Content creator posting a video about purposely getting pregnant with #2 knowing her marriage was ending
A reels came up on my instagram this morning by a content creator happily admitting to getting pregnant when she knew she was nearing the end of her marriage. Not to save the marriage which would have been horrifying in itself, but because she wanted to give her first child a sibling that badly, even with the knowledge that she was about to become a single mom. Shockingly the comment section was super supportive, many even saying they would have done the same.
My jaw was on the floor. Hoping I misread something or that it was satire/rage baiting, but seeing so many people agree with it was astounding. Felt like I was gaslit for a minute. I hate being reminded that OAD is still so demonized.
Update to add more details/context: as the commenters who have seen the video have mentioned, her main purpose of having another was to support her first child so she wouldn’t be alone dealing with divorced parents. She also mentioned her ex was an only and alluded to that being the reason he sucks (paraphrasing, don’t remember her exact words). I do appreciate seeing the different perspectives though so thanks to everyone commenting whether they are as appalled as me or not.
