I saw all of the photos of everyone's family for Easter and the Easter activities they were doing like egg decorating. I was so relieved that I actually felt no jealousy or regret, and was happy that I didn't have to do all that Easter stuff for a kid's sake. I built a table and introduced my mom to VR which she loved and now we are going to have VR hangouts. Feeling content 😌

Her first time putting them on she almost fell over with excitement in just the menu section haha. But now she is getting the hang of it! We had a hangout tonight and it was great. Glad she is adventurous to give it a shot!

I got my dog a personalized easter basket with toys and all his instafriends celebrated with him. That’s all the parenting I care to do✌️

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship. It feels like he’s not factoring me or the baby into his decisions (e.g. going on a 4d boys trip, attending big events), while I’m left with the consequences. My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead

Hi,

I am 31. Married for 12 years. I spoke to my doctor two days ago about sterilization. It was the first time a gynecologist didn't judge me for that. I know they're supposed to council because of the risk of regret, but sometimes they seem judgy. I am considering getting my tubes tied, but my husband isn't super on board because of the finality of it.

He is ok with not having kids, but seems to think I will change my mind.

Anyone taken this step without having had a y children?
