And re-reading the same book 900x to someone and then getting told that somebody else does it better and you are doing it all wrong. And the book must be either mysteriously sticky, wet, or both.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The pressure society puts on moms is unbelievable. Expecting moms are told countless ways how they “should" give birth, feed their baby, build their career, promote a healthy relationship with the baby, and so on and so on. Meanwhile, moms who delivered a baby are expected to “get back on track,” meaning life, work, family duties, body shape and size should be the way society wants. If not, many moms feel like they failed, hence self-worth problems and even depression may emerge.

This survey commissioned by TIME found that half of 913 new mothers that participated had experienced regret, shame, guilt or anger, mostly due to unexpected complications and lack of support. And that’s not all.
More than 70% felt pressured to do things a certain way. More than half said a natural birth was extremely or very important, yet 43% wound up needing drugs or an epidural, and 22% had unplanned C-sections. Breastfeeding, too, proved a greater challenge than anticipated. Out of the 20% who planned to breastfeed for at least a year, fewer than half actually did.
The majority of mothers in the survey pointed to “society in general” as the source of the pressure, followed by doctors and other mothers. Sadly, this has become the new norm and not many women dare to publicly talk about it in fear of being dubbed “selfish” and “not good enough.”
So no wonder so many women these days choose to stay single and/or childfree. Contrary to common belief, a new study found child-free people are as happy as parents, with the authors surprised by just how many men and women indicated they didn’t want to have kids. The result follows the larger trend of Americans having fewer children in general: the U.S. birth rate fell to a record low last year and there could be 300,000 to 500,000 fewer births in 2021, according to some estimates.
Yes, and I'm never quite sure whether I'm deep cleaning BECAUSE I'm mad at the world and being passive- aggressive about it and want them to slowly back away from the crazy lady with the scrub brush and bleach, or whether I'm mad at the world because I'm having to deep clean AGAIN and I'm the only person doing it.
So to find out more about why more and more women consciously decide to opt out from parenthood, we spoke with the relationship coach Jane Parker. “I think there are many possible reasons and each woman who chooses to be childfree and/or single has a unique reason for themselves,” she told Bored Panda.
Parker explained that some women realize that their career is more important to them than having children or getting married. “Devoting your life to caring for another is a very big choice to make, and not all women want to commit to that. Life without children can create more ease for adventure, unlimited possibilities, and freedom of choice.”
Another reason may be finances. “Maybe some women just love the idea of only needing to think and take care of only themselves and aren't willing to make the sacrifices that parenting requires,” Parker said.The relationship coach said that childfree women may not want the responsibility of raising a child or, quite simply, “they love their life exactly how it is and don't want to change it to fit around a child.”

You might not be wrong though. My hubby doesn't use soap. Just rinses the dishes and puts them away...wet, with food still stuck on. 'It's good enough!' No...no it really isn't.
Right? As if they pulled them out of my life.

I now pointedly refuse to tell my husband where anything is. When he asks me where the scissors are for the 10th time this month I look him dead in the eye and say where do you think we keep them. It’s amazing how quickly he can find stuff with that one simple question.
That worked years ago with my kids but alas it was too late to retrain the hubby-his mother believed that HER SON was an actual god.

Does anyone here actually like their partner? 🤔 Seems to be an awful lot of people whinging about this person they decided to marry, like they knew nothing about them beforehand.
You're single or newly in love, right? Or do you like creepy couples who say: "We always laugh together. Only when you are well, I am well". Relationship images like these are false role models.

OMG this one is spot on. It gave me a great chuckle. I've been married going on 40 years so at this point, every time he pulls a "Drew Barrymore "😅 I start worrying about alzheimer's. Then I think, wait he's been doing this for 40 years. Then I feel like Drew Barrymore!🤦♀️
This isn't cute or funny, stop letting grown-ass men get away with behaving like children
Try this - make your luggage lock combo your anniversary date. Then when he asks what it is, watch his reaction closely when you tell him.
Wow that's a really unhealthy relationship right there - trying to lead your partner into a trap? How about communicating about your issues instead?

We got married at 19. We’re 67 now. Tell me about it. BTW-I’m just as bad as him. Age is a great leveler.
I forget names, and my hubby forgets dates. We are constantly reminding each other who that person is, and that we have that thing with them next Wednesday. 😅

Mine would forget to bring along his head if wasn't attached to his body.
Mine was too. Then he joined the army and I laughed & laughted 😛

This stuff starts early, too. The older brother (age 7 or 8) of one of my TK kids (age 5) came up to me this week at the end of school and asked where his brother was. Me: "What do you mean, where is he? He didn't come to school today." Him: "Oh yeah. I forgot." He only has one brother. Oy.
Mine keeps asking the same questions over and over, and when I get exasperated he says "Well I have more important things to remember." Then why do you keep asking this if it's not important? And I've heard the same stories so many times I could recite them in my sleep!
It is a lot easier to make the Mona Lisa laugh than to get my husband to do anything I ask him to do.
Maybe your choice in men isn't that good. I'm not sure why a lot of women make men out to be idiots that can't remember anything or do anything without supervision. Maybe your man just isn't up to par. Maybe make better life partner choices. Or stick with who you're with and be thankful you're not alone.
Another Karen.... the fact that YOU have an eidetic memory, will NEVER imply that everyone else must therefore have the same. Think outside yourself for once.
Does he have dementia. If he does go to the Alzheimer’s Assoc. for help and advice. Www.alz.org
My ex was a stoner and we were together for 10 years and my husband today is going mental over me for treating him like a child 😆😆 seriously messed up😅
I literally had this same thought the other day...nice to know I'm not alone!
The other day mine asked if we have any full-length mirrors in the house. We have two, in the master bedroom, where they have been for the last 8 years
I like breakfast, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood right after waking up, you know? Why force it on yourself.

And then the kids grow up and move away, and you miss them but they don't miss you because for them, life is a great big adventure, and you can't be mad at them because you did the exact same thing to YOUR parents. And now life is just more or less wrapping things up and putting things away and shutting things down so my wife won't have to deal with so much mess when I die.
Um. We’re living the same life. But you sound like you’re doing it with style. Bravo!

Am I the only one that doesn't think it's cute or funny when wives/moms make posts like "(sigh) my husband doesn't know how to do housework or cook, or take care of the kids he helped make, and needs his hand held like a child to get through daily life, isn't that fUnNy"?
Agreed. A man who doesn't know how to wash dishes or even remember their child's birthday, isn't someone whom I would want to spend the rest of my life with if you ask me. That only means I'll wind up doing everything.

When u have to lock the door by opening the drawer of our captain's bed 🤣🤣🤣
Remember people it's all temporary, it's won't last. Just enjoy it because soon you'll be dead...forever.
This is not the point of this article but reading your comment made me think of something I read recently. The person asked another individual that was fretting over if death would be painful, if anything was known or felt prior to them being born, and then said think of death the same way, you didn't know anything about anything before you were born and you won't know anything about anything after you die. So don't worry about it. Reading that changed my whole attitude about death. Edit: spelling
