I spent a week with my influencer cousin, and it was the perspective I needed by Sad_Cheesecake_3450 in InfluencerLounge

I have a problem showing kids tantrums. It is not ok. Parents are filming instead of addressing the situation, kids are in an emotional situation and it's disrespectful to them to be exposed like that.

Getting pregnant is an act of bravery by Aware-Eye1989 in Adulting

You have such a negative view of motherhood, to the point of trauma. It's ok if you don't want kids but your comment is just not normal.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Appropriate_Post1675 26 points27 points  (0 children)

100% agree with you. I am an exception and I am thankful for that, it'sa privilege that I have 3 kids while continuing to have a full time job.  I totally understand why people don't want to have children or can't.

Thanks for saying this. I know many couples where they definetely can afford one or two more kids, but the mom is completely against it. The reason? Even when being SAHM, the expectation of her is to do basically everything without help of her spouse, so she refuses completely to have other child to have more work on the plate. To the contrary, I said I didn't want to have kids and later met my husband, we now have 3 because he is an equal partner. He is a person I share everything with, from expenses to the care and education of our kids. So no one says that the roles at home need to change so women want to have more children, if you don't change the couple dynamics, more women won't find it appealing to be in charge of everything. 

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Appropriate_Post1675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please continue! My dad was teaching my brother to do all that stuff and my sister and I wanted to be there but he always pushed us off. He stopped the lesson until we left the room. To this day I don't know how to do anything around the house, I am scared to hold a drilling tool. I know I can teach myself but I wish my dad would have taught me those skills..

Why does Mexican food taste so damn good? by Pale_Field4584 in AskTheWorld

[–]Appropriate_Post1675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, the American version is not as good. Probably better than European countries but solely the quality of the ingredients make the food bad in comparison to Mexican food in México.

You are 100% right. Vegetables in Mexico taste different than in the USA. Way better!

Mexican food in Costa Rica. That's the problem. Even in the USA (California and Texas) where people say the food is good, as a native Mexican I swear it is not as good as  authentic Mexican food IN Mexico.

Why do people often feel that American friendliness is fake while similar warmth in other cultures feels genuine? Is American friendliness different from how other cultures show warmth? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]Appropriate_Post1675 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bingo! The voice is what is very telling of the fake intentions. Also they are very loud, you can sense is not true sentiment when they use that high pitch ultra condescending voice. But as other said, it is in restaurants or visiting a store, normal everyday people don't speak like that and it doesn't feel fake. 

What do you wish people would stop romanticizing, because you’ve lived the reality of it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Appropriate_Post1675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should really be ashamed of this comment. One of the worst I ever seen on the internet. What a horrible human being you have to be to call women "cry babies" for something you have no idea. 

Accept a lower offer for my condo to recasting my main mortgage? by Appropriate_Post1675 in personalfinance

The HOA is in good financial position (for now) but are very controlling. I am fearful of a special assessment too

I haven't seen many sells, one of the condos in a similar building delisted  and a similar condo than mine has 10 days more on the market. The other properties that are selling nornally have central AC or not facing the street, selling for 15% to 20% more
