Hey Pandas, What's Something You Do To Entertain Yourself?

Cross stitch. Currently on a kick of doing house plants, but I use ridiculous color schemes to make it fun. I also started using an app to help me get into yoga. I hate yoga, but now I do about 20mins a day just to kill time before bed. I also started folding / rolling my underwear and socks when putting them away instead of an insane mess in the drawer. Kills a whole episode of a show and keeps me moving. Hang drying my clothes outside now as well. Makes me actually go outside for a bit.

Hey Pandas, What's Something You Do To Entertain Yourself?

I've started cooking and I mean really simple stuff even some microwave recipes. I basically just look and see what's in the cupboard and google what I can make with them. I've never liked cooking or baking and always found it a chore so I get great satisfaction when I create something that's good!

Hey Pandas, What's Something You Do To Entertain Yourself?

I talk to myself and make stories. Maybe its weird but then again, you dont know why Marie killed her grandfather after she found the bread loaf in her room...but i do.

Lol he should ask people who HAVE kids what they'd do if they didn't have kids and could retire early. I know plenty who could come up with answers right away.

I'm glad you have good friends, so that it's not just you dealing with unwanted attention and having nobody to talk to. It sounds like you're doing a great job of setting boundaries and not going along with things that make you uncomfortable. Good for you! I wish you well in life.

Yes, women don't need to work. We get free rent, free healthcare, free groceries, and free trips to the amusement park on Sunday afternoon. Yikes. What world does this dude live in? Also, you're a badass!

It wasn’t really that bad but it was very homophobic. A man said when I had my pride flag, “gays are bad! Go to hell.” And spat on my flag- like what?

I've literally never heard anybody say, "I don't dream of labor" before, and this hit me hard. I come from a family where it was always "Idle hands make the devil's work," etc. I'm starting to see I'm a little brainwashed.

People Who Decided Not To Have Kids Share How Their Lives Turned Out (30 Posts)

Same here. 46 and no regrets. I wanted kids when I was younger but eventually I got to an age where I didn't want to deal with younger parents at ptas, sporting events etc. I love my free time, freedom to travel, and not having to clean the house every single goddamn day because they make a mess. My ex sister-in-law had great kids but my God the amount of work and time they spent cleaning up after their kids was just exhausting for me . I've been to St. Croix and Iceland so far this year and going to London next month and hopefully Tokyo next year (if they open up). Don't have to worry about paying for an extra ticket, altering my plans because I have a kid Etc

In the part of the Netherlands where I live, the social housing situation has gotten so bad that me and my SO can't even rent a house with more than 2 rooms because we don't have kids. It's understandable, but infuriating at the same time.

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

As an AFAB individual (who doesn't present as masc as I would like, so gets assumed female a lot), I admittedly have been lucky enough to receive little harassment. But there have been a few incidents that my friends have definitely drilled into me were NOT OKAY. I was at an international camp. I was lying on my front next to my friends and one guy came and went to slap my a*s, stopping about an inch above. Another, different guy, pointed at my a*s and said "I'd f**k that". They were both

No 4. is my main reason. I don't even listen to music in general, any sound Im not focusing on makes my brain feel itchy (I don't know how else to explain it).

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

Well I was playing soccer for school yesterday (gen z 🙄) and it was the end of the game and I was standing with my friends and the teacher waiting for him to dismiss us. Now this little brat (named Thomas 🤮) kicked the soccer ball at us. (He plays soccer as an out of school sport as-well, has pretty good aim and the place the balls are stored was across the oval from us) and it hit me right in the face. (I have braces and the ball hit my face smashing my cheek into them so my mouth was bleeding I also couldn’t feel my face for a few hours) and I kid you not he walked over and was like “sorry” and practically rolled his eyes and walked off. Now I will NOT take that so when he walked past me on his way to the bus (I was walking the other way) I pushed him and he fell in the puddle then he swore at me but I just smiled at him. ✨✨✨✨

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

Ok so there's this guy at my school who's my age (fourteen) and all my friends know him because he's always staring at their boobs (one friend counted something like 30 glances in a minute when she secretly videoed him to catch him being a perv) We used to do an out-of-school activity in primary school but I hadn't really seen him or been friends with him until a few months back when we ended up on this leadership team together. He started waving at me in the hallways in between classes and sorta decided we were friends. The waving became a friendly caress of the shoulder, which was really weird but the last straw was when he flicked a lot of hair and sorta stroked the back of my neck. I go out of my way to avoid him and haven't said a word to him since. I'm still quite young so I'm sure there's plenty more to come in the future :(

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

I have some that happened to me: Husband’s friend would always “accidentally” touch my chest. One time he didn’t even pretend. He just straight up grabbed them and said they feel nice. Husband’s brother in law: Grope women he meets at the bar he works at as a part time bartender. He cheats on his wife left and right, wife turns a blind eye to keep up with appearances. Leers at girls. He did that to my daughter who’s only 13. She then understood what I meant when I told her about pedos, pervs, creeps, etc.

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

I worked as an independent contractor for a DISH NET Satellite franchise. We traveled to a new county to set up new contracts/ door to door sell satellite service. We stayed in a hotel , the girls shared rooms and the guys shared rooms. I was not into partying and went to my room and climbed into bed. A little while later one of the guys came into the room and crawled into bed next to me. He suggested a little romp. I reminded him that I was married and he stated that it was ok he was engaged. It was just a little fun. I told him he had 3 seconds to get out of my bed or I'd be permanently changing his gender for him. He did. I got up and went to the other room where the boss was. I noticed a number of looks from the other guys and I gave them an absolutely evil grin. I was older than any of them and I wasn't going to deal with any of their sh*t. That guy eventually came back in saw, me gave me wide berth and mumbled something about falling asleep in a bathtub. Boss man gave zero effs as he was just as messed up as the rest. I didn't stay there much longer.

I don't understand what people find so attractive about feet. Like, they're freakin' nasty. I hate feet, they creep me out if I look at them too long and start thinking about how much germs must be on them 🤢

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

My personal favorites: 1. My immediate supervisor telling me that "I should be at home taking care of my husband. Women don't need to work." 2. My husband's "friend" telling him to "check your wife" because my friends and I were laughing and telling "off color" jokes and he felt that I was acting improperly. My husband told him to mind his own business and gave him "the look". 3. Being leered at by a new co-worker who was making comments until he saw me lift a 100# bag of bran with one hand, slash it open with my knife and dump it in the barrel. He went pale. 4. While driving a tow motor and trailer on a casino floor full of patrons: "men" telling my team who were doing crowd control to get me "off of there before I hurt someone!" They shut up when I backed it down a 50 ft. row of slot machines to the door of the destination and started off-loading stacks of coin cans full of quarters. While my "guys" stood guard for me. BTW, I received a badge tag as a "Safe Driver" for never hurting anyone nor damaging property (unlike many of my guys!) I miss those days...

Hubby and i wound up working for a phone survay company. Soul crushing work when you have to be pushy and not listen to the nice ones and get screamed at by the mean ones, but gotta feed your family somehow! It was the only job available. Iirc they needed 25 people and 500+ people applied. Still, there was a job the day before we tried to apply for at a cannery, but the line was out around the parking lot 2 hours before yhe office even opened. My hubby wound up with heat stroke before we got half way there, so we went home. It looked like something out of the great depression. 2008 i think it was?

Erm, do not f**k him. That's what he thinks he's entitled to. But yah, he's an a*s.

Hey Female Pandas, What’s The Rudest Thing A Man Has Done To You?

When I was about nine or so there was a skirt I hadn't worn in a long time and we were going to the grocery store but we were in a hurry. So I put it on but when we had left me and my mom realized it was a little shorter than what was appropriate for my age. Fine whatever it was one trip and we would get rid of it later. About halfway through our shopping trip my mom kind of rushes me away quickly and I see a much older guy creeping behind me. He'd been staring at my short skirt trying to look up it! Jokes on him though cause i had shorts on underneath. We tossed the skirt almost as soon as we got home though.

I overheard my sister-in-law telling my brother-in-law that we should write everything in our will to them because “We need it; they don’t have kids (on both sides). What do they need it for?” They’re trying to get my father-in-law to facilitate the conversation. If they think you’re entitled to my money, don’t be shy. Tell me to my face! The joke is on her because my side of the money is locked up in a prenup. Our will, as it stands now, a nice sum is set aside for education, down payment, etc., for my nieces. Most of it is being distributed to charities. Planned Parenthood is on the list! The audacity and entitlement make my head spin! Just because I don’t have kids doesn’t mean it automatically goes to them.

I’m a 46 year old auntie to a wonderful little boy and I’m fine with that. My husband and I didn’t each hit 6 figures until about 4 years ago, so we’re not really swimming in money yet (we live in NYC). I love sleeping in. I love finishing dinner and then playing video games. I love going for long walks. I love peace and quiet. I love all my disposable income. My brother and his wife ask all the time when we’re going to visit so they can just toss my nephew at us for a week so they can go on vacation and you know, that just makes me extra happy I didn’t go that route.

Retiring to me means never working for anyone but myself. Thanks to the stars aligning with my childfreedom, the real estate boom, and a deep seated drive to be both lazy and selfish I'm about to live my dream - moving across the country, renting out an ADU for passive income, and freelancing when I feel like it. Of course, there are no guarantees this will last forever, but at 35 it's the closest thing to retirement I've ever experienced. So excited.

I was getting to know a (female) doctor my partner used to work with. She asked about my dream job and I responded that I don’t dream of labor; my dream is to be financially secure enough that I can retire ASAP. “Retired? Do you mean at home with babies?” “…Um no. Retired meaning I have enough savings to not have to work anymore while living comfortably.”

I had an experience that annoyed me apartment hunting last year. The lady showing my boyfriend and I the apartment kept prying why we would need a second bedroom, and saying things like if it’s just the two of us why isn’t a 1 bedroom enough. Even after explaining we both worked from home, she kept trying to push the smaller units. I guess the building has less 2 bedrooms so they like to keep them open for people with kids? As crazy as it sounds, people without kids also like space.

Love my life. Wouldn’t trade it with anyone. I’m 70 with no children, never married, and no regrets. Several long term relationships (11 yr. & 17 year ... still friends). Loved my never relinquishing my personal freedom. Several things informed my decision: Watching the relationships of parents and children, where children became a**holes. 2. Watching marriages that were okay go bad or boring 3. Watching people lose themselves in stressful marriages. 4. My inability to take shit and pretend that it’s not happening. 5. Not enjoying the feeling of having to negotiate everything from social events to meal choices. 6. Unwillingness to relinquish personal freedom
