This is so cool. Both.

Finally, someone who gets it!

There are many good reasons to not want kids (most of them problems for one self, the kids, the world...) so in my book not selfish. It's more selfish to want kids just to procreate. What could be more selfish than that? That being said: it's ok to sometimes be selfish.

I got so tired to being the one to put in then mental effort and planning for ordinary every things. My husband and I talked about it, and now whilst I am planning the menu, composing the shopping list etc, he is washing dishes, doing the laundry, vacuuming the stairs... What I am doing has not changed, but it is being recognised as being part of the housework. It's being valued and appreciated. We each have our own tasks, and it feels like a balance has been reached.

Sounds like the type to start a juicy rumour if there wasn't one going round, true or not.

I'd far rather a very simple wedding, and use the money as a downpayment on a house.

This.

Yes, and I also have books I've read more than twenty times.

I think tax avoidance is trashier when the rich do it because they're just being greedy monsters

The never ending mess

aged 68 here - lived away from home since I was 16 - started off really loving the freedom to eat what I want when I wanted - having children and realising that I had to organise buying and then cooking the food - every. single. day . forever and ever and ever and ever - oh and the washing - did I meantion the washing? But mostly the deciding what to eat , buying it, cooking it, washing the dihes up and then starting over

That I’d be happier single than in a toxic relationship. 💖

The amount of money it takes to live.

That my kids took over for my parents and tell me what to do

I’ve also seen this answered with the agony of having to decide to eat at every single meal every single day. And I concur

Always something to do with Money, or Bills!

YES!!EVERY F*****G DAY!

I feel that way often, then I feel much better when I get off my butt and self-pity, accomplish those tasks. Then I feel the buzz I get from the sense of accomplishment.

Having to show up at work day after day, and having to ask for time off.

Shardy, it never ends even in death there be the responsibility to stay that way.

How unkind people Still are.

two: the weight of responsibility, and the random blame and and unreasonable punishment with no recourse you get from the government

Not to mention if you have children.

"A" Task??? I wish it were only ONE!!!!

How much of your “freedom” is taken away in exchange for responsibility.

Not spending every cent you have left after paying the bills

You all lied when you said it’s a 50/50 deal

That you can't do what you want to without getting judged: buying expensive toys so you can play with them, not collect them.

I'm so grateful for all I have, yet I can't help but question how the society and rat race created is really the best we can do. We could be villagers!

Constant stress,and a love for isolation

Well true, but you don't have to take on every single task.

Flatware doesn't magically come with your first apartment. That happened to me. Finally got all moved in, was gonna make something to eat and then the lightbulb went off and I was like ohhhhhh yeah!

Being tired. Even after a long weekend full of resting... By Monday I'm tired. Yet again.

More than one task usually

So when did this become news??

Never having to eat asparagus again.

The unexpected pains in parts of your body you wouldn't even think was possible. Just scrubbed my bathroom and I'm literally sore all over.

Washing up is a metaphor for life

Unfortunately the sleazy dates will lie and say "no", when, in fact, there is someone

I wish we had a cry room at work. I'd use it every day. Maybe multiple times.

I’ll take on that schedule, can remix it to like 7-5, Mon-Th

Pain in the back of throat.

In Europe we have the museum night since 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Night_of_Museums

Clever!

No wonder, that character is played by someone new at the job.

I just tried the same thing and I am writing this from the Emergency Room.

We are mammals! Surrounded by food we are designed to eat as much of as we can(high fat/sugar), as it should have been as rare as hens teeth to come across. We are meant to lounge about and whatnot. No wonder so many of us suffer mental health issues, especially anxiety and depression. Our societal advancements don't mesh well with our still existing basic instincts (inside artificial structures, artifical light affecting circadian rhythm etc)
