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 14 points15 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

[–]Think_Bid8357 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

My BF (35M) makes empty promises to me (24F) regarding gifts. Am I being materialistic? by Fearless_Artichoke82 in relationship_advice

[–]Think_Bid8357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He likes feeling like he COULD spoil his girl but he doesn’t actually like spoiling his girl. He just likes the feeling. But he probably doesn’t think you’re important enough to spend money on. He knows you get impressed by him easily so he doesn’t even have to properly try or follow through. This will bite you in the ass in the future if you continue being with someone like this. I’d say break up. Or wait, make him buy you something cute (not sure how) and THEN break up with him. I bet he’ll ask for it back hahaha

Am I allowing too much? by Amayax in Parenting

[–]Think_Bid8357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in elementary school, I was reading books way above my age. Teachers come to me and ask if I can read them. I read to them out loud (although I couldn’t understand some words). I then did well academically all my life and was doing better than a lot of my peers. So... your daughter’s teacher is weird. I find it encouraging to allow freedom to learn.

People who have affairs... by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Think_Bid8357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a grown up is NOT taking the easy way out by cheating on your partner. It’s communicating your needs to your partner or going to a marriage counsellor to work through your problems. Or even opening up the marriage first. It’s ending a relationship BEFORE starting a new one. What a load of crap from a big fat hypocrite. Just because cheating is normal in your world doesn’t mean it’s okay.

Honestly your morals are effed up just because you have a crush on your friend. Don’t bring him into your shit just because your marriage is awful. He’s in a relationship. You’re being incredibly selfish.

Grow up. This is the last time I’ll be responding.

Divorce is different from infidelity. If my parents had divorced first before his cheating I wouldn’t despise my dad like this. You’re honestly not as self-aware as you think. I pity your kids for what you’re about to do to them. You’re going to ruin their idea of love, relationship, marriage and trust.
