Yesterday my son peed in the exact spot where I just finished cleaning up cat pee.

2 years old and already dominant among the cats. Not bad

This was so unfunny that I'm going to actively be less sarcastic to my kid from now on

Human reproduction is the biggest con. The worst thing is, we're the ones fooling ourselves.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 14 points 9 months ago

Never had any ambition or dreams that was greater than 1 life time? If not, yeah I could see how it's pointless to care for another human until its self sufficient.

If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue. Hell even your kids could not want to continue but you got grand kids and so forth. One of them may. As parent all we so is provide Fondation for the dream to continue.

Some people would say that attempting to reach your own self-fulfulment through your children is a form of child abuse. Certainly it can easily become abusive and I don't think it's a positive pattern to encourage.

Having a child aught not be about what you want or even what you need. That's backwards, and it's exactly the sort of lie we tell ourselves to try to post-hoc rationalize a decision that our bodies have made for us, and we want to believe we made for ourselves.

Jfc, imagine bringing a life in to this world for the sole purpose of them being a vehicle for your ambition to, what, have some "legacy" you've convinced yourself you have, live forever? 🤯🙄🤦‍♀️

And it's people like you who are then completely shocked and horrified when your kids don't want to any contact with you anymore, or when kids of people like you never want to reproduce because they don't want to inflict a similar existence on to anyone else..

Nope. That way lies delusions of grandeur. Life is short and I'd rather focus on living it today rather than worrying about a "legacy" I'll never experience.

If you want any part of you to achieve something past the one life you have, children are the only way ambition can continue

And that way lies the kind of entitlement that leads parents to think their children's lives are their own.

You aren't achieving anything past your life. Your kids are. Their ambition is theirs, not yours. Stop thinking you can take credit for it.

Lmao, I can't have dream that are further than next week. By the time my kids grow up, their dreams will be what, the next hour?

Let's be real here. You knew this going in. Condoms have existed for a while.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

I've had the opportunity to foster kids three times in my life, and every time I would wake up in the morning with this incredible sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Having someone who relies on you and trusts you and genuinely wants to be around you as much as possible gives a deep sense of meaning to my life.

Being around someone with this endless curiosity and boundless energy is invigorating. It makes me feel young, in turn. And it gives me an outlook on life I haven't had since I was very young, myself.

And babies are fucking adorable! I cannot express how crazy cute babies are. Everything they do makes me smile, even the gross things or the grumpy things, because they do it with such naked sincerity.

Currently working through the official adoption process with my wife, because we can't have kids the old fashioned way. And my only real regret is that we didn't do this shit ten years sooner.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Good for you.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Thank you so much for giving me the words to express my feelings better in the future. I could sign every sentence. We were lucky enough to be able to have kids the old fashioned way and I enjoy it to a degree I could not have fathomed before.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you two get through the adoption process fast and easy and that you will soon be happy long term parents to a wonderful child. Also, thank you for giving foster kids a loving home.

What are Condoms?: The Comic

My daughter is 4 and rolls her eyes at me at a highschool level.

Gross pizza cake has infested the fediverse

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Truly a shit comic.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 26 points 9 months ago

Is this the original text? I remember pizzacake being funny..

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 31 points 9 months ago

You remember that wrong.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 26 points 9 months ago

Careful, I remember somebody posting evidence some time back showing the author was some hyper passive aggressive person who'd sic their fanbase on you.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

Lmao, let them do their worst.. 😂

[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

I tried to find info on that but didn't see anything that supported this. Do you have a source or are you just repeating what you've heard?

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 4 points 9 months ago
[-] WldFyre@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

NGL that seems incredibly mild and doesn't really support your original claim.

[-] magnusrufus@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

The guys that push this story always leave out the loads of overt harassment that she did receive too.

It always strikes me as anomalous that there are some that feel compelled to comment that pizzacake isn't funny but don't bother expressing approval or disapproval of any other comics

The horny police take you down the horny road to horny jail. Where's all this horny infrastructure springing from?

[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

That's crazy. Imagine being the kid who discovers their mom made comics, featuring them - first discovering the comics were widespread but also widely criticized. Then while checking some of the comments, learning that your mom also sells nudes.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

The creator mentions it herself on Reddit constantly (or she used to a year ago when I still used it.).

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Why? I . . . I . . don’t know!

My mother once said "because of sex".
