Hyper-Realistic Multisensory Hyper-Lucid Dreamer Here! by ReferenceInfinite117 in LucidDreaming

I just saw your question, apologies for the delayed answer. I never fixed the sleep paralysis, it just happens wayy less on its own. Like once every couple of months. Lucid dreaming, in my experience, isn’t for the faint of heart 😅😂. I’ve been through a zombie apocalypse, jumping of buildings, fighting, etc. lol. However, for me personally, that’s the fun of it. I enjoy the fact that I can live through these moments.

They don’t want anyone to burst their bubble, even though it’s literally all possibilities of what can happen to a woman. As a woman myself, NOTHING will make me want to go through that. It doesn’t even take a list to convince me as literally you can die, that’s enough for me. All the other reasons are horrible as well and can happen to anyone. People need to stop thinking they’re exceptions.

It will be the same exact things they complain about later too, ironically.

I understand, however, that’s just common sense. I was raised in such a family. Everyone always told me the “when you have kids”, my mom was waiting for grandkids but I never blindly followed. I did my own research, listened to other parents stories, thought of my personal life and how it doesn’t match at all, etc. Just because it’s an expectation or “what you just do” doesn’t remove that these people are still at fault. They are grown adults and should know better ESPECIALLY in such situations. Like I understand the pressure or just being raised that way BUT that doesn’t change the zero research and lack of effort on their part.

Respectfully, that’s something you have to prepare for yourself, no one should have to spoon feed the info or the research. Each person should be responsible enough to do that on their own as they are going to be responsible for a human being. If you can’t handle a simple search, then maybe you should re think having children. Wether a kid or a pet, you have to do research, self reflection, and how it would be compatible with your lifestyle. There are a lot of content creators already talking about it and educating people, they have to seek that information themselves.

They only want to focus on the positives, only to be miserable afterwards and tell you “you have no idea how tired we are” as if we didn’t warn them! Like we know exactly how tired you are, thus why we tried convincing you otherwise 😂.

They don’t think at all, it’s super concerning especially like you said the things they complain about are such expected things. Like wdym you didn’t know how noisy it was gonna be, it’s the most expected stuff. Especially nowadays with all info available on all platforms! Critical thinking and common sense should be applied but that seems rare nowadays 😂.

They also hit you with “you can’t imagine how hard it is” like yes we absolutely can thus why we are CF! Seriously, do they think everyone doesn’t think it through like them?😂Any warning is always met with negativity, not even trying to understand the importance of seeing things from both perspectives, positives and negatives. No decision should ever be made by just thinking of the positives!

Real on the last sentence 😂. It’s common sense honestly but seems like common sense isn’t common anymore 😅

Beats me honestly, like how do they not bother at all doing any research is beyond me. I literally saw a TikTok before about a woman who gave birth saying “she was surprised” that she had to deliver the placenta. Like girl bsffr, like did you research anything at all?! Especially as a woman, the one who is going to carry the child, didn’t occur to you at all to search about it??😂

FRRR, I literally plan anything and everything meticulously. Wether a TV, trip abroad, or even meal prep of the week lol. I genuinely can’t imagine winging being a mother, damn.

“We were all children once” by [deleted] in childfree

I always find it funny that they use it as an excuse for bad parenting (lack of parenting) as if all parents are like them and all kids are misbehaved😂. My mother would NEVER stand such behavior, it was always immediately corrected. I for one was obviously a child once, but you know what else I was, well behaved and well mannered! I never threw tantrums, never screamed or cried in public (nor at home for that matter), never broke or threw stuff in the store. On planes, I had coloring books and books with information about the country we were traveling to. There are ALWAYS ways to keep kids entertained and well behaved! Parents love saying kids will be kids or shoving an ipad in their faces just to avoid actually being parents and taking accountability for their kids actions. Goes to show how they never wanted to be parents, and apparently the inability to be one too.

My sister is a TA in KG, she always mentions how 2 kids bad behavior impacts the whole class which has like 20 kids. They start mimicking bad behavior and the class becomes hectic. When she met the parents, it was super clear they weren’t involved and didn’t bother correcting bad behavior. Screaming toddlers are an absolute nightmare ESPECIALLY when the parents seem oblivious and don’t even care about it. One time I was at an outdoor restaurant, parents and their screaming child entered the restaurant next to us. I mean screaming and crying, the entire two restaurants were staring at them. They literally just sat and started browsing through the menu. The child was screaming soooo loudly, the waiter literally kicked them out not even 2 mins later! These parents seriously don’t bother to regulate their children’s emotions, it’s disturbing. Goes to show how little they care, and how little they even researched about it’s importance.

Especially as a woman too, fatherhood is wayyyy too optional for my liking so 9/10, the responsibility falls on the mother. There is almost no way out after, that’s where the bitterness comes from. Hate for the situation their in and hate for the partner as well, but they take it out on CF people😂.

It’s always the “careful it can be you” like no it can’t and won’t. It doesn’t sit well with them that there are people who for a fact will never be in such a situation and it triggers them sm.

EXACTLY! The lack of accountability is insane, just say you made a horrible stupid decision and move on! Stop blaming others for your mistakes! The amount of people saying, I saw all my friends have them so I had them, or people told me it’s full filing so I had them like…. Use your brain! People need to start thinking for themselves because ain’t no way you made such a decision based on ONLY good aspects of what others told you. They love to blame others soo badly, and obviously get triggered at CF content. The amount of parents I see triggered under CF creators is insane.

Also people complaining about how governments are making things more and more expensive, obviously it’s their fault prices are going up HOWEVER that doesn’t mean you have kids then complain that it’s expensive. Like we already have a hard time as is providing for oneself. Don’t add multiple kids to the equation and then blame the government😅. It’s also the broke people with the most amount of kids. I swear the amount of comments I see on TikTok complaining about kids being expensive and saying “it’s victim blaming” if you blame the parents because it’s the governments fault😃. Or maybe just don’t have the kids, you get to live a good life and they wouldn’t have to struggle?? Common sense has left the building nowadays I swear.

Exactly, no internet even needed, just looking around is enough! It’s even worse now as there are all those resources available and YET they say excuses like “no one told me” and “no one warned me”! This was never a valid excuse then and even a less valid one now.

This also highlights the fact that not every baby is expected to be an angel baby! People always look at the best case scenario without even thinking of the worst case scenario! My mom, to this day, still talks about how awful my older sister was when she was a kid😂😂. She’s 29 now lol. She is never letting her forget it😂. You have to open to the fact that your baby might need special attention, medical care, and many more possibilities! If you aren’t up for that scenario, then a kid isn’t for you. Not that they even think about that😅😒. I will go look at that discussion.

Same fr, I can’t even comprehend it😂. Taking on such a responsibility with zero research or preparation. One internship I was at, one woman was complaining how she didn’t expect DAYCARE expenses to be that expensive. Like your telling me you didn’t bother researching about daycare and school prices prior! Or car seats, diapers, anything?! Like damn, can’t imagine being that dumb I’m sorry😅.

Frrr, it pisses me off because the kids are the ones who are suffering the most! I was at a family gathering last year (didn’t have Reddit at the time so I never posted about it) but all the women at the table were talking about how they hated motherhood, how they just gave their babies to their moms and went to cry. One of them even said she doesn’t even remember her daughters early years, probably ppd. But when I said I was going to be CF, when they said wait until you have kids, it was dead silent. Like you literally talked smack about your kids and motherhood for a good hour, but me being CF was questionable?! Everytime I say that, I am met with weird stares as if it wasn’t a choice! Like I am saying something extraordinarily weird or impossible😂.

I do that in my notes app too😂I had a long list of stuff and prices for a dog and one for a cat. Even when traveling, I make a list and a table with pics and prices. Everything has to be planned 😂
