I get more:
>I hate this child for taking away my freedom

I feel like this projection really says how she feels about parenting...

She did just say they only had one car and this is the 80s if that adds anything.

Okay, partner mentioned... but also... apparently its more common to outsource taking care of your children

Than just... being there for them. Does she realize that most white families are... working class and can't afford private "help"??

"my mom doesn't drive to save time"
"my mom must have hate me"
maybe she likes exercising or want to save on gas money 🤦‍♂️

that's the only reason

I'm telling you. She must resent her child

Hope that graduate school education was worth the investment

3 guesses whether the certificate worth something at the end <:KEK:726877368601411624>

She seems genuinely surprised the state isnt taking care of her child after she divorced

Wouldn't she be getting alimony?

She wants us to live in commune pods...

lol pod people

REVOLUTIONARY

"certainly, i'm staying afloat not because i work for it, but because everything was given to me. unfortunately, my luck runs short"

wouldn't it depends? if they never get married or formally live long together, she wouldn't have alimony? 🤔

I dont think she has alimony or any claim to it.

anything that starts saying "we should be a collective" makes me cringe

yeah, together strong. but collective/equitable means you're enacting policies that "force" stronger people to carry other's weight

Same. Usually the people who talk like that... want to force the collective, not make it voluntary involvement

Exactly

I have to deal with a bunch of socialist teachers and students at my school

it's really annoying

All they talk about is the collective

Back, what insane bs did I miss

It's very freaky... listening to the 'collective' language...

what does she mean?

I FINISHED chapter 1 finally. Basically, in the end, what she wants to ignore and destroy anything for the nuclear family and have a state-created living spaces where everyone raises everyone else's children and takes them to school and whatnot

Tf

Nah

She thought about the time she was in school and met another single mother there and they took turns watching each other's children

She wants that, but forced by the state basically because she doesn't feel supported enough to do it on her own and she thinks the city as it is now is anti-woman for not helping her take more care of her child

This is the end of chapter 1

Dude, the two paragraphs contradict each other.

Nothing new there. She'll say something, next paragraph, she contradicts it immediately
