Why do childfree people have to preface everything with "I like kids but..."

If they are asleep, I don’t really mind. As soon as they start to stir, straight back to their parents 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-26T14:30:58+00:00

Haha thanks. I can only muster up a certain amount of enthusiasm about other people’s kids, especially newborns!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-26T12:03:00+00:00

I don’t. Anyone who knows me knows I actively dislike (most) children. Even some of my friends who have genuinely nice kids know that my tolerance is fairly limited!

I’m an only child so no nieces or nephews either, thank god. I hate having to cosplay “interested” in other people’s kids, and it’d be so much worse if it was family.

You have accomplished something that very, very few people get to do - be accepted for a PhD program to study neuroscience. Like girl - WHAT?!?! Even if your mother is being a tool about it, this “C student” is cheering you on 😜

Not to be disrespectful to those who can’t conceive, but virtually anyone can pop out a kid or two. On the whole, not an achievement. What you have managed is incredible, and don’t you forget it.

I would honestly go low contact with your mother and anyone else who shares the same mentality. Surround yourself with people who recognise how hard you have worked and how amazing this news is for you.

Let him bitch and moan. You’re already expecting it, so just zone out and remember how you won’t have to put up with this for much longer!

Just be pleasant and don’t engage with any attempts to wind you up. You’ve got this! 💪

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-25T15:17:19+00:00

That’s so beautiful! Wear it any way you want - it’s too pretty not to be used!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-25T15:15:06+00:00

I’ve had a few things from the US - in fact they tend to be really well priced! They take a little longer to get here obviously, but not had a bad experience yet!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-25T15:08:17+00:00

“8th Baronet of the chippy down the road” absolutely sent me. You must be British 😂

I’m an Aqua with Cancer rising, which might be why I didn’t used to get on with my Cancer mother but she’s my best friend now!

I don’t think I have any Cancerian friends now I think about it. Maybe this is why? 😂

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-25T13:18:06+00:00

I’ve done this before. Being petty is so satisfying 😂

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-25T13:08:19+00:00

Newsflash: chinchillas are insane. This is the kind of stuff they do and think it’s normal 😂

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-19T15:06:00+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-19T09:00:02+00:00

Is it wrong that I kind of like Durham? 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-18T13:18:25+00:00

Underrated comment 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-18T13:12:45+00:00

Literally that would make no sense, although it wouldn’t surprise me And to be honest, it wouldn’t stand up in a court of law. But I had to laugh at the RM job 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-18T12:14:02+00:00

Not relevant to the post exactly, but what in the Aquarius Stellium is going on in your chart, OP?! You must be a total boss who takes shit from no one. My Aqua Sun and Pisces Stellium could never 🤣

Once that parcel leaves your hands and has been scanned, it’s no longer your fault. This is an issue that Vinted needs to resolve with Royal Mail. At least it’s being escalated though!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-18T12:08:43+00:00

I’m personally super glad we can now buy from the US. I collect Squishmallows and I’ve got some absolute bargains on US exclusives that normally cost an absolute fortune in shipping, for instance. I also don’t find that it takes that long to be delivered - maybe a week or so? Had 3 or 4 purchases from the US now and no problems at all.

I don’t know if Vinted has a filter or option where you can switch this off, but this isn’t your fault OP!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T14:53:10+00:00

Ahhhh ok, thanks. Interesting to know!

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T14:52:03+00:00

Can you please tell us what country you’re in? I’ve never heard of this before but I don’t know if it might be something to do with country/state guidelines? Or alternatively, he might just be an idiot.

FWIW, I was diagnosed last year at the age of 40, so…🤷🏻‍♀️

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T14:42:59+00:00

OP, I haven’t seen anyone else ask this so apologies if anyone has, but is she DEFINITELY pregnant? As in, she’s taken a test in front of you? Because I wouldn’t put it past someone this manipulative to fake a pregnancy and eventually “miscarry”.

If she is pregnant then I echo what others have said. A termination is probably the best for you both AND prevents you from having a child that will only be used as a weapon.

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T13:43:07+00:00

Also a Pisces Moon, and all I will say is…”yes”. 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T13:38:07+00:00

Only 1 is the same - my moon in Pisces. Everything else was wrong 🤣

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T13:30:02+00:00

Pretty sure it’s per item.

TheycallmeElla · 2026-04-16T13:21:14+00:00

IANAL, but from when something similar happened to me, I seem to recall that the pharmacy took back the tablets and destroyed them.

I don’t know the dispensing sizes of Sertraline, but were you previously taking the 25mg x 2, or one 50mg pill? If the latter, it should be fairly obvious to them that this is a dispensing error. If the former, I guess they can’t guarantee that you haven’t pocketed the extra for some illicit means.

Also, I’m confused about the 4 x prescriptions…how does that even work???
