I get bored often since I never know what I want to do, and what interests me.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children?

I grew up watching my siblings torture our mom, not appreciating what she did for us and making fun of her. I knew I wouldn't be able to survive it if that happened to me. She was wonderful!

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

Wait, so you want kids? Or did you decide you didn't? It's really sad you were denied at the sperm banks. I'm sorry.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

I think that's responsible. My niece had 4 kids by the time she was 20yr. In my opinion I think that's way too young. But, I'm pro choice so if that's what she wants whatever

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children?

ace and i have always been terrified of the pain and i want to spend my adult life partying and traveling and i wouldn’t be a very responsible or attentive parent (though i would love them to death)

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

oh, i didn't think about this. maybe i shouldn't adopt 🤷‍♀️

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children?

Im a f*****g teenager

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children?

I had a child with my abusive ex and I've been going to court back and forth with him for years now... I love my kid to death, but sometimes I wish I hadn't had her so I could spare us both all the emotional turmoil. Besides that, I'm falling to bits, and if not for my husband being around and being my carer, I wouldn't be in a position to keep my child with me.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

Me too, I just never felt the need, and it would be unfair to bring to world unwanted children. No one ever asks 'why did you want children' as if that was the better alternative automatically - humans don't live by pure instinct, so I think that would be a valid question to ask.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

While I support you not wanting children, I'm curious about why you don't trust women.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

Nice one 🙂

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

That is a perfectly good reason in my eyes. 'Because I don't" should be the end of the conversation.

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children? (Closed)

You sound very responsible, I hope it works out, sis

Hey Pandas, I Wanted To Ask Why Have You Decided Not To Have Children?

I want to make the world a better place and I think I could do that better if I didn’t have to raise a child. I just don’t think having more children is a responsible thing to do when the world is collapsing around us and I think nature conservation or helping wild animals or something would make the world better

Your "permant record" you create for yourself online DOES follow you for the rest of your life! Careful what you say! Look what just happened to Scott Adams.

See, the thing is, you were/are a child. He's an adult. He should know by now that words are weapons. You've got a good heart to see that this is because he's been traumatized himself (generational trauma is ABSOLUTELY real), but he's made choices to not pursue healing. You deserve better, but so does he, from himself. Maybe try writing him a letter about this. See if he'll read some articles online about what trauma does to people so he doesn't feel like he's required to bear this alone. I hope you're doing better nowadays.

My mother's most infamous substitution was mutton instead of pork roast. The whole family swore off pork until she confessed.

Nobody wakes up early. Like you can wake up before dawn and get fantastic golden hour pics when the city is empty then go back for breakfast and a nap before heading out for lunch. Like the best city for this is Rome. No one is around and you can get wide shots that would never happen during the day and the lighting is better.

Who you go with is way more important than where you go.

“I Know He Can Afford So Much More”: Woman Checks Her Engagement Ring’s Hallmark And Finds Out That It’s “Cheap”

Unless if he got scammed thinking it was an expensive/decent ring, but in reality, it was fake, he's probably not the greatest person you want to be spending your whole future with. He spends a lot on himself but finds the cheapest ring for you for pretty much the most important question of one's life, that's definitely not a good quality to have.

“I Felt So Shaken Up”: Woman Leaves Family Trip After Eavesdropping On Husband’s Conversation With Mother-In-Law

Everyone would probably feel the exact same way about the woman if it was the other way around. If it was a different story with the roles reversed, no one would be supporting the woman. This story had nothing to do with favoring the man or the woman, it's solely based on their actions.

Some people are so desperate for attention it's sick and criminal. I'm sorry for your experience but so glad you and your husband left that craziness and have had your own happy life away from it!

Hey Pandas, What's The Most Outrageous Lie You've Ever Been Told?

My boyfriend's mom said she had cancer. She lost a bunch of weight (she was morbidly obese & found a Dr. Feel Good to give her hella powerful drugs). Had her husband and son at her beck and call 24/7 because she “needed help” and was SO weak and sick. Gaslit the whole town, had everyone giving her attention, flowers, home-cooked meals, etc. My boyfriend and I could never go out (“what if she fell?!) but she loved having us both there to listen to her monologues. This went on for 2 years! We were dumb teenagers, but shouldn’t the adults have noticed something wasn’t right? They finally did, it all came out (suprise! No cancer!) and my boyfriend had to leave town because of the shame. (I went with him- happily married for 40 years) We tried to forgive her when our kids came along. She started the same old stuff, and we finally completely cut her off. So, big, big, biiiiig lies.
