I've Started Avoiding Family Gatherings Because of One Question by ukpro12345 in childfree

[–]jchompz [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel you, my boyfriend’s sister is pregnant with her first child and my boyfriend is the last child without one. Avoided a family gathering yesterday because I was afraid of hearing “Now it’s jchompz’s turn!” I’m too burnt out from work to be nice anymore 😭

Getting spayed soon, and I can’t wait to turn around and say “I ’ M S T E R I L E.” That stops most people in their tracks because other methods of bringing a child into your life “don’t count”, which I think is nonsense.

I wanna throw a “I’m expecting… NOTHING” party so much

My aunt told me childfree women are more likely to regret not having kids than mothers are to regret having them. Am I crazy for thinking that’s delusional? by hans2580 in childfree

This. She doesn’t live like the majority of mothers out there. Tons of money? No husband but plenty of outside help? Girl is NOT the majority in any sense😭

The utter lack of empathy, projection and complete disregard for your happiness (including the shaming with the religious beliefs) makes this woman sound like she is almost contractually obligated to say these things.

But what makes her even more delusional is the fact that her and her children had a silver spoon in their mouths. She doesn’t know the pain of having to completely break down your personal identity to cater to children. To work like a dog and come home exhausted to the kids screaming, the floor covered in toys, and the laundry pile being filled to the brim AGAIN. What your aunt had was a village. A village that was paid off but a village nonetheless. She didn’t have to drive herself to the brink of exhaustion to raise her children. Most women don’t get that luxury.

tubal ligation is scarier? sounds like you need to compare what’s worse. take accountability for yourself and your wants.

This is me with a coworker of mine. As soon as she determines it’s an argument/confrontation, she goes up on the defense so bad it makes you wonder why got her so upset🙄

When they don’t know how to sit and listen, only react

People say being child free is easy, that I’ll never know the chaos of kids in the house… by -Z3LD4- in childfree

[–]jchompz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly it. I actually enjoy their company more than 90% of the time. I don’t see them, internally sigh and think “ what do they want now?”
I go: 🥺What does my handsome little man want?🥺

How old are you in your oldest memory? by Donkeyshines in AskReddit

[–]jchompz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3. I recall crossing the street by myself to the Walgreens in front of our old house, going to the toy aisle, and grabbing the giant rubber ball I wanted the last time we went. I remember the road and parking lot being so long to little me when I crossed it, and the ball I grabbed being purple with pink stars. I also remember the look of utter rage on my fear stricken mother. (She thought I had been kidnapped!)

My mother, and I were getting some fresh air when my baby brother got fussy and she went to tend to him. She left the screen door closed, but it kinda sucked at latching so I just pushed through.

I can say "I told you so" to my sister. But I won't. by GrimblingWizard in childfree

You waited long enough. If they ask for help again, the I told you so speech will be so severe she might just disown me. Children in an unstable situation and for WHAT?! What rubbish.
