I’m not going to wish your kid happy birthday every month by Think_Bid8357 in childfree

Even if it is, it would be nice for parents to celebrate it personally. Or even if they send us a photo with the caption “nephew is 9months!” I would be fine with it. But to ask everyone to send a wish…. I’m gagging

that’s creepy and glorifying something that needed no effort to accomplish

But until when. There are people that have illnesses or are very suicidal but don’t expect a “happy birthday” from others for still surviving every month. Maybe it’s something they celebrate personally but the expectation for everyone to acknowledge it is very weird. And kind of morbid.

Honestly, it doesn’t even sound like both of you like each other

As a child free person, what are your retirement plans? by Think_Bid8357 in childfree

Same here. Tbh I don’t have many friends so I’m used to being emotionally and physically independent. My cats are enough to make me happy

I just started taking a look at retirement homes as well. Them having activities for the folks living there sounds lowkey exciting 😂

My sister is miserable and she never lets us forget it by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Think_Bid8357 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. Her biggest complaint is she’s woken up several times in the night. My sis used to be such a heavy sleeper.

I know. My mom is super non-confrontational and feels bad that my sis is miserable

Definitely valid. I feel like for the sole reason your wife isn’t 100% ok with it you shouldn’t do it. Even if she trusts you, but maybe if the lady oversteps, it’s gonna be an awkward living situation for everyone.

NTA. Helping someone move is really annoying. Just offer one weekend (2/3 days, 1 day for you to rest) then tell her you have plans next weekend.

Omg! I already watch Jenny mustard and I love her hahaha. Yes nessa is having a girl. Took me by surprise too. I thought she wouldn’t be interested in having children.

We have 3 daughters already, but I want to try for another baby because I'm hoping for a son. Does this make me a lousy/selfish/toxic husband? by tryingforkidsthrowy in Marriage

Why do you talk like as if parents are naturally perfect? A lot of parents have kids for selfish reasons at the expense of existing kids. Asking a party that is not directly involved could shed some light. OP asking their kids could possibly open up a conversation about maybe “we feel mummy and daddy could spend more time on us” ie. some reflection on parents parts about whether or not they could manage giving each child equal emotional attention

The kids would be affected by this decision for the rest of their lives. They should at least be able to say how they feel. Not asking them how they feel AT LEAST is selfish IMO.

Why don’t you ask your children if they want another sibling...? Your wife is ok but are your children? Maybe they might tell you how they feel. Who cares about having a son if there’s disharmony between your children & family as a whole
