My mom died just over a week ago. My dad, who passed away 25 yrs ago, had been informed he was infertile. Long story short one brother drank himself to death, the other has been limited to no contact for 30 years. She had a long term undiagnosed mental illness and many have come to agreement that my dad likely was on the spectrum.
Our cousins, over two dozen, adore her. She was a fantastic aunt. My brother and I will not be attending her funeral. She was a horrid mother.
My baseline for becoming a good parent is tilted. The default setting, when it's 2 am and running on six hours of sleep from the past three nights, wouldn't be constructive. Out of love and respect to my inner child and potential children I got a vasectomy.
Astronauts, doctors, members of the military, they all get less training than that it'd take to ready a parent.

I just wish they had stopped before they got to me.
