My wife and I got falsely reported to CPS by our neighbors. Despite the report being anonymous, I know who did it, because their 8 year old kid told me their parents called.

Lol okay. Eugenics is about genes - I never mentioned genes, and in my case it’s irrelevant as I can’t have biological kids. I would never raise a child because I’m a big enough person to know that I’m simply not stable enough. I don’t know anything about your wife - I hope for her children’s sake that she was a good parent. But more than genes, traumatic parenting can completely fuck up a kid’s life - and it doesn’t have to be abuse, watching your parent have a three hour mental breakdown involving self harm would be pretty fucking traumatic. My point is you shouldn’t have kids unless you’re extremely stable - what happens if something happened to OP? You know, the person who had to calm her down throughout the whole breakdown? A child needs a healthy and stable parent - some people with mental illness can provide that. But it’s setting a child up for a lifetime of pain and therapy if you’re too prideful to admit that you can’t properly raise a child when you’re struggling with mental illness
