I wish i had been a mistake

I've always known for a fact that my birth was planned, and it's always been kind of an issue for me. The fact that my existence is the result of a decision made by two mortals... sounds a little wrong. I don't get why so many are conflicted with having been conceived by accident, as if that was some kind of a dishonor or something. Much to the contrary, that's the way it's supposed to happen (in terms of naturalism). I think it would be a great thing to be here by chance and not owe my life to anyone.

I've always thought that way 13
I'd never thought about it like that but you make sense 40
You don't know what the fuck you are talking about 48

    Mortals? Strange word choice.

    All birth is by chance. Just because your parents wanted to make it happen doesn't mean those cells had any more or less chance of survival. (Abortion aside, not getting into that argument.) If you remove the conscious thought of the parents, all life is exposed to the same risks. And to say that the parents are the ones who determine who is and is not supposed to be here is a strange sentiment and has nothing to do with how life works on a fundamental level.

    I'm a little dismayed that your parents raised you to believe that you "owe" them something.

    Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger. You were an accident. One of many many children that could have been born, but it was you. They didn't plan on YOU. Just a child. The fact you you are here, and not someone else, should be enough for you.

  • Well technically none of us accident children are real accidents because our mothers chose to go through the pregnancy, they could've aborted. And as for your logic at least both parents are on the same page... rather feel like I owe my parents my life rather than knowing I'm resented by one because my existence was not something they wanted. Kinda sucks knowing your dad never wanted you.

    How is that the way it's "supposed to happen"? That makes no sense to me. We have the power of conscious thought and decision-making, and ignoring that in order to make our experiences more "natural" wouldn't be natural at all.

    I don't like to thing of any new life as a mistake to me it's either planned or a happy accident.
    A birth is a miracle planned or unplanned. It's so fascinating that a tiny egg and sperm joined together forms a human being. xxx

    You're an ungrateful asshole, and I regret you were the one sperm that made it.

    okay, now what did your parents do? I don't think. you've any idea how it feels to be a mistake, the grass always seems greener on the other side

    In regards to your last line, even if you were born by mistake you still owe your life to your parents, lol. Now you can stop this ridiculous thought process.

    Almost every single child that was born was an accident.

    Also, while I'm here, abortion is murder. Discuss. :)

    Its selfish to want to have come here by accident, where either one or both parents may not really be wanting that kid and suffer emotionally from it. Being planned means your parents were actually ready for you and would genuinely love you (or at least that's much more likely). Sometimes the kids may suffer too when growing up with parents that aren't ready (whether that is financially or mentally or something else). Accidental pregnancies is really not something to promote

    I owe my existence to a 40 year old man chasing an 18 year old girl,they were never married and every time I have been called a "bastard" I have always replied that they are absolutely correct,my father died when i was 3 and my mother left two weeks after i was born.I was raised by my fathers mother and knew only my fathers family and those relationships were strained to say the least.

    I suggest you reconsider your perspective on being or wanting to be an accident....it's not what you might think it is and your life regardless of its origin is your responsibility anyway

  • I like having been planned, and wanted.

    It seems more honorable.

    I suppose there are pros and cons to both.... But as someone who knows they were a 'mistake', I can tell you it can be a bit weird. I was told as a teenager that my other thought about aborting me as she didn't have much money and knew it would be difficult. My dad was less than interested too. Personally, I feel very lucky that I made it here. The chances, I've been told, were very slim (contraception was used.) And it's funny to think how easily I could have never existed if my mother had decided to abort. I'm very grateful that she didn't, but if she had I can see why and of course, I never would have known. If I were you, I think I'd try to be thankful that I was born to people who really wanted me. Of course I was/am wanted, but it's different. I know I'm loved and my mum has made clear that she's very glad she didn't abort, but I've lived with this slight sense of being an inconvenience for a lot of my life and that can have an affect on confidence. I know full well that my mum couldn't do the things she wanted to do (e.g. fulfil career ambitions) because she was looking after me. Hopefully that's some food for thought from the other side of the camp, or coin, whatever!

    I wish I were never born at all whether by accident or planned. I didn't have a say in it but now have to suffer. All sorts of mentally retarded "do-gooders" who can't face mortality will try to convince me that suicide is wrong. Not that I will listen to their ignorant advice though.

    I was by chance but my mom decided she wanted me when she found out she was pregnent. That's what you mean, but that doesn't always happen, kids of chance are more likely to get abused and neglected.

    This doesn't really make sense to me. Your parents wanted you to be in this world, they chose to devote their life to taking care of you.
    The chance at life you got was a good one, they were ready and prepared, to give you love and a good life.
    I would appreciate that if I were in your position.

    I was a planned baby. I feel special that two people who loved each other decided to bring me into the world, another person to love and devote their lives to.
    However, if I was a 'mistake', then it wouldn't matter because I know I would be loved the exact same way as I am now.
    Don't dwell on such trivial matters such as if you were a planned or unplanned baby. Just be grateful you are here and had a chance at life, because many babies don't. If your parents decided to have sex one second later than they did, then another sperm would have reached that egg, and you wouldn't be here. Or maybe, a sperm may have not even been able to fertilize that egg at all, and you still wouldn't have been here. Your life was a complete random chance which happened in a split second. Be grateful because you very nearly missed your chance of having a life.

      That's right, it's all about how many seconds you wait when having sex to determine what child you'll get. If you wait 8 seconds, you'll get a pretty girl, but be careful, if you wait 7 seconds you'll get a downs syndrome boy.

      As we know, the egg apparently has nothing to do with who the child will turn out to be (based on... wow, this genius again BlueJeansWhiteShirt's theory).

      If anyone needs any more information about how many seconds to wait before having sex just let me know. Just don't forget 11 seconds will get you a star athlete son, but wait 12 seconds and your child will be black. If you're already black, your child will be Middle Eastern, and if you're Middle Eastern, your child will be still born (You can't go further down than Middle Eastern)

      LOL, if they had waited one second more, you wouldn't have been born, and they would have just said "Forget it, one attempt at having a child SHOULD be enough" LMFAO!!!

      That's so great that I go to reply and it's you. I think we're meant to be.

          LOL I promise I didn't know this was you when I posted that.

          I remember seeing you in another post and being like wtf after I posted. But this time I genuinely didn't notice the name, lol. I'm not stalking you around this place trying to make your life difficult, I promise. I'll troll someone else now.

    I think being planned is better than an accident.. at least your parents thought about bringing a human through them and i find somehow find it really better..

    The fact that your parents planned to have you meant that they wanted you. It's horrible when your conception wasn't planned, because it means that your parents didn't necessarily WANT a(nother) child.

    That being said, the fact that my own conception wasn't planned by my parents (and the fact that I came almost exactly a DECADE after my sister) is just one bit of frosting on my triple-layer cake of low self-esteem.

    Just because your parents wanted children they had no idea when it would happen also they had no idea what kind of child you would be although they did have a choice in how to bring you up.

    Your the reason condoms were invented and it looks like your dad should have had one superglued to his dick

      What would that do exactly? After the 2nd or 3rd (or possibly first) time he ejaculates, the condom will break. And then he just has rubber glued to his dick, and is still stuck with an idiot for a child.

      Also, YOU'RE = YOU ARE, YOUR = YOUR
