Reading a Reddit thread where this man married a woman who told him from the get-go that she didn't want to have kids and when she expressed that she wanted to get her tubes removed, he coerced her into having a kid. She has fairly obvious PPD and they're both having trouble bonding with the kid, so he wants to call CPS because she's not doing what he assumes she's supposed to do with the child.

I dated a woman 10 years ago who broke up with me because she really wanted kids (to the point where she needed a hip replacement, but was putting it off because she wanted to carry a child) and I didn't. I actually had convinced myself that I did want kids because I didn't want to break up with her.

Thank you, Sandi, for seeing through that and breaking my heart. It was horrible to go through at the time (though I know some of it was other things going on in my life like losing my job and my roommate requesting I move out), but holy shit, was that the right thing to do. It's very reassuring to look back and realize that 20-something Coley didn't know any better and 30-something Coley is child-free and living her best life with her NB spouse and dogs (ok, the cat is kind of an asshole sometimes, but she isn't that bad either). I clearly didn't know any better and was willing to settle because I didn't think I was going to find someone, but she recognized that and let me go. It did take a long time to find the person who is truly right for me (5 years!), but I did eventually and am thankful she wouldn't let me settle.

Everyone can agree that enjoying spending time with your kids makes you a good parent, but somehow, when you are child-free by choice, giving yourself permission to enjoy not being a parent makes you some kind of sub-human. If parents are allowed to find the joys in their “burden” of parenting, why then, should the child-free not find the joys in their “burden” as well? Also, parents are supposed to self-care by taking some time to themselves, but if you are child-free and express any interest in kids at any level, you are clearly surppressing your true desires to have children? Because we all just see a Mom at a bookstore by herself, and be like “Gee, I guess you secretly really wish you never had kids!” Right?

Jaboticaba from last nights Three Ring Circus, Modified, CFBC meeting. It was 3 trees, styled by 3 groups, switching trees several times during the process. We started and ended with this tree, and the design sure did change as it was passed around. Photos by @some_call_me_ben. #mybonsaiworld #bonsai #trees #cfbc #floridabonsai
