Backstory: After spending a day with my uncle’s rather misbehaved one-year-old, I let my mother know that if I ended up having similar children, I would be happy to send them to their grandma.
If you have a nasty kid it is yours to deal with, mother is getting old and has done her duty in the kid department and I will be more that happy to babysit but not raise. You birth em you raise em.
“I will be more that happy to babysit but not raise.” Totally fair – I love your mom!

That is what kept me from getting pregnant before I got married. And after that, too.

Oh my gosh. If you think that a one-year-old is poorly behaved, you may want to consider going on vacation for the entire two years between two and four.
But when it’s yours, it’ll be cute. That’s nature.
