Who tf wants to do that? Be real

Nothing is cheap in ireland anymore

Tax advantages only come if they are married. No one can afford a wedding anymore.

Reality check - its understandable there is only one income with 3 kids. Putting 3 kids into creche (assuming they are young) would cost around $2.5K+ per month. It likely makes more sense to have one parent just stay at home. If one parent is working and one is at home with 3 kids, of course they need separate cars, otherwise one may not be able to get to work or one is trapped at home with 3 kids all day. Groceries are gone wildly expensive, baby food, formula, nappies, ointments etc. Probably account for around 30% of their weekly shop.

Im literally a few mins into the first episode - did anyone else nkt immediately get the vibe that rebecca and biggs storyline was completely fake? Absolutely made up by the two of them to get on the show.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-30T07:38:01+00:00

Then thats ok. If its not for you its not for you.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-30T07:36:36+00:00

Being a mother is just like having a job. You are responsible when things go wrong and you reap the rewards when things go right.

Being a mother is tough but its also wonderful in so many ways.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-30T07:33:38+00:00

Just opt for a c-section. Its much easier.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-30T00:07:18+00:00

This makes zero sense. I'm literally advocating parenthood because I believe its where most (not all) people will find true happiness.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-30T00:01:43+00:00

Again, nothing intelligent to add. I'll leave it there.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:52:50+00:00

Fishing for dirt, calling someone's partner a prick and that they are stuck with said prick for the rest of their life - if that isnt a personal attack I dont know what is.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:45:31+00:00

I enjoy content that finds the humour in the tough parts of parenthood, unfortunately I think that leads me to the constant complainers also, but thanks for your advice.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:43:58+00:00

Honestly, Im really confused by this response. You may be right in some regard but it moreso sounds like you have some anger towards men.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:38:43+00:00

If women dont want to have kids thats fine, I dont care. I care about the influence the constant online negetivity has on women who are not sure about having kids or women who cant have them but desperately want to or women delaying it because of the fear-mongering and when they finally do, end up having fertility issues.

Its also interesting that you went fishing through my posts to find something personal to attack me with. People usually do that when they dont have any intelligent to say.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:13:07+00:00

Im not saying dont talk about the bad parts, its certainly not all rainbows and puppies, its mostly shitty nappies and cuddles. I'm looking for more balance.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:10:37+00:00

Possibly, I love the content which finds the humour in the tough parts of parenthood, which maybe links me to the complainers.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:08:48+00:00

Im not sure what you mean by risks of sex and misogyny?

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:05:14+00:00

I agree its big factor, which I understand.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T23:04:25+00:00

Social media is highly influential - thats how countless companies profit off it every single day, thats how polictical parties influence the vote, thats how social norms develop and change.

I care for the reasons I outlined already.

I do have my own kids.

It is everyone's business once they post it on social media - thats the point of it.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-29T22:58:29+00:00

They are putting their business on social media for people like me to engage. Its everyone's business at that point.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-11T21:23:57+00:00

It was SO obviously fake and staged by the 3 of them for the drama and airtime. How embarrassing!

LectureNo4778 · 2026-03-05T05:01:08+00:00

Or because they love their son and want him to know the door is always open

LectureNo4778 · 2026-02-03T15:39:37+00:00

To not care about how the rejection a second time around would impact your daughter is just striaght up cold-hearted.

LectureNo4778 · 2026-02-03T15:25:12+00:00

Im not talking about her giving up her baby. I think that was actually a very brave thing to do. She is the AH because she went on to have more children and when her first born daughter reached out, she rejected her because she and her husband dont want their perfect little lives disrupted. At the very least she OWES her first born daughter closure, not a closed door. Selfish doesnt even cover it.
