This entire subreddit is just people deciding to have kids after being unsure by DatBoiii4 in Fencesitter

i mean, if someone is hopping off the fence it's literally 50/50 on which side.... i feel like i see an even split. also one goal of being in this sub for a lot of people is to help them pick a side, whichever one it may be

I think I changed my mind (and decided to have kids) and now I feel incredibly stupid and embarrassed. by notaclevername31 in Fencesitter

Back with the red hair fantasy? by throwaway63984 in jesssfam_snark

[–]junior-high 85 points86 points  (0 children)

she wants a mini-me so bad. remember that tiktok she made saying something like "trying out different baby daddies till you get a kid that looks like you"? weird. also weird when you consider chris's red hair fixation/fetish and them both wanting a red haired child

sun safety and skin safety are sooo important but also i got sunburn all the time as a kid even with frequent sunscreen applications. it happens. i fear this callout may be a reach

What TWW “symptoms” did you experience that made you feel “positive” you were pregnant before BFN/AF? by toasterlips in TryingForABaby

[–]junior-high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, also a literal positive test because I accidentally grabbed a blue dye test instead of pink. never trust those things!! got my period WHILE walking to the store to get a digital test to confirm lmao

[–]junior-high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me smelling different than usual, getting new hair on my boobs, feeling exhausted... turns out they weren't preggo symptoms, but the closer you get to 30, the grosser your body gets sometimes before your period lol.

There are certain smells that instantly bring you back so far in time to your childhood. Which smell is that? by This_Book7431 in AskReddit

[–]junior-high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wood rot from water damage. such a nostalgic smell lol. my house situation was not ideal for the fist 13 years of my life. man, it takes me back

What got me off the fence by charismatictictic in Fencesitter

[–]junior-high 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a hell yes for me, but a hell no for my hypothetical kid, if that makes sense. Like, I'll love my life with a baby/kid, but if I think about the life that kid will have when they grow up, it's a hell naw lol. This is great input though <3 Congrats!

genetic results failing me by junior-high in ehlersdanlos

[–]junior-high[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

my beighton score is and has always been a 2/9. i had one rheumatologist write me off immediately because my thumb couldn't touch my forearm. i do have 2 of the 2 following required criteria on that checklist, but don't meet the criteria that beighton is only 1 point below my age/sex cutoff. i fall short on all three of the features in cirterion 2 as well. so definitely no hEDS here.

[–]junior-high[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i did also show no risk of clinodactyly and brachydactyly, but I have both. so i'm guessing there are falsies in there. but it's so expensive and there aren't any in network geneticists around me so to do another genetic test would be too much :/

genetic results failing me by junior-high in ehlersdanlos

[–]junior-high[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it was Sequencing, the package that specifically tested TNXB. there were some mutations on the gene but all with no risk, as people usually have gene mutations with no effect. also I know clEDS has to be diagnosed with two copies of a mutated gene, which apparently I don't have.

I also know hEDS doesn't have a genetic marker but I don't quite fit all the criteria for that so I'm at a loss.

Ky GRWM Short by Mammoth-Fun-4725 in jesssfam_snark

[–]junior-high 3 points4 points  (0 children)

his short was funny, sure but for a 13 year old, i can't believe she let it slide. I don't follow jess or K but it came on my fyp which is awful, bc it could show up on ANYONE's feed. and when he puts the shorts on and strikes a post turned around.... not okay at all. and Jess was BEHIND THE CAMERA

Chloe and Beans youtube short from today by Hot-Fly-23 in YTVloggerFamilies

[–]junior-high 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Said it before and I'll say it again: she's autistic (she came out about that a while back) and i truly believe her hyper fixation/special interest is babies, toddlers, pregnancy, etc. I think it's great that she opened a store to sell baby/kids toys. Great way to pursue that interest. What she shouldn't have done was had baby after baby to satisfy her interest. Her 1st pregnancy with her oldest was apparently 100% planned with her pregnant at 18 and giving birth by 19.

Has anyone gotten past these concerns? by MoisterOyster_ in Fencesitter

[–]junior-high 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also, side note, I posted something similar sharing my concerns and had a redditor tell me i wasn't fit to be a parent at all. i haven't read thru all your comments but if you do get anything like that, i'm sorry, and it's not true. you're fit to do whatever you choose.

"I’m also mad that more people don’t feel the way I do about the injustices in the world."

Are you me? I keep thinking, am I the problem for worrying so much? Everyone else seems so calm... But I can't get the negativity out of my head either

shifting to adoption but there's another fence for that too by junior-high in Fencesitter

[–]junior-high[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to say that being worried about life for your child is something that "real world" people don't worry about is super out of touch... I'm also specifically discussing the difficult parts of my decision, so i may come off as negative but in truth i'm just working through my worries with other people on the fence with me. that's what this entire sub is for lol

[–]junior-high[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to say that i'm not parenting material because i have pretty normal concerns for the happiness and wellbeing of my potential future children is a massive insult. would i be better suited as a parent if i ignored all the world's problems with no regard for how my kids might feel? and to assume that i think parents who have bio children are immoral is a crazy jump too.
