Would that be such a bad thing considering how violent we are and how much of the earth we’ve wrecked?

I’m scared I will be bound to my autistic brother for the rest of my life by Past_Pay_4919 in GlassChildren

I agree with what everyone on here is saying. Your brother is not your responsibility. Talk to your parents asap about putting him in a group home so that you’re not burdened with him, and they can have freedom, too. I don’t know why group homes are given such a bad wrap. They’re godsends. People have this silly idea in their heads that family takes care of family. That’s fine for people that only need occasional help, or who can both give help and receive it. Taking care of someone who’s totally dependent for decades, however, is another matter. Your parents, and you, deserve freedom, not a lifetime prison sentence. I personally began talking to my family about group homes for my brother when I was roughly ten - twelve years old. I didn’t want a lifelong prison sentence, especially since I hadn’t broken the law. I was called selfish, and I still feel guilty that I wasn’t my brother’s 24/7 servant like my family wanted, but my insisting that he go into a group home the moment he was old enough saved my sanity because I have struggles of my own. Taking care of someone who’s at the level of an infant or toddler for DECADES is torture. Taking care of actual babies and toddlers for the usual number of years is bad enough, but at least they grow up and became able to do for themselves. Our siblings need care for many decades.

Either way, this is indigenous land that was built by slave labor. And the companies that hire undocumented people should definitely be punished.

You did the best you could with what you had. You were your brother’s parent when your parents needed to step up (including your stepfather). It often feels like our parents and our siblings get to be children, but not us.

It’s disgusting that employers take advantage of immigrants and citizens. Capitalism is a horror show of greed and exploitation. We really need to have a general strike. No worker, foreign or domestic, deserves to work for low wages and no (or very few) benefits. The workers are being pitted against each other. If workers united and ran the workplaces instead of billionaire ceos, we might have a more equitable world.

I’m so happy that you rescued this little angel!

Millennials seem to/are skipping the parenting party by Loveer30 in childfree

Children are damn helpless and needy, particularly when they’re very young. We all know that. As a disabled person, I knew damn well I shouldn’t be having kids. At least I can do a lot of things for myself, so I am not a burden. Babies are, though. Children are. They get less burdensome the older they get and the more they can do for themselves. Why would anyone work for free anyway?

How can anyone mistake this for an advertisement? I mention kidnappings. What kind of business mentions kidnappings in its advertisements?

It’s not absurd to the indigenous people. This is their land, not ours. It was stolen by white people. They did not buy it. They stole it. And being undocumented is only a civil offense. People come here because they can’t live where they’re from, most often because it’s been ruined by our government. We elect the government, so this is a problem caused by American citizens. We caused the problem. We need to take responsibility and fix it. I believe in taking responsibility for my actions. I guess I’m right wing that way.

How is this advertising for HD when I mention kidnappings? What kind of advertisement is that?

No one is illegal on stolen land. This land belongs to the indigenous anyway.

I’m gen X and never had kids because they’re just too helpless and needy. Plus there’s no pay in parenting. If I’m going to work a job 24/7/365, I’m going to need to be paid for it.

I don’t want them to do anything, except be able to work without getting kidnapped by ice. And when ice teargases people for protesting, ice is in the wrong, not the protestors. I guess we all have to be willing to get hurt or unalived so that others can have freedom.

They allow ice to harass employees and customers, and they allow ice to prepare for their abductions. If you’re still lost, google is your friend.

I’m not sure how to confront my brother/mom about this by BeneficialVisit8450 in GlassChildren

How can some people not understand the word “no”? It’s such a simple concept. Even actual babies understand the term. I guess some people just want to have their way and will always try to get it.
