"Why can't you give up untold amounts of money, free time, peace/quiet, lack of stress, and freedom so I can have my grandkids around for a few hours a week? Stop being so selfish."

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 106 points 1 month ago

Also, why don't you want to bring new human beings in a world that we have destroyed, that will struggle when I'll be gone and you'll be powerless to help? So selfish

These are also the people who either disappear anytime their kids need help with the kids, or else were such terrible parents they're the last person on earth their kids would leave alone with their children.

I don't know if I find it more abhorrent that someone would proudly display an opinion so needlessly angry, or that there exists a company that is profiting off these assholes by providing such a miserable sticker.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 month ago

It's a lot of words to say "I'm a selfish asshole."

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

I'm okay with the print company. It lets us see from a distance what kind of asshole we're dealing with.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sticker companies will sell blue lives matter and ACAB merch.

There are places you can design your bumper sticker. And if you have a good enough printer you can print them yourself

Now I want a "my grandchildren are still in my selfish sons huge balls"

You know what's fucked?

Women can say that babies make their ovaries twitch and that's totally fine.

But if a man says that babies make their dick hard, everyone loses their mind.

What's that all about?

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, we don't get off through stimulating our ovaries for one lmao

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 month ago

Maybe you don't.

Well your generation made housing unobtainable.. Play a stupid game win a stupid prize

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And healthcare is exorbitantly expensive.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean all this racist objection to common sense healthcare and using housing as an investment vehicle have consequences?

That can't be it. It must be marginalized group's fault. That's the only explanation /s

Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish...

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 month ago (14 children)

I guess saying it’s in my selfish son’s ballsack wouldn’t have the same effect.

Obviously this person was too selfish to have enough children to produce grandchildren.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

My selfish daughter won't go through childbirth, and raise a child to adulthood and beyond in a world that is getting harder to live in so I can be "gran-gran." The bitch. /s

there are quite a few people who seem to want to be mothers more than they want to actually have kids.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (10 children)

Some of our programming is hard to resist. If it wasn't, there would be a lot less of us around!

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I mean no offence but I find your username horrifying.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Best compliment I've had all day!

I would be ok with there being less of us around. I would be VERY ok with that.

I will just never understand the desire people have to be in total control of others.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 12 points 1 month ago

Yes it's my children who are selfish! Never me, couldn't be me at all

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 19 points 1 month ago

That is so gross

[–] parapsyker@startrek.website 16 points 1 month ago

As a selfish daughter, I think this is hilarious tbh.

But I also have a mother who understands and fully supports my and my partner's reproductive choices and I probably would not feel that way if circumstances were different.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

please stop being selfish and suffer 360 days of the year so that I can play with my grandchildren the remaining 5 days

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Y'all reacting to this with no context or anything.

I'm sure most of us know someone who would 100% give a sticker like this jokingly to their parent, and the parent thinking it'd be a laugh to slap on the car.

I sure as hell do.

So for all y'all know, this is a joke that you arent in on and getting pissed over.

Then just make a new kid yourself, mister/missus, and show you daughter how it's done.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Jesus, this is insane.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Dude I'd love to have kids but I'm fuckin broke with no career. The selfish thing for me to do is have kids anyway and leave them with my parents.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like there are a ton of assumptions being made in this comment section. When I first saw it I thought it was funny and imagined a much more light hearted relationship between that woman and her daughter.

I mean, yeah. These are the kind of people whose skeletons should be found on the couch in front of a still running television by whoever shows up to evict them for failure to pay taxes because they didn't have anyone in their lives willing and able to put them in a home.

Bedsore Meadows is the luxurious death option.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

I hope he daughter has gone no contact. If you want kids this bad, adopt.
