<\/p>\nThe internet has been left shocked by one couple’s decision to put their daughter up for adoption<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A husband anonymously took to Reddit to explain the situation that led to them putting their daughter up for adoption after just three months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He explained in a post on Reddit that his wife, whom he called Catherine, was not interested in their daughter Elizabeth, and that she had returned to work two weeks after giving birth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
The dad explained that Elizabeth had made their lives ‘miserable’ as they are both ‘workaholics’, and that Catherine’s mum has been doing a bulk of the childcare as she lives with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He said that his wife would only go near Elizabeth when it was clear she was in need, and would generally avoid her if she was crying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
After three months they decided to put their daughter up for adoption, he explained. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I can remember life without my daughter. I struggle to remember life without my wife,” he wrote. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I love my daughter, don’t get me wrong, and adopting her out would be no easy feat. But keeping her could make my wife miserable – is, actually, making her miserable.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
He added: “What I want ultimately is whatever is best for Catherine and for Elizabeth, and I honestly think this may be the best option for everyone.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
Catherine’s mum decided to adopt the child after they made the decision, but Redditors remained shocked by his story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
One person responded: “These people sound like robots, or aliens trying out human life. Who in their right mind creates a whole sentient life, does a few months of work to raise them, and then just says ‘eh it’s not for us’?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
While a second said: “Basically treated the abandonment of their child as a transactional exchange between two parties.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
However, a third revealed that it is stories like this one that is one of the reasons why they never had kids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“This is my worst fear about having children. But this is also why I never had any and use two forms of birth control at all times,” they commented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
“I was a planned child who was neglected and it still baffles me what my mother was thinking. The lack of guilt here is what’s getting me. I have shown more emotion than this saying goodbye to\u00a0dogs\u00a0I’ve fostered for a few days.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
