what kind of person would do that to their kid?
The kind that have baby rabies and are desparate for more children. 60 year old women going through fertility treatments spend tens of thousands of dollars to concieve, why not just use the perfecty fertile womb of their child? Or worse, why not sell it to those desparate 60 year old women?

Ours is a culture that glorifies childbirth (though not parenting) as the greatest and single most important thing a woman can do. It creates this mentality of "must have a child at all costs." What kind of person would do that to their kid? The kind of person who falls prey to such cultural paradigms, or worse, those who are desparate for money and willing to sell their daughters for those who are deep into that cultural paradigm.

The problem is our economic structure makes it extremely difficult and expensive to raise a child, and society has a hand in that as well. It used to be "spare not the rod and spoil not the child" now it's "bow to your kid's will because smacking them is abuse" which I call "bullshit."
