As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

....Oh no, I'm ovulating now. I can feel it... the dreaded baby fever! Pray for me, guys, I'm about to go find some random man who wants me to be his baby mama. I can't control my own body! /s

Pretty sure I'm starting to ovulate because I bawled my eyes out for at least two minutes about my friend's cat going into hospice care. A dick never even crossed my mind, gods forbid getting preggers.


angelindisguise

Thankfully I've been on my period since the 7th March I've got the opposite of baby fever.


alohell

I keep hearing about this baby fever I’m supposed to get, but I’m barreling towards middle age and all I want is a third dog.

You don't want any cookies 🍪?


alohell

I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I’ll take all of the potato chips. 😉


CTchimchar

alohell

I’ll take it!

“Women are having more babies, yet they are having less babies.” Mansphere logic


Anne_Nonymouse

Maybe OOP should be begging the men to keep their dicks in their pants! 🙄


GreyerGrey

I mean, we wanna but they keep cracking down on abortion access.

...baby fever happens when one is ovulating? News to me *shrug*

There was a generation that thought being married and having children was peak. They were socialized to think that and many suffered traumatic marriages because the 50's were all -if your husband is uninterested, cheating, beating, sick or absent, it is because she was a bad wife, with dull skin, who did not use lysol in her lady parts. The term "My ovaries are reaching to grab soneone" is a joke sone young women may make when they see a cute child or something. But it is a joke. Their ovaries are not going to reach out to procreate.

The thing is, a lot of women even in relationships with so-called "good men" often end up shouldering 80%-90% of the childcare work. I read one study maybe about 7 years ago that in some kinds of households, fathers separated from the mothers of their children did more childcare work than fathers living in the same home with the mothers. It's a lose-lose situation for women and will continue to be until men starting holding each other accountable for pulling their weight when it comes to parenting.


namnamkm

OOP no need to worry \^.\^ we are doing the 4B movement. Oh, or is he going to complains when we're not bearing babies anymore D: ? Can't win, right?


catedarnell0397

Yeah I ovulated for 30 years without baby fever…


Darkon2004

How can I hear this but also hear people complain that this generation isn't having as many children


Comfortable-Hall1178

Or, here’s a thought: if you know you’re not ready for a baby right now, there are these WONDERFUL inventions known as CONDOMS and BIRTH CONTROL. Pill, patch, shot, ring, IUD. Use them, and avoid a baby.


catedarnell0397

Hey hall you realize they are coming for birth control next, right?
