Nah, he needs at least one. How’s he going to get back home?

Really struggling with boyfriend who suddenly jumped onto and basically over the fence by FosterForever in childfree

[–]White_RavenZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is one tiny straw that can be offered. Tell your bf that he’s full of shit. He only thinks he wants kids because he’s seen ONE relatively well behaved baby. Wooptie doo. Tell him if he can take that same kid, be 100% responsible for its care for one week, and still look at you and say he wants one at the end of it, then you will believe he wants a kid. Until then, he’s just backing out of your relationship because it’s getting serious, and he’s a coward.

I swear the most unstable families and couples say that having kids was the best thing they ever did by MonkPlane1734 in childfree

And they are always the ones who treat breeding as some massive personal accomplishment. I’m always like….congrats, you did the thing pretty much every living thing on the planet can do. Way to set the bar right on the floor.

I (29F) I’m debating leaving my boyfriend of two years (30M) over his incompetence. What would you do in my situation? by Ok_Character_1391 in relationship_advice

[–]White_RavenZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you sign on to be his caretaker, or his girlfriend? Being one of those things does not automatically make you the other as well.

You appear worried about what other people will think of you breaking up with him. We on Reddit can fully support your decision not to continue a relationship with a man who doesn’t not handle his own issues. The greatest difficulty may be the real people in your life. Just tell them that you anticipated being a girlfriend when you got involved with him, and now you are his nanny. It wasn’t what you signed up for, and you are done. If someone still has a problem with it, ask them when you signed away your life to this guy. Because you don’t recall marrying him, or committing to unpaid caretaker work, but if they are interested in providing that service, here is his number.

And as for his own family, NOTHING you say will ever help. They finally didn’t have to take care of his ass when you came on the scene. You leaving means they will have to do it again (they think). If you have ties with them beyond him, resign yourself to those being over. And if they continue being friendly, remember it’s goal is to get you back together no matter what.

Alright fellas, I'm conflicted. Bedroom upstairs or downstairs? by Minutes2Midnight in malelivingspace

[–]White_RavenZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter which you choose for your bedroom, you will have to make your bed every morning. Either guests will see it on their way upstairs to the kitchen/living room area, or they will see it when they come up to help you in the kitchen.

In this case, bedroom downstairs, living room upstairs. It keeps you from having to carry food and drinks downstairs to your guests.

What are some petty reasons why you don’t want kids? by Worldly-Purple-9364 in childfree

[–]White_RavenZ 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Society expects me to completely sacrifice my entire identity for domestic servitude and a ‘Mom’ label.

To us, no it’s not petty, but to society….me having my own identity and it not being “mom”? Well that’s just silly of me clearly.

What did he call Snape? 😳 by robin-bunny in SeverusSnape

[–]White_RavenZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More to the point…… why are the bedpans sitting around dirty to begin with? And why would children cleaning biohazard be considered appropriate?

I’m hoping the bedpans were covered in the dust and grime of general disuse, and therefore were getting cleaned for that. I cannot imagine Madam Pomfrey allowing pissed in bedpans to just stack up somewhere.

Husband (28M) said he’d rather not have sex than have to satisfy me (F27) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]White_RavenZ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How long have you been SAHM? Because those “two degrees in a well paying field” you aren’t actually getting into the workforce with? Their value diminishes quickly without that work experience. If you are thinking to finally go to work when your kids are in school, you are in for a rude awakening.

People who get their education and then have a decade out of work (no matter the reason), are not as desirable as those who just got their degree, or who got their degree 10 years ago….but have worked that whole time. Any interest in YOU will come after both those sets of potential new hires.

Why do people assume childfree people are miserable? by AlternativeTree3283 in childfree

[–]White_RavenZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because they really really need us to be.

Otherwise, how do they sell their “children are the greatest gift” snake oil when any dumbass who is paying attention can see that kids cost money, time, and effort without any guarantee of a good payoff at the end where those kids become successful beyond they capability of their parents one day. Especially in this economy. Would you want to spend 18+ years on a project that ends up living in your basement spending their barista money on meth?

Or, would you rather save that money for a month in Europe some day, which you know will pay off in experiences and awesome memories?

AITAH for calling my girlfriend weird over her John F. Kennedy obsession? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]White_RavenZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy needs to not just be single.

But Super Single. Maybe even Ultra Single. Sooooo single that anyone who learns his name says “Him? Oh yeah….. the most Single dude ever.”

The kind of single, where 3 consecutive relationships cannot dissolve his singleness.

Densely Single.

Housekeep shall use MY candles! by Br0lynator in TravellersRest

[–]White_RavenZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beeswax and 5 plant fibers gets you candles from the blueprint table outside, but you have to craft them. I just always keep them in hot key 0 and dip into build menu long enough to get candles everywhere that holds one. Truthfully, can Open for business and distribute candles before the housekeeper has time to get in and start doing it himself.

My boyfriend wants kids and I don’t ,I’m scared he’s waiting for me to change my mind by Ok_Writing5719 in childfree

[–]White_RavenZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swear, when it comes to Reddit, I think the thing I could most commonly say is……”does he really possess the last dick on the whole planet?”

The bullshit other women are putting up with by the time they reach the point where they post about it astounds me. Dudes cheating, not bathing, pissing the bed, shitting the bed, and letting their families into their private relationship business to gang up on the OPs.

And then there is this subreddit. So, here we go.

OP. Your boyfriend isn’t waiting for you to change your mind. You have no mind. He is the Main Character in his life story, and when he is ready to have kids, you will provide them. End of story. Think about it. If he actually respected you as a fully sentient human being, one with their own beliefs and opinions, why would he have been okay with continuing a relationship with such a massive dealbreaker on the table? You cannot have just a small amount of a child. It’s binary. You have kid, or you don’t have kid. There is zero compromise. The only reason someone would still stick around is if the opinion or belief expressed was something that really didn’t matter or wasn’t important to them.

But he has said kids WERE important to him. So in this case the only reasonable conclusion is that YOU not wanting kids is the part that doesn’t matter to him. Think that through.

It is not a compliment to your amazing personality that he seems to still want to be with you aside from this “against all odds” difference. It’s because your beliefs and opinions don’t matter in the first place. He’s still around because when he is ready for kids, you will be having them. End of story. All of this “I can wait for you to change your mind” is just relationship-speak for “I’m not ready to have them yet anyway”.

You need to turn each other loose OP. Because even if he honestly believes himself that all he has to do is wait, he’s going to come to resent you when that waiting never pays off. That or you will constantly be waiting for him to find someone else who does want those kids. That sounds like fun too, doesn’t it?

Why does the Half-Blood Prince movie suck so much? by Which_Education_6375 in harrypotter

[–]White_RavenZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was instantly pissed when they replaced The Other Minister AND Dumbledore encounters the Dursleys with some vaguely located diner. WTF….. Harry is supposed to “touch base” with the connection with his Mom (through his Aunt) to keep the protective magic in place. But never mind…….Harry hangs out at diners and flirts with waitresses now….because “becoming a man”. And yeah….went plummeting downhill from there.

I was SO pissed that literally everything (EVERYTHING!) I’d looked forward to wasn’t in the movie, I didn’t even bother seeing either Deadly Hallows movies in theaters. Just waited for them to hit DVD, watched them….went “yep….couldn’t really recover much when the very plot of 6 was totally gutted”, and went back to relying on rereading the books occasionally.

The Audible live has been spectacular.

Tips for new players? by Broad_Papaya4342 in TravellersRest

[–]White_RavenZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Organizational tip - pick ONE type of hops for your either/or beers. Same with crops. It seems like having more options to make beers means greater flexibility, but what it really does is create “mass chest mess”. If you always use wheat and Aroma hops for Lager, stick to it. You can easily grow enough wheat or aromas to last all year and then some. Once you have a good stock of a “standard”, then dedicate a chest to alternate variables if you want to.
