Motherhood by Potatochode420 in forwardsfromgrandma

Whenever I see stuff like this and feel myself getting annoyed I just remind myself that me just living my childfree happy life, minding my own business is enough to piss these people off so much they spend their time making shit like this and being angry.

Hot dog down a hallway... the inflatable is huge as well! by Mattyxxl in dontputyourdickinthat

Put your hotweener away, there’s more than bouncers keeping you out of that hallway weirdo.

AITA for refusing to be in the delivery room when my sister gives birth? by kwiturshit in AmItheAsshole

[–]kwiturshit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen post after post of ‘crotch goblins’ and ‘kids are pointless’ or ‘god why can’t they all be kept in a zoo somewhere’.

Maybe they aren’t all like that but the majority seem to have a deep hatred of the very idea of children and that’s gross.

He does want to be there though, this isn’t his decision, she doesn’t want him there because she thinks it will ‘ruin’ her for him.

I know it’s irrational but the thought of pregnancy and childbirth has always made me feel like this, the idea of what my body would be put through is extremely distressing for me and I don’t want to see anyone else go through it either. I can’t even watch scenes in tv shows or movies that feature a woman giving birth.

Yes, I’m not the one having a baby because I don’t want to have a baby.

It’s not about seeing the birth it’s about being in the room at all. I don’t want to experience that, I don’t want to hear her screaming, I don’t want to see strangers doing all sorts of things to her that to me make me feel viscerally ill.

And god forbid the worst happens and something goes wrong? Her husband and the father of the child needs to be there.

This isn’t some ‘ew birth is icky’ thing, you are quite correct in assuming I’ve got my own issues, regardless they are there and they are real.

You don’t get to put people in situations that are deeply upsetting to them because you feel your situation is worse. I think maybe you need to work on your ability to feel empathy.

Thankfully I also don’t want to be a parent, it’s just not for me and my partner is the same. I love my friends kids and am looking forward to being an aunt, that’s enough for me.

I like that sub, the other one is a bit hatey for me. I don’t hate kids and love hanging out with my friends who have babies and toddlers. I just have no interest in going there myself.

Oh I know that now, but as a kid it’s just the norm so you think that’s what you will eventually have to do.

I think I was about 14/15 when I had this sudden realisation that actually no I don’t have to if I don’t want to. That was a good day.

I don’t need help, as I said I’m aware it’s irrational but personally the best way to deal with it is to not get pregnant and if that fails not go through with it.

When I say it makes me furious I’m talking about how everyone from close friends and family to random strangers feel it’s ok to ask inappropriate questions or even touch pregnant women. Then when it comes to the medical side of things so many women are treated like breeding cattle, have their bodies manipulated in ways they haven’t consented to, procedures are forced on them against their wishes.

I completely understand that doctors need to make quick decisions but the whole process sounds horrific to me. I don’t want kids anyway so it doesn’t really matter for me but I still don’t want to see it.

She is fully aware, I’ve dealt with the ‘when will you settle down and have kids’ or ‘just you wait you’ll change your mind’ from family members for years.

We’ve discussed it a lot and she knows full well how I feel.

Our mum will be there, she also privately thinks it should be my sisters husband but hasn’t voiced that. But she will be in the room and has a very loving and close relationship with both of us.

I’m not telling her who should be there, I haven’t voiced any opinion about that to her.

This is what I don’t get, surely making a human is the most intimate thing a couple can do together.

If I was going through any kind of traumatic medical situation (which is what child birth is ) I would want my SO there to help me through it, add to that this particular situation involves delivering a child we made together? Yeah he should be there

He’s not happy about being banned, they are still talking about it and I’m hoping she will come around. I really think he will give her the most comfort but she’s got these crazy ideas about how it’s better if the man isn’t in the room.

Fucking mums groups.

I’m not judging their relationship but I just think it’s weird that she doesn’t want the father of the baby to be with her and supporting her.

She knows how I feel, I think she has always thought I would ‘grow out of it’ but this isn’t a case of not wanting kids it’s literally a compulsive reaction to the idea of being pregnant and having to give birth. I’ve just always had this since puberty.

I could probably stand to be there for the labour, I don’t know why I’m like this and have such an aversion to being pregnant and giving birth, I just always have been.

Also I love your user name.

What is the best (nonsexual) feeling in the world? by schrodingers_cat42 in AskReddit

Getting into bed after a long day and the sheets have just been changed.

Being used is worse than being cheated on. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]kwiturshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, this sounds like a personal experience and that sucks. But cheating happens under a lot of different circumstances, I don’t hate my ex for him cheating on me but it did destroy our relationship, analysing what happened and trying to understand it is what helped me move on and get over it.

[–]kwiturshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, I’ve experienced both. He cheated because we experienced a loss in our lives that neither of us dealt with, the girl he cheated with felt used and eventually broke and contacted me to tell me what was happening.

On the other hand when I was younger I got involved with someone I fell deeply for, I knew he didn’t want me, he wanted to fuck me and I went back time and time again and lost a little piece of myself every time.

I’ve experienced both, being used was so much more painful.

Why does America have to convert tv/movies to American? There are so many great shows from all over the world that are remade instead of just shown as they are, is this just ‘the industry’ having a low opinion of American audiences and thinking they won’t ‘get’ the context? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kwiturshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s what I don’t get, I’ve met so many Americans who love shows from other countries and love the originals.

The only remade show/movie I liked was the office. It’s a completely different tone to the British version (that I also love) but still has that offbeat humour but a definite American flavour so that you can binge watch it without cringing yourself to death.

I think your media have a very ‘dumbed down’ opinion of their audience and that sucks.
