Tbh, your own body can prevent you from doing the former.

Same. I got blackout drunk twice in my life, the second time I spent most of the next day in the ER because I couldn't even keep water down. The older I got, the less I could tolerate alcohol, to the point I would get sick and vomit before I could get to the point of blackout. I very rarely drink anymore now and it's only one drink at the time at most. 

Yeah, I get the guilt. I, too, had it when I was unemplyoed and wasn't financially independent. 

I know a few stay at home partners/spouses and all act the same: highly demanding and think they're better than everyone else because their partners are high earners despite never achieving anything in life. That's why it personally gives me the ick. Kudos to anyone who is in that situation, but doesn't act entitled. 

How do people feel about stay at home spouses without kids? Is that something that is generally frowned upon?

Counter question. Care to explain how this would work on global scale? For instance, how would travelling for leisure work?

I don't know where you're from, but the title sounds like such a German thing to do 😂

Same in Austria. Noticed our Lidl removed the coin/token slot recently.

My father would beg to differ. Some of the things I've heard: "who's going to take care of you when you're old", "the ~~undesirable~~ immigrants with 5+ children will take over ~~and ruin Europe~~". He also told me I was being selfish when I was barely 18 for stating I didn't want to have children because carrying a child for 9 months and childbirth terrify me. That shit still terrifies me to this day, on top of all the other reasons why I still don't want to have children.

Also, according to him the feelings a parent has for their child are "unexplainable". That must be why my mom and and his mom were more a part of my childhood than he was!

It's insane, isn't it? Especially when it comes from a fellow woman.

I had a pre-syncope and could barely get out of bed for a week and a half. When I told my doctor I'm worried about it reoccurring because I don't know the cause of it, she just smiled and said that's something that would be hard to diagnose and that I shouldn't live in fear. And I'm like ??? Your job is literally to diagnose. I also have a few chronic illnesses, so I tend to feel up and down. She straight up told me it's just anxiety and I should be grateful I don't have any serious illnesses.

Unfortunately, she's not the only one like that. Just recently I had a doctor tell me such nonsense that's debunked with a 2 second internet search that I questioned whether he got his license off Temu.

Too many misogynists and narcissists in the field.

A formal state apology was issued in 2014, and a compensation scheme for survivors was set up by the Irish Government, which by 2022 and after an extension of the scheme had paid out €32.8 million to 814 survivors.[4] The religious orders which operated the laundries have rejected appeals, including from victims and Ireland's Justice Minister, to contribute financially to this programme.[5]

Shocking. /s

This goes well with "We've all got the same 24 hours", as if someone who has to work two jobs to support themselves and their family is in the same situation as someone who lives off of inheritance or rich partner and doesn't have to work.
