This is a terribly selfish thing to do. My parents were in their 40's when I was born. It was not planned, BTW. Now, I am in my 30's, and my dad is 80 and my mom is 75. Before I turn 40, I'm sure I will be caring for my parents full-time. That is not fair. And it is also not fair that I will get to have them with me for only half my life, and my son will be extremely lucky if they see him graduate from high school. And this woman's situation is so much more extreme. She has started right off from day one as a bad mother, IMO.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
