if there's one thing i've learned from writing about her childcare experiences it's that i really owe it to my hypothetical future wife to repair my relationship with my parents so they can be roped into childcare for our hypothetical future kids
Conversation
wonder if this is this something women think about in the dating scene? "yeah he's good at sex and got a big heart but does he also have a good relationship with his parents so they can look after our kid(s) for a weekend"

i want to be clear that this is coming from a baseline position where i am extremely supportive of people hating their parents, cutting contact with their parents, etc. i've heard some really fucked up stories
there's just a cost to doing this i hadn't been factoring in
Replying to
it wasn't a calculation for child care reasons, but i was extremely impressed with my gf (now wife)'s relationship not only with her parents, but entire extended family
wife tells me that she was impressed with how i dealt with kids (treated them like humans)
