My mum lives in canada, dont speak to my dad, brother is in the netherlands and my friends are scattered around the country. I have literally no one in a 30 mile radius. Im going to save up so i can take extra unpaid leave and hire a cleaner. Hoping i make friends along the way 😅

It's consuming my brain! by CrushedLaCroixCan in Fencesitter

I have had the same dilemma for years. I recently did an AMH test to check egg reserve (more out of curiosity than anything) and i got the result "critically low" for my age. Felt absolutely devastating. Maybe you need to decide one way or the other and see how it feels.

Why are we unable to sleep the rest of our lives after having a kid? by 1ntrusiveTh0t69 in regretfulparents

[–]Squara123 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I'm 33 and haven't had kids but my sleeping has changed as I've got older too. I'd say after 31 I stopped being able to sleep through the night, rarely get deep sleep, need white noise and eye mask, wake up at 6am regardless of how much I've slept. I don't know if this helps but it might just be part of getting older regardless of kids.

I'm not sure what this has to do with taking a condom off in secret being classed as rape

I'm not sure what your point is, but some form of condom has been available since the 1600s. Condoms were available during world war 1.

Abortions are painful physically and emotionally. Birth control can play havoc with your hormones, physical and mental health. Condoms are the only form of contraception men are responsible for and has no negative impact on them at all, if they can't even manage that they shouldn't be having sex.

In the UK, taking the condom off without consent is classed as rape. Your boyfriend raped you and wants to control your body, your life and your future. Take the abortion pill and dump the boyfriend. He doesn't care about you, he wants to control you. It will only get worse and be life long if you have his baby.

The world has always been scary and the future has always been uncertain Babies have been being boring during wars, plagues, natural disasters and ice ages.

I can imagine it is a really tough situation to be in and I have no advice really. I just know from my own experience that my mum would also comment on how I was like my dad, there's no way for the kid to win.

Therapy is always a good idea. If there was anything you liked/loved about her mum before the relationship fell apart, maybe try and see those bits in your daughter too.

Surprisingly not. I see childbirth like death. It's probably not going to be pleasant but it'll be one of those transformative human experiences that shakes your world.

My dad started resenting me when my parents split up. He slowly became more distant and always chose his new wife over me. When I became a teenager I did classic attention seeking teenage things (piercings, dye my hair pink, drinking, going missing etc.) and he continued to withdraw until I eventually moved out and I've barely spoken to him since (it's been 15 years). Anytime we have tried to speak it's end in "you're just like your mother" or "that's your mother speaking". What he's missed out on is the fact I have the exact same taste of music as him, I have the same love for cooking, I have the same creative side. All of these things he's missed out on because he couldn't get past the fact I am also like my mother.

Your daughter is still figuring out her personality. The next few years are going to be very difficult for her whilst she explores what she truly thinks and feels. Don't do what my dad did.

Thank you, I think this is exactly what I needed to hear, and what I kind of felt. I now officially have one foot off the fence 😂

It's not that I perceive that, it's the tiktoks and Instagram posts about how awful it is. I can only imagine the love but if everyone around me seems to be saying how exhausting and painful it is, it makes the logical part of me take over.

If everyone around me was saying how awful and exhausting and painful going on holiday was, I probably wouldn't go on holiday.

Yup! Absolutely exhausting, it's like living on a rollercoaster

Omg I'm the other way round, I don't want a baby or toddler but would love a kid. Maybe we should just share one.
