more relieved to be honest. Feedings were stressful at times. There is 1 of me and 4 of them. I lost 2 to fading kitten syndrome and it broke my heart. I won't be looking to foster kittens actively but I would absolutely do it again if it meant saving a life. Kitten Lady on YouTube helped me tremendously. I always knew I loved my sleep but damn. MOTHERHOOD SUCKED!!! I could not imagine doing this for 18 years. 5 days in the sleep deprivation was terrible. I was living off Bang energy drinks. I got so overwhelmed I had an emotional break down. Kitty has since been spayed. The vet wouldn't do the surgery on her because of how far along she was.

The major reason we are childfree:

Muscular Dystrophy runs in his family. My side had diabetes, thyroid issues, womanly cancers. etc. Mental illness on both ends. with our gene pool our kids would be fucked.

there is a huge list of reasons under this. I love it when people ask me why we don't have kids.

"Dr said I'm sterile. We can't have them. We have been having unprotected sex for 3 years now." immediate response, "Oh my god! I am so sorry. If I knew I wouldn't have asked." I did not lie they just don't know I opted to be sterile. 😂
