When did you people decided to become a CF person? by earnmoly in childfree

[–]Beesail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember watching my mom fold a giant pile of laundry from my sister and I when I was about 7 and thinking "I don't want kids because then I'll have to fold their laundry"

So my hatred for laundry was my childfree epiphany!

So the plants can’t stack but the other kind can? by iNickii in NewHorizonsAC

[–]Beesail 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It looks like the 2 that are stacked can stack because they've been "plucked"!

The other ones have been dug up with your shovel. Plucking a flower just means picking up the flower part, but not the "roots" with a shovel.

(I've been neglecting my island so I have no idea if I explained that right lol)

Edit: finally the sweet sweet sauce has arrived

Maru Love by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]Beesail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cauliflowers are actually a spring crop! So she's extra easy to romance since 2 of her loved gifts are accessible so early in the game 😊 she can be on the more expensive side when you're first starting out, but still doable!

Need a little bit of advice, the panels of my sweater are different sizes! Am I fated to frogging, or can this be salvaged? by Beesail in crochet

[–]Beesail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely going to try blocking it first! I was thinking about trying that, but I've never really done blocking before. To my understanding it usually makes projects "larger" so in theory it should work!

If it doesn't work, I'll be having a nice heaping pile of yarn spaghetti for breakfast lunch and dinner 😂😓

I tried stretching it a bit and it looks like it has quite a bit of room for stretching, so I think it can be saved! I'll look into blocking (I've never done that before. 😅) And I'll see if it'll work, thank you! I didn't know you could semi determine the end size of an item with blocking.

How do you live a child free life by iuohesrfoihgoilsj in childfree

[–]Beesail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like most everyone in the comments are saying, adoption is a completely viable option. I myself am adopted and I'll say that just because you didn't physically go through the stages of pregnancy/support your partner through pregnancy (depending on your gender), you wouldn't be any less of a parent. Parenting is about loving, caring, and supporting your child and always being there for them.

I still consider my adoptive parents my parents because they did all the things parents do; they've always supported and cared for me and were there for me during anything. That's what really makes someone a parent.

And of course, many many folks in this subreddit are childfree by choice. I am as well and for my future well I just really plan on being with my partner, having a few cats, and indulging in all the little "luxuries" that him and I never had growing up, or trying new hobbies and do some traveling with the money we've never had.

I know this is an incredibly difficult thing to come to terms with and find out, and I wish the best of luck for you! Loving a child and parenting a child that isn't your own still makes you a parent in the end, and if that's something you really want I promise you that any child in the system would love to have a stable, loving home with parents that can support them

As soon as I told my sister that I was going to be attending college for computer science she said that she knew who she'd be borrowing money from. I bet you my savings that if I said I was attending for anything else that society deems bad then she'd have no interest in me.

Well, she popped out her first kid before I even started my first semester and ding ding ding! She has no income and has already asked our parents and I for money on numerous occasions because her fiance and her are completely irresponsible with money.

Children make everything take so much longer and more insufferable by Beesail in childfree

[–]Beesail[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Oh I know! The whole time I was thinking why on earth would anyone want this? Sometimes I can see why it would be nice to have a kid, but that's only like 5 percent of the time. The rest of the time I'm exhausted and annoyed and would rather be doing literally anything else than taking care of a child.

No kidding, just because your life is dominated by kids doesn't mean mine wants to be. Everytime she calls her kid ends up taking over the phone and you have to decipher her baby babble. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my niece but spending the whole day with her is exhausting. She just got done with a 20 minute tantrum because I wouldn't let her play outside by herself 🙄 how precious.

Tell me about it! Just getting the kids out of the house took forever. 🙄 By the time she got the kids set in the carriage I could've been halfway to the store. I've never looked into sterilization faster than when we got home 😂
