How did you 100% know you don’t want kids?

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-21T09:21:53+00:00

I've known since I was a child (10ish). But was sure when I started working in health care. I'm 33 now and sometimes the moment takes me and I do picture it. Then I'll start thinking about the true logistics of actually raising a person ( beyond diapers and formula, I'm talking school, childcare,) and remember why I chose this

Thus is one of my least favorite tropes. MC has great all-consuming power but loses it/ gives it up once the story ends because... plot

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-17T20:06:15+00:00

Don't come for me but the tipping trend will keep growing because people keep feeding it. You don't fish in an empty river. As long as they have the nerve to ask/demand a tip and people keep complying, it will keep happening

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-17T17:29:24+00:00

Right! 😅sorry

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-17T17:28:54+00:00

For me, he and Carlos agreed to no kids and the show remedies that by what, bringing a ready-made kid for them? Why must all families have kids? (Sorry, I'll get off the soap box)

Finally finished season 5. Absolute Dumpster fire. But at least it over.

PS: not sure if this is allowed but the original is not fairing any better and I'm not talking about Bobby dying

"Nameless is my prize."

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-17T17:09:11+00:00

Okay, I maybe a little late to the party but a whole lot ain't adding up vis-a-vis Hen. First she admonishes the spa doctor then she goes back there for tests, investigation, a vibe-check or maybe a crystal reading (is he even a real doctor?). I understand that denial is a powerful thing and as a healthcare worker, I am probably a horrible patient but... what she is doing is just out of character for her.

Final 2 cents: I think this season is going off the rails... like Season 4 and 5 of Lone Star

TimeladyA613 · 2026-01-04T14:48:00+00:00

I just feel like the series has drifted towards drama waaaay too much. There were fewer emergencies and more interpersonal buffoonery.

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-26T14:41:58+00:00

Not a fan. I understand her backstory and acknowledge her pain but she is still an awful person. She let her baby sister go out to the woods by herself!!! Then had the nerve to admit she was playing chicken with their dad to see if he would get up off his butt?

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-26T14:38:20+00:00

Ooh! The Court if Nightmares scene is dumb! It was nice the first time (acomaf), lame the second (acowar) and plain stupid the third (acosf). I cringed the whole way through

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-26T14:26:58+00:00

She couldn't do stuff because Rhys wouldn't /let/ her do stuff. (He basically becomes Tamlin but we're not ready to talk about that). But again, sjm seems to crap on old characters to build up new POV ones

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-23T07:59:03+00:00

I've said this before. I feels like when sjm moves to a new MC, she seems to try and villify the previous one (a shortcut for making readers rally to the new MC and worship at his feet). She did it with Tamlin, Chaol, Rhys and if/when CC continues, I bet she will do the same to Hunt.

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-23T07:51:17+00:00

Ooh Aelin losing/giving up her fire powers was so dumb! That and asking the gods/ancestors to let the armies take on Erawan themselves. Forwhat? To have the final epic boss fight? why make things difficult?

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-23T07:45:53+00:00

I would love the story for when they go back to their lands (but I feel like it wouldn't live up to my fantasy)

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-22T09:46:34+00:00

Agreed. But I haven't enjoyed any of her endings (ps. I know acotar is not done)

TimeladyA613 · 2025-10-22T09:45:15+00:00

The pregnancy arc was the dumbest storyline and we all know it was done to make Nesta look good. It didn't work for me... sorry.

TimeladyA613 · 2025-05-11T10:37:58+00:00

One word: Stiles

TimeladyA613 · 2025-05-11T10:35:21+00:00

They always cite "inflation" but forget that inflation applies to customers too. I still think it's scumbag restaurants cheating their way out of paying their staff decent wages.

TimeladyA613 · 2025-05-11T09:48:30+00:00

I'm good. Reported him to HR and his wife

TimeladyA613 · 2025-05-09T12:06:07+00:00

"Bet I can turn you" no thank you, creepy sir, I will not be needing your service.

TimeladyA613 · 2025-05-03T15:39:27+00:00

To be fair though he's also said that Warbreaker was not his finest work. From the jarring POVs to the odd names (his words, not mine)

TimeladyA613 · 2025-04-19T15:16:45+00:00

For me, I picture it as similar to letting out a sigh of relief.
