to ask you to tell us something you’d never admit IRL Thread 2

[GooseAndSandals]

Continuation of previous thread.

Probably not as much as I do, having to have had to use a walking stick, since I was 38!

When I see big families (more than 2 children) I tend to think it’s because the woman kept trying for a girl. And that if women had girls in first and second pregnancies there would be less multi-children families.

Another, more sinister confession: I completely and utrerly despise large families. There is absolutely no need to have that many kids, especially nowadays.

*utterly 🤦‍♀️
Anyway, they take up SO much space, get in everyone's way and their kids are nearly always feral, noisy little bastards. Also, WHOLE families going shopping together.

My last one- my worst nightmare in working in an office full of women- the constant chatter, the flirting and banter with any male who comes into view, the singing to the radio, the cliques....

Oh I'm so sad for you💐xx

Well there is a need, when so many people don't have kids at all.

Why? Please explain. There is already too many people.

I agree, a woman nearby is about to pop out number 4 in trying for a girl.
Wonder what she'll do if its another boy!!

My brother and his wife had a girl first, then a boy and then a surprise girl. So it is not always trying for a girl.

I have no interest in anyone's else kids

This is a bad one. I’ve known women who have had one kid “too far”. What I mean is that they had their first one or two children, got involved with another man and had one more kid and that kid has turned out to be the one who has disrupted what was a nice quiet life for various reasons. Seen it a few times. The kid “too far” has caused lots of problems one way or another

Where I'm from, these women seem to pop out a new kid with every new partner, without so much as a thought to the impact on their existing children. Also, women who have kids with large age gaps eg: Only child is 14 or 15, then mum suddenly decides to have another. Teen's life is then completely disrupted......

Yes something like that but (and this is going to make me sound even worse) the kid too far has some sort of medical need or behavioural problem that the existing kids didn’t have so it’s all extra time-consuming and hard work

Do you have children @BrisPerm ?

I never wash our lettuce - i recon if the outside leaves are removed (& chucked to compost) how/why would the inside leaves need rinsing?

Nobody has been poisoned by it in 49yrs married, but i’ve never dared to say it!

No, there isn't. The world is overpopulated.

Funny, that’s exactly what you sound like.

I know thanks for pointing out the bleedin' obvious. You don't have to be one to feel that way.

You clearly massively lack empathy.

Are you sure this is the right thread for you when you're so judgemental?

I think many women don't think ahead when having sex. I know I didn't and I've just been lucky, which not every woman will be. But if you're fertile, you're having sex with someone you aren't in a solid relationship with, then you're a complete nutter not to be using contraception. And yes I realise some methods aren't fully effective.

Following on from this, I kind of think women who aren't capable of financially supporting a new baby, should be freely offered abortion , day after pills etc, no quibbles. Abortions, within whatever the term is generally accepted by the medical profession. I think bringing kids into the world in our so-called advanced society when you can't afford to raise them is crazy.

I've probably got a few other offensive views up my sleeve but can't think of them now.

Are you the thread police? I am commenting that it seems like you struggle with empathy as you feel no empathy for migrants who die trying to make it over here on the boats. If you don’t want opinions, perhaps don’t post on open forums?!

Are you the empathy police?

Yes.
