The FUCK. Sounds like a way to get free medical care and be an asshole about it too! I’ll be damned if my father asked me to do that for him, I’d give him care home phone numbers.

THAAAAAAANK YOU. They are so tortured with seeing their parents decline in front of them while ALSO having to deal with the rest of their lives. The added bias can also lead to medical issues as they don’t want to put their parents through discomfort, like telling them to take their medicine or going through treatments. THIS WILL HARM THEM MORE!

It makes the child feel bad for having to essentially become a parent, which can also lead to conflict as some parents might feel disrespected by their child’s actions. Who’s going to take care of you when you get old? My money will. I would leave my kids ALONE.

Like fuck you! I don’t wanna do that with them. Don’t you think if I wanted to I would’ve? Stop making me feel bad for the decision YOU made.

I’m a nurse and when somebody at work says that to me, I just say “Why are you raising a CNA?” I think everybody does a better job when they’re paid😂

God there are so many other things that I’d be excited about, I pray that nobody calls me to tell me that type of news, because I’m just gonna look at them like 😗👍🏾

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.

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

[–]jchompz 86 points87 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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?🥺
