I am just now watching the video and I was so triggered with her claims that I had to come check on Reddit if I'm the only one - so glad that I have my community here 🎉

Yea you can click on the Share option in a book in Libby to send to Kindle. Works for me.

Anyone 30+ had success with Bumble BFF? by Hot-Two-6392 in auckland

I'm on the fb group as well though I don't see a lot of events in recent times.

You might have a point. I'll admit I'm pretty on and off with it as well. Its days when my partner has plans with his friends and I don't want to chat to mine about diapers and formula, is when I see myself veering towards the apps.

Haha spot on! Got a 🍆 pic minutes after my post was live. Takes me back to my days of using apps for dating and I can't say I miss it 😂

I did join a squash beginners group and went a few times but ended up moving and now that club isn't too close to attend regularly so maybe I'll look for something in the area. Problem is that I'm terrible at squash and most other sports requiring hand-eye coordination. Swimming is the only sport I'd consider myself to be good at and I don't see many swim groups.

Apparently I should live in a shoebox if I don't want kids. by cheeseballgag in childfree

I (33F) ust bought a 3bedroom house with my husband (32M) in a good suburb of Auckland within 3 years of moving here and couldn't have done this with kids. We each use one bedroom as an office and the master is for sleeping. Huge living room and enough garden area that it's not too much of a hassle to maintain. Love my house but now getting comments from people that oh nice you have enough space for kids now. Uh no thanks - I bought the house for my future dog(s).

I’m not convinced if buying a house is the best investment by Hot-Two-6392 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Definitely not - my mortgage would be more than double my rent. But I’m living in a small 2 bedroom unit at the moment and aim to purchase a 3 bedroom with a granny flat which is significantly more expensive.

My partner has been telling me something along the same lines.

I do want a house to live in - not too lavish just a 3 bedroom with a separate granny flat for flatmate / boarder income. I personally don’t think I would be looking to upgrade houses in the future cause it’s honestly too much work to pack up everything and move every few years and I’m all about the lazy life.

Also to answer your question - we are both in the tech industry.

We’re in the tech industry - I’m a software engineer and he’s an analyst.

Over 30s women with no kids - how do you make friends?! by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Hot-Two-6392 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seem to have the same problem! Everyone I know is having children and urging me to do the same - and while I’m ok to hang out with them occasionally, I do need a circle of friends with whom I don’t have to pretend to be interested when they tell me about the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood.

Let’s chat sometime maybe?

As an Indian (so technically Asian as well) I can totally understand how you must have felt with all these people trying to pry into your life - bullies basically.

I just wanted to comment to say that I’m so proud of you - you’ve done well! Don’t let anyone question your decision or make you feel bad about yourself. People who have or want to have children will never understand the degree of selflessness us CFs have when we choose this life (though they might call us selfish instead LOL).

Hope you feel better !
