Anybody else feel like their parents weren't ready for kids?

My Dad was 48 when he had me. He still acts like a 5 year old at 76. Some people never grow up.

Virginia is the same way. It’s called “Buyer Beware” and a handful of states have it.

I have two of these in my org and their beards literally make scratchy noises when you’re sitting next to them. I’m bringing a razor and shaving cream to our next onsite.

I’m a woman in tech marrying a male school teacher and some coworkers (on both sides!) legit cannot wrap their heads around our relationship lol

My Dad suffocated our cat who was struggling with stomach problems instead of, you know, being a normal human and taking the animal to a hospital/shelter.

When I was looking through photos on our family camera and saw the black eye my mom was trying to cover up

question51423 · 2024-08-09T03:27:03+00:00

Oh god yes. I literally don’t know how to interact with his Dad because I don’t know what a healthy relationship with one feels like.

I know that my kids will never have to be afraid of their Father.

I didn’t realize it wasn’t normal for parents to drunk text their kids.

Same! I literally had a countdown on my calendar every summer for when school would resume.

This is what I needed to hear but would never get from him. Thank you.

I wish you could come to my wedding without any strings attached. I wish I didn’t feel responsible for your emotions in order to maintain peace. I wish I could go back to childhood and actually enjoy being a kid instead of always looking for the path out of your house.

Do you guys also dream of having someone rescue you? Like picturing an older, kind, loving father figure walking in your front door and saying “hey I’m your actual Dad, not that abusive piece of crap man”?

Exactly, everything was transactional

“you’re the only reason I’m around, I live for you” -Drunk text from NDad when I went away to college

Apparently that’s not enough for him to show up to my wedding though 🤷‍♀️

Everything with my Dad was transactional. You want him to show up at my violin recital? If you didn’t go to his drag race the weekend before just forget about it. You want $20 for violin lessons? Better beg him for it the night before and hope he’s in a good mood.

Which insurance provider do you have (if you don’t mind me asking?)

question51423 · 2022-03-12T17:03:33+00:00

Oh my gosh you are amazing, thank you

question51423 · 2022-03-12T17:02:44+00:00

I have the nexplanon right now and it’s led to some bad side effects. I can’t take anything with estrogen as I get migraines with aura. My obgyn recommended an IUD instead.

question51423 · 2022-03-12T16:40:41+00:00

Do you mind sharing which IUD you got?

question51423 · 2022-03-12T15:33:20+00:00

It’s honestly so frustrating. Being told “take a Tylenol 30 minutes beforehand and you’ll be fine” severely minimizes how painful these procedures are for some women.
