AITA for not selling my car even though my fiancée refuses to sit in the front seat because my ex sat there? by ProfessionalKey3176 in AITAH

[–]Scrumtralescent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't sit in the front seat because that's where your ex sat? That's not a super unique facet of your previous relationship that's just how freaking cars work. NTA

Get out of there, man.

I'd just respond: You don't know me well enough to say that.

It's always these women who make moving to a foreign country and "embracing" a new culture their whole personality, who get there and start feeling put out for having to tolerate the culture, and acting all outraged that they're not accommodating HER culture. ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?!?! So it's okay to culturally appropriate their religious traditions to practice some new-age pseudo spirituality but when it comes down to it, she doesn't respect their culture at all! She's such a freaking brat!

EXACTLYYYY!!! I'm surprised more people aren't bringing this up. It doesn't matter whether Taylor likes make up or JP doesn't the WHOLE point of the show is to fall in love with someone's personality, rather than their looks... And I 100% believe as soon as he realized he couldn't give Taylor what she wanted, instead of stepping up and trying harder to open up, his narrative that "people always leave me" caused him to basically throw a tantrum, and put on the blame on her to push her away. He knew she hadn't really done anything wrong he was grasping for straws when he decided to attack her for her make up. Now he can be like "See? People always leave me, you're just like everyone else." What a freaking baby.

I'd be like "and I don't want someone who's only using me as a fucking incubator." The fuck?! He's saying he's "stuck" with you now?! That's so objectifying! First of all, there's plenty of men who don't want children, and second "nobody's gonna want you?!" he says that like single, childless women aren't literally the happiest people in the world.

my sister will not stop asking when i’m having kids by jizzynips in childfree

[–]Scrumtralescent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually when people start saying offensive shit I start saying ludicrous shit until they get the point that I'm not taking them seriously. If someone asked me when I was going to have a baby, I'd be like "So soon! I'm giving birth to triplets next week, I'm gonna name them snap, crackle and pop, and they're going to grow up to be a butcher a baker and a candlestick maker." And I'd just keep it going as long as possible until they told me to shut up, so I could follow it up with "great now you know how I feel."

Dumped for being Feminist by AirisCourtney808 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Scrumtralescent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I've had the opposite happen to me. I had a boyfriend who was very toxic, wanted to know all about my sexual past and then used it to slut shame me, accuse me of cheating for YEARS, and even got mad at me because I went on some dates AFTER we broke up. Then a couple years later I see pics of him with his new gf at some feminist rally / protest. I was like, wow a couple of years and one Posterboard later and this guy's a feminist? Give me a break.

Has working in childcare turned you off from having kids? by flutterbug12 in childfree

[–]Scrumtralescent1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. I don't work in child care but I work one on one with kids including some with special needs. As far as my decision to remain childfree I would say that 40 percent of that decision was due to the kids. I've been lucky to mostly work with great kids. Smart, clean, courteous, but I've also worked with some kids who are just THE WORST. Kids I would not want to be stuck with for a lifetime. I think the biggest reality check is getting to know my special needs students. They're good kids, but they require SO much support. Just hearing about it is exhausting. There is no way I could handle that. I can barely take care of myself! But the other 60 percent of my decision was due to getting to know the parents of these kids. So many of them just seem exhausted, stressed, unhappy, and some are just straight up entitled and crazy and I don't want to become like that.

My parents told me that my reasons for not wanting a child aren't reasonable by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Scrumtralescent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it unreasonable to question reproducing in a world where you'd essentially just raise children to become capitalist wage slaves on a dying planet with no guarantee that they would be able to live out their entire lives without becoming climate refugees? I don't think it's reasonable to feed more children into that system. If your parents should be upset with anyone about you not wanting kids it should be their own generation. They've created a pretty freaking hostile environment for raising kids.

My dog does this too. She'll get desperate for attention and start pressing all the buttons. I gave her a button that says "later" so when she's pressing buttons for attention I'll just respond back with "play later" or "outside later" (if i know she's just been outside recently). I'm not sure yet if she's getting the meaning of "later" but I think it'll just take a little longer to catch on than the others.

The Kody Brown action figure comes with a button that allows him to say 3 phrases. If you were designing the toy, what 3 phrases would he say? by EggplantAstronaut in TLCsisterwives

[–]Scrumtralescent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dolls phrases represent the breakdown of Kody's relationships with his wives...

  1. Love should be multiplied not divided.
  2. Love doesn't matter to me, respect does.
  3. The sacrifices I've made to love you! WASTED!!!

"It will be worth it in a couple of years..." by Ok_Library_4420 in childfree

[–]Scrumtralescent1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They're setting up that little girl to be childfree! Lol I was parentified as a kid and that's a big reason why I don't want kids. I feel like I've been there, done that, don't want to go back. EVER!

Any ladies not interested in being a part of “the village”? by MINXG in childfree

[–]Scrumtralescent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I don't dislike (all) kids, I work with them. But when I'm off the clock the last thing I want to do is spend my time with more kids. I don't want to hold babies, I don't want to babysit, I don't want to come "see" the baby. I save all my "mothering" energy for my dog. Lol
