Bringing a baby into this world, especially considering the state of it at the moment, is a big decision for anyone to make, so you better make sure you have chosen the right person to do it with.
You're essentially signing yourself up for a connection that is going to last a lifetime - even if your relationship doesn't - as you are both pledging to be there as parents for your little one for the rest of eternity.
So it's no wonder that people who are looking to start a family have a few conditions that they want their other half to meet before they commit to creating a child with them - but social media users reckon this woman has gone way overboard.

Take a look at this:
During an episode of the Something For That Ass podcast earlier this year, hosts Brooklyn and Lenna began to discuss what demands they want the future father of their children to meet.
The twins, from the US, were reeling off a laundry list of qualities they want the fella who will be raising their kids alongside them to have, before one of the sister's revealed she had some strict rules they need to abide by too.

Brooklyn explained that she isn't in a rush to have a child with any Tom, Dick or Harry just so she can become a mum, before adding that she will need the man to go the extra mile to prove he is in it for the long haul.
The brunette told listeners: "I'm just not going to have a man's baby just to have a man's baby.
"If a man wants me to have his baby, I have two requirements."
You might be thinking Brooklyn wants him to promise to prioritise his home life over other commitments, or that he needs to have a certain amount of money stashed away to help afford the costs of a kid - but you'd be sadly mistaken.

Instead, the podcast host reckons it should be an eye for an eye - or in her words, a 'body for a body'.
Brooklyn continued: "You're going to get a tattoo of my face on your body...because it's a body for a body.
"My body is going to change forever, you're body is going to change forever.

"And my push present is either a car or a house - preferably both."
If you aren't aware, a push present is a gift usually awarded by the parent not doing all the hard work in the delivery room to reward them for giving birth - like this woman who got a £58,000 ($78,000) Mercedes off of her man.
Brooklyn concluded: "But I definitely want a tattoo of my face on the father of my child's body. Preferably stomach, because my stomach is going to look different after a baby, so your stomach should look different too."
Some people might say you can't argue with that logic, but others aren't so impressed by her list of demands and dubbed them 'wild'.

As I'm sure you can imagine, there was an overwhelming presence of males in the comments who clearly aren't keen on the idea of sporting their baby mum's face on their skin or forking out for a pricey push present.
One said: "Red flags all over the place."
Another wrote: "This is real because a lot of men don’t understand how much it takes to give birth and make it seems like it’s not a big deal, you couldn’t have said it any better. I love it!"
A third added: "So a baby y'all both decided you wanted but you deserve a whole house or new car?"
A fourth chimed in: "Body for a body is reasonable."
While a fifth added: "You have a right to set your own boundaries, standards, and requirements, as long as it’s consensual lol - don’t be tattooing people in their sleep or when they’re drunk."
What do you reckon?
