because blood is thicker than water, people tend to feel more love to someone who came from them, which makes sense like mothers who care for their kids. however, i dont get why they immediately feel less love for the kid they raised. but it's usually guilt esp of rich parents when their bio kids were raised poor. so they neglect the fake kids
the quote actually goes “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb ” isn’t it weird how we most commonly use it to suggest the opposite?
I beg to differ on the blood is thicker than water thing. I have a blood sister that I haven't talk to in 9 years, and a bff that I talk to at least once a day. My besties is my sister in my eyes and my sister is someone I have the misfortune of sharing genes with. With this father I just feel like it more of a guilt thing.
Full agree with your disagreement about the blood is thicker than water thing. Being adopted, I’m way closer to my adoptive parents than my shitty biological parents. And just cause I was related by blood didn’t mean my bio parents treated me with any love
Though, it all depends on the person and there are shit parents out there who do this type of shit.
There’s also parents who neglect their biological child after remarrying and they have a child with their new partner or they prioritize their new partner’s child as they become invested in the new relationship instead. Still another shitty parent if you do this though
like maybe it's because i am not a parent but i just can't imagine prioritizing someone because they have your genes over someone you brought up and spend years with treating as a daughter like how in that situation do you believe a random girlie you don't know for that long over someone you've known for years
