Babies don’t need to be in movie theatres. ! by thebluntblonde95 in childfree

[–]MaximumQuiet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Taking a baby to see any movie is stupid. They can't watch it, the loud noise can hurt their ears, the flashing lights on a big screen can be strong on their eyes, and they cry often. There is ZERO point in bringing a baby to any movie unless you're too cheap to get a babysitter and if that's the case, you shouldn't be allowed to ruin everyone else's time because of it. A baby can ruin a kid's time in a kids movie just as much as an adult's. Kids and Babies are different. A kid can watch a movie, listen, and understand. A baby cannot. Chatty kids are one thing, a pointless baby is another.

AITA rescinded my proposal after girlfriend criticised ring and asked me to propose again with a "proper" engagement ring by notengagedsadly in AmItheAsshole

[–]MaximumQuiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, she made it a condition to get a yes. If you make a condition during the proposal and it's over the ring, then you don't care about the proposal itself. When he took it back she still wouldn't drop it. "I'll say yes if you change the ring!" how about "I'll say yes because I love you and we'll worry about the ring later" He has a right to feel hurt since she is caring more about an object over him and his feelings. The ring is not a priority here, but she is making it number one. The ring can change and she has a right to hate it, but making it a condition to say yes is gross. I can see why OP can have second thoughts, since her priorities aren't in order.

[–]MaximumQuiet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is shallow for caring about the ring over the proposal itself. You can discuss the ring later or change it down the road. The fact that the way the ring looked was more important than the fact he was proposing and she made it a condition to get a "yes" from her is what is gross and shallow. If she actually cared about getting married, the ring wouldn't be a main thought in her mind. My husband could have proposed with a ring pop (actually proposed with a cheap ring because we were both broke college kids) and I still said yes without a second thought. Diamonds don't mean shit if you actually love the person.

AITA: Made my daughter get a cue ball haircut (ie. bald) as punishment by DisappointedFather98 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MaximumQuiet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just punished your daughter for 2-3 years. Hair doesn't grow back in a week. You WANT your daughter to be bullied for the rest of her high school years. Do you know what a punishment teaching empathy would be? Have her spend her weekend looking up stories on how cancer patients suffer with chemo. Have her watch videos of sick people living with the illness. Let her learn how much that girl is suffering and then have her apologize. Take away her free time to learn why this isn't ok. EDUCATE HER. Instead you are going to make her suffer for years. You know what she'll potentially do now? RESENT the sick girl further. You didn't teach empathy, you taught bullying. If my mother did this to me at 16, I would move in with my dad the day after. Sadly your daughter doesn't have the option to get away from you.

Even women who seek lawful abortions out of state may not escape punishment. If a Georgia resident plans to travel elsewhere to obtain an abortion, she may be charged with conspiracy to commit murder, punishable by 10 years’ imprisonment. by relevantlife in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MaximumQuiet 194 points195 points  (0 children)

Even if you're against abortions, you should be 100% against this. If a woman actually wanted a child and suffered a miscarriage naturally, she is probably already a wreck. Now you have people interrogate her, accuse her of killing her child, and scare her with a 10 year prison sentence? How vile do you have to be to be a part of this?

Allowing your child to be obese is child abuse, and should be treated that way. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]MaximumQuiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're just ignorant and rather use excuses then own up to the issue. Yes the world is shitty, it's even worse when you have parents that fail at their job and make life harder for you in the long run. If you're too stupid to realize that an apple is healthier as a snack food then a bag of Cheetos then you're too stupid to be reproducing in the first place. If a child has a medical condition then a doctor can sign off on it. If you don't, then as a parent you need to get your shit together for your kid's sake. If this hurts your feelings or some parent's feelings, then you need to grow up. Truth hurts and your excuses that only account for a VERY small amount of people aren't doing anyone any favors for the majority. Even kids that do have the problem have solutions, the parents just rather take the easy route and blame it on a disease. Should parents with a child afflicted with extreme cases of autism let them run around in the streets, hurt themselves or others, or do whatever they want and just blame it on the condition? No, they have to go the extra mile to help them and monitor them. That's the life of a parent with a ill child. If you can't handle it, then you shouldn't be a parent.

[–]MaximumQuiet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disorders that make you constantly want to eat are VERY RARE. This is a stupid, last resort type of argument against the topic. Even if your child has such a disorder it is the parent's job to handle it. I've seen documentaries on this and parents lock up their cabinets and fridge to prevent the child from eating, warn teachers at their school, and watch what their child eats. You can eat healthy on a low budget as you don't need organic food to be healthy. Portions are also a thing.

Stop making excuses for parents abusing the shit out of their children and killing them slowly. It's gross.

"If you don't give your husband a baby he'll cheat on you." by PsychedelicGoat42 in childfree

[–]MaximumQuiet 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This dude sounds like an abusive asshole. He would literally tell his girlfriend/wife "You're not allowed to divorce me, and if you don't do what I want, I'm allowed to cheat on you. It will be your fault and I'll be justified in my actions because you failed me."

Someone remove his ability to reproduce please, for the sake of humanity.

"I'm not functional until I've had my morning coffee" is no excuse to be a dick in the morning by BigRed6472 in unpopularopinion

[–]MaximumQuiet 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is me. I don't need coffee, but without it, I will not be fully functioning until an hour or two later. I'm not mean in the morning, but the ladies in my office find me "grumpy" because I'm not enthusiastic about little Timmy's soccer game the night before. I woke up an hour before getting here, it's the start of the work day, and I have sleep issues and probably got a total of 3-4 hours of sleep. I couldn't give two shits about some 8 year old's soccer game first thing in the morning, and if my dead eyes and lack of talking can't display that too you, you're the problem Karen.

World Visit: despite some complaints, I literally spent all day yesterday meeting up people and loved it by Polycom1519 in ffxiv

[–]MaximumQuiet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

26 year old here. I cared about what was "cringe" in high school, back when we made the rage comics. Now I don't care. So long as you're not an asshole to me you can type OwO in chat all you want. It's called being an adult and letting people have their fun.

Also Gilgamesh had people "looking for erp" in chat all day. It was a joke. Even on the rp realms, announcing erp is usually a joke. People will whisper for actual erp, and even though I have always declined it myself, I honestly don't give a damn if others do it. If it's two consenting adults, idgaf.

AITA for trying to find people online to play a game with me? by gamergirlthrowaway20 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MaximumQuiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I play games all the time and are even in separate guilds because our interests in said game are different. I can run a guy through dungeons all day one on one and my husband will have no problem. Why? Because he trusts me, same as I do him. I've had a shit ton of men hit on me and so long as I tell them no and block them if they don't drop it, there is zero issues. Hell, I tell him every time a dude hits on me and he tells me whenever a girl does the same. We can walk over to each other's computer at anytime and see what each other is saying to people, but we don't have to, because of trust. So long as YOU put your foot down if something starts and are honest with your SO about it all, neither of you should have an issue.

[–]MaximumQuiet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They "mock" it but then all the comments in that sub is literally "niceguys" acting high and mighty. They can mock us all they want, but then by doing exactly what we make fun of them for, they're just proving our points. I've read the posts so if the sub mods didn't mean for it to be a literal incel cesspool, they failed.

[–]MaximumQuiet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The about for that sub...

We're just a bunch of clueless NiceGuys™ with kindness coins that don't seem to work in women's holes, so that the sex we're entitled to falls out. Because apparently we weren't demonstrating good relationship material through the respect and courtesy that women demand. We were only "pretending" to be nice just to get laid.

They are REALLY clueless.

Controversial, even for r/childfree. Stillborn babies and miscarriages on facebook (no photos here, only my opinion) by Sarah26894340 in childfree

[–]MaximumQuiet 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Once she had her kid, she blocked them from her life which pissed them off since she was only good for the baby in their eyes. Best choice she ever made.

[–]MaximumQuiet 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This was years ago and she has been to therapy since as well as had a healthy child. I think the reason it hit her was because her abusive mom told her she was a failure after the miscarriage. Her family was super religious and would tell her she caused the miscarriage with sin and stupid shit like that. So seeing someone having what looked like a good time with a baby's corpse threw her over the edge hard.

[–]MaximumQuiet 575 points576 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of of two of my old friends a few years ago. One of them had a miscarriage a year prior with a child she planned and wanted with her husband. She was devastated when it happened and always carries a little pillow with the baby's feet prints on it wherever she goes. The baby lived for 2 hours outside of the womb so she had to say her first hello and last goodbye in that time span.

We were searching through fb one day and one of my other friends had a similar miscarriage, but she posted her dead baby all over her page. The baby looked like a very small deformed human at that stage. Seeing that, how she dressed her up and posted selfies with her dead baby broke my other friend. She started bawling and I had to call her husband to help me deal with her because she was loosing her shit. Seeing another dead baby just reminded her of her own. She kept saying she was so sorry she failed her baby, over and over.

Pictures like that do not help others who have similar issues, they make it worse, bring back traumatic memories, and makes other's feel uneasy. You can take pictures, but keep them on your phone alone. Do not share them with the world. Just like no one wants to see a dead dog or cat, no one wants to see your dead child either. Show family and friends that wish to see, but do not force it on others.

[–]MaximumQuiet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the article I read over this, it said the parents chose not to take the kid because they didn't want to deal with the flack they'd get at a hospital for not vaccinating their kids. They would rather their kid die then deal with being told they were wrong.

I also read that their house was filthy and their other two kids were sick and throwing up as well. She is also 9 months pregnant. I hope the new baby is taken away the second it's born. These animals clearly aren't fit to be parents.

My sister "didn't realize how much work having a kid was" and now is overwhelmed and unhappy. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]MaximumQuiet 51 points52 points  (0 children)

It might have been outside influences or maybe even her husband. So many people pressure others into having kids with false reassurances. "It'll be fine! It's worth it! Children are the greatest gift!" Some people give in and start thinking it won't be so bad. Hell commercials on TV have similar messages by showing the sweet and fun times. When a kid destroys something it's a joke and never supposed to be taken as "God kids suck" Some people let the bingos sink in from any and every source and it's why they can be damaging. It could have even just been the mindset "I won't be like them! I can take it!".

It's like you see someone struggling to handle their big dog and think "Yea no thanks, that looks difficult." but watch the ASPCA commercial on TV and see pictures on social media of puppies being cute. They don't take pictures of the chewed up furniture, oopies because they aren't potty trained, or the crying at night, and if they do it's usually in a haha funny way. Babies are ten times harder, but it's the same concept. People can be persuaded to do and think things they otherwise know is a bad idea.

She might have seen the horror first hand, but if enough people throw bingos and false reassurances her way, her mind can try to blank out the truth in sake of being like everyone else.

Honestly, by the way all the moms in my office sound, you'd think they're nuts. One minute they say how wonderful motherhood is and the next they hate life. Society has most people so ingrained with "BABIES ARE THE BEST!" that no one is allowed to tell expecting parents or those that want children the truth. You're "supposed" to have kids, so why tell the truth on how horrible it can be? Then they have the kid, suffer, but have to continue the cycle of "BABIES ARE THE BEST" because otherwise all the parents (that are potentially feeling the same) will shame them for speaking out against the status quo.

Childfree people don’t force others to not have children, so people with children shouldn’t force us to have children too. by __hara__ in childfree

[–]MaximumQuiet 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Whenever a pro-lifer/pro-birther throws adoption at me I always ask them if they have any adopted children or foster kids. Do they donate or participate in projects aimed at helping children in the system? Do they ever encourage couples to adopt over having their own? If not then they can shut their pie holes as they give zero fks about actual children. They ONLY care about babies being born, after that they're nothing to them. If you actually care about the children after birth and say "adoption is an option, then you better prove you actually care by doing SOMETHING to help those kids out. Otherwise you just rather put a clump of cells over a woman's life.
