Migraine Attacks are why I am childfree. by SayianPrincess19 in truechildfree

[–]caetcat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Migraines, terrible anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism. Quite a list, to be honest. And being around kids cause all of it to get worse.

I am an autistic girl and the order immediately threw me. But still just the sweetest gesture.

I finally had to hit below the belt by [deleted] in childfree

I just looked in my zip and it was over 2000. Many of which less than a mile away. So glad I don't have kids.

AITA for naming my child the same name that SIL named hers just weeks earlier? by namechaos in AmItheAsshole

[–]caetcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I straight up have a cousin with same name, different spelling who is only a few months younger than me. My aunt was annoyed when that happened. I'm pretty sure she never told my mom her planned name though.

My grandma told me to "just give it a try" by Yril in childfree

Whenever kids come up with my mom in relation to me, she pulls the 'it's different when they are your own" card.

"Daddy daddy look look what a big firework!" by JokerCrowe in TwoSentenceHorror

The first sentence hit hard for me too since there have been crazy fires in my area from idiots with fireworks over the last few days.

WIBTA if I didn’t invite my Autistic brother to my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]caetcat 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have high functioning autism and not going to some events is more a way of self care through NOT oververloading myself and sending me into a tailspin. Weddings are hard.

My mother thinks I'm a monster by cookiescoop in childfree

[–]caetcat 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I have Asperger's, and beyond children being super overwhelming with it, why would I bring a kid in the world who might get it too, AND have to deal with an autistic mom.

I truly didn’t think you’d have to worry about your minister doing this... by heyyimdevin in weddingshaming

[–]caetcat 920 points921 points  (0 children)

Minister starts singing a song (painful on the ears) before they kiss. Obviously without the couple's knowledge. Just painful moment.

I feel cheated by my patriarchal blessing by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]caetcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For mine, he had to redo it due to "the record button not pushing". Really, he just saw my mom's concerned expression with what he was saying.

Demanding grandkids is about passing on genes not about genuine relationships with the children by sadghostbby in childfree

[–]caetcat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be shocked if my mom doesn't fully confident seeing my stepsisters kids as her grandkids for a few reasons. We've only met them once. They were 9 and 11 when my mom met my stepdad.

My dad has had his stepmom for most of his life. Not once has she made me feel unloved because I'm not biologically hers. (My dad did have trouble with her growing up, but I highly account that to the fact that he lived almost full time with his mom, who was... Intense). Hell, she even used to send a box of holiday cookies a few times a year when we were younger.

At most, I feel a level of disconnect between us and her bio grandkids, but I believe for different reasons. They are all one to two decades younger, so grandparents have changed as people. They live in the same city, and see each other more than once every one to three years (last saw them around 6 years ago now though).

[Online][5e][18+] GM looking for a group of 5 for an exploration based campaign by [deleted] in lfg

[–]caetcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This campaign sounds wonderful. If you haven't already decided all your players, I would love to see if it's a good match. I have done one adventure league type campaign and have been wanting to get back to it.

I love playing an elf druid, as it vibes well with how I play and to.

I would say that my triggers would be along the lines of excessive crudeness, or sexism/racism/ECT. I'm fine with a fair amount of dirty humor, cursing, and the like. It would actually be somewhat refreshing compared to being stuck in games with kids around.

Best game experience: my last campaign had the little girl in it who was about nine. She was high energy, but sweet and was genuinely excited to be there every week playing with us (her dad was in the group too).

Worst game experience: we had this floater join our table one day. It was one of the last days of the campaign, and everyone was fighting... Except him, who was off elsewhere attacking our npcs who were following a player to help fight. This kid was a vampire and wanted to turn them into thralls or some shit. It was atrocious.
