@twistedrope Ah yeah. A lot of people are parents only to meet a certain quota. Just so they can say they reached a certain milestone. They don't truly want to be parents, for them it's just: "Yes! We're parents now! Now we have children to carry on our legacy when we die! Now all of our friends and acquaintances can see that we were able to have children, and they won't discriminate against us for not having children by a certain age! Yessss!"
They also expect their children to just simply be extensions of themselves. They don't expect or want their children to be their own people with their own interests. And they say shit like bragging about "I take care of my kids!" or "I never signed up for this shit!" And it's like first of all, you're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids, you're not going above and beyond, you're doing the bare minimum! And second, this is EXACTLY what you signed up for! Don't become parents if you can't handle the work that comes with it!
But yeah. A lot of parents are just horrible. They only have children because: "It's just what you do. It's a phase of life. You go to school when you're young. Then get a job. Then marry. Then have kids. Then grow old and eventually retire. Having kids is just part of that." And like..."it's just what you do" is a HORRIBLE reason for having children... 🤦

@espns2025 That doesn't make it any better, lol. A random creepy/sexual comment is always creepy no matter what the gender/sex is. 🤷

@Iwillwait Never thought of using those exact words to describe that specific situation, but yeah! "Fake it till you make it" is a perfect way to describe it!
Though in this context "fake it till you make it" was not a good thing, lol! 😂
Usually when people say that they usually mean like fake having confidence till one day you have confidence for real. Or fake being not lazy till one day you stop being lazy for real.
But in this type of case, changing an aspect of yourself to please someone else...NOT a good thing, lmfao.
