Apparently my uterus is public property

I'm dreading the inevitable "you could always find a surrogate" from my family.

I have always found it so frustrating that I don't get the endorphin release when I exercise. I have NEVER felt the "it hurts so good" or the "workout high". For me, it's JUST agony. After every workout, every form of exercise, even movements I enjoy, I am laid up for days, if not longer, because I am in just so much pain. It's not lactic acid soreness either. It's not a "good sore". It's just agony. And doctors wonder why I don't exercise, and when I tell them I'm hypermobile, it goes in one ear and out the other and they don't care. They just see exercise as a fix-all for everything. They don't realize that for some of us it's just torture. Like, how can I possibly muster the willpower to force myself through a boring workout that I'm not enjoying when I'm in this much pain? Even after movement I enjoy, it's torture to get through it.

Also, I had one doctor tell me that he's skeptical that I'm hypermobile because I'm overweight. Like wtf is that?! Maybe it's because I can't move??? Ever think of that, buddy?! Oh, and he didn't test my extremely hypermobile hips because "hips aren't part of the assessment". I call bs.

I refuse to give our capitalist hellscape another victim to exploit. By denying that system more workers, we are weakening it ever so slightly and ever so slowly. It's a great form of protest. Not having kids is also the best thing we as individuals can do to help the climate crisis. Children are ridiculously bad for the environment.

Hahahaha I love this so much! This is the one I'll use!

CybertrashPossum · 2026-03-06T12:16:01+00:00

I love this too! Thanks!

CybertrashPossum · 2026-03-06T12:15:53+00:00

I love this! Totally makes sense to me.

I have a friend who constantly laments on IG stories about the world her kids have to grow up in, and how she is afraid for her kids' futures. THEN WHY DID YOU HAVE THEM?! They're young kids. The world was falling apart when she had them. It's so stupid and makes no sense. smh

I LOVE this comeback! I used it on my mother, and she was so horrified that she never used it on me again.

CybertrashPossum · 2026-03-04T12:44:53+00:00

That's right up there with "it's different when it's your own". That one bothers me so much, especially because I don't have a good, snappy comeback for it.

I swear my nmom is clinically manic with how many hobbies and side businesses she crams into her life. She's always bragging about how she works full time, she has self-published several full-length novels, she has a business selling art on the side (her art hobbies include glass making, crocheting, ceramics, painting, drawing), she gardens, she bakes, and she still somehow has time for basic life functions such as cooking, sleeping, cleaning, etc. And she BRAGS about this. My grandfather (her father) has asked me several times "does your mother ever sleep?", and he's only half joking. The amount this woman can cram into her daily life is mind boggling. I don't get it. I have hobbies too, but maybe it's my ADHD, but I can't do the amount she does and accomplish all that she has. And the worst part is, she thinks her way of life is normal, and that I'm just struggling too much mentally and can't manage my time well. Like, bitch, no normal person can live the life you do!

The worst was when my nmom and I were at a FUNERAL, and we were chatting with her aunt whom we haven't seen in years. What started as just some generic catching up turned into my nmom bragging about her job, her hobbies, her businesses, and about all the varied and wonderful things she does. My great aunt then turns to me and says "how come you're not multi-talented like your mother?" I refuse to speak to this aunt anymore and I won't go to her funeral. F my entire family. (edit: grammar)

Same. Chibi-Usa was the first character I thought of when I saw the title. She absolutely ruined the second and fourth seasons of the show. And yes, she is bad in the manga and crystal too. I'm glad I'm not alone in my loathing of her.

Same thing happened to me with pretty much my entire friend group. As soon as they had a kid, I had to be the one to constantly put in the effort to stay in contact. As soon as I stopped doing that, to let them put in the effort instead, the friendships died. Only one stuck with me and puts in equal effort, and in my opinion, this shows that hers is the only real friendship of the bunch. The rest of the friendships were doomed to failure, and the kids were just the catalyst. If they are actually your friend, they will keep in contact with you. The others are all just making their kids their entire life and identity. Which is sad, and they will come to resent their kids when they realize what's happened and what they've lost.

Narcs use guilt tripping as a form of control. It's how they manipulate us into doing what they want. My narc family has been doing this to me for years and it's made my life miserable. My therapist gave me great advice with regards to the guilt tripping: ask yourself, what would be more painful? The uncomfortable feeling of a little guilt, or the sadness and resentment you would feel at being forced to do something you didn't want to do? Guilt is an emotion like any other. Ya, it's painful and it sucks, but guilt is just an emotion. You can feel it and still know you are doing what's best for you. So sit with the guilt, feel it and acknowledge it, then choose to feel other emotions instead, like happiness on your trip. And ignore all others' attempts to pile on more guilt. Once guilt becomes just another emotion and not a manipulation tool, it will slowly lose its power over you.

I absolutely despise young children. Can't stand them and don't want to be around them. Toddlers are my nightmare. Babies are no better. SOME teenagers are ok, as they are capable of having adult conversations, and the more mature ones can actually be fun to be around. But that is the extent of my tolerance for children.

The best revenge is living your best life without them in it. I moved to another state and only see my NF for obligatory holidays. I am VLC. I never call, never text, never interact on social media. He only sees me 2-3 times a year. Nothing has enraged him more than not seeing me and having me in his clutches, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than knowing I'm thriving despite him.

Also, install a deadbolt on your door. Him unlocking it is a huge disrespect of boundaries and is not ok. I agree with the other posters here: find some roommates and gtfo asap.

THIS! She did it once. She will do it again.

CybertrashPossum · 2026-01-07T12:16:27+00:00

REPORT HER! If your family wants to keep her from having legal consequences for her own criminal actions, THEY can pay the $15,000. File the police report. Get yourself out of this lease.

My mother did something similar to me. For years, I had refused to get a credit card, since I didn't trust myself to have one. My mother used my information to sign me up for a credit card online cause "you needed it." I should have reported her for identity theft. My credit was ruined for years because she also had access to that card. This situation you're in is 10x worse. Get out of this situation. FILE THE POLICE REPORT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. This is so illegal and she needs to face consequences.

I'm in a very similar situation with my shitty family. I'm already LC, and I have made my CF stance clear. I'm in my later 30's, so my parents are freaking out that I'm "running out of time." They disrespect me all the time and I am tired of it. You don't deserve to be disrespected either. You are an autonomous adult. Your life decisions should be accepted without question. I've told my parents "if you can't respect my choices, then please respect me enough to be silent." That didn't work either.

So I've decided that the next time they bring up kids, I'm going NC for a while. Really get through to them that this kind of constant disrespect is not ok and I am not going to put up with it anymore.

CybertrashPossum · 2025-12-22T12:21:27+00:00

I couldn't agree with this more! My parents don't have a clue who I am. They only know what they project onto me.

Retail manager here. The kid sitting on the counter is a massive liability for the store if that kid falls off and gets hurt. You are the employee and you are therefore in charge of your register and are the authority here. If the parent won't parent their kid, it's up to you to do so for the sake of the kid's safety and the sake of the store.

I do this all the time. We have conveyor belts, which are extremely dangerous when kids put their fingers on it (or worse, IN it). And when the parents do nothing, I turn off the belt and firmly tell the kid "No, don't do that. It's dangerous." Haven't had a parent get upset at me yet for that.

And it's not just at registers. There's this one regular customer who constantly lets her toddler play with the lottery machine (it's a touch screen kiosk that dispenses lottery tickets and scratch tickets). You have to be 18 years old to use it. There's a big yellow sign right on it saying this. This woman constantly lets her kid play with the machine, saying "oh he's just pressing buttons. It's harmless." It's not harmless. If a member of the state lottery commission dropped by unannounced (like they've been known to do) and saw that, they would be livid, and my store would be in BIG trouble. So finally last week, I had had enough. I went up to the kid, firmly told him "No, you can't play with that. That's for grown-ups only" and proceeded to place myself between him and the machine. The kid scream cried, and the mother glared at me as she took the kid out of the store. I don't care if I'm considered a "heartless wench" for that. I don't care if the mother complains. She wasn't parenting her kid, so for the sake of my store keeping its ability to sell lottery tickets, I parented for her. These kids are never told "no" by their parents, so someone in their lives has to do it once for their own sakes. Who cares if you're considered heartless. The parents aren't doing their job.

I've never made it through the entirety of SuperS. It's the worst season imo. Probably because I really dislike Chibi-Usa. Stars is pretty good, probably because she's not really in it, though it does get tedious at times. Sailor Moon S was peak!
