Children/teens aren’t allowed to be sad or in a bad mood because they can get yelled at for it and ridiculed and told to ‘change your attitude or I will for you’, while adults who are sad or in a bad mood, are allowed to yell at and take their frustration out on the kids. Adult privilege huh?
And when the adult is in a bad mood, it’s the kids job to step on eggshells in order to keep them from not exploding, and when they do, it’s on them.
And when the child is in the bad mood, it’s their job to try to hide it, and when they break apart trying to, it’s on them.
the thing about millennials who don’t want kids is I feel like a lot of them are deeply On Board for their friends’ kids
like I’m among the minority of my friends in definitely for sure wanting kids someday
but each of my parenthood-eschewing friends has claimed a different role in my future offspring’s life and they seem very excited to play it
so we as a generation may have fewer children
but I feel like they’ll be the most supported and loved children imaginable
As a millennial who doesn’t want children, I am seconding this, because it’s not like we don’t want children to exist in the world! We do! Children can be lovely and amazing and they are literally our future! It’s just So Very Difficult to raise children in our nuclear-family society, especially as a millennial, and you want to do the job RIGHT.
Well, if you can’t do the job right yourself, the least you can do is help a friend raise THEIR child right, help take the burden off their shoulders, and give that kid all the love and attention they can stand.
I’d be damned excited to do that, too.
this generation is so excited and ready to be weird uncle/aunt so-and-so
I hope this generation makes communal families a thing again and this time it won’t be treated like a “taboo hippie thing”
Takes a village to raise a kid
i didnt realize so many other people felt this way, when i started watching my roommate’s toddler after school my mom couldnt understand it and i couldnt explain it, but it really was that i dont want a kid but i do want to support kids that already Are
I am onboard to be as many small people’s queer witch aunt as possible.
:::PARENTHOOD: DREAMERS:::
.
Before I went to doing the previous 40 page comic project I always wondered what it was like when they dream together. Yes in the comics they dream together and I wanted to really get into that concept and I actually had slme heart strings tugged while I was doing this because of the element of innocents between the two 😂😂😂😂
Despite stealing from property and returning them he also was also bullied as a kid and I wanted to explore that aspect 😃
This is actually hella interesting, bc in simple terms, tigers are extroverts and lions are introverts. There’s more to it, but that’s the gist.
Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the tiger would eventually try to groom the lioness and play constantly. The lioness would lose patience and snaps at them
So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne
Then you have the other girl who drank all of the little flutes on the servers platter, and is now drunkenly pointing at her gf and telling everyone that that’s her gf and doesn’t she look beautiful I love her so much
So I had to draw them in human form???
You drew them in the corresponding ethnicities for their Geographic locations!!! Bless you, you have no idea how sick and tired I am of white human lion king characters.
Where will I go to find lesbian big cat information after the Tumblrpacolypse
#nipples are important for many things including sex
This has nothing to do with anything but it’s the greatest headline I’ve ever seen
This article is amazing
I’d put my favourite quotes from the article up, but it’s the whole dang article.
“It’s just so shocking,” Claire Simeone, a veterinarian and monk seal
expert based in Hawaii, told The Washington Post on Thursday. “It’s an
animal that has another animal stuck up its nose.”
The “most plausible” theory, he said, is that monk
seal teenagers aren’t all that different from their human counterparts.
Monk seals “seem naturally attracted to getting into troublesome
situations,” Littnan said.
“It almost does feel
like one of those teenage trends that happen,” he said. “One juvenile
seal did this very stupid thing and now the others are trying to mimic
it.”
