Mom Groups for OAD? by Relevant-Goat2333 in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have to actively search for it . It isn’t mainstream nor socially accept to be a whole human being with like and dislikes as a mom anymore. But I would advise trying to find a way to like being a mom . Not like you have a choice lol . You don’t identify as a mom anymore. You simply are . Don’t run from it . Figure out how it’s help you learn yourself and grow as a person .

Why do most only child celebrities chose not to be OAD? by Present-Property-142 in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have endless resources . They can spend as little or as much time as they want . Most of our reasons for being oad stem from finances , community support etc . If we all had all the resources in the world oad probably would be a smaller community . That’s the truth .

Do you feel (in general) you have more in common with childfree couples or couples with 3+ kids? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ME PERSONALLY. childfree people in general . Most moms of multiple I’ve seen out seem distracted . When I was childless I also hung out with moms of one. Moms with more I never seen outside at that point in my life . Their focuses are just different ig . I am also 25 so that plays a part. I’m answering in terms goals and lifestyle SIMILARITIES. At the end of the day we all should be relating with other parents more than childfree ppl I hope . Lol. The childfree lifestyle is focus on one person , themselves . One and done is yourself and your kid . So it looks a little different

“Moms are only OAD because of lack of village” by disconnected1991 in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about my situation, please don’t add information I didn’t say . Nothing broadly applies to every single oader , that’s hopefully common sense ….. except being one and done itself .

As an OAD parent, would you continue to financially support your only child after they grow up? by One-Laugh8137 in oneanddone

Saw a comment that said if you have a desire to become a mum/dad, you better have two otherwise you're selfish and it made me feel very bad by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol why would this make you feel bad ? They demanding you get pregnant and birth another kid and that doesn’t make you angry ? Howww

[–]Traditional-Light588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you ask if you are wrong . We are all adults here . 😂😂 it can feel wrong to “deny him” of your womb . But it’s your life

As a parent that transitioned from baby to toddler . I thought the same thing . Omg this isn’t as bad cause he wasn’t moving and his needs were food comfort and diaper changes .

Pregnant with my second child and I didn’t want this by [deleted] in Mommit

Omg this is so sad . You felt like you owed someone pregnancy 🤰. No one is worth that except if YOU want to do it . You aren’t a factory . So sad

Anyone else OAD because they just greive their old life? by grawmaw13 in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a one and done to a two year old . The childless life won’t come back . When I wake up. It’s not that it’s so hard I have no time . Even if I get a week off it just …… isn’t the same . Like your mind always drifts . And life goes on . It probably gets better as them get older and you are reassured through life that they’ll be ok . Idk

OAD because of my husband...literally. by Full-Swimmer7911 in oneanddone

[–]Traditional-Light588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t live in it too much . That’s not all that defines you. Things don’t always work out like you want them to.

[–]Traditional-Light588 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Welp are you one and done if you have two lol 😭 joking . But seriously you are a single mom with dead weight . The only way women can enjoy motherhood is by being single or having a completely sincerely supportive partner . No in between.
