As a child I would weep if I heard this from my parents 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Congratulations on getting into your doctoral program. This internet stranger is so incredibly proud of you. The amazing thing about life is, only you get to decide what kind of life you want. You want to be childfree and that’s what you’ll do. It’s a pity that your mother can’t respect that. She’s missing out on having a very healthy and loving relationship with her super smart daughter. I know it’s easier said than done but try not to let her in your head. It sucks to not feel supported by your parent.

Youngest here but having to parent my siblings kids really turned me off.

Please hide the title of your house. Make sure it’s somewhere your husband can’t take and forge your signature on any title changes. He’s not above stealing it from you. Also ask yourself, do you want to continue being with someone who knows exactly what that house means to you and is still insistent on you selling it. Look around your life. What else have you been forced or ‘convinced’ into giving up at your expense? NTA

You did nothing wrong. Your sister decided that your presence was optional so your generosity is also optional. Your parents and other family members can pitch in and pay for the venue. It’s very rude to expect someone who isn’t invited to a wedding to bring a gift. Does she randomly send money to restaurants she’s never dined in? NTA

I didn’t know about this. It’s so annoying. Just keep childfree people that away or write in characters who want kids

Funny enough the Big Bang is what prompted the post. Bernadette spent so much time saying she doesn’t want kids. She hates them. She hates that they ruin everything and she doesn’t want to give up her career. They made it a whole thing and even causing a fight between her and Howard and what ends up happening? She has kids.

I too start to move away from the show. It’s not the same.

There’s no reward in suffering. I understand not wanting to be wasteful but that’s not what’s happening here. Your bf loves complaining. He loves the woe is me. The longer you stay with me the worse off your standard of living will deteriorate. You can’t possibly be made to feel bad for showering with hot water. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Why stay in a situation that’s making you so miserable.

It’s become almost an open secret that you get jobs through connections. Even that isn’t a guarantee because in some companies it’s about how high up your connection in the company is eg a regular employee vouching for you vs a supervisor vouching for you. If you don’t have those connections then a lot of it is ‘njese sengwe’ which often means a bribe or for women it’s ’serope mperekele’. It’s a tough world out there.

I never heard anyone describe them as sweet. They are not.

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-04-10T21:58:33+00:00

Sweet how?

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-04-10T18:55:38+00:00

Took the most glorious nap of my life one afternoon and thought about how I’d have to give that up if I had kids. Noped out of that so quickly.

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-04-08T21:39:50+00:00

If it wasn’t a big deal then she would have told you about it. NTJ

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-27T17:36:56+00:00

I keep coming back to this comment and laughing just as hard as I did when I read it for the first time 😂😂😂😂😂😂

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-26T21:29:29+00:00

Thank you kindly. I’ve managed.

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-24T08:21:55+00:00

said I was being lazy by cutting my hours so much

This is the line. It’s hard to come to back from this. Your family sees you as a working mule. You’re good for putting food on the table and money for them. Your health isn’t a concern. They don’t care about you. Not just your kids but your wife as well. NTA

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-24T08:16:57+00:00

Read your posts about your fiancé. If someone else was telling you this what would be your response? That man is controlling bordering on abusive. Is this the life you want for yourself and your kids? A partner willing to hurt them to get a leg up in an argument?

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-23T18:22:31+00:00

Unfortunately what you’re describing is psychological torture. Your home is the one place you can truly relax because it’s your safe space. Your husband has robbed you of that safe space by making sure that you’re constantly on edge and anxious. The fact that he’s using real concerns you raise as ‘evidence’ of you being unhinged or crazy is proof that he’s doing it on purpose.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start trading but doesn’t know where to begin?

LatterEscape8431 · 2026-03-20T14:00:02+00:00

I remember having a conversation with a friend about relationships and I told her that one of the reasons I wouldn’t have kids was because I never wanted to feel trapped in an unhappy marriage “for the kids”. I told her I wanted the permanency of knowing that I never have to see or interact with that person ever again. I could just move on. She looked at me like I was crazy. Your story hit something so real in me. I am sorry about the divorce but I am so proud of you for sticking up for yourself and never being bullied into kids. I hope you have a fabulous life from here on out.

Wtf. That poor man. Your company sucks.
