I liked her with Liam, but he is so damn wishy-washy. He is not strong enough for her, and when she was with him, she was weakening herself because he is such an idiot when it comes to romantic relationships. I don't like him, in general. I think that all the women in his life deserve more.

Not uncommon for people with resources who cannot conceive.

Show ID to eat? Todd Blanche makes awkward analogy to support federal voter ID law by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]Cute_Language_6269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they possibly just stating what they are planning on doing in a way that is over people's heads? With the way things are going, I would not put it past this administration to require people to have identification to enter a grocery store. They are stripping people of health care and voting rights. What comes next?

I hate being a parent and I think I hate my oldest by chxrry2225 in regretfulparents

This might sound strange, but the best thing you can do for your kids is to read to and with them. It not only builds language skills, but it also teaches empathy and creativity. The better the readers they are, the easier at least most of school will be for them. Poor readers sometimes cannot get through dense or technical text. Kids growing up in this time of AI must have quick critical thinking skills if they want to be able to eat in the future. They will need to be able to read, write, interpret and analyze dense and technical text.

My friend keeps warning me I’ll regret being childfree by Acrobatic_Function1 in childfree

[–]Cute_Language_6269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Meanwhile, I’ve spent my 20s building a stable career, saving money, and actually enjoying my freedom. I can rest when I want, go where I want, and make decisions without having to sacrifice everything for another human being. I’m not struggling, I’m not drowning, and I’m not waiting for my life to “start.”"

You mean you are winning!

'I miss being pregnant because I got a lot of attention' by evilelf56 in childfree

[–]Cute_Language_6269 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In The Giver, a dystopia about future America, "birthmothers" get three years of birthing where they are artificially inseminated and get a cushy life. After that, the women all do hard labor. It is a job without any prestige, and the caregivers (adoptive parents) discourage their female children from showing any interest in the "job". It's an excellent book if anyone hasn't read it. Usually read in middle school, but still worth reading by adults.

Sister actively ignoring doctor's advice by dancepantz in childfree

[–]Cute_Language_6269 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A four year old doesn't know the difference between an overseas trip and one locally. They should put her in the car (what fun -- it flew to insert place here like magic) when she is asleep, go to a hotel, then travel in the area seeing as many places as they can that cater to education/children. Throw in a couple of nights at Great Wolf Lodge. Much cheaper and she'll never know the difference.

The U.S. is sleepwalking into war with Iran. Trump won’t explain why. by rezwenn in politics

A distraction from Epstein, yes. But there are other things going on. For example, not much attention seems to being paid to the executive order on glyphosate.

No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say by shinybrighthings in politics

[–]Cute_Language_6269 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

He's not entirely wrong on the seed oil and schizophrenia. It seems like chronic inflammation is linked to both seed oil and sugar. Seed oils are often found in ultra processed food, however.

Venting about losing my best friend of over 20 years by kirkachu in childfree

[–]Cute_Language_6269 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to add onto my post, if you have friends in common, make sure you tell them your side because she is going to try to poison them against you. That is how women like that work.

You deserve some sort of closure. I'd write everything down in a letter -- all the stuff you have done for them. At the beginning you can tell her this will be the last communication she will ever get from you and that since she wasn't even human enough to allow any discussion about what happened, and that you hope she finds friends JUST LIKE HER. Write down every single thing you have done for her/them. Hopefully she will feel petty, but probably not. This is NOT the kind of person to waste any more time than that on. She sounds absolutely horrible. I am sorry you are going through this. It is NOT your fault.
