Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

I mean it might be true for your mum since she had 9 kids.
she was a mentally ill abuser if the kids she gave birth to and the kids she fostered she took in for the money only but maybe being pregnant meant something special for her, idk. her saying that definitely ruined being pregnant for me that day (got only 1 child, will never get more)
Yeah not defending her to be clear. Maybe being pregnant was something special in her twisted mind in a way.
Oh sorry I guess I am slightly triggered by this story so my answers aren’t the best (and not english native). Have never thought about this sequence since 16 years, just because of OPs question it came back to mind.
I still can’t grasp the thoughts or believe-system she was having to say that out loud when everyone of her children was severely traumatised (but that’s a conversation for another time)
