I have an absolute visceral reaction to babies

Rant brought on by a lady at work sitting her baby on the counter that was only in a nasty diaper.

I see a lot of people on here who make posts about how they love babies and think they're so cute even though they don't want one. That's definitely Not me. Babies are absolutely disgusting to me. Out of all the stages of childhood baby is the most repulsive imo.

They're just so dirty. They're somehow always sticky and covered in snot. Or they're sticking their fingers in their mouth getting saliva everywhere. And they're barfing all the time. Everything about it is gross.

Unfortunately I work a customer facing job and people have their babies all the time. Parents are always expecting me to dote on their baby and I can't get myself to fake it. One thing I really hate is people expecting the entire world to fawn over their cum creation.

I hate the stereotype that Childfree people have tons of disposable income

I see it a lot in this sub of people who have a lot of money assuming that ALL of us do. Yes, we would be a lot worse off if we had kids but lots of us are still struggling.

BF never talks about his family's culture?

White 26f with southeast Asian 25m. We've been seeing each other for like seven months. I just want to learn everything about him but he never seems to really talk about that? I want to ask but I'm also just nervous about coming off as insensitive or something. I'm pretty sure his parents are 1st gen immigrants but I don't even know what country. He doesn't eat like any SEA food. He just eats chicken rice and vegetables everyday.

Smash cakes are disgusting.

They just really gross me out. I don't see the appeal at all. A baby making a massive nasty mess and eating with their hands is gross and getting spit all over themselves. When I was a baby and my family tried to do a smash cake apparently I refused to touch it and cried when my family put my fingers in it. It's just repulsive.

Mom has plans for my money

I was a passenger in a major car accident almost a year ago. I have an ongoing insurance settlement with a lawyer. I'm 26 and live with my mom, we all know how the economy is right now. We split rent and expenses like roommates though.

I had a lot of injuries. Fractured sternum, broken wrist, messed up back, ptsd. I have chronic pain now and probably will for the rest of my life.

My mom has all kinds of fantasies for what she wants my settlement used for. We don't even have any idea how much it will be. But she has dreams of me buying a house, and all kinds of plans for what kind of renovations she'd want to do. She keeps showing me listings of houses she likes. If I tell her I don't really like one she likes she just keeps pushing back on it. She also keeps looking for houses with large attics or basements because she wants me to live in that space, while she has the rest of the house and full control of the main spaces.

But secretly when I get it I'm planning on just getting a car, and moving out to an apartment. If I have anything left I want to put it into a retirement fund. I don't want to own a house yet. All the maintenance is intimidating and I'm not even sure what state I want to live in long term. I'm also applying for a ton of jobs looking for something more stable than my current one.

I hate living with her. She was incredibly abusive to me as a kid. She beat me and said terrible things to me. Once in the car with me and my sister, we were arguing like kids do. So my mom decided to start screaming at us about how we make her feel like crashing into a telephone pole and killing all of us. And that's just scratching the surface.

Her anger is way better now but she's a complete slob and I'm a bit of a neat freak and minimalist. She's a cat hoarder too. Not too long ago I went in the bathroom and she had her dirty underwear stuffed into my box of pads. Just being in the same room as her irritates me.

I can't wait to get out. I desperately want to start my independent life. I just want to be happy with my bf, in a cute apartment, with ONE cat.

He just left :(

It was our first meet up and everything was perfect. He treated me like a princess in a fairytale. We went to a science center and looked at dinosaurs and made legos and cuddled. It felt perfect. And of course the day he's leaving it's raining too. I'm so sad he's gonna now.

Schmorl's node?

I have a Schmorl's node which was caused by a car accident almost a year ago. I've been experiencing pretty much constant pain since. Definitely a silly/achy pain. From reading and from my doctor apparently it isn't supposed to hurt, but it does. I'm confused.

I unapologetically hate the person who caused everything

I've been told by a lot of people I shouldn't be mad at the person who changed my life forever because it was an accident and he was young. Or that I shouldn't hope he feels bad. Idgaf he's responsible for making me constantly be in pain for maybe the rest of my life. I hate him, and I don't care. I don't know anything about him but I hope he feels terrible.

My mom put her dirty underwear in my box of pads...

I still live with my mom because the economy sucks. Hunting for a better job so hopefully I can escape.

But my mom is just an absolute tornado of a slob. She's a cat hoarder and doesn't clean up after them. She used to pile up her depends and let them rot in a giant mountain in her room or under the bathroom sink. She piles up her dirty clothes on the bathroom floor and I chuck them into her bedroom. Which is so dirty you can't even see the floor.

She never ever does her own dishes. I'm vegetarian so it really disgusts me cleaning up her nasty old meat dishes. She NEVER throws out leftovers. When the fridge is packed with Tupperware of her leftovers she just chucks the full containers into the sink and expects me to empty the rotting food from them for her.

Today I came home to her dirty clothes piled on the bathroom floor again. My pads are on the bottom of a shelf we have in there, and I saw she had her dirty underwear stuffed into the box. I'm so freaking angry and just sick of her. She disgusts me and I just can't even stand being in the same room as her.
