Oh wow.
Had she done that when you were younger and she assumed you would have kids? I can kinda empathise with that. Making them I mean... But giving them to you...? Yeesh.
The boomers assumed we'd follow the same predetermined path as they did. My mum certainly thought I would, and so did I up until my late 20s. It was then when I realised whenever I thought about having kids it was with a sense of dread for something I assumed was inevitable.
Lucky for me my sister had a whole bunch so the pressure was off.
What's really interesting to me is how much time they invest in this stuff. It's not exactly interesting. And there's no tangible result for them, other than ending up in court. They do end up having to pay tax or whatever it is they're trying to dodge.
What do they get out of it?
These sovcits obsessed with sticking to the DMV just seem like flat earthers - there's no actual point to the obsession.
