Social Science Unpopular Opinions you have (non-football) Part II

[mr bagcroft]

I always say...I like kids, but I couldnt eat a whole one.

25 year relationship, no kids.
I can never fathom why anyone would EVER ask, friend,family, or foe.
Over 25 years, I cant even remember my family ever asking.
Just for the record, we didnt ******* want any ok ********** ????!!!!!
I would never ask anyone, ever. None of my ******* business.
People are just self absorbed campaigners these days.

 

[craigos]

if someone with small kids already asks you, you reply "well, we're waiting to see how yours turn out before we decide"

or

"As soon as I figure out how" maybe add, "Any tips, suggestions, or favourite positions?"

or

"Just as soon as I can direct some sperm to my eggs. Trouble is, it just tastes too damn good."

or

"As soon as the husband gets over his fetish for 'backdoor' lovin. If you know what I mean."

or


"There are thousands of couples, desperate to have a child, who struggle with infertility, mostly in silence. Every time they see smiling mommies at the playground, or go to a baby shower, it's a traumatic experience -- reminding them of the joy that they can't have.
I'm not going to tell you whether we're one of those couples or not, because it's not your business. I'm just going to tell you how hurtful your well-intentioned question is to someone who is.
Please don't ask me, or anyone else, again."

or

“I have a question for you first. How many times a day do you masturbate?” Why not, as long as we’re playing the game of Totally Invasive Questions Related to Your Sexual Health and Well-Being?

At least twice a day and three times on a Sunday, fyi.

Australia wins its first cricket test in 10 months and they celebrate like they've solved the world hunger crisis. Newsflash: one win doesn't paper the gigantic cracks the team have.

You seem to be a bit agitated and self absorbed with this post.

Maybe some kids could put things into perspective for you?

Life is just supposed to be a series of one development after another.

When are you having kids?
When are you getting married?
When are you moving out?
Are you going to have another?
When are you going overseas again?
Yadda yadda yadda.

Maybe that was a thing in the 50s but it's a long time ago and in modern culture 'Just enjoying each day as it comes right now' should be ok.

When are you going to take up cocaine?
When are you going to get some hookers?
When are you going to beat some <insert ethnic type>s?
When are you going to get out of prison?

Yep, I getcha.

A lot of guys will ask women they know the marriage and kids question. Rarely are either directed at men.

The last marriage q i asked was to my (male) cousin.

I would never ever ask anyone re kids tho. Not even family.

Will Ferrell is not funny.

I have a list of two actors i will never watch a movie that he is in.

He is one of them.

Daddy's home is ******* funny.

And you're trash talk of taken. There's only one response to that:

Will Ferrell and Liam Neeson. What a combo.

I like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, not really a fan of Ferrell's other ones. Ease up on Qui-Gon Jin though.

This used to really upset me when I was undergoing fertility treatment.

This is precisely why you shouldn't ask anyone when they're having kids. Particularly if they have been married for a while and appear like they "should" be having kids, chances are they're having issues.

 

[Scotland]

Marriage/kids questions are OK if you are in your 20s. 'Maybe down the track', 'Not sure yet' etc. are valid responses.

Into your 30s it's venturing into dangerous territory. I've got friends that took 12-18 months for the girl to fall pregnant. Took multiple IVF treatments and one that they thought was successful then wasn't (don't know the exact terminology) which took its toll on them. Can only imagine that someone asking 'so... when are you having kids?' would be a kick in the guts for them.

New car smell is s**t and gives you a headache.

I started being really honest when people would ask why we weren’t having babies yet.
“Because I have adenomyosis and polycystic ovaries. We’re seeing a fertility specialist.” And if I had a dollar for every time someone responded with “oh if you just relaaaaax it will happen!” I would have enough dollars for multiple ivf cycles.

*ers.

'You know you can always adopt'

Having never been in the position I'm only projecting but I reckon if someone said something about 'God's will' I'd probably snap.
