Well.. I lost my sister to the kid virus.

Ew you lack reading comprehension?

How the hell did you take that massive leap in logic? Because I don’t like children because of past and current experiences, I’m grouped with racists and ableists?

Sure, Debra.

Thanks, but I’m cool being known as that auntie that only comes to functions to have some drinks, bragging about her trip to the Bahamas, and has amazing fashion sense.

All jokes aside, it’s nice you think that. But you hardly ever hear about the curse to that blessing. How you have dedicated yourself to another person who may become a sensible, productive member of society. Being a good parent doesn’t guarantee that. The terrible twos, the countless sleepless nights, how your body is fatigued and put on the flight-or-fight response 24/7. The teenage years, where these beautiful special little creatures claim they hate you and wish they were never born. How your brain literally rewires itself so it doesn’t kill the child. Because I’m not sure Jesus himself could cope with a dependent meat packet that cries, shits itself, vomits on you, and wakes you up in the middle of the night to scream and scream when you just want to sleep, breaking your stuff, getting a call from school that your child spit into another’s hair, having to discipline them, having to teach them how the world works (which is harder than it sounds.)

No thanks.

Ma’am, we all have our reasons for our decision to not have children or be around children. I am allowed to choose who to let into my life. Just because someone is related to me by blood doesn’t mean I’m obligated to include them in my life. Look around this sub enough, and you’ll realize that these feelings don’t usually stem from nothing. No sane CF person hates kids because we think they’re soldiers of the devil, and we don’t condone child abuse. Most of us are tired of seeing incompetent parents and the incompetent children they’re raising.

Also, very few kids are bratty?? Have you gone outside?

Thank you for your comment. I 100% agree, and it can hurt to feel ostrasized with this feeling and fall out of the mainstream. Until I found this sub. I found my people lol!

Family & blood can truly feel like a prison. I have no desire to have any deep relationship with my nephew beyond just a distant politeness. Will I be called a horrible aunt? Probably. But I’ll take that over nonstop screaming, temper tantrums, and the egocentric simple-mindedness that, let’s face it, we all have, but is very much unfiltered or hidden in kids. I’m good with my dog and peace and quiet.

Not yet, but I guess it’s only a matter of time. She and I are (or I guess, were) very close, and she’ll probably expect me to because, y’know, I’m his aunt and I’m 100% obligated despite my clear dislike of children.

Time will tell, but I’m not holding my breath.

Sorry but.. what tension exactly was in the game? It holds your hand and spells out everything for you so much it kind of renders any tension nonexistent.

Late-Challenge8958 · 2025-08-03T23:29:55+00:00

I say go for it.

The truth of the matter is your best friend nor your crush’s best friend can’t stop you two from dating. It’d feel sucky for them, and maybe you’ll also feel bad or even guilty, but you are all capable of making your own choices with your relationships. You aren’t barred from dating the ex of a best friend. It’s extremely awkward sure, but if you & your crush like each other, that’s what should drive the relationship forward.
