[dp] as someone that never felt this so-called "biological clock" and sees kids on a daily basis....
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
I feel like 9/10 times people want kids to validate their existence
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
which is fucking gross honestly
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
a child doesnt exist to make you feel better about yourself
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
and people tend to have more kids the shittier the social situation
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
that in and of itself makes me feel more strongly in my theory that thats why people have kids
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
also I cannot for the life of me see the appeal of working with kids all day THEN GOING HOME TO YOUR OWN
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
why would anyone do this
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
a NP I worked with literally said "you mourn the loss of yourself"
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
also if one more pediatrician tells me "youll get better at this when you have kids" im gonna scream
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
no one EVER says shit like that to guy obgyns
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
its the most misogynistic garbage I have ever heard
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
you cant unlock this level unless you have kids of your own
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
how about you suck my asshole
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
and then I just laugh in the faces of people who think they should be getting any sleep with an infant
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
if youre asking me that
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
n o one prepared you adequately to think through having children
Clown State
That is beyond frustrating. I'm sorry you gotta deal with attitudes like that while at work, Leah.
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
lmao I mean. i got the "you never know~" from a coworker
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
if I get pregnant I will get an abortion
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
people get so offended LMFAO
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
"you will never see someone get an abortion so fast"
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
it's so rude
MOVED
ALL OF THIS ALL OF IT FUCKING ALL OF IT
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
so dont think because youre a doctor youre exempt from this shit
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
boop snoot riot
boop snoot riot
I've heard my mom say within earshot of me that if she could do it all again she wouldn't have kids
boop snoot riot
she later was like OH NO I WOULDN'T SAY THAT I LOVE YOU MARISA and i'm like it is too late mother, the deed is sealed
boop snoot riot
(tho it honestly didn't affect me & i can't really blame her either)
boop snoot riot
the older i get, the less appealing having kids sounds to me tbh

There's a fuckton of bad reasons people have children and "to give my life meaning!" is a huge and terrible one
gremlin mode
relying on another being for self validation is horrible all around. even worse when it's someone you brought in to the world by no fault of their own
gremlin mode
it's so gross
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
its super fucking gross
StupidSexyVโš der
yep
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
also there are straight up people that shouldnt be parents
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
unless you're willing to dedicate your life to your child then you shouldn't have children
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
one of my coworkers constantly goes on about how she wanted her children and she loves it when she has time off to spend with them
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
speaking for myself i can't see me ever being that dedicated, so there's no way i'm having children. plus i don't want to subject them to my craziness either
You HETEROLINIS
honestly, I bet this is half of why 'pressing for grandchildren' is such a thing
You HETEROLINIS
IE: the feeling of self validation without having to give so much of yourself
pollัƒฮฑฮทฮทฮฑ
my dad is desperate for another grandchild and it's like "no way"
You HETEROLINIS
oh, my mom has pressed for grandkids for a while and it's like MOM
You HETEROLINIS
NONE OF US ARE FINANCIALLY STABLE FOR THAT
You HETEROLINIS
also not me ever but yknow
You HETEROLINIS
that's the other thing, kids are fucking expensive and my parents couldn't afford how many kids they had
You HETEROLINIS
and they're in a bad place financially in their middle age in part due to that
You HETEROLINIS
I'm not having a kid I couldn't afford to feed and clothe when I struggle doing the same for myself
StupidSexyVโš der
Seriously
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
i'm putting money together to afford a cat how the fuck do people get kids
๐–‰๐–—๐–Š๐–†๐–’๐–Ž๐–“๐–Œ*โ›ฅ*๏พŸใƒปใ€‚*
And then you get those people who don't consider/make fun of you when you call your pet your child too
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
YEAH FUCK THOSE PEOPLE TOO
๐Ÿ…ผ๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…ท๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ฝ๐Ÿ…ถโ„๏ธ๐Ÿน
like I can tell you there are MANY pets out there more wanted and way better cared for than a lot of kids
๐–‰๐–—๐–Š๐–†๐–’๐–Ž๐–“๐–Œ*โ›ฅ*๏พŸใƒปใ€‚*
Yeah and a pet is solely dependent on you for its continued existence (assuming indoor pet) and it's like HMMMM SOUNDS FAMILIAR
