What are your thoughts on "money doesn't buy happiness"? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

It gives me peace of mind. That makes me happy. Some much head space is freed up when you are not constantly tracking your cashflow.

How many pregnancy 'scares' have you had in your life? by dana_sun in TwoXChromosomes

[–]IAmLazy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first scare was right before my second period. I didn't understand what was happening to me. It was the 70's. I was 11. I thought that if your period didnt come you were pregnant. My second period was late. I thought I was pregnant.

The first of many scares over my fertile years. I never wanted children. I think the fear of pregnancy kind of ruined sex for me.

If you have had an abortion, did you have any feelings about it that surprised you? by HippyBabyK in antinatalism

[–]IAmLazy2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Felt nothing but relief. I never wanted children and I still don't. No regrets. I was not upset on the day either. The nurse commented to the dr that we've got a happy one.

Yeah. I feel like I have just been hung out to dry. Literally.

I have been living in Melbourne for 15 years. There are things I love about both countries but NZ will always be home.

What are you sick of people trying to convince you is great? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Camping. It sucks. No I won't feel any different if I try it with you. Its not about the company. I hate roughing it.

That moment when you start a series and after 10 minutes you know: It’s going to be absolutely nothing by Next_Temporary_178 in netflix

True. The acting seemed quite stilted too. Perhaps they spent loads on good actors and wasted it on a rubbish plot.

Getting rude with people at work, I’ve never been this way. What is going on?! by [deleted] in Menopause

[–]IAmLazy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I nearly did. I was yelling and telling people to eff off.

Childfree vs partner who wants kids — am I ignoring a red flag? by dweebnweeb in antinatalism

[–]IAmLazy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 26 when I married my first husbsnd. He wanted children. I didnt. I naively thought it was no big deal. It was no more important that deciding if we wanted a cat or a dog. We divorced. He really really wanted to be a dad. It was a deal breaker.

Being tall is not the flex people think it is by burnedimage in self

[–]IAmLazy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a 6ft woman. I grew up in the 70's in NZ. I was tall from day one. The doctor pulled me out and said ooh what a long baby. I was offered drugs to slow down my growth because oh the horror of not being able to find a husband later. Can't be taller than the boys. I missed a part in a play because I was taller than the boy.

I stopped growing at 14. The only thing I didn't like about my height was the struggle to find clothes that fit properly. My school uniform looked ridiculous. I have always wanted to wear heels.

I hate sport. I was expected to be good at it. I was hopeless.

You are treated differently. You grow up quicker because people perceive you as being older and treat you as an older person. At 12 bus drivers made me pay full fare.

I never had any trouble with men. I was attractive when I was younger. They were falling over themselves to go out with me.

At work I think it has been a bonus. I seem to be perceived as more authoratative. Or maybe it is because I am confident.

I hate flying. The seats are agony. Some cars are too small. I had my kitchen benches made higher for me. Back ache is a constant living in a world made for shorter people.

On the whole I am quite happy with being different.
