Workaholic Parents Give Up Newborn Daughter For Adoption As She Doesn't Fit Their Lifestyle
Not every parent is suitable for raising children. Recently, a couple surrendered their 3-month-old baby because they consider themselves workaholics. Or perhaps they are wise enough to realise they are not adequately prepared for parenthood.
Newborn daughter didn’t fit into lifestyle
The couple took the decision to give up their 3-month-old daughter, named Elizabeth, for adoption, and the reason behind it is sure to surprise you.?
The father took to Reddit to share their situation.
According to him, their newborn daughter didn't seem to fit into their lifestyle. He revealed that his wife didn't engage much with their daughter, except for necessary tasks like feeding, changing, or bathing.?
Describing themselves as "workaholics" and "very stubborn," the couple were accustomed to having things their way.?
The husband also revealed that his wife returned to work just two weeks after giving birth.
The parents struggled to decide between family adoption or placing Elizabeth with an external adoptive family. They considered the possibility of the child staying within the family under the care of either the mother-in-law, who had been assisting with childcare, or the sister-in-law. However, they couldn't reach a decision.
The couple were even contacted by child services, following accusations of child abandonment.
Outrage on the Internet
Their story ignited outrage on the internet, with many expressing anger and disbelief.
Their actions also sparked a broader conversation about parental responsibility and the importance of prioritising children's well-being above personal convenience.
One comment observed that they never truly desired a child; instead, they sought what it symbolised: the fulfillment of their meticulously planned lives.?
Another user noted that the individual appeared emotionless, treating the abandonment of their child as a mere transaction between two parties.?
A separate commenter likened them to robots or aliens experimenting with human life.
