Why do these stories all tell us to "be them"? Can't we just read about their adventure? Stop telling me who to be.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Finally, someone telling me to be myself
Hope you don't get too attached to kids that aren't yours anon. You have no custody or parental rights and are one big fight away from having them exit your life. Or like, the return of the original Chad who decided to get cleaned up and even years later, you know she'll forgive the father of her children.
Being a substitute dad is a huge mistake, but i guess someone's gotta do it. I certainly wouldn't.
You have no custody or parental rights
Also no obligations. He can get divorced and not have to worry about paying child support.
Or he can choose to adopt them, which would grant those custody and paternal rights.
Would you be looking at this differently if the children weren't hers? If she had no kids, Anon was shooting blanks, and they just decided to go to an orphanage and adopt?
It's not about what you're obligated to, it's about the emotional attachment to children that won't necessarily remain in your life.
As for adoption, you try that with a person you've known for a year or less, see how that works out for you. But yes, if they agree, then sure, i think adoption is fair.
What is not fair is having someone responsible for and bonding with your kids, regardless of gender, and never giving them parenrsl rights.
If they adopted kids it would be their kids, so no issue.
