The context is in the title. Due to kids throwing tantrums (dunno if youve ever experienced it as an adult, but it's annoying, especially if its not your own) she wants to take birth control.

I genuinely cant tell, is the joke that "your major factor of the desision is an annoyance" or is that earnistly what OP beleaves?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OP is so annoyed by the sounds children make such that they do not (at this time, hence the birth control and not more drastic measures) want a child

Also, spellcheck your comment a little. The edit button is right there.

I mainly wanted to figure out OP's intent. Did OP want to communicate:

  • "its not for me"
  • "I dislike/hate the mother role"
  • "I dislike/hate kids"
  • "moms made a bad choice to being a mother"
  • or intentionally unclear

I wanted to be positive, but

... and not more drastic measures) ...

I wrote before,

that means any "drastic" action to separate the child's life from OP's life, past conception. ghoulishly implying the kid's well-being doesn't matter in the process.

that's worse than my worst assumptions.

Okay, Ive been informed that im being biased, I assumed they couldve only drastic actions against the child, not drastic actions to herself. Frankly i dont like that part in myself that assumes antagonism.

Your argument relies on assumptions, how do you know OP didn't simply mean getting a vasectomy or the like with 'drastic measures'?

Steriotypes and bad assumptions, yeah its not clear what they mean.
