#they aren't in the movement itself but they definitely follow the idea of be fruitful and multiply

I hate hearing about the Quiverfull movement. I hate hearing about it politically. I hate hearing about it from people who don't know anything about it. I hate hearing about it from people who only know the Duggars. I hate hearing about it from people who grew up next to it, but not in it. I hate hearing about it from women stuck in it right now. I hate hearing about it from women who were stuck in it. I hate the Quiverfull movement and I hate hearing about it.

#It got mentioned in the latest episode of Some More News and I'm so fucking upset #not by the video but just the concept cause it's with pictures of the Duggars and Im like #idk #it makes me feel weirdly hopeless #Im getting top surgery probably sometime this year if the surgeons approve me in a couple weeks #and I plan on getting a hysterectomy at some point for my endometriosis #which I know isn't a cure but it'll help #I don't plan to have kids but my family follows the Quiverfull idea #they aren't in the movement itself but they definitely follow the idea of be fruitful and multiply #I talked with my grandmother recently about my birth control implant and she joked about how if they had those back in the day #she would've stopped at 3 kids #she had 6 and says she wanted 12 #at least #She stopped because another child would've killed her #and 6 children need 2 parents #but she joked about stopping at 3 then sighed and looked out distantly #and said well no I wouldn't have used it. I had to trust the lord with how many children I have #my nana is 81 years old but she is Alive and Kicking #I haven't seen her this tired since my grandfather was in the hospital #and I know she doesn't regret having her 6 kids #she loves her dozens of grands and great grands #but she's tired #and she was tired back then #I see it in my dad too. He was the oldest #He does what he needs to do then finds his little area to rest. He was parentified #he had to help raise the rest and escaped to college when he could #I'm an only child biologically. I have 6 stepsiblings. I helped take care of them at 11 years old #and the cycle continues #ex christian #religious trauma
