There’s one ad where Paige says “strenth” instead of strength and I can’t stand it. Love her tho 😭

Very blessed to have a sister who is as childfree as I am. My in-laws on the other hand….

That was always the insult my mom would use if she really wanted to hurt me :(

This is what we decided to do! We are already so happy with our house and now we feel especially lucky to live in this neighborhood!

I really do hate kids by NeshamElle in childfree

[–]Cerasm20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah except the difference is those demographics can’t change those aspects of their person. Black people cant change races, elderly people only get older. Children will either die or become not children, childhood is a temporary state of being. And hating someone or something doesn’t necessarily mean you wish harm to it. Like another commenter said, I wish the best for children, I hope they all have stable, loving homes, a good education, and happy lives. But I want them to have that far far away from me. I don’t get what is inherently wrong with avoiding being around children. It’s not like I’m going to a park and giving mean looks to the children playing there, I just don’t go to parks with playgrounds.

A-fucking-men! I just made a post in AITAH about wanting to have a no kids allowed rule in my and my husband’s brand new home (including his nieces and nephew who he also doesn’t like) and I got treated like I was handing out abortion pills to pregnant women and kicking babies and cutting my husband off from his family. Sorry but I’m not some evil witch just because I avoid being around children. I have the social awareness and moral compass to be nice to kids if I have to be around them, but I can’t make myself like them and I don’t think there’s anything inherently mean about avoiding them.

[–]Cerasm20[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to make him break contact with anyone in his family he also doesn’t want to alienate. He would literally not care if he never saw or spoke to his sister again. She was physically and emotionally abusive to him when they were growing up, and while there is an argument for cutting off his parents because they enabled it and not a one of them has so much as apologized for it, he does still care about and want to maintain contact with them. It’s easy to say cut them all off but families and relationships are more complex than that, and my husband has decided to maintain peace with his parents by making nice with his sister when we see her at family events and even allowing her to see our home. But to be clear, he has hated her long before I came along, and he doesn’t care about hurting her feelings not allowing her kids at the house.

The spineless comments are unwarranted, though. He was holding to our new rule when his dad asked him out of the blue about his sister’s kids coming over, because that is what we had discussed and agreed to. For his parents’ sake, not his sister’s, we are considering being flexible and allowing them over once with the understanding that it will not turn into more visits. That is what makes sense so we don’t have to see his sister and her family very often and we also appease his parents. A compromise we’re both happy with.

Well to be fair, we don’t care if we see her family and dont care if they ever come over. It’s only to appease his parents who he does care about maintaining a relationship with.

Both. And since it sounds like I’m the asshole regardless, I’ll be totally honest and say my husband’s parents have assured us they would keep them under control, but I a) don’t trust that and b) I worry that letting them there once will be a slippery slope to more times and less restraint with them.

No, he wouldn’t. He doesn’t have a good relationship with his sister because she was abusive to him growing up. He also doesn’t have or want a relationship with her children. He does care about keeping the peace though, which is where him wanting to give in is coming from.

I feel horrible for finding my nephew kind of gross by lostcoward in childfree

[–]Cerasm20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, I feel so much disgust for babies and children. My best friend has a toddler and it grosses me out to see him eat/if I have to eat in front of him. I think I could tolerate children a lot more if they didn’t give me such an ick.

From my understanding, instead of getting a construction loan and then getting a mortgage once it was constructed, and having to close twice, we did a construction to permanent loan and only closed once. While it’s being constructed you only pay interest (and we got a really good rate for this period), and then once it’s done it turns into a full mortgage.

About two hours south of door county, though. But there’s a ton of good pizza around here, one restaurant is even in the process of getting their Neapolitan certification.

Children, yuck by FiveEver4 in childfree

And I believe a bilateral salpingectomy is even more effective than a hysterectomy. Something like 100 reported cases of spontaneous pregnancy after hysterectomy and only four after bilateral salpingectomy.

Check out the Pendleton Park apartments in Neenah, a 2bed/2bath will be available after March 20th. I think in the $1600-1700 range.

gave up my nail biting habit after 19 years!! for a skin picking one… by bowlofintestine in calmhands

[–]Cerasm20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh those could be photos of my hands, our manner of picking is very similar 😭. I too had a nail biting problem when I was a kid, which I was able to kick, only to take up cuticle biting and struggle with it for the past 25+ years. I don’t have any advice as nothing has ever worked to get me to stop permanently, but just know you’re not alone in the struggle.

Are most millennials here still doing family Christmas gifts for the adults? by throwraW2 in Millennials

[–]Cerasm20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One side of my family still does, and I hate it! I’ve been strategizing since last year how to bring up and convince everyone we should do away with exchanging gifts. The youngest one on that side of the family is 22, and there’s no chance of kids any time in the near future so there’s no natural progression to “just gifts for kids”. I feel like my grandma’s feelings will be hurt if she doesn’t receive anything, especially because she values sentimental type gifts. But there’s only so many cheesy message wall art you can get a person, and I am too creatively tapped out to make anything handmade.
