Every taxpaying man is paying for other womens kids. Especially single moms.

When I learned in my teens that I had health problems which made pregnancy lethal for me (I was sterilized at 19), I sunk into a pretty deep depression over it, especially because my first job was at a daycare.

I mourn the fact that I can’t have children and that my financial situation won’t allow my husband and I to adopt or foster - We’re still living with family.

These articles infuriate me. I do all I can for the children in my life because I CAN’T have any - the author is just a self-centered t×atwaffle.

The cats would run away from her…

After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend’s apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it. Leaving felt less like a risk than a necessity.

What follows is a decadent, joyful, unexpected journey into one woman’s pursuit of radical enjoyment.

Oh you mean like my daughter who is a loving Aunt to her nieces and nephews. They must not know she is a creep.

Or the children could have been a whole mouthful of serpent’s teeth.

Thanks for those sayings.

I met a guy that motorcycles all over the place. (I was doing work in Alaska - he had been on the road for some crazy number of miles - from the NE USA).

He said the happiest people he ever met were Africans living in small villages out in the middle of the desert.
