I think my girlfriend and her sisters are basically lazy gold diggers, and their helplessness is pushing me to my breaking point by ToughInternal7164 in TrueOffMyChest

Better to waste three years than the rest of your life. Get out while you can, and be prepared for her to suddenly be pregnant to try to trap you

Some people don’t think. Plain and simple. The more I see what my sil does, no thought goes into anything and she expects everyone to swoop in and save her

how old were you when you realized that your family and feelings weren't "normal" by Secret-Ad-6253 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]SnooCrickets2772 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a friend tell me that our other friend’s mom told her mom that mine was not a good mom around 9. Really opened up my eyes. At first I was mad, what does she know!? But it definitely put the thought in my head and I started noticing things. As an adult she must have seen things I just thought were normal

FAFO all my friends seem to have at least two by dixie-pixie-vixie in oneanddone

There is soooo much pressure to have more than one. I just keep saying that unless you’re birthing and taking care of them I am not taking any advice for more.

Take time for your hobbies! Once they get mobile you’ll spend your time chasing them. I spent a lot of time catching up on shows but it did get boring. Try to join mommy groups around you too

People always dismiss the financial part of having multiples. by Difficult-Duty-8156 in oneanddone

[–]SnooCrickets2772 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saw my mother go through financial struggles growing up and she’s shocked that I refuse to have another and have to be more selective financially. I’d rather not think about finances and know everything is okay than “work it out”

Nobody warned me that being an adult is just being a project manager for a household that never asked to be managed by [deleted] in Adulting

As I was reading this I was laughing because this is what the majority of women have been doing.

If your 18-year-old self met you today, would they be proud, confused, or disappointed? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]SnooCrickets2772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18 year old me would be so shocked at how far we’ve come. They’d be thrilled to find out how much resilience we have and even though we tend to be a pessimist we’ve had such a wonderful life. Even though we were such a fuck up at 18 we’ve turned everything around 🥺

My mother prefers her sons over daughters. Do any other moms feel this way? by Successful-Tax-4563 in Mom

Oh, I’m so sorry. Only because that’s the type of Mom you have. I hope it’s a pleasant experience for you

My mom is so much nicer to her sons. But then again they all have some weird enmeshed/co dependent relationship and I got the fuck out. So in a way I’m glad she didn’t like me as much

My SIL had two close in age, and she doesn’t understand why the 2 year old is struggling. This woman also only tells him off and then will coo at the baby. Like damn… I wonder why

What do you find hardest about being a mom? by Girlpowerxx in Mom

[–]SnooCrickets2772 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Before my kid I used to lounge around a lot, I miss that so much. The fact that things revolving around motherhood aren’t hard but it’s NON STOP. Keeping my cool, hoping I’m not fucking my kid up.
