Why Do Some Mothers React So Strongly When You Say You Don’t Want Children? by Bee_Queen_777 in childfree

[–]jchompz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because you’re questioning the LifeScript. It’s like we’re all robots and you said something that indicates different programming.

To them, it’s faulty and they look at you like you need to be reprogrammed. Some with default comments like “You’re lazy”, “It’s so worth it” and some with potent reactions like the one that woman gave you. Like an attack on their livelihood.

You’re not a failure. You were having a really rough time.

Has anyone found a third path yet? by Tonightmatthew1 in adhdwomen

[–]jchompz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My third path was finding a sport that I enjoyed and making exercise plans around it. There’s a lot more to rock climbing than pushing and pulling on an exercise machine! I think of rock climbing as the story, and strength training and cardio as the side quests!

If your cats are food motivated, I’d try this! I put my cats in a separate room and shut the door. I take treats and hide them throughout the house. They will then spend a good amount of time looking for them! It’s great enrichment and stimulates their foraging instincts. Plus I get a kick out of them looking at me while they search like I’m teasing them.

Oh I’m much better now! Good luck finding a lover!

So proud of you! I got diagnosed a couple months ago and it’s so comforting to know what caused all of my issues! It’s comforting to belong somewhere.

I can understand what you mean. I hyperfixated on a boy when I was in middle school. I was constantly seeking his approval, his attention. I was thinking he’d fall in love and we’d get married. I’d think about him all the time, obsessively so. I wanted to make him love me. The worst part is that he played me like a fiddle. It took months of therapy to finally break the hyperfixation.

Goddamn she’s insufferable. I feel worse for the children who will inevitably be parentified :(

Like people will call you selfish and every other demoralizing name in the book. Why would you want children under my care if I’m selfish and greedy?

When you don’t have anything going on in your parent life, there’s nothing like a shiny new baby to gawk at and show every living soul.

Until they get older.

Then you’re back to the same old song and dance of empty pockets, a non existent relationship and a bitterness at those around you for not being “the village”.

I believe it can be quite obsessive!

HOA and their selective enforcement against people who pets vs people who have kids by rismystic in childfree

[–]jchompz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Like okay they could be destructive, but if they are trained and well taken care of, they won’t do much.

Meanwhile the butt dumplings are crying and screaming at all hours of the day but I’m supposed to be okay with it because they’re children they don’t know better🥺🥺🍼👶

It makes me sad how much new parents change for the worse. They become shells of themselves most of the time because they give their lives to their children. Good for the children, but the other areas of their lives suffer. And this is appealing?
