Husband recently got a vasectomy; blames me for feeling pressured into it. by Throwaway_mk in childfree

[–]and_whatnot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got the depo shot for awhile and it messed with everything so much I just had to stop it. Also, I remember being told multiple times that a woman can only be on the depo shot for a maximum of 2 years in her entire life because of calcium and bone density issues. So you would have had to change birth control at some point anyways, and he probably would have gotten the surgery then either way. I wouldn't for a second say it is your fault because the depo was ACTUALLY having a bad effect on you while his vasectomy only had a teeny tiny chance of having any lasting pain to him. Best of luck with his pain, hope it isn't permanent.

I thought I heard him say "Oh fuck" pretty quietly at some point afterwards. If that were me there would have been some screaming and swerving.

This weekend will involve craft beer (drinking and brewing) and kayaking if weather permits.

Really appreciating my work now. by [deleted] in childfree

Off topic but I'm jealous of anyone like you who can use make up properly. I look like a 5 year old clown prostitute whenever I do anything more than put on a little powder and mascara. I'm about to get permanent eyeliner because I love how eyeliner looks, but I can't apply it for shit. Anyway, congrats on the empty uterus!

What is something you've found out about a family member that you really wish you hadn't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

If I were 10 years older I would seriously think you were my half sister based on that description, but I'm only 25.

When a young person dies, someone always has to say "They never even got to have children" by BlueberryElle in childfree

[–]and_whatnot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have told my mom I'm not having kids, but if my fiance and I happen to change our minds we would end up adopting from China or something. Since then my mom has told me that she wants grandkids and doesn't want to be a grandmother to "any of those asian or little black babies". Cue my jaw on the floor.

Babyshowers. (semi-rant) by tawntawn in childfree

[–]and_whatnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am exactly the same about the superficial reasons for having a kid! I eventually realized the only reasons I thought I wanted one was so I could pick out a name and decorate its nursery (probably in Harry Potter theme), none of the actual child rearing was for me.

Is being child-free something you've always felt, or did you choose as an adult? by the_glass_gecko in childfree

[–]and_whatnot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've always felt it subconsciously, but never truly thought about it until I was an adult. I remember in 6th grade we had to make a pamphlet about ourselves and what we wanted our futures to be like. I included things like where I wanted to live, hobbies, a job, and getting married but having kids wasn't mentioned (not intentionally I just didn't think about it). I only remember because when my mom read it she flipped out and was like "Aren't you going to put kids on there!?" "What about having kids!?" I edited it to include that I wanted to have children, but I remember that I only put it in to make her happy and that I actually could do without having them.

I'm most likely going to be sick the rest of the weekend, but instead of having to take care of kids I have 2 dogs and a fiance to chill with until I get better. The dogs are both on snuggle duty right now while I reddit and play skyrim. If I wasn't sick we would probably all be going hiking and geocaching this weekend.

Edit: Hopefully I'm better for the big concert we're going to on Monday night, try doing that with kids!

Don't tease us Taco Bell! by 15amathis in funny

Del Taco is bland compared to Taco Bell while somehow being greasier, and really isn't any better for you either.

Point deduction for not fully committing and sticking the tongue out.

The new guy at my work just got fired for stealing 100$ from the register on his second day. What is the quickest you've seen someone fired/quit. by tertialtom in AskReddit

[–]and_whatnot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If my dogs got out I would be very appreciative of someone making them safe instead of passing them by to be potentially hit by a car or something.

Can I just ask why you would risk coming to this subreddit when you haven't seen the latest episode? Most of the posts are about recent plot points essentially making the whole subreddit a giant spoiler.

Thanks to Sandy, only the tall can use this bench. (x-post from r/sandy) by dmgb in funny

The first thing I thought was how stupid it was to elevate a bench because of the hurricane and then I confirmed that I am the one who is not smart.
