> common issue that ends this way

Yikes. Wow. It is a fairly common issue - you're right. Think something like 1 in 8 women experiences true PPD & not just 2-week "baby blues" almost all women get from huge hormone let-down/change after birth.

Do 1 in 8 women kill their kids? If you're trying to stand up for women, you're doing a shit job of it.

Interesting. Hmmm 🤔 I was a big Robin Hood fan. I never considered what effect, if any, cartoons had on us. I was sorta unnaturally obsessed with Garfield, & Tom & Jerry, too.

Drew tons of mice as a young girl, then put udders on literally everything for quite awhile. All of the mice even 😆 I was a good artist into my teens. No furry tendencies, though.

I paid them off with my stocks, which were Microsoft & got them as a minor, sat stagnant forever, even declined, split once... finally got back to original $10k gifted at, so sold.

They went up a lot not long after 😩

Zero income?? Thought everyone said you were rich!

I did the semi-ascetic/anprim male thing for years before my husband, but would be lying if didn't say it made me too insecure to procreate.

I can be far from rich, but I had to know someone knew about the next meal, so I could raise my own kids - not daycare.

Side note: I actually did have 10k in student loans when we met, but it gave me a certification in a trade... & I had a step-grandmother who also gave me 10k in stocks.

Handed them over for the debt so I could be home with baby. Fine trade 😊

No, no... her being alive ups the intrigue for most bitches 😜

My moniker is an old Scandi nickname of my great aunt's meaning "little girl," or "sweet girl." Cute, I thought ☺️

Agggh... not my thing. I can see where to the hordes of midwit women, marriage probably connotates resources, or that he's already been test-driven for some years, but awful.

Ewww... but it supposedly has antidepressant properties, so guess it's all there is fighting the bc, etc.

You, too, sir. Boy, you sent a lot of strays our way. Glad you're afloat again!

Texas?? New data center? What does the creepy lone star state have to do with your upheaval?

I didn't think men cared much about female financial acumen, lol, but not having $20k in student loans for liberal arts is probably a bonus...

You could argue the same about no one respecting children/babies, or the signs from batshit crazy women about to off them.

Difference is your girlfriend's partner's family looking the other way with him, while equally awful, isn't a full-on TikTok trend & hashtag.

I, uh, still memorize almost everyone's phone numbers (& birthdays!). It's part of my 'tism. Remember party lines?? "Only answer the double-ring, not one. That's the neighbor's..." lol 😆

Holy cats... yeah, definitely no good! Sad, @Rlyn 🥺

I'm not sure if I do remember those 🤔 I was very young for the party lines, but I also remember rotary phones... I'm still hopefully only old to some zoomers & the alpha crowd. Humor me, Dag. Lol

My grandpa had some weird thing called a beta player? The little VHS tapes. Ha! He was an engineer & mechanic, & learned all the current things, though.

My dad made a mean cinnamon roll 😃

Sounds perfect ☺️

...in hindsight, I kinda wish my mom had started drinking BEFORE I was 12-13. She was more fun as a wine grandma 👵😄
