“Why can’t you give up untold amounts of money, free time, peace/quiet, lack of stress, and freedom so I can have my grandkids around for a few hours a week? Stop being so selfish.”
Also, why don’t you want to bring new human beings in a world that we have destroyed, that will struggle when I’ll be gone and you’ll be powerless to help? So selfish
These are also the people who either disappear anytime their kids need help with the kids, or else were such terrible parents they’re the last person on earth their kids would leave alone with their children.
Replace the “or else” with an “and” and you are describing my parents.
I guess saying it’s in my selfish son’s ballsack wouldn’t have the same effect.
Yeah, because all of the pee that’s stored there, right?
But…that’s realistically where they ACTUALLY are. If the grandchild is already inside the daughters overies, that means she’s already pregnant. Which means, in order to be selfish, that would mean she’s just NOT allowing a 9+ month old child to be born. Like the contractions start, and the mother shoves her hand in, and shoves the kid back up there.
“Oh no you don’t! You STAY in there!!! I don’t care if it’s been 96 months! MOMMIES STILL PREGNANT!!!”
I mean, the kids are neither in a ballsack nor the ovaries.
If you consider a fertilized egg a child, which you shouldn’t, they would be in the uterus.
If it’s inside an ovary, the mother’s going to die.
You guys need some anatomy lessons. Women are born with all the oocytes (eggs) they will ever have. They don’t make them on demand like dudes do sperm. So it is entirely accurate to say any children a woman will have are already in her ovaries, barring circumstances like surrogacy, adoption, etc.
I’m not saying that eggs are not inside the ovaries, I’m saying that eggs are not children.
I mean, sperm aren’t children either.
Which is what I said in my post that uid0grid0 responded to, saying that I needed anatomy lessons.
Sperm is not a child.
An egg is not a child.
A fertilized egg is also not a child, but some people think it is.Some people also don’t take this anywhere that serious and y’all’s conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I’m sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.
These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don’t literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.
And neither are fetuses. Birth turns a fetus into a child. His grandchildren don’t exist yet.
Okay, there are just multiple layers of bad women’s anatomy in the original post and in the comments.
Eggs are in the ovaries. Without hormonal birth control, generally one egg (but sometimes more and sometimes none) is released from the ovary, travels down the fallopian tube, and if it is fertilized, implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it passes out of the uterus, the uterine lining is shed (that’s menstruation), and the process repeats the following month.
There is no “grandchild” in an ovary, any more than there is a “grandchild” in a testicle.
And if a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus, that’s an ectopic pregnancy – which is not viable because only the uterus has the capability to grow with and provide nourishment to a developing fetus. Not only that, but ectopic pregnancies are generally fatal to the mother (or however that person identifies).
Ah, but we all seem to have forgotten: pee is stored in the balls.
Taps head
Y’all reacting to this with no context or anything.
I’m sure most of us know someone who would 100% give a sticker like this jokingly to their parent, and the parent thinking it’d be a laugh to slap on the car.
I sure as hell do.
So for all y’all know, this is a joke that you arent in on and getting pissed over.
Waiting for context? In MY internet?!
My selfish daughter won’t go through childbirth, and raise a child to adulthood and beyond in a world that is getting harder to live in so I can be “gran-gran.” The bitch. /s
Are you sure it isn’t “Grandpa?” Because that’s how I read it.
As a selfish daughter, I think this is hilarious tbh.
But I also have a mother who understands and fully supports my and my partner’s reproductive choices and I probably would not feel that way if circumstances were different.
I hope he daughter has gone no contact. If you want kids this bad, adopt.
I will just never understand the desire people have to be in total control of others.
Yes it’s my children who are selfish! Never me, couldn’t be me at all
Then just make a new kid yourself, mister/missus, and show you daughter how it’s done.
Jesus, this is insane.
You can already imagine what this lady/guy looks and acts like in her/his daily life.
I’d disown her
I feel like there are a ton of assumptions being made in this comment section. When I first saw it I thought it was funny and imagined a much more light hearted relationship between that woman and her daughter.
Someone that places a sticker that unaligned on their car can’t be a good person! /s
Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish…
Maybe you shouldn’t have neglected me, slut shamed me, and let my cousins make me strip for all of them at once at 4 years old? (Not you you, OP)
My parents and aunt insisted my cousin and I take a bath together once. To this day I still can’t figure out what the hell they were thinking. I didn’t want to, but they wouldn’t take no for an answer. Basically forced us to do it. I was like 7 or 8. So damned weird. My cousin wanted to, for whatever reason. But I’m not mad at him, he was like 5 or 6.
Well your generation made housing unobtainable… Play a stupid game win a stupid prize
And healthcare is exorbitantly expensive.
You mean all this racist objection to common sense healthcare and using housing as an investment vehicle have consequences?
That can’t be it. It must be marginalized group’s fault. That’s the only explanation /s
