I think that if we just accept that people are cunts In that case it's our duty to out-cunt them. |

Having just moved to a new town, I am going through the joys of meeting new people and having the same question asked again and again - "And do you have kids?".
Firstly (and maybe this is the ass-burgers causing me to misunderstand yet another social construct), I said I moved here with my partner and dog, so I probably would have mentioned if we had kids with us, right? So why ask that question unless it's to imply that I should have kids? And secondly, why is it even a question you'd be asking a complete stranger in this day and age? I feel like telling them that in this current economy I had to sacrifice my firstborn in order to afford to buy my house, but that's probably not polite to discuss finances when only just meeting someone.

Doesn't sound like they are being polite to you though.
Other than inconsiderate arsehole I hope you new location is working well for you and your family (IE husband & dog - coz that is a legit family!)

It took forever for people to stop asking me "so when are you having another?" after Dark Jr. I think I still got asked this until Jr was about 15.
It was annoying af. Especially since I'd wanted more kids at one point and was married to someone who made me think he did too. But it turned out to be a good thing that I didn't have more kids with him.
We never used any bc from the time Jr was about 7 until we divorced 9 years later. I'd been checked by my doctor and there was no physical reason for me not to be getting pregnant. He liked to tell people "We're not trying but we're not preventing!" <eyeroll> Even though he flat out refused to go to the doctor to get himself checked out.
But the whole point of the matter is: THIS WAS NONE OF ANYONE'S FUCKING BUSINESS.

Thanks Novice, gotta say life is pretty good 🙂 Moved almost 2000kms, and I guess the inconsiderate assholes are going to be wherever you go, there were plenty in the place I left. I suppose it's a side effect of being around people. Which is why I avoid most of them! And yeah, it's 100% a legit family - you would think I was insane if I told you what we went through to bring her down here with us, but there was no way in hell I was going without her. She takes after me, too - she's anxious as all hell, on prozac, and verbalises every thought that crosses her mind. 😂 |

No I wouldn't MisRule - I lost my pupper in Feb & am still having trouble moving on from it so I am glad that you made so much of an effort to bring her with you. ❤️🥰

Oh Novice, I am so sorry to hear that. All of my love to you, it's such a hard loss. I lost my girl in my profile picture in 2020 and I don't think I'll ever be ok about it. I hope the memories you hold stay strong and bold in your heart, and that time helps ease the grief. 💔

Thanks. Don't be nice or I will just cry again. I still can't actually speak about it without crying. I don't really know what to do with myself & miss her so much.
I love that photo I hadn't realised that it was your own dog. So sorry for your loss too ❤️🩹
