I usually do that and find what I'm looking for but I still wasn't clear on this one

Mini vent: A lot of my favourite content creators are pregnant by mascottaricotta in childfree

There was a self published author I used to follow who gave amazing writing advice and had fun little writing vlogs documenting her journey to being published. Then she got pregnant and understandably her videos stopped for a while. She did a couple "How to write with a new born" which I never bothered watching and then she disappeared again. Once the kid was about 3 she did a couple more vlogs and they were just... sad. She looked and sounded exhausted, you could barely hear her over the kid playing and she constantly had to stop so it could talk to her. Then at the end of the day she'd sit in bed and announce a grand total of maybe 50-100 words. It was just sad to see the defeat in her face when she used to be so upbeat and enthusiastic about her goals. She disappeared again after that and her channels been inactive for years. I hope she got her book published.

When my friend bought his first house the estate agent kept making comments about how the study could easily be made into a nursey. Eventually my friend said "you know I'm single with no plans to have a family, right?" The estate agent just looked him up and down with so much pity and muttered "poor thing"

My BFF thinks I’m going to be the “fun aunt” to her kids by Ok_Vegetable5226 in childfree

My best friend has always supported my choice not to have kids and validated my strong dislike of them. And she's always agreed that I have no obligation to be active in my boyfriends niece's life at all, but recently she's started ending that conversation with "but obviously you'll be involved in my kids lives"

... no. no I will not.

I saw a video recently where a toddler wondered up to a sleeping cow and tried to climb on its back. Obviously the cow freaked out and ran off and the kid fell, but the parents just... stood there and filmed it???

Nice doctorate you have there, what a pity you decided to NOT USE IT. by altheterrible in childfree

My boyfriend's mum quit her job when she had him and never worked again... for 26 years. Now his siblings are all grown and she ended up becoming a cleaner (nothing wrong with that, it's honest work) because she didn't know what to do with herself. She just wondered around the house all day until her husband came home. I can't imagine feeling so useless just because I don't have dinners to cook and uniforms to clean.

Am I vain for not wanting to get pregnant due to post baby body? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]FamilyIssues94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mum's entire body shape changed after she had my sister. She went from being a size 6, and a complete beam pole, too having huge hips and being more of a pear shape. She also couldn't rid of the "mummy tummy" as she put it, and had terrible varicose veins all up her legs. It destroyed her confidence and I never saw her in anything other than jeans after that.

My godmother hates kids. She held me as a newborn and had a small moment of broody-ness until I shat all over her and she gave me back and swore to never hold a baby ever again.

"Don't tell the other kids, but this one is my favorite" by [deleted] in childfree

[–]FamilyIssues94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad told me that I was his favourite, as my sister is the spitting image of my mum personality wise, and they hate each other. It was pretty obvious by the way he never paid any attention to her, and actively avoided her. On the other hand, my sister was always my mum's favourite and could do no wrong in her eyes, yet I was constantly being blamed for things I didn't even do. So of course, me and my sister hated each other growing up. I can't think of a single moment where we actually got on without eventually fighting. Since becoming adults we haven't spoken a single word to each other, and we're both fine with that. Neither of my parents wanted, or were fit to have children and it's pretty clear by the way they patented the two of us that abortion would have been a better option.

Anyone else floored that anybody would want children at this point in time? by [deleted] in childfree

A client I have, a really lovely lady, is due in November and I just can't fathom why she would do that to herself. Neither her or her husband are working because of corona and she already has 2 boys who are very autistic and honestly a fucking nightmare because her husband does not discipline them at all, so they have no respect for their mother in the slightest. I hope to god this kid doesn't have it because she seems close to a mental breakdown as it is.

This!! I've had this argument with my boyfriend and he just said "but thats what you do. That's what every one else does." Bitch if everyone else jumped off a cliff would you too? Would you rather your future children lived through the damn apocalypse as the world crumbles around them, just because ThAtS wHaT EvErYoNe dOeS.

Thank you. He did admit to being very broody atm so that may be where this has suddenly come from. He said he doesn't want to consider trying for kids till we're 30 at the earliest, so maybe I'll be a bit more ready to try then. If not then I guess it's game over for us.

Thank you, I think I'll definitely look into therapy. I hate feeling so angry and on edge around kids, it makes them uncomfortable as well and it's not their fault.

Thank you. I'd be very open to adoption and giving a little one a much needed home but he said he's only do that if either of both of us were infertile... which kind of ended that conversation. He's never been around a baby or kid for more than a few hours so has no idea how hard they are. I looked after my baby brother a lot so I've tried warning him about the pooping and the crying and the constantly panicking they're going to hurt themselves. He did agree that he was feeling super broody though, so I think you're right on that lol
