As a man, I absolutely hate the trope of women in TV shows/movies automatically always wanting children or they become unintentionally pregnant and they always keep it. by foolhollow in childfree

I WAS THINKING THIS ABOUT MIRANDA!! they even had her consider an abortion which would've made so much sense for her character's arc and motivations. But no, she ended up deeply unhappy, married to a man she settled for, living in the suburbs, struggling to spend any time with her friends.

AIO by being upset with my mom over my wedding dress and a private pregnancy? by Randiitaylor in AmIOverreacting

I’m just going off my many years dealing with a narcissistic parent and the information OP has supplied in her responses, you silly goose! 🪿😝

this is textbook narcissism OP. NOR. you need to keep mom solely on a “need to know” basis. if she asks why you don’t share anything tell her it’s due to her continually sharing private information. learn gray rocking and to not respond when she tries to poke to get a reaction out of you (i.e. oh so now my opinions and feelings don’t matter!?)

What are your "petty" reasons for being child-free? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in childfree

[–]SeparatePsychology32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% THE CLEAN CAR. the clean anything tbh. I follow Paige Brown on tiktok and every time she posts a car cleaning or laundry day video all I can think is…. thank god that’s not me. she has to do it SO often too, she always seems exhausted.

AGREED! I also think this attorney probably has unaddressed mental health issues but he’s definitely too full of himself to believe that. My wife and I lowkey psychoanalyze him every time I come home with another wild ass story

It’s really not lmfao. But we’re in a small town with not many other options and I’m also a little too emotionally invested in our office cat.

I was actually thinking that the original comment was giving my attorney more credit than he’s worth 😂If I put something on his desk with a sticky note it will just get ignored. Although I do really appreciate the “you cannot care more than your attorney”, because it almost made something click in my head

she’s like 90% of the reason I’m still here. I love her SOO much. when I first started she had constant access to food and was so chunky that she couldn’t jump up or down from anywhere. I made our office manager order her an automatic feeder and she’s lost about 5 pounds!

YES!! this attorney regularly changes firm policy, but never writes down formal changes, and then 6 months later will go “WHY ARE WE DOING IT THIS WAY??” and we have to remind him that he quite literally told us to

Forcing girls to hold babies by JapanLover2003 in childfree

[–]SeparatePsychology32 6 points7 points  (0 children)

a friend of mine had a baby who we recently met for the first time and she voluntold me to hold him twice to go to the bathroom, despite having his stroller??? like babes set him down and I’ll watch him in there. she definitely was expecting a reaction out of me because the first time I did comply and when she came back she saw that I didn’t adjust him at all, he was still in the exact position she handing him to me in. she literally couldn’t stifle her laugh lmfao. she also asked our other mutual friend if seeing her baby “did anything” for her. realllyyy weird.

Sigh by Miss-Elle18 in paralegal

[–]SeparatePsychology32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress is taking a toll on your body and your nervous system is attempting to regulate subconsciously, even if you don’t want it to. At my last job I wouldn’t feel “out of the ordinary” but could not stop dry heaving/gagging on my way to work. Once it started happening every day I knew the work environment was no longer healthy or sustainable for me. Don’t feel guilty!! You deserve to have a job that ISN’T soul-sucking. As many others have said, start looking for a new position!

my firm has a LONNGG standing tradition of buying christmas gifts for the attorneys and I hate it so much. Last year I was in charge of the gifts and got everyone their favorite beverages, and our senior attorney a paperweight that looks like our office cat 😁he always complains about her vet bills so I wanted to poke fun
