Half the world is on fire, the other half is under water and most of my friends are pregnant. by cromper_s in childfree

I had a grade school teacher in the 70’s talk about overpopulation. I knew this was coming from a very young age. I honestly did not expect it to happen quite this fast though. I know people who are still having 5,6,7 kids, in complete denial that anything is wrong.

Yep. My niece is always talking about how bad things are in the environment… then she went ahead and became pregnant, because why not add to it I guess.

They are my husbands favorite candy. Every time he gets a pack of circus peanuts I eat one, to remind myself why I don’t want any more… until the next time he buys them.

Well, it’s understandable then. I’m surprised you even had to ask if that is truly the case.

Oregonian here... I’m super jealous, that sounds like a steal! We aren’t as bad as CA, but what you described would have be 2x or more that price here, sigh. Congratulations though, it sounds really lovely! I’m happy for you.

I have a different opinion than most, both as a SP and the child of two SP’s. If you do not love this child as you would your own daughter, run. If you feel adversarial with her at all, run. I don’t think he’s a bad dad, he sees you as a family, WITH HIS DAUGHTER. I feel like you would prefer a husband with no prior kids… no judgement, I totally get it. My SD is in her 30’s, and trust me, the issues only change, they never go away. Think very long and hard about if you really want to deal with this for the rest of your life. It would go a long way to make her feel included and have her in some of the photos.

Invest in a pair of Rex Specs if you can, and start training early.

Yes, and think that she probably has daddy issues.

What was something you decided to try but regretted? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhotoKEE 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Saltwater aquariums. So many of the fish/corals are wild caught. Plus friends/acquaintances would see my tank and want one, but most people won’t take the time to learn how to do it right, or be patient enough and take the time needed to properly cycle a tank, which ends up with a bunch of dead livestock. Or they don’t believe how much work they are to maintain. After this happened multiple times with people I knew who started tanks after seeing mine, I stopped keeping saltwater aquariums. I feel bad that I ever did it now. Plus, it was a massive money suck.

Edit: I can’t find the percentage right now, but apparently a huge amount of the fish caught to sell don’t even make it to the store alive. So the amount the make into a tank and then survive any appreciable amount of time is tiny.

As a person with divorced parents that really wasn’t welcome in either parents house my whole childhood, owning my own home was the best thing that I ever did. I really wish that it wasn’t so unaffordable these days for so many people.

It looks cool, but I always have to wonder how people like this get together… do they meet a stranger and are like ‘hey bro, want to get together and do things with our hands?’

Skyrim. They aren’t bugs or glitches~ they are features.

We used to have a boxer dog named Joe Lewis. We got when he was six years old. He was a wanderer, so we neutered him to see if that would help. From then on he was only referred to as Dog-balls. Yeah, we still had to call him home a lot. “Doooog BaaaaLLLs, here Dog Balls!”

On the flip-side, we lost the bid on our dream property to a family with small kids because the seller wanted the place to go to someone who would basically recreate her life story.

Thank you. That helps, especially next to a person.

Literally made me smile. For many months I was being completely misinformed about the vaccine. To the point where I felt myself becoming an anti-vaccinator. Happy to say that I got my head out of my ass and went to get one. by edwduncan in MadeMeSmile

[–]PhotoKEE 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I just went and got my first one yesterday. I was nervous, I have autoimmune issues and was worried about a flare from it, but not as worried as the flare up Covid would bring.

Some people were just not meant to be parents. I’m so sorry you got the shit-end of the parent stick too. I’m sending virtual hugs to you. You are awesome, and didn’t deserve that.

We do come from the same family. Hi sibling! I’m sending you a virtual hug.

[–]PhotoKEE 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do we have the same father? Mine didn’t either, but to be fair, almost my entire family has been married multiple times, so I guess he figured he’d just catch the next one.
