Conclusion: kids are the cause of 60% of divorces.
They might not be the original cause but often they are part of the process. Some people seem to think that a child will fix their already strained relationship. The problem is that while children make it harder to split up, they usually don’t fix the underlying reason why the relationship didn’t work in the first place. In the end, they get a divorce anyway only now there is a small human who has to suffer from it.
Congratulations to the few where a child did fix a relationship but for everyone else, maybe sort out your problems before you add another innocent bystander into the mix.
In addition, having kids is a lot of work and takes energy and teamwork and sleepless nights. If you’re not doing great already, adding a pile of stress and exhaustion certainly isn’t going to help.

Reminds me of back when I still drank and got the idea that getting a car would be the way to stop drinking because I’d have to be sober to drive 😄
I did not follow through on that harebrained scheme, but I DID eventually stop drinking and am now closing in on 9 years sober 😁🥳
Congrats 👏🏻 🎉 I just passed the two year mark a few months ago
Thanks! Congrats to you too! 🥳
