"No more tossing your covers off and freezing at night" well why toss em off if it's freezing?!

[–]bar10005 20ポイント21ポイント  (26子コメント)

Well, your body at sleep isn't really foreseeing, so most people will toss covers even if they are a bit overheated, but without the cover at all, maybe you aren't freezing, but will be probably cold after waking up.

I feel like no matter what temperature I am during the night I always wake up sweating

I used to sweat like a motherfucker most nights. I cut out eating carbs a few hours before sleeping, and that helped a lot.

That's something I could definitely try.

[–]shoryukenist 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

Fuck that bro. I find eating a few bags of potato chips (365 days a year, even on Thanksgiving) at 11pm or after has really helped my sweat problem. I sweat all the time, not just at night.

I always wake up drenched in sweat sandwiched between two of my cats.

Shut up, I'm 4'10" so I'm small enough to be sandwiched between 6-pound cats.

I think the target audience is for kids that thrash in their sleep. I know I did that a lot; still do. Growing up I would go to sleep with my stuffed animal, blankets, and pillows all arranged nicely and wake up to them ALL on the floor, pillows included. Now my girlfriend occasionally complains I punch her in the face while I'm asleep, and I still find my pillows on the floor once in a while.

I was sitting in bed one day and realized that I had a cigarette in one hand and acetone in the other.

I am not a smart woman.

[–]Mathlete86 20ポイント21ポイント  (5子コメント)

But there's even a convenient pouch for the kids to store their cigarettes and one hitter boxes. The Zippy Sack is practically telling kids to not only smoke but to do so in bed.

[–]real-dreamer 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

What is a one hitter?

[–]Mathlete86 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's a small, metal pipe that is the shape of a cigarette and you jam it into tobacco (or other things) and it allows you to take one hit at a time because you load less into it before clearing it. Thus the name.

I always though it was "act mean like a looney toon"

[–]Scrubtanic 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I believe he uses "ACME" because it sounds very close to "act me," as in he's not being fake, he's just acting like himself. A lot of Gambino's lyrics come back to him rapping about things he actually likes in his real life, not faking his way to popularity by acting like he's something he's not. ACME, of course, is the brand of products Wily Coyote uses in the Roadrunner shorts, hence the reference to Looney Tunes, so it makes a little more sense than "act mean."

Then again, as I'm typing it out now, it's more likely he says "act me" and relies on the listener to hear "ACME" to make the reference work, but putting it in text that way wouldn't have made much sense to someone reading it.

I read about it over a month ago, still think about it half the time when I get my kid out of his seat. Those buttons are difficult to push, I always remember that the kid scratched himself up because he was desperately trying to get the thing unbottoned.

[–]thisisrediculou 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

Full agreement, fuck him. I can understand if you decide having a kid is not for you or is too overwhelming but that's what adoption agencies are for. He was supposed to be the person who protects that child and not only did he kill him, he did it slowly in one of the worst ways imaginable.

[–]This_User_Said 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Stop. Please. Makes me want to hold my son and never even let him near a car seat. There are unimaginable hell that people like that guy deserve to be thrown and strapped down into. I hope he learns his lesson. I've never believed in heaven or hell, but for once I hope there is a Hell. Just for that guy. I can't even think of anything he deserves that would even equal to punishment here on this Earth. What he deserves is a most painful, agonizing, infinite, damn able Hell.

Edit: Phone would rather say "Hello" than "Hell". Figures.

That is a horrifying story. Holy cow. I just can't even imagine letting the kid sit in the car and slowly die. Not only that but he got into the car a couple times and drove places, with his dead kid in the back seat.

[–]not_a_big_fan_of_GOT 41ポイント42ポイント  (10子コメント)

I'm just not understanding the hate that /r/childfree got after that incident. More social support and better access to contraception for people who don't want kids—which is what the sub's all about—would prevent a lot of infanticide/child murder cases. Did redditors just assume that /r/childfree had somehow given the guy murder tips?

[–]FluffySharkBird 26ポイント27ポイント  (2子コメント)

I hate how hateful people get towards /r/childree. I use to go on it all the time because I felt very alone in a lot of ways in my life. It helped at least that I wasn't the only person who doesn't want kids. There was just a huge threat on /r/relationships about this guy who's wife tried ti give their kids up for adoption and how she told him when they met that she didn't really want kids. People go on and on about how it's "different when they're your own" but if being biologically related is the reason people love their kids I want no part in that. Maybe it is different when they're your own. Maybe for you. But maybe not for me. I'm not taking any chances because that would mean gambling over a child's happiness.

Sorry for the rant but this just gets me.

[–]BigBassBone 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's because of the hostility the /r/childfree community has towards people who choose to be parents and to their children. Don't want children? Fine. Don't call other people's kids crotch droppings.

[–]cadika_orade 112ポイント113ポイント  (41子コメント)

I don't have any links, but you could probably Google it.

Apparently these parents were sick of their toddler, so when the father went to work he "forgot" to take the kid to daycare and left it in the car seat the entire day, in the sun.

The best part was that the wife called for medical help before the husband "discovered" what had happened and called her. Surveillance cameras also showed him going out to check inside his car several times during the day.

Apparently, police found he was browsing /r/childfree just prior to the incident, and had the subreddit locked as evidence. It was down about a week, I think.

Now, /r/childfree would never suggest actually harming a child. We just really, really hate kids, crappy entitled parents, and people insisting that we will want kids someday and that you can't love anything until you've had a child.

[–]Zaranthan 38ポイント39ポイント  (18子コメント)

As a father, this is what drives me up the wall. This shit's not for everybody, and there's nothing fucking wrong with that. I've seen some shit, and just like nobody looks down their nose at me for not joining the marines, I don't look down my nose at somebody who doesn't want to clean puke at 3 AM.

Some of us don't necessarily hate kids - We just absolutely don't want to have them.

I feel like it's pretty well accepted though that none of us wish harm on any children, just maybe their entitled parents could use a punch to the face for certain situations :)

[–]RelevantComics 48ポイント49ポイント  (2子コメント)

[–]o0i81u8120o 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm a parent and we don't expect special treatment just as much as you dont. But I do expect the same common courtesy for my kids as any other human gets. Unless their being a prick. But you have to remember even adults can have bad days and act out. Also I hate that families ask people when they're gonna have kids. It just isn't for everyone.

[–]PhosphorescentWave 286ポイント287ポイント  (121子コメント)

I'm a proponent of the child free lifestyle. I love it and have no regrets. I subbed to /r/childfree thinking it was more about the celebration of the lifestyle, talking about all the great things you can do as an adult without kids.

There was some of that, but for the most part it was a circlejerk of how children (and parents) are all awful. And some of the members were just downright toxic. Fuck that community.

[–]black_pepper 91ポイント92ポイント  (24子コメント)

I agree it is about 50/50 but I can understand the need to have a place you can circlejerk. Where else can they do that? Most of the population feels that having children is their sole purpose in life and its what give meaning to their existence. When you say no I don't agree the reactions can be simple to downright nasty. I think this is where the atheism and childfree groups draw very similar parallels. There are quite a large number of people who are openly hostile against those who do not believe in a higher power. Just as there are those that are openly hostile against people who chose not to have children. So for these two groups to be hostile in return isn't surprising.

[–]killswithspoon 235ポイント236ポイント  (35子コメント)

/r/childfree is to not wanting kids as /r/atheism is to not believing in God(s).

My wife and I are "childfree" and she subs there, but most of the posts she reads me are thathappened.txt-tier cringefests at best to downright toxic at worst.

[–]oneofmywhitefriends 47ポイント48ポイント  (34子コメント)

Yeah. Don't really understand why not having kids has to be a "movement" of some sort. I know a lot of people who say they don't want kids because they're no good with kids, or they're a big responsibility, or they just plain don't like children (which I find really hard to understand but oh well) and none of them are assholes about it because why would you be?

/r/childfree has issues.

[–]LadyLilena 166ポイント167ポイント  (20子コメント)

It's generally expected of everyone stable enough to have children. Got married? "When are you having a kid?" Say you don't want to have children? "They're different when they're your own, you'll regret it if you don't have them, you'll change your mind.." It goes on. Most of /r/childfree I feel is just venting frustrations to people who also don't want children and understand the criticism they face daily on the matter.

I know a lot of people think it's just all about hate... but it's mostly just an /r/offmychest for people who don't want kids.

[–]toadfan64 55ポイント56ポイント  (12子コメント)

Exactly. I know I don't want kids and while sometimes the sub gets its cringeworthy posts, I really do enjoy reading about other people's experiences and attitudes in that sub.

[–]Cynoid 20ポイント21ポイント  (1子コメント)

The stuff that reaches /r/all from /r/childfree is absolutely cringeworthy every time it seems. Like who the fuck cares that a mom had the audacity to ask you to let her kid press the elevator button and you shit on that kid's dream by doing it yourself? It's absolutely baffling that shit like that makes it to the top anywhere.

[–]toadfan64 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

Of course that shit is ridiculous, but the majority of the threads I read there are legit complaints like family being relentless to a daughter or son who doesn't want a kid, co-workers thinking they that their days off are more important because they have kids, and just stuff in a similar vein.

[–]iSHOODApulldOUT 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

You hit the nail on the head my friend. People see something that contradicts their world view causing them to freak and become hostile. Anyone who is open minded can see on their own exactly what you are saying. Sadly that's not the case with most people.

[–]Oranges13 40ポイント41ポイント  (5子コメント)

If you're a man, you really don't understand how it is. As this is the internet, I don't know your gender but in general women get the "pressure" to have children more than men do.

As a woman, its infuriating that people feel that my sex life and reproductive system are their personal business.

[–]oneofmywhitefriends 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

I am a boy yes.

I understand that it must be frustrating. Nobody should dictate to you whether you should have children or not. I failed to realize that some people really care about others' lives like that - I've never encountered it, which is why I was unsure.

[–]AmyBA 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just to add on to what she is saying, I am woman in my 30s. I have literally had other women and men tell me I should just kill myself since I chose not to have children, because I took all meaning/worth out of my life when I made that choice. While this is on the extreme end of things and not as common, its happened to me a handful of times when it shouldn't have happened at all.

I more often just get people telling me how broken I am, how they feel so sorry for someone as damaged as me, and how they wonder what must have happened to me to mess me up so much in the head.

When my husband was in the military, and his "friends" found out I was childfree, they tried to convince him to divorce me and find a better woman. They tried to tell him that he was wasting his time with someone like me and he needed to find someone willing to give him children or he would regret it. He too is childfree and of course stuck up for me, but the fact that people have to audacity to be that way still hurts.

I know people who have been disowned by their entire families because they didn't have children. Hell, most of my family has disowned me and written me off as a lost cause because I chose not to (they are some of the people who have called me broken, one of my older cousins was one of the people who told me I might as well kill myself when she found out I got sterilized), only my mother and one of my aunts still speak to me.

The sub is a huge fucking circlejerk, but that is really okay to me. Its a place where we can commiserate, vent, bitch, complain and just get rid of these frustrations we have to deal with silently day to day, because we can't talk to most other people about it. To most people children are sacred and anyone who dares speak a negative word in regards to them is a monster and gets treated as such, and most people seem to take "I don't want children" as an insult to them.

[–]BaadKitteh 12ポイント13ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's really infuriating and ridiculous- I have a son, and for the first 10 years of his life I was harassed by pretty much everyone in both families to have another one because "blah blah only child cliches blah". Never mind that it was unlikely for me to ever have any kids at all with my reproductive issues and that's the main reason why I kept my one successful pregnancy; lets pile on with guilt that I don't want to do it again.

[–]oneofmywhitefriends 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's horrible and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm really shocked to hear that this is apparently common in other countries. (are you American as well?)

[–]CaptJYossarian 29ポイント30ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you really find it that hard to understand why some people do not like children, then of course you are not going to understand what draws people to /r/childfree. It's just a place for people to vent, much like the rest of the subs on this site. Why wouldn't there be a community like that, even if half of it is shit talking. Child-free people get a ton of shit, why should we get more for talking about it or poking fun at the people that are assholes about it?

[–]heya_corknut 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nah it's easy to explain. People wanted to be validated in their life choices. This is not making a judgement on either having kids or not having kids, but people just want to be validated.

[–]EdwardJCortez 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not to say this as an attack against you, just that from my perspective it absolutely should be a legitimate movement, not just a private belief. The reasons I believe that are several: I believe that as a society, we really don't think critically about following the conventional path as much as we should.

There is a serious overpopulation issue in the world which is causing a drain on natural resources, particularly non-renewable ones. This is especially true in poor and unstable nations.

There is a macro economic issue: Who is going to employ all of these extra people, in a world where jobs are increasingly being mechanized? Are we creating a whole generation of people who will end up out of work and on welfare?

There are financial consequences to families having more kids than they can afford (even 1, for people who are very poor), leading to long term poverty, and potentially resorting to crime to make ends meet.

There are, especially important, social harms that are committed by bad, abusive, and neglectful parents; parents whom society would be better off if they chose not to have kids. ["Chose" is the key word here. I'm not advocating sterilization or anything crazy like that!]

And then there are a lot of people who simply don't really want kids, but they have them anyway because of societal pressure. This type of pressure is sexist (it disproportionately burdens women), overbearing, and irresponsible, and it needs to stop: Think about it, if a person isn't absolutely ready and willing to have kids, they probably aren't ready for the responsibilities of parenthood, are they? And what about the interests of the children--don't kids deserve parents who are very loving and happy, rather than parents who are distant or resentful because they weren't able to pursue their own dreams?

Sorry for the long rant, but I think if people thought a little more about the consequences of reproducing without careful thought and long term planning, we would all be better off.

[–]oneofmywhitefriends 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I absolutely agree that people should be absolutely sure that they are the ones who want a child (not society wanting them to have a child) and furthermore that they absolutely want to take care of that child.

I'm not advocating that people should just have as many kids as possible without even considering it twice - that's stupid. People should be prepared to be good, loving parents and if they think they can't rise to the standard then they simply shouldn't have children (even if they may want them).

I am just saying that I fail to see the point of a sub like /r/childfree. All it is is people who don't have or want children complaining about the fact that they are, we have to admit, the minority in this world and that a lot of other people have children and are happy about it. Yes, a lot of parents can be annoying with their constant talk about their new baby or their little princess or how one of them is expecting. So just don't listen to them. There's people out there who just won't shut up about their cars or how awesome their job is, that sort of behavior isn't necessarily a "parent thing". Personally I'd much rather hear about a unique little person than a mass-produced hunk of metal that rolls around on wheels. But I understand that's me and there are some people who just don't like children. Perfectly fine and I'm not saying they have to change to make me comfortable - I'm just saying I don't understand them or their subreddit.

This entire paragraph sums up the sub-conscious narcissism that parents generate because their brains defaulted to "make family".

Meh, I don't subscribe there but I do like to support the sub. If you're away having fun in your childfree life, you're not going to have time to post on some subreddit. But if you've had a rubbish day mostly because entitled parents are trying to force their lifestyle on you, or your parents won't accept that you don't want kids, r/childfree is a brilliant place for a rant.

If you can't talk to the people around you because they're telling you "you'll change your mind, don't be silly", the sub can be a nice safe haven with like-minded people.

Some of the lingo on there is cringeworthy though- I have to stop reading posts when they talk about "demon spawn" and "crotchfruit"! Like, I never want children, and I hate being around them, but I don't want all children to burn in hell or anything.

It's basically to parenting as /r/atheism is to religion. There is some decent content, but a lot of content that unfairly demonizes and generalizes an entire group. But it's also a place for people who have no or few other outlets for that kind of anger. So whatever floats their boat.

I'm a parent, but I understand SOME of the things /r/childfree people complain about. Parents who bring small children to movies or nice restaurants deserve a kick in the baby-making parts, but not all parents/children are bad. Some of us are rational adults who know better than to ruin other peoples day because we can't comprehend the concept of a babysitter.

I've brought my two kids (2 and 4) to nice restaurants and they have been well behaved (except when my son flirts with the female wait staff). Why is it folks automatically get up in arms when they see a dining kid outside a family style restaurant? Yes, I have seen kids act up. I've also seen plenty if kids like mine who are just chill. We've been bringing our kids to restaurants from when they were very little to get used to the experience and properly behave.

Meanwhile, I've seen really shitty adults (with no kids) act like total entitled asshole in fine dining establishments as well.

Usually its babies that are a problem. I've seen people bring infants to horror movies. Nevermind that loud movies are bad for their ears. And babies in nice restaurants are also a don't. Behaved or not, babies cry, often for no reason (we both know this). It's just one of those things you accept that you can't do without getting a babysitter.

I said earlier it should be renamed to r/shittyparents. A lot of shit they complain about are the same shit that any normal parent would complain about too.

"oh you hate that loud crying kid running around the restaurant? Yeah I hate that shit too."

[–]randomsnark 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

but where else can you hate on crotchfruit and fucktrophies

[–]smashblu 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Being child free is part of my lifestyle, I don't talk about it or care what other people do. /r/childfree constantly bitches about kids/parents but personally I pay no mind to either. Similarly, I'm atheist but I have no desire to talk about my lack of religion. These thing are part of me but don't define me.

I went there hoping I could get some advice/support on how to still be friends with my best friend who just had a kid, while maintaining my own boundaries of not being comfortable with kids at all - what I found was disparaging nicknames like "mombie" thrown around, and a lot of posts complaining about kids being loud in public. I respect my friend and her choices, I just want to figure out how to deal. I guess it's good for people to have a place to vent, but that sub is so exclusionary.

[–]arostganomo 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sorry you had a bad experience. Posts like the one you wanted to submit are definitely welcome, we get them often and they usually don't attract the kind of comments that turned you off. There is also /r/truechildfree, which is much more mellow.

[–]SnoopDogTheDank 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ugh, the worst ones are the "I made a child cry LOL" posts. It's not funny, it's just being an asshole.

[–]iSHOODApulldOUT 11ポイント12ポイント  (9子コメント)

More like best subreddit. Give me your downvotes, I eat that shit for breakfast. /s.

But in all honesty, most people there just want to focus on their education/career and achieve their dreams. Its very common for people to set aside their previous lives when they have to raise a child.

Yes I'm subbed to them, but that doesn't mean I (or they) hate children. It just finally feels nice to find a like minded group of people who aren't going to say "Oh you'll want children one day, you won't know joy without them." I don't even bring up the fact that I'm getting a vasectomy and don't ever want children to others because of the beat down I get from people who's lives revolve around their mini humans.

I find it funny how the majority (not all) of parents try to tell me that I can't make an informed and solid decision about children as a 20 year old but the 15 year old pregnant girl is responsible for choosing to keep her kid. Like really people?

I apologize for the rant, that's not how I intended it to sound, but the hate on /r/childfree isn't deserved.

Just clicked one of the links to the sub to see if anything had changed. Top comment on top story uses the term crotch fruit. Yup, I'm happily child free but have no interest in reading the type of vitriol that is in every post there.

It wasn't, the mod temporarily privated it expecting an influx of trolls, as there's only so much moderation a single mod can do.

This is the first time I've gone to that subreddit. Never realized how much of a circlejerk it is.

That sub isn't really about not having children, its bitching about parents and kids with bad behavior.

[–]stay_fr0sty 75ポイント76ポイント  (7子コメント)

When I was here a while ago, this sub was about people complaining about people that tell them that they should have kids.

[–]jeffseadot 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's also a fume hood (that is, a place for venting). And a resource for finding things like a doctor who will sterilize you instead of giving you a condescending sermon about how you'll change your mind in five years.

[–]OfficerTwix 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Most of the content is fake stories or exagerated stories about kids.

Really though, I think the anti-childfree circlejerk is louder than childfree itself. The whole point is accepting and respecting that people have the choice whether to have kids or not, not LOL KIDS R DUM as much as everyone on here says.

[–]Gordon-Goose 12ポイント13ポイント  (1子コメント)

You say that, but right now (as with any time I've been there) only 1 of the top 10 posts are about acceptance, the other 9 are circlejerking about how much they hate kids and parents. I'm sure it'll be the same tomorrow and the next day etc.

[–]metilco 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

Even so, I think people have the right to bitch about stuff that happens to them somewhere as long as it's not spilling into other places or rudely out of context. Similar to TrollX, TrollY, etc type subs.

I tried to send this to my SO because he does not like children. But I forgot that you can't send gifs over text. So I sent him a photo of a small girl sleeping in bed. And nothing else.

Did /r/childfree link this thread or something? I can't see anyplace on reddit calling parents "breeders" normally being upvoted.

I honestly can't tell if the guy you are replying to is serious or taking the piss. So it is either fantastic satire or he's a moron.

Shame this post isn't allowed in r/childfree I think they would enjoy it

Not really, we enjoy things with a bit more effort.

EDIT: cheesus people, I meant more effort than showing a red X over a picture of a kid, didn't realize that was so controversial...

[–]rae2108 23ポイント24ポイント  (6子コメント)

Like ranting about entitled parents you mean?

[–]lilbluehair 4ポイント5ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah, that's much more entertaining than a red X over a kid.

Sure, but rants like that are better than a picture of a kid with an X over it. Obviously.
