I beg to differ.
If you would make a good hitwoman, there are SO many people that need to be killed these days.
Don’t let your talent go to waste!
I love my nieces and nephews, the best part of getting to watch them over a weekend is that I get to give them back.
Being the favourite uncle is honestly the best. Love seeing them, love giving them back.
I can give it my all for about 6 hours at a time. I could not do it 24/7
I kind of want to know what precipitated her high opinionon her assassination skills.
People have said this to me many times over the years. I assume because I’m female, and thus it’s my “job”.
My resulting conclusion is people are fucking stupid and don’t know what they are talking about.
See, I don’t like kids. I don’t like being around them, I don’t like hearing them, I don’t like trying to communicate something to them, and I just hate that they never stop making noise. I’m also wildly irresponsible, a terrible housekeep, too lazy to eat proper meals, have attachment issues and bonding issues from my own shitty neglectful childhood, and just all around exactly the sort of person you wouldn’t want raising kids. Not a nurturing bone in my body.
I got my tubes tied in my 20s and I’ve still been on hormones, to avoid as much chance as possible. I don’t want to ruin another life. I won’t even take baby animals anymore because I tend to give them issues. I only want adults with fully-formed personalities (animals and humans alike).
So they say “it’s such a shame you don’t have kids, you’d be a great mother” and are met with a simple “you wouldn’t say that if you knew me better…”
Just putting this out there for those that might (even unintentionally) blurt out something like that, however well-meaning it is: Don’t.
This can be a very sore topic for a lot of people, so it’s best to avoid it, unless you’re very close and your friend/coworker/family member shows clear signs that they want to talk about it.
It can be worse if it’s a family member or a close person that you know. Especially if they are privileged:
“It’s a shame you don’t have kids, I can see you love them!”
Why yes, of course! But you see? Where the fuck should I grow them? Under a bridge? Living in poverty? It’s rich, coming from you who got a house for free and don’t have to worry about a mortgage or a rent!
Seriously, never, EVER, bring that topic on someone, especially if you know them well. It’s not nice.
My coworkers: “Are you a mom? You’re so good with kids!”
Me: “Haha, no. If I were a mom, I wouldn’t have the energy to do this job.”
My coworkers: “Okay, fair point.”
I work with autistic and special needs children. I love it. The kids light up my days! But I also love that time after work when I’m home alone and can do whatever I feel like. I need my “me time” or I’d lose my mind.
Hats off to the parents out there, especially of special needs children. I see you, I feel your struggles, but I also see how awesome your kids are. I see so much talent in these little guys and it’s a joy to be part of their journey.
At the same time, I can imagine how stressful your day-to-day life must be, and damn, I salute you for it. From having to learn sign language, to changing diapers well beyond toddlerhood, to dealing with insurance to get medical devices, I admire your tenacity and flexibility in doing whatever it takes for the sake of your child.
Ugh. I have people keep asking me this, you could always say, “as soon as the US has a woman president” that’ll shut em up, because it will never ever happen.
Or just say, as soon as billionaire is a forgotten term in society along with the word “homeless”, then maybe I’ll think about it.
But even then, why bring suffering into the world on purpose? There’s million of starving unloved people (and dogs…) to adopt. Stop using monke brain for 2 seconds and actually help humanity instead of yourself.
Are we talking like Trump hitwoman? Or like CEO hitwoman?
Gives a whole new spin on ‘I put you into this world, I can take you out of it’
