Re: Weird and/or unpopular reasons you won't read/watch certain things

[(Anonymous)]

I have a profound "ugh" reaction to descriptions of new parenthood where it's described as this wondrous experience that alters the way a character looks at life and themself, and where they love their perfect offspring from the depths of their very soul from the first instant they lay eyes on them.

I know that's actually what it's like for a lot of new parents, but for some reason it just puts me off so, so badly. Probably because I feel like it gets shoved down my throat so often and for the most part it's not even openly questioned (except occasionally in discussions of postpartum depression). The thing is, I don't think I really want kids. And if I do end up having a kid I just know it's going to be a long, challenging process where my love for them is forged slowly over time. I honestly cannot imaging loving something that just emerged from my body.

Really, I feel most comfortable when a character's reaction to being a new parent is numb exhaustion and emotional dissociation. The farther towards transcendent joy it gets, the more I nope the fuck out of there.
