the non-capitalist first-world countries have solved this problem by universally having a much higher mean age of first childbirth, which drops gradually as average poverty approaches Chad levels. You don't have to live like Chadians, redditors, you can reasonably expect to have at least thirty extra years to live!

Well, I have found him. The dumbest, stubbornest man. How can I [24F] get over the fact that my husband [24M] won't wear his seatbelt? quote:First of all, I realize this is pretty ridiculous. We also do not have any major ongoing issues. We communicate well and we get through arguments relatively quickly aside from this one issue. He is a good man, and I respect him a great deal. This just drives me insane. I'm just at my wits end and need an outside perspective. Way to be an idiot for no reason and risk leaving your 1 year old fatherless because you can't take 2 seconds to put on a loving seatbelt.

I've run into dudes before who are absolutely convinced seatbelts are unsafe because they are specifically going to get into an accident where the car is on fire or something and they can't unbuckle their seatbelt for some reason and roast to death, instead of being catapult-launched through their windshield when they smack into a deer/SUV like every other non-seatbelt-wearing imbecile on the road i imagine there's a huge overlap with guys who distribute little gun caches through their house so they'll always be prepared when the assassins come crashing through the windows, then let their kids/drunk buddies hang out in the living room with a loaded shotgun wedged in the sofa cushions

What's wrong, is she upset now for missing out on crappy dates, miserable trips with worthless friends, and nights of getting so blind drunk you go to the wrong house? Is that what she thinks she wanted? lol you're majorly projecting here From what she posted, it sounds like she went to part time modeling and office work in Atlanta to raising a kid in a rural podunk and never seeing her husband. I imagine the culture shock coupled with the transition from working/traveling to being tethered to a child is something she was not prepared for.

WampaLord posted:Well, I have found him. The dumbest, stubbornest man. I mean, the government is probably wrong about recreational drugs and nutrition (low fat diets, just replace it all with carbs!)...but seatbelts are pretty legit. Pretty much all car safety stuff is legit. Airbags, crumple zones, seatbelts, tempered and laminated glass, etc. Obviously this guy is a total moron, but this calls into question the girlfriend's intelligence as well. Someone that dumb has more than likely done or said other incredibly stupid things, how did she not pick up on how much of an idiot he is before having a kid with him? The lack of common sense is astounding.

Also, the ratio is like 99 to 1 when it comes to "Seatbelt saves your life" vs "Seatbelt endangers your life." The situations where you need to get a seatbelt off ASAP are pretty rare, collisions are frequent.

Yeah, that's one of the parts of the whole dumb argument I don't get. Those seatbelt cutters shear right through no problem, and they're really not very bulky, just stick one in your center console if you're really that worried about it. Also I've worked in emergency services and pulled a lot of people out of cars and I've literally never had to cut a seatbelt, but plenty of people I worked with had gross stories about ejected bodies

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Sounds like a waste of your twenties to me - a lot of growing up happens in those ten years and I don't really see the benefit to starting early. I'm strictly wiser than I was at 22. There's not like, a child shortage, we have plenty. physically it makes more sense to have kids young so that you're more able to deal with the demands that parenting places on your body - no sleep, lots of physical activity in toddlerhood, etc. when i get home my 2 year old demands to "fly" and be picked up and slung around. plus by the time your oldest kids are grown and potentially leaving the house you're just in your early forties of course the way our socioeconomy is structured you miss out on a ton of career growth and personal enrichment opportunities, which is why having kids young is a bad idea unless your life's ambition is to be a parent, or you have abnormally strong financial support from your spouse or family

The early to mid 20s is when you're supposed to navigate the crazy rollercoaster of life while loving up left and right and learning from your mistakes. Why bother rushing into kids when you can have your childbearing years much later on with nothing but net gain?

Well, yeah. That goes without saying. We have the most embarrassing joke of a social safety net in America, along with zero respect for maternity/paternity leave or new parents period at any level of our society. It's really sad, but unfortunately there's little to no recourse besides moving to another nation.

I think I posted it last month but a guy on childfree was whining because his work mate got three weeks parental leave and so that meant he should be allowed to take an extra three weeks of vacation. Because nothing says vacation like taking care of a newborn! It's so loving depressing to me on the baby bumps subreddit and seeing women talk about their six week, IF THAT, maternity leave. When parents go on leave it creates fluidity and is actually good for people who are trying to get their foot in the career world.
