    Font - AskAubry @ask_aubry When Gen X start turning into boomers.. I'm Gen X, and I have a huge problem with how I am left carrying the weight for millenials. For example. I'm 42 and my daughter is 22. She decided a while ago she does not want any kids. She's actually getting a procedure for sterilization next year. But those souls needing to come into our family for ancestral or karmic reasons still need to be born. So I'm stuck birthing and raising two babies who should have been born to her b

    Font - My Inquiring Mind @sdsmithtweets Replying to @ask_aubry It's the opposite. People have babies for selfish reasons. Carrying on the family name, filling "an empty spot" in their life, etc. I think it's extremely responsible and righteous to NOT have kids when you know it's not the best thing for you or the kids.

    Font - Darci-AceCatLady @AceCatLady Replying to @ask_aubry 22 yo are gen z. Unless this is old. Or is this just the constant "anyone we don't like is a millennial" thing. Actually I think 41ish is about the top edge of millennial this year I think so they're barely gen X.

    Font - WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MUTATES AND TRIES AGAIN Ronald Snelgrove @ronaldsnelgrove Replying to @ask_aubry I don't know of "GenX" is the takeaway here. She believes that there's a queue of babies that must be born into her family. Come hell of high water she's going to ensure that it happens. That last paragraph doesn't make it sound like the toddler is really wanted.

    Font - Lee Crawford @Vampire337 Replying to @ask_aubry Generation warfare aside, this is what happens when we feel the need to control things which are not ours to control. Souls & karma will manage themselves. Better to stick to learning what you need to in your short time here.
