I am a childless person who actually really likes and tolerates children well (probably for being a teacher for so long), but all the parents in the comments and QTs sound genuinely bitter and jealous. If your life is fuller with kids, you don’t generally get mad at childless people have their own thing going on.. right ? So weird.
@LoafyToasty@zapatas_mom I don’t care about the dominant narrative. I swear people can just stfu sometimes. Have kids or don’t idc but posting on social media about it is annoying asf
@aidenbreakdowns@zapatas_mom When the dominajt narrative is that you're life is empty without kids and you should be having kids I wonder why people might post about their lives being fulfilled while being childless
@itbettis@zapatas_mom Sure. I guess. Still weird behavior. Just travel without mentioning kids it’s really not that hard. People who “bust people’s chops” for not having kids are weird too. Just don’t understand why people want attention so much regardless of which side you’re on
@aidenbreakdowns@zapatas_mom Why not mention children? People mention children and their absence all the time. People, clearly, like to bust peoples chops for *not* having kids. It seems reasonable that folks might want to return the favor a little.
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom I don’t understand why people do a lot and I don’t attempt to understand. You don’t need to make sense of it within your own world view.
@Vyschl1@zapatas_mom I mean I don’t post shit on social media so idk why people post anything in the first place. I’m not offended by it I just think it’s weird behavior
@aidenbreakdowns@zapatas_mom why they posted it is a problem. it is normal to post anything as long as it is not offensive and against the law. well, unless you see the post as offensive
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom So no one needs to see your dinner, your spouse, your accomplishments, your sadness, your hope, your joy, your loss, your new job or house. It’s no different.
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom By your logic, everything is pointless. They never said they were different. No one needs to tell social media anything, there’s not some higher order reason to posting on a site meant for social interactions.
@crispimmmmmm@zapatas_mom When did I say it’s a mockery towards people who have kids?? People online love to put words in your mouth. And I agree with you the video is about them not having kids because they’re doing other things. How am I bitter and jealous?? I’ve traveled the world plenty
@aidenbreakdowns@zapatas_mom No, it makes it seem like having kids is not in their plans because they got other stuff going on. Any interpretation beyond that is a reach. You seem to think this is a mockery towards people who have kids, which reaffirms what op said: people mad at this are bitter and jealous.
@princessofperil@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom You’re acting like I disagree with you about traveling and not having kids 😭😭you just don’t have to tell the world “I’m so different for not having kids and traveling” it’s pointless
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom I am able to travel less because I am paying for a home now rather than an apartment. Now consider a few kids. So yes, that’s a reason you get to travel when you don’t have kids.
@princessofperil@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom I disagree. I don’t think there’s a reason to mention children in the video. If they want to travel and show that off cool but mentioning children is irrelevant.
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom The reason is that is their reason. What isn’t clicking? I get that people say you can do both, privileged people can. Most people have to pick.
@princessofperil@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom You’re missing the point. I’m not saying that’s the wrong lifestyle to be living. There’s no reason to mention children in their video.
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom Absolutely- the social norm is that you burden yourself with children and it’s still taboo to go against that, so they are showing another perspective. You don’t have to relate but there’s nothing actually wrong with not wanting to be burdened and being happy about it.
@ellekarmawrites@zapatas_mom You can do both. Just post about traveling without mentioning not having kids. No person who posts their kid scoring a goal in soccer says, “my son just scored a goal I couldn’t imagine being childless and traveling the world right now”
@aidenbreakdowns@zapatas_mom Why post about your kid's birthday party or the goal they scored in soccer? Same thing. The internet is for everyone to post about whatever pedestrian crap they want to post.
@princessofperil@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom It matters to them to express to the world that they are happy to travel around the world because they don’t have to face the burden of having kids?
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom But why should they, that’s their life. They get to decide what and why they do things. They get to decide their motivation. There’s no reason not to mention it if it matters to THEM.
@ReactionBlocked@zapatas_mom You brought up beliefs. You said “Yea they say stuff like "you don't know true love until you have a child, my life had no meaning before I met you".” I ain’t moving no goalposts
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom Right, objectively it’s unhealthy to be fat. Objectively, it’s not unhealthy to not have kids you don’t want. It would be unhealthy to be forced to want or have them against your will.
@aidenbreakdowns@ReactionBlocked@zapatas_mom That’s idealistic but unfortunately not based In reality. I am a better human that a crack head on skid row feeding their dog fentanyl. My value is not even comparable. My life is worth more. That’s just reality.
@princessofperil@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom You could argue that out of respect, you should tell people the truth even if it can be hurtful so that they can improve themselves. Feeding lies to someone can come off as disrespect imo
@aidenbreakdowns@ankurkumardutt5@zapatas_mom If I say you are ugly but could be better looking if you got a proper haircut, then I could be actually helping you improve the quality of your life, however, you might find it disrespectful even though helping someone be better is respect.
