“I am 65 and my daughter is 45. It’s disheartening that I can’t trust her to give her power of attorney when I am in my elderly years. Between my military and personal retirement I will bring in about 7-8k a month, so I’m hoping I can stay in a nice nursing home. But I need to give someone POA and I don’t know who. There’s really no responsible family who’s younger than me. I bought my daughter a car and she didn’t pay her $60 a month car insurance and totaled it. I helped her buy a house but she kept refinancing it and taking out equity until she could no longer afford the payment and lost it. She spends her money on the dumbest stuff like matching gold chains and watches for her and her boyfriend. I don’t even want to leave her money in my will because she will spend it on her boyfriend who doesn’t work. I worry because dementia runs in my family and I feel I’m on limited time and need to decide what to do. Who will advocate for me if I’m ever in that position. Who will responsibly make sure my retirement is spent appropriately and I get the best care? Anyone else in this position? I’m getting ready to retire and it’s been on my mind lately.”

At least he had a chance of NOT dying alone if his kid was not a fuck up. The childless guy has no chance. This argument is so stupid. "Look at this guy! He will die alone! Ha Ha!" Yeah, so will you fag. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5630080&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310880",#48309900) |

Date: November 8th, 2024 9:22 AM Author: ...,..,,,.,.,.,.,.,. I joined the group to check out what goes beyond the surface. It's a good reminder that there are some realities behind what society portrays.
This is the shit none will tell you happens behind close doors. I can assure you this anonymous mother has her family and acquaintances thinking her daughter is 180 and she counts her blessings. |

Date: November 8th, 2024 10:22 AM Author: ""'"""' This is nonsense. If you think someone's a moron, why would you want them reproducing? What are they contributing to society by bringing 2+ morons who will then also reproduce and bring another 2 morons to the world? JFC.
This would just mean the moron caused another 14+ morons to be born in his lifetime. |

Date: November 8th, 2024 10:33 AM Author: Allan Lichtman's ridiculous hair system two things can be true at the same time. it can be good that they didn't reproduce, but we can also laugh at them for it as well as their reasoning for not having kids.

Date: November 8th, 2024 10:46 AM Author: ""'"""' It's like laughing at the male black widow spider for refusing to reproduce:
Male Black Widow Spider
Similar to the praying mantis, male black widow spiders often get eaten by the female after mating. This behavior, known as sexual cannibalism, provides the female with nutrients to produce more offspring. |

“Why does anyone actually want children? I don't understand because I have 2 and never wanted them and have now made sure I will never have anymore!! The first was a silly teenage accident and the second was my husbands fault for guilt tripping me into having another. All it is is non stop whining and whining all day long. Working 40 hours a week to pay for their ungratefulness and not having any time for yourself at the weekend because it's not stop kids entertainment or dreaded birthday parties! I've had 3 in a row on sundays! It's a nightmare at bedtime and then it's a nightmare to get them up, ready and out the house on time. It's a never ending cycle of disfunction and misery. I can't fathom that there's people that actually want this life. You're not missing out on anything by being childfree”

“I had a daughter when I was 29 while I was halfway through my PhD, mostly because my wife was 39 at the time and felt the pressure to beat the biological clock. I never liked children but I thought it would be different for my own and above all I vastly underestimated the change she would bring to my life. I'm now 34 and my daughter is 5. She is a sweet girl and compared to other situations I read in this community I really cannot complain. Moreover, things are getting better and better every day as she grows up. Still, being just the two of us in a foreign country with no family support, I still feel overwhelmed by the amount of time and energy that gets drained by her. I dearly miss my life before becoming a dad, and I envy most of my colleagues and friends, child free, who can still enjoy their adult life, like I felt I never had the chance to do. I do love my daughter and I want to continue being an important part of her life---I'm much more present in her life than my dad was in mine, and I can see she's more attached to me than I was to my father---but at the same time I crave some time for my hobbies or just spend a weekend travelling alone with my wife or doing whatever I feel like doing without any planning or negotiation with others. I wonder whether at some point I'll stop regretting becoming a dad, but while things keep improving, I'm not quite there yet and I realise I may never get there.” |
