  • Okay but that’s because you haven’t experienced it. It’s not something you consciously control, it’s an automatic process that your brain triggers for you in that particular situation. You currently lack the chemicals to feel that way because there’s no kid to feel that way about for you. Which is fine. Just accept that it’s outside of your frame of reference.

    I can’t imagine not wanting to draw all day. How does that work? Why wouldn’t you want to do nothing but draw? So weird how people choose to do other things instead.


  • I am uncertain why nobody has said this but here goes.

    The brain is very good at recognising babies and making you like them, especially if it considers them yours. An important part of pregnancy and giving birth is that the mother’s brain produces hormones that make her attached to the kid. That’s to make sure she doesn’t just abandon the little shit the second it starts being annoying. This also includes the father, if he’s involved with the process, albeit probably to a slightly lesser degree because it’s by proxy. To them, that kid isn’t “new” but, as it were, has been around for several months already.

    That’s why you’re coming across as absurdly weird saying that parents can’t have formed an emotional attachment with their newborn.

    Edit: I said “she” for mothers and “he” for fathers but any pronouns apply of course.
