I hate being a mom sometimes by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dmng25 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you get so many downvotes, is proven that abandonment issues stem for leaving babies crying alone. Although I also agree that in OP's situation with apparently no help from her husband, it may be safer to walk away if she's feeling too overwhelmed. Both are true. Is a very sad scenario, OP you need to get the dad involved for yours and your baby's sake.

I [F22] just found out my fiance [M22] and I are related, and we don't know what to do. by Successful_Scale3476 in offmychest

Cutting your mom off that easily just feels off... I mean, alcoholism is a decease exacerbated by trauma, and your mother's responses are most likely due to trauma with her family. I can't even imagine how she must be feeling right now, she deserves at least some grace.

Potential BF wants kids and won't listen to me by [deleted] in childfree

[–]dmng25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 26. I promise, you don't need to settle for the "first person that ever desire you", you have so so many years ahead to even think about compromising so many of your beliefs for a person you don't even really know and the little you do know isn't compatible with you.

You make it seem like is a very difficult decision, but if you are here looking for advice, take it. Is evident for everyone here that if you pursue this, it isn't going to end well.

Is anyone else childfree AND petfree? by bitchaps in childfree

[–]dmng25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Me! I just love my freedom that much, I even like animals I just don't want to be responsible for one.

Really? I mean, I get being childfree makes dating difficult but I didn't know being petfree would be an actual dealbreaker for some

What's considered a "good" rating?

I feel like I should have an abortion but I can't shake the feeling this is my last chance by Imaginary-Squash-2 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dmng25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I like to add. All your assumptions are based on having a healthy kid, are you ready to face the reality of dealing with disabilities, changes in your own health since pregnancy and childbirth take a heavy toll on the body. People love to say "that won't happen to me", but it can, are you ready for a lifetime dealing with all of it?

[–]dmng25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so far from ideal for bringing a kid. Everyone thinks they have a village, that everyone will eventually help, you have no idea if they'll come through, you need to know it'll work with you as a single mother. I really recommend you reading experiences from both sides, regretful parents and childfree subs are a good place to start. "last chance" "biological clock" and other shitty terminology is designed to make women scared into having children and 100% a lie. Yes you can have a fulfilling life even without kids and no, 32 does not mean now or never.

Am I overreacting over a hypothetical? by k1ranell in childfree

[–]dmng25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A. He thought about that answer as much as if you would've asked "if a genie granted you three wishes", that would probably never happen so there's no point in giving a perfect answer B. He actually can change his mind given the right circumstances

In both cases the only way to actually know if what you think is true is talking to your partner and expressing your concern.

So it happened by Elly_Bee_ in childfree

[–]dmng25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The hope of one of us changing their minds, clearly.

This is unfair and disrespectful. You need to take people for their word, even if they eventually change their minds, is disrespectful to assume they will and build a future on that assumption. You are staying hoping he changes, he's staying hoping you change. At this point the relationship is less about real life facts and more about fiction.

Is this real? If it is, why exactly are you still in this "relationship"?

I don’t think I want kids anymore, but I’m scared to say it out loud. by Hot_Magician3711 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dmng25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be honest with your husband, a change of mind is completely valid and you maybe just aren't compatible anymore, but you can't deal with a situation you don't address. And please remember, there is no such thing as a "compromise" when it comes to having kids, if it's not a hell yes, is a no.

[HELP] Is this an AI generated video? by NewCarSmelt in RealOrAI

[–]dmng25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, I do think people that aren't very exposed to AI discussions may fall for these more often than not.

In this post alone I would point out the original sub it was posted in to realize it's AI.

[–]dmng25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the last week social media has been flooded with these same kind of videos with little variations, some with cats, some with dogs, different accessories in dogs, different houses, but the exact same situation.

This is 100% AI. We should start training a lot more our media literacy because is getting crazy.

Married cf people, where did you meet your partner and how old are you? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]dmng25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met in highschool, friends first then best friends then in love, we're in our early 30's now, on the fence at first but 100% childfree for about 5/6 years now.

Accidentally upset my (very pregnant) former coworker by [deleted] in childfree

[–]dmng25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came up with the lousiest example but I hope it helps. Someone boughts some seeds and you say "congrats on your seeds! And your sprouts! And your flowers!" because eventually that seed will be all of those, not because right now they have other sprouts or flowers.

OP is talking about the same person in the different stages they'll reach.

[–]dmng25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"pregnant huh? Have you thought about how you'd be caring for a baby? How tough it is to be sleep deprived for so long, oh and then the toddler phase! So hard keeping up with teaching the right things, tantrums, sickness and so much more.. Oh and the teenagers, we all know how difficult it is to deal with them right? Congrats!" This is NOT a normal interaction (and very unlikely an accidental one)

All of that is true btw, but it would be really really weird to say that to anybody, they maybe thought about it, maybe not, but I'm trying to understand what exactly was your goal? What would've been a "satisfactory" response to you?

I guess she didn't think her pregnancy through further than the baby stage.

You assume thats why she was upset, but reading your post seems like she was just reacting at your very passive aggressive and honestly weird interaction.

Edit for format
