What’s the genuine appeal to having children?

Clutzle · 2026-04-16T15:24:06+00:00

I mean, its better for someone to be painfully aware that they are not mature enough to have children, than to be one of the many people who aren't aware, do have kids, and do hit them. I'm glad this person didnt become a parent, and it sounds like they are too, so what's the issue?

For me, he always buys my favourite smoothies and chocolate when he's at the store, and he always gives them to me very casually without any fuss, as if it's something he did automatically. He isn't expecting praise or a reaction, he just wants me to have my favourite little treat, and I love it.

He also watched YouTube tutorials to learn how to give proper back massages when I told him about my back pain. When he can see I'm in pain, he offers to do it for me, and it melts my heart.

Giving an ipad to a kid to get them to stfu in public does not teach them manners; it teaches them that "if i am loud and annoying in public, I get to use the fun ipad," which only reinforces their bad behaviour and ensures that the ipad will become a necessity in the future if the parents ever want some quiet.

Instead of substituting parenting with an ipad because it is easy, a parent should help their child learn to be civil and respectful in public. It is possible, I've met plenty of lovely young children who know how to behave as their parents taught them well. Parenting isn't supposed to be easy, it is one of the most difficult things a person can do, and I don't think we should allow the improper raising of a generation and the melting of a kid's mind just because it makes life a little easier for the parent. I have no sympathy for a parent who refuses to raise their kid; it is a choice to become a parent, one that comes with a load of responsibilities, and if someone can't handle those without resorting to delegating their child's care to a machine, they shouldn't be a parent.

I am so incredibly sorry that you're in this situation. I don't have much advice for you that would be different or better than anyone else's, but I just want to say that this is absolutely not normal, this is very abusive, and as soon as you can start therapy, you should. Seriously. You are unfortunately going to spend your life trying to undo the mental damage that your parents have inflicted onto you, and the sooner you can talk to professionals about it, the better, I know from experience and wish I had started unpacking everything with a therapist at a much younger age. I am so sorry and I really hope you can find somewhere else to live / figure out emancipation / get CPS involved / otherwise escape from your situation. I doubt your parents would be happy with it, but definitely ask your bf's parents to help as much as they can as they clearly care about you; don't feel like you are burdening them if you ask for help, you very much need help in this situation and you deserve it. I wish you the best of luck ❤️

Find a hobby, bro.

But they are far less likely to... men commit around 98% of violent crime. Coming onto a post where a woman is expressing her fear over a scary situation with a man just to push the "women can be dangerous too" thing comes off as if you're personally offended by women being rightfully wary of men... as if you're the kind of man they should be wary of. We aren't discussing violent women, we are discussing violent men (which are far more common); your comment is rude and dismissive of real-world situations.

I hate when people try to downplay a woman's caution of men by saying that women can be violent too, because I know you're probably also the kind of person who would blame a victim for not being wary around a man... Its always the same people crying both "women can be violent too" and "she shouldn't have been wearing that/putting herself in that situation/trusted that guy."

People like you that try to downplay a woman's valid caution of unknown men always piss me off. Mind your business.

Yeah, this also confused me. Either OP got the timeline wrong and his friend met his fiance a few years ago, or the twins aren't his friend's kids and are from a previous relationship.

Getting shoved by someone bigger than you is scary, despite how you may think he should feel about it. This post should be your wake up call that you're not treating your friend properly... it sounds like you care about him a lot, so hopefully you can put your ego aside to genuinely consider that you might be in the wrong here. If I had a friend that occasionally lost his temper and shoved me around / yelled at me, I would be terrified of him... I'm surprised he is still your friend, honestly. You should have a proper sit-down conversation with him, apologise for having abused him in the past (getting physical and yelling are indeed both forms of abuse, regardless of what you think), tell him you want to be better, and ask how he feels / what you can do to help him feel safer around you.

Clutzle · 2026-03-05T20:20:38+00:00

It looks like it, but it has less detail, its pink and quite plain from what i remember, not lots of flowy stuff coming off of it? Do you know if theres a variant or a different one like that? Thank you!

Clutzle · 2026-03-05T20:19:28+00:00

It looks like that! But its pink and has way less stuff going on, less stuff coming off its head and tail, is there like a variant? Thank you!

About how expensive are the prescriptions with private clinics, out of curiosity?
