Things you 'should' feel guilty for but don't

[TinaTwinkleToes]

I don't like my mother but she helps with childcare

🤣🤣 christ that's blunt, but I'm totally with you

God yeah, definitely one-and-done if DP and I go down the baby route.

Fuck martyring ourselves in a noisy house with screaming kids all over the place.

😂😂😂

Wait do people actually wash theor recycling?? I can barely be bothered to wash the actual dishes

Going away for weekends and sometimes a weeks holiday without any of our children on a regular basis.

My main motivation for breastfeeding was it seemed a whole lot easier that faffing with bottles, sterilisers, volumes etc. Especially at night!

For having one child.Never regretted it.

Not even pregnant but I already know I won’t be breastfeeding 😂

I've found my people on this thread!

I've got 1 child, didn't want to breastfeed and don't recycle.

Don't feel guilty about any of it!

Using all the chemicals on our hard water stains. Our water is so hard one of the cleaners used acid on the shower screens. Otherwise I try to use natural products but vinegar and baking soda isn’t going to work.

Too right.

Having lots of trainers, and wearing them without socks.

Really funny for me reading this as earlier today I discovered you could buy chopped frozen onions (never knew this!) and thought that sounded like a good idea but wasn’t sure…. I think your post is a sign, I’m going to add them to my Asda order tomorrow! 😂 Thanks!

Why should you feel guilty about that? I bet your toddler's father doesn't feel guilty.
Kudos to you for sticking to your guns over family size too.

I made that choice as soon as I found out what BF was.
20 years later when I had my first child, I stuck to my decision. My mum gave the first bottle as my gran did for me, and MIL pushed the pram out of the hospital.
I work full time
I don't stay at parties (unless I have been asked to help)
Our puppy is from a KC breeder - I didn't feel experienced enough to take on a rescue with potential health and behaviour problems (I do admire those who do but don't feel guilty about not adopting)

And cheaper!

I don't feel guilty for lying in my bed to stupid o'clock on my day off
Or showering and putting on clean pjs
Or spending hours in social media
I'm not harming anyone

I also use the tumble to de-crease clothes. I never iron

I work part time purely because I refuse to spend my best years slogging away five days a week. My job is not tied to my identity or self-worth.

I’m voting Reform first chance I get

Good for you! This is exactly how I would do it too. Not that I put on the lottery but still 😂

Having a cleaner every week
Taking the day off when I want (own my own business)
Earning what I do and always being able to pick my DC up from school (I worked hard to get here)

Well please please research them first. Look at their values and belief system; their intelligence levels and ability to navigate complex international relations and think strategically in a complex world. PLs also think about their bond with Trump and his lack of respect for allies, and our soldiers.
Think realistically what you, your family and community and country will gain from them before you use your valuable vote x

Screen time
Beige food

I use these frequently so my kids have a parent who is at least half-functioning. I should do better, yes, but without them my kids would have a very shouty mum who'd probably have done a midnight flit by now.

We went to Disneyland without ours 🤣
