It's colder, more relaxing, and quiet. It's perfect.

~~They don't leave you alone if someone is always awake at all times and also there is a small child in your bed and when you get up they want to get up too and everyone has their own stuff going on so you just have to take care of it all without complaining because honestly that would just open a whole different can of worms and that just continues forever and there is no end in sight~~

Yeah.

Or hear me out, don't have children. Then the night is yours.

Edit: I realize from the large response that my comment was both dismissive to OPs situation and insensitive. I meant this to be for others that don't yet have children. Sorry OP, I hope your significant other sometimes gives you nights off.

/r/ChildFree is leaking.

Can we at least keep the toxic dismissive, high horse bullshit on reddit and not bring it to lemmy?

It'd be nice if conversation quality wasn't bottom barrel like the above comment.

What a valuable addition to the conversation /s

Yes. This type of dismissive response is the other reason I shouldn't talk about my struggles to begin with. Thank you for the direct example.

My response isn't targeted at you or anyone who already chose to have children, but at the rest of us. Having every night to yourself is an option.

And yet you replied directly to them. The fact that you used their comment as a platform for your rant makes it worse, not better.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Because they were a top comment talking about the difficulties of parenthood? They chose their life and I gave an alternative. Not for them, obviously.

I hear ya. Don't pack it down or bottle it up. This isn't that other place, and you can tell the punters to STFU. Your struggles are valid and your stresses are worthy of solutions. Feel free to bend my ear, and I'm sure others here are able to be helpful as well. You're not alone, neighbor. 🤗✊🏼
