Unpopular Opinion: Do you think Multiple BMs/BDs is a sign of mental instability?
Being the child of a scenario like this, I want to ask others to make it make sense or shine a light on something we probably easily ignore.
In society, the social norm is marriage and then kids (or at least that’s what the intended model was supposed to be.) When one divorces and meets someone else, remarries and has more kids, it’s a blended family.
However, how do people who have never married their child(ren)’s other parent continue having multiple kids with various partners with not one hint of marriage to the people they brought life into this world. A reasonable person would stop at 1 person or if they make it to two, then they’re remarried.
But when they have multiple mothers or fathers for their kids, does that not give signs that someone’s a little off or mentally unstable? I’m not trying to put labels but that’s not normal or healthy for the kids involved in those situations. Where’s the stability? Who’s creating generational wealth and passing down knowledge and resources?
Just having babies to leave them in poverty or a stagnant environment where they will not have a leg up in life is crazy to me.
