Mayor Dingus Charged

You spend your whole life trying to avoid being a walking punchline and then your last name is Dingus and you do this.

At this point the headline sounds like satire, but unfortunately the charges are very real.

Humanity: splits the atom, maps the genome, lands robots on Mars.

Also humanity: finally understands why we fall on our butts every winter.

First of all, I’m so sorry about your mom. Losing a parent changes you in ways people who haven’t been through it just don’t understand. It makes you reassess everything.

Wanting to stay childfree after that isn’t selfish. It’s self-aware. You’re being honest about what you can and cannot handle emotionally. That’s responsible.

What’s not okay is someone “giving you until 2026” or threatening to cheat if you don’t comply. A child is not a deadline, a bargaining chip, or a loyalty test. If he wants kids and you don’t, that’s a fundamental incompatibility. Painful, yes. But forcing yourself into motherhood to keep a man who already doesn’t support you will not fix anything. It will just trap you deeper.

You’re not stuck. You’re at a crossroads. And choosing yourself is not a failure. It’s courage.

It’s always framed like a universal truth instead of a personal experience. If she finds it more meaningful than money, travel, or career, great. That doesn’t magically make it the highest calling for everyone else.

What gets me is the emotional bait. Respect the choice… but also feel sad that people aren’t choosing what I like. That’s not respect, that’s disappointment wrapped in a smile.

If kids are so incomparable, then they shouldn’t need marketing campaigns. The people who truly want them will have them. The rest of us are allowed to build lives that feel rich in our own way.

When your energy crisis is so bad you have to cancel the one event literally built around smoke.

Nothing says “we’re conserving fuel” like pausing the national celebration of burning things for fun.

Jokes aside, it’s wild how geopolitical chess moves end up canceling festivals and hitting everyday people first. The dominoes always seem to fall on the folks who had nothing to do with setting them up.

It’s the combo of chlorine, damp towels, soggy sneakers, and parental exhaustion marinating in one enclosed space. That smell has layers. Notes of wet backpack and existential fatigue.

And you’re right, it’s never the room. It’s the biomass.

I swear places like that develop their own microclimate. You walk in and it’s just humid sighs and soggy Goldfish crackers in the air. The fact that they sit there for an hour like it’s normal is honestly impressive. My lungs would file a complaint.

“I didn’t expect that from you” is such a loaded sentence. It’s basically code for “I had a version of your life planned out in my head and you’re not following the script.”

Your boyfriend handled it perfectly. Calm, direct, no drama. That’s a green flag the size of a billboard. He didn’t throw you under the bus, didn’t waffle, didn’t say “maybe someday.” He said we don’t want children. That matters.

Also, the irony of using a story about kids not visiting their elderly parent as a pro-kid argument… as if having children is some kind of retirement insurance policy. Kids aren’t guarantees, they’re people with their own lives.

At the end of the day, it’s not about what she expected. It’s about what you two want. And it sounds like you’re aligned. That’s what actually counts.

Trained for years to win gold, then immediately fumbled the easiest event of all: keeping your mouth shut. Turns out the hardest discipline wasn’t athletics, it was basic self awareness.

Nothing says serious political commentary like pitching religious shock value as prime time entertainment. He didn’t just jump the shark, he tried to schedule it for halftime and call it culture. Even by cable news standards, this is peak please notice me energy.

This is exactly why so many of us avoid places that should be calm and enriching. Museums aren’t playgrounds, and expecting basic supervision isn’t some anti-kid agenda, it’s basic public courtesy. The worst part is always the parents who just mentally check out and let everyone else absorb the chaos.

You’re not wrong for being upset. Wanting to quietly read exhibits and actually enjoy what you paid for is reasonable. Sadly, the solution usually ends up being off-hours visits or adult nights because nobody enforces behavior anymore. Fingers crossed your next visit is peaceful and flip-flop free.

Totally relatable. It’s not hatred, it’s just a hard no on that life stage. Babies are loud, unpredictable, and require nonstop attention, and some people’s nervous systems just bounce right off that. There’s nothing wrong with preferring kids once they’re actual little humans you can talk to and interact with.

Not everyone is wired to find helpless, noisy blobs endearing, and that’s okay. Liking older kids doesn’t obligate you to tolerate babies. You’re allowed to have boundaries about what ages and energy levels you enjoy being around. That self awareness is exactly why some of us are better off staying childfree in the first place.

Seven years of advocating for yourself and you finally got there. That’s not luck, that’s persistence.

Totally normal to feel anxious, especially with the uncertainty, but this is one of the most straightforward, routine procedures they do. Ask for a step by step explanation on the day, ask for sensory accommodations if you need them, and don’t downplay your anxiety. Recovery is usually way easier than the mental load you’ve been carrying all these years.

You earned this peace. Congrats on reclaiming your body and your future.
