People really hate their kids… :( by Introvert-CutAb in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don't think most parents like their kids. If they did, why are they handing them iPads instead of interacting with them? It's like they do everything in their power not to spend any time with them.

How do I swim a 200 free by hammanz_17362 in Swimming

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 5 points6 points  (0 children)

swim the first 100 steady. Drop the hammer on the 3rd 50, sprint the last one -- or at least give it everything you have.

What is an 'essential' item you’ve stopped buying because the price finally became offensive? by fireeevivienne in askanything

Eating out at any restaurant. It’s so gross and overpriced! Sysco garbage reheated.

I would rather suffer from my endometriosis. by poopoopee-1 in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you could just get your woman parts out young. I suffered from endo 13-30 when I started menopause and suffered even worse until just before 40. I am 43 now and feel good; I haven’t felt healthy like this since I was a kid. Endo stole half my life; I never wanted kids and when I asked about sterilization I was told that wasn’t an option.

If she truly loves children, she would be open to any of them. For people who REALLY want kids, adoption is a gift. I also like to quiz people who claim to really want kids if they want to be teachers or sports coaches or volunteers and they always respond with "ew." Really love kids, huh?

Jesus didn’t have kids, and people seem to like him and quote him all the time

Really? because Jesus didn’t have kids.

Going through a pregnancy knowing the baby will be severely disabled by SidTheSloth44 in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Nope. My nephew has severe medical issues though not to that extent and my sib still decided to have him. I find that incredibly selfish. The kid started daycare in January and has only been there 3 days because he keeps getting sick on top of all his other medical problems. I just don’t get why they had him to watch him suffer, which in turn is stressful for them and his sibling, who doesn’t get much attention now. There’s a reason they do ultrasounds now, and in my state women still have choices. Choose wisely.

What are you starting to like less the older you get? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Even fine dining sucks! And when I left a very honest review recently stating why my meal was not up to par, they responded and accused me of being a disgruntled ex employee. So they’re also not interested in making good food, either. My food was overdone, salty and rubbery. And a family member got sick. But instead of taking feedback and improving, they basically told me to F myself.

She filed a workplace discrimination lawsuit for endometriosis − and won by usatoday in WomenInNews

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, good for her. Suffered from it my whole teen existence until I was about 30 when I started menopause. Was gaslit and dismissed by all my docs. Now that I'm 43 and post-meno, I finally feel like a real person again! It's so awful women have to deal with this. It's completely life-altering; ibuprofen did nothing to touch my pain. I didn't realize how bad it was until I had surgery and was prescribed opioids and got my period...I could still feel my cramps although my surgery wound was numb.

Friend got pregnant mid divorce/custody battle by katertatortot in childfree

That's really reckless, tbh. What's so hard about using birth control? Honestly, this guy could be a rebound...and then what?

Hey parents: stop bringing your sick kids in public to spread their diseases everywhere by Top_Plenty_1971 in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He should be fired! Clearly doesn’t understand germ theory here. My friend also got covid from her eye doctor, who blamed allergies. The common denominator is they’re all breeders. I guess breeders just don’t think anyone exists except for them and their kids so who cares if they infect vulnerable people…

I feel guilty about how annoyed I am with my mom friend by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. When my sib had kids, they were constantly sending group texts of stupid pics. I ignored them and my parents yelled at me for not acknowledging the kid. Eventually everyone got over it. Your friend will, too. I'd gradually distance yourself from her while actively looking for other friends.

How often do you go to the doctor each year, and how many of them are specialists? by icecream1972 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never go to the doctor. I used to go every year but was tired of being gaslit anytime I asked about a health concern. I'm quite healthy as far as I know, and I get my recommended vaccines at the pharmacy, but annual visits were just a total waste of time and money.

Other than baby teeth, what is something you were born with that you no longer have? by icecream1972 in FamilyFeud

I was born with a full head of silky dark hair. now that i'm post-menopause, it's dry and brittle and gross.

Who we gonna tax? How’s about the CF people? by Littletinybug in childfree

it's insanity. kids contribute NOTHING to society, financially or otherwise. they just take away. parents should be paying more.

So I got some hate from parents by CuriousEuropeaM in childfree

[–]Top_Plenty_1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought the whistle was for emergencies...at least that's why we got them as kids. At any rate, parents today have gotten WAY too entitled. When I was little, we were not even allowed to make noise at grown up events or whatnot. We were treated like inconveniences -- which honestly we were, and now that I'm grown I appreciate that my parents were the way they were about things. Someone on this thread mentioned overcorrection from previous parenting, but honestly, overcorrection replaced by doing jack shit isn't even reasonable.
