That’s so cool, thank you very much!! 😁

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it’s a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don’t speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can’t get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don’t have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

Ohhh yeah sorry, I might have misinterpreted the point of your post! Obviously no one dies from watching a horror movie so my comment doesn’t apply 🤪

I thought I was the only person who felt that way! It makes me so angry when people with spouses and kids or even parents who love them do hyper dangerous sports. Like surely there has to be something more worth doing that doesn’t orphan your children??

(Obviously any sport has some risk as do things like driving, I’m referring to things like free diving or free climbing where there’s no way to have a real safety net)

Omg literally a shower thought

I know several people who feel this way!!

I think the part these points miss is that a lot of kids don’t have good or involved parents, and they shouldn’t have to suffer disproportionately because of it

I generally can’t afford monthly streaming services but I can occasionally afford to donate 2-5 dollars to someone who made a show available to me 🤷

I kept reading it as Daniel Radcliffe and I was like why the HECK is he working there?

I didn’t know a lot of this, thank you for explaining! I wasn’t aware of the background at all beyond seeing the cute pictures haha

Oh wow you rock! I definitely followed the snack exchange saga for a while before switching over here

What subs did you mod? I wanna watch the trainwreck 😂

I have so much anxiety about that cat jumping in the water and imagining how he’d get out

That’s a great insight for you to have! It’s easier to address a struggle if you can identify the root of it ❤️ Also many of us can empathize with being treated that way as children.

I love this question.

Also it makes me so angry when serial killers still try to deny their murders years after the fact. The only thing worse than a killer is a lying killer.

You got it!

Oh no just me!! 😂 My siblings just didn’t want kids for over a decade and suddenly changed their minds 🤪 It does leave me with mixed feelings as the person replying said, they’re a little hard to explain to someone who hasn’t been through it
