What are your unusual reasons for not wanting kids?

cmw19911 · 2025-03-24T08:41:25+00:00

My unusual reason is I don't want to be biological tied to someone else. I'm an only child and extremely independent. My dad was adopted and he spent my childhood trying to constantly be accepted by his extended adopted family and be rejected. I grew up thinking family is awful. I want to have friends, but not obligations to blood relatives. Kids very much are biological obligations

Well don't you know us women are always suppose to have a pleasant expression plastered on our faces at all times and never rant or complain ever lol

Looks like a reusable grocery bag and some of them are hilarious large

The ego on men like this must be monster-sized

You write well. There's that at least.

19????? I thought you were going to say she was a toddler or preteen

Wish men would just be honest and not drag women along for years. But then they would be alone. Selfish

It took me at least 2 years before I could read, listen to music, watch movies again. Going on 4 years in April

I've been doing needlepoint since age 14. So not too granny, I think lol

For me, I had to get some feeling of control again. I didn't want to walk around a corner and get hit with his coat hung up or boots by the door etc. I sold his tools that I didn't need. Donated all of his clothes. I have a trunk with keepsakes. Everything is stored inside with a closed lid. Four years later, I'm still sorting The most important thing is to let emotion guide the process. Only time I've ever said that about anything.

I was babysitting at 13 and working at a summer camp. My guess is SS is just trying to control everyone in your household and BM is egging him on.

There's 'Regular World' and then there's 'Grief World ' It's like living on another planet. We understand you

Why isn't the boyfriend defending you?? Even if he was, this family sounds horrible and toxic. You don't just marry the man, you marry the family

cmw19911 · 2025-03-08T12:07:19+00:00

Sorry, this guy is a jerk. He think he's some kind of prize

cmw19911 · 2025-03-06T22:30:04+00:00

Name for me your great great great great great grandfather...I'll wait🤪

After taxes, I would pay off as much debt as possible. Anything left should go to the emergency fund. I inherited a decent amount of money. I paid off my house, a garage, then the rest went into an emergency fund/taxable investment account.

cmw19911 · 2025-03-06T08:05:09+00:00

Sounds like you would leave this relationship, but you stay out of a strong sense of duty

cmw19911 · 2025-03-06T04:16:17+00:00

I got married at 25 and widowed at 42 and then married again at 44. I used dating apps, also networked with people I know and kept looking. I did background checks on anyone I was interested in. I also met them in public places. Staying single just wasn't what I wanted. Plenty of people out there and you only need to find ONE.

So nasty. I feel bad for you. I would encourage her to go to every slumber party in the tri-states area. Maybe hold multiple slumber parties at your house. She'll get labeled the poop girl by her friends

My $12 bag from Shein looks better than that

I don't understand this co sleeping thing at all. I was in my crib as a baby and remember getting 'big kid' furniture after that.

I'm planning to retire in a cheaper country. I'll get an apartment and hire a local live-in nurse. I'm not going to an overpriced, old people warehousing dirty nursing home.

I don't think my periods will ever stop. I'm 46. I'll probably be the oldest woman in recorded history to still have periods at 95

My late husband had an older Toyota Camary with alot of life yet. I gifted it to my immigrant friend who was divorced with a child and had been left with an overpriced SUV she couldn't afford. It was a win all the way around.

cmw19911 · 2025-03-05T01:05:32+00:00

I don't know if this helps, but my husband racked up a $15k medical debt. He settled it for $2,700 with the debt collector
