    They don’t leave you alone if someone is always awake at all times and also there is a small child in your bed and when you get up they want to get up too and everyone has their own stuff going on so you just have to take care of it all without complaining because honestly that would just open a whole different can of worms and that just continues forever and there is no end in sight

    Yeah.

        Yes. This type of dismissive response is the other reason I shouldn’t talk about my struggles to begin with. Thank you for the direct example.

          I hear ya. Don’t pack it down or bottle it up. This isn’t that other place, and you can tell the punters to STFU. Your struggles are valid and your stresses are worthy of solutions. Feel free to bend my ear, and I’m sure others here are able to be helpful as well. You’re not alone, neighbor. 🤗✊🏼

            And yet you replied directly to them. The fact that you used their comment as a platform for your rant makes it worse, not better.

                No, I know why you did it. I saw your other comments. I’m not asking why, im explaining that your comment was dimissive, rude, and very much using a person who was venting about their stress in life.

                Not for them, obviously.

                You do understand that makes it worse, right?

        So your advice to them is to kill off their kids? Or to invent a time machine and go back to erase them form existence?

        What a pointless and arrogant reply…

        /r/ChildFree is leaking.

        Can we at least keep the toxic dismissive, high horse bullshit on reddit and not bring it to lemmy?

        It’d be nice if conversation quality wasn’t bottom barrel like the above comment.

      And keep your chin up. There actually is an end in sight. The years your children are young may seem like forever and unbearable work for you, but it will pass. My son is 20 and my daughter is 17 and I will never forget those early years of tortured parenthood but it will pass, and if you take care of your health you will feel 20 years old forever and when your children are grown you can have your youth and freedom back. Believe me! I’m living it. You can have this joy. All your hard work will pay off.

      I repeat: take care of your health and when your children are grown, you will have your youth and freedom back.
