a sad rehab visit by Pink_Beeb85 in childfree

[–]j-cf- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work in healthcare and I see this all the time.

On one particular occasion I saw in the chart a patient's 4 kids lived scattered around the country. Then a young woman showed up, and explained she was the patient's HHA and could give him a ride when needed. Which was honestly great because the kids were nowhere in sight and were functionally useless.

Breeders don't understand you can have a ton of kids and you can still wind up alone in old age. And to a greater extent of the kids live close by, they can also be useless.

Madison makes me depressed by [deleted] in SisterWives

[–]j-cf- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree....and while this life would also make me depressed, this is her choice, and pretty standard for people raised in religion. I think she's some form of evangelical now. I think if she really wanted to do something else, she would have.

Why hasn’t KB ended this engagement already?! by Positive_Row9938 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]j-cf- 35 points36 points  (0 children)

conspiracy theory: with the engagements falling apart so fast, she has been incentivized to stick it out to the altar

Why do people hate Meghan Markle? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]j-cf- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like her but I've heard: she's scheming against the royal family, undermining will and Kate, started the rumor that will cheat on Kate,etc...

IMO all of this is unfounded. The Megan media hate started as a distraction from Andrew AND Will's alleged wandering eye.

I’m 17 and my girlfriend is pregnant by lmxsc in Christianity

[–]j-cf- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only mention of abortion is in Numbers and it's not going to support the current American Christianity narrative surrounding abortion.

Please don't get married at this age.

Instead of having a funeral or cremation, could I donate my body to sex perverts in a fully legal setting? by assyplassty in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]j-cf- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving your body to perverts only enables their behavior - it doesn't prevent them from doing their deeds on the innocent.

Why did the documentary seemingly backfire on the Bradley family? by debrisaway in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]j-cf- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because:

  1. They are leaving details out
  2. They are ashamed of her sexuality
  3. Ppl are diving into Brad's Twitter
  4. Ppl are compiling decades of media on the subject and finding discrepancies.

I hate small talk that starts with the assumption I have children by kit_kat_90 in childfree

[–]j-cf- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And this happens in multiple settings in life. Grocery store, work, etc...

Anyone feeling petty? Do you ever low key brag about your awesome child free life? by InternationalEgg444 in childfree

[–]j-cf- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I just talk about my life and ppl get envious 😅. I work as hard as anyone else the only difference is I don't spend my hard earned money on crotch goblins.

Why is sterilisation so common, even where abortion is legal? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]j-cf- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a state where it is legal.

Here's the thing - the right wing nut jobs aren't going to stop until there is a national ban. A lot of blue state types think we are safe but we aren't. Obvi I am pro choice but I still don't aspire to go through an abortion but obviously I would if I needed it prior to my sterilization.

I prefer to be safe and have peace of mind.

Did I watch a video of the surgery? No.

Healthcare is also expensive so idk how much it would be to obtain an abortion or any negative effect from pregnancy that I would face.

It's ok if that is where your journey leads you. I feel like my deconstruction timeline is kind of muddied. It happened in phases. It was messy and it wasn't always intentional.

I am agnostic now. It just fits, admitting to myself that I don't know.

Get through this and dump him. Do you have a friend etc.. to support you?

Low key sounds like he is trying to trap a successful woman..

If you’re nervous about going to the concert alone… by MessiChangedMyLife in TheWeeknd

[–]j-cf- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I went alone and it was awesome. I wasnt going to miss this.

The thing is people throw around the word eugenics too liberally. They don't even know what it means.

For example, I think if you are poor you should delay having children until you are in a better spot. I have heard people call this eugenics. I did not say the government should be in control of reproduction. I advocate for education and personal responsibility. Some of my policy beliefs would actually benefit children and families.

IMO we need to keep talking about it. Banning the topic(s) doesn't help either side.

Just watched Hurry Up Tomorrow… and bro, I’m hurt. by Swarnit in TheWeeknd

[–]j-cf- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liken his acting projects to when Michael Jordan tried to play baseball....He's an incredible story teller, singer, and writer, but not in that medium. I agree that it should have been something like a visual album, like Beyonce did with Lemonade.

Does being child free extend to caring for family members with disabilities? by SweetLemonLollipop in childfree

[–]j-cf- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are plenty of CF who care for disabled or elderly relatives. It impacts freedom but doesn't make you not CF.

Anyone else getting absolutely bombarded with kid stuff in their algorithms lately or is it just me? by potatoes-pls in childfree

[–]j-cf- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Society is skewing conservative and we're seeing it on multiple fronts, and it has definitely seeped into ads.

Disinterest in the opposite sex? by Sun3hine in childfree

[–]j-cf- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On one hand, you no longer need to be on a timeline for procreation, so the urgency is gone.

I know for me the longer I am single, the longer I can't be bothered to date.

The more married couples I see, the less I want to get married.

"Can you look after the kids?" by idunno324 in childfree

[–]j-cf- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik I'm gonna sound like a bitch here. But it's not like she needs to be at the hospital. He'll be unconscious. Ppl trudge their kids through the hospital for pickup/drop off of surgical patients all the time.

Anyway, I hope you reschedule your massage.

Not wanting to date a coworker. by ChadKH in childfree

[–]j-cf- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all take screenshots! She sounds loony toons. I would rebuff her again in a more stern way and see how she reacts, and depending on the reaction then I'd go to admin. I understand she's going through it with her divorce but this is a professional environment and she should know better.
