Step 1: Remove fembot from your vocabulary.

Just this one time, I’ll let myself imagine that he only uses “fembot” when posting on 4chan, and that he’ll grow out of it soon.

I wanna think this kid’s niece changes him for the better.

He's still only a teenager, after all

20

??

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

It’s late and I’m tired. I thought he said his older sister was 20. That would have made him a teenager.

Thank you. I’ll fix it!

This reminds me of the comment "you refer to women as bitches"

Like people actually think people walk around talking exactly like they would on the Internet. Yeah let's ignore the fact that a lot of popular media refers to women as bitches

It's a post on robot9000. A user is referred to as a robot, hence the term fembot.

Hopefully it's just 4chan lingo. However I've learned not to give Anon the benefit of the doubt most times.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also, "just" 4chan lingo includes a whole lot of absolutely awful language.

Problem is he only got to experience the fun part. Not the sleepless nights, diaper changing, huge expenses, all that stuff

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I'm happy just being an uncle.

I found that stage very boring cause they're basically a slug and it's the same cycle on repeat, was on parental leave and had way more time to myself than I did just working a normal job. Back to work toddler stage was the most financially draining because of daycare but the government reimbursement program made it very affordable. It's definitely more fun when they're able to communicate and have opinions and stuff, and never had a serious problem with behavioral issues. They just can't regulate their emotions or know what they are really so you have to teach them all that.

I'd say for the most part the downsides I hear from younger people without kids are sort of based on naive anxieties that any new parent goes through. Financial concerns are legit although the US is notoriously bad for supporting new parents. We had 18 months fully paid parental leave to split for example. The real downsides are that it takes more intention and planning to do things, but there's even an upside to that in that you condense a lot of what you enjoy and use the time way more effectively. It's like well maybe that thing isn't really that important, and this other thing really is important. It puts a microscope up to your daily life basically and I think that's what causes the anxiety for people who envision what having kids is like.

It definitely shakes the snow globe of life up and I wouldn't even say that's a good thing for everyone, but also nobody is better or worse because of whether they have kids or not. I hate those remarks parents have sometimes like "oh they don't have kids so you know" and you can feel that distain and jealousy in their voice.

Yeah, I’m an American which is why I included the part about expenses lol

[–] alilbee@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought it said "femboy" instead of "fembot" and it was much funnier :(

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Femboys are breedable too right.......

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

The r/childfree comments here is pathetically funny

That is the hormone poisoning kicking in. The cure is a good night sleep.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I’m sure he's going to make some lucky vaporeon very happy.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Nothing else will make you want to be a dad like being a temporary dad.

Also, nothing else will make you not want to be a dad like being a temporary dad.

I love playing with my nieces/nephews but as soon I get tired I can just shove them back to their parents.
