"Why can't you give up untold amounts of money, free time, peace/quiet, lack of stress, and freedom so I can have my grandkids around for a few hours a week? Stop being so selfish."

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 106 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also, why don't you want to bring new human beings in a world that we have destroyed, that will struggle when I'll be gone and you'll be powerless to help? So selfish

Fake news promised FEMA camps staffed by Obama death panels if ACA ever passed...

WE GOT THE ACA... BRING THE FUCKING CAMPS FEDS!

These are also the people who either disappear anytime their kids need help with the kids, or else were such terrible parents they're the last person on earth their kids would leave alone with their children.

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Replace the "or else" with an "and" and you are describing my parents.

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 87 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I don't know if I find it more abhorrent that someone would proudly display an opinion so needlessly angry, or that there exists a company that is profiting off these assholes by providing such a miserable sticker.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 weeks ago

It's a lot of words to say "I'm a selfish asshole."

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

I'm okay with the print company. It lets us see from a distance what kind of asshole we're dealing with.

There are places you can design your bumper sticker. And if you have a good enough printer you can print them yourself

Sticker companies will sell blue lives matter and ACAB merch.

You know what's fucked?

Women can say that babies make their ovaries twitch and that's totally fine.

But if a man says that babies make their dick hard, everyone loses their mind.

What's that all about?

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, we don't get off through stimulating our ovaries for one lmao

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe you don't.

Well your generation made housing unobtainable.. Play a stupid game win a stupid prize

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

And healthcare is exorbitantly expensive.

Wow, the cognitive dissonance of calling your daughter selfish...

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

I guess saying it’s in my selfish son’s ballsack wouldn’t have the same effect.

Obviously this person was too selfish to have enough children to produce grandchildren.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

My selfish daughter won't go through childbirth, and raise a child to adulthood and beyond in a world that is getting harder to live in so I can be "gran-gran." The bitch. /s

there are quite a few people who seem to want to be mothers more than they want to actually have kids.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

Some of our programming is hard to resist. If it wasn't, there would be a lot less of us around!

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I mean no offence but I find your username horrifying.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Best compliment I've had all day!

I would be ok with there being less of us around. I would be VERY ok with that.

I will just never understand the desire people have to be in total control of others.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yes it's my children who are selfish! Never me, couldn't be me at all

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

These boomers are lucky we are civilized enough to NOT take the matter into our own hands to save social security and permit proper economic distrbution of resource so normal couple can have kids.

Truly fucking clueless.

Regime bootlickers won't acknowledge that many people are NOT having kids due to failed social policy their beloved owners and their regimes whores got going for us.

That is so gross

[–] parapsyker@startrek.website 15 points 2 weeks ago

As a selfish daughter, I think this is hilarious tbh.

But I also have a mother who understands and fully supports my and my partner's reproductive choices and I probably would not feel that way if circumstances were different.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

please stop being selfish and suffer 360 days of the year so that I can play with my grandchildren the remaining 5 days

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus, this is insane.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 2 weeks ago

Then just make a new kid yourself, mister/missus, and show you daughter how it's done.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Dude I'd love to have kids but I'm fuckin broke with no career. The selfish thing for me to do is have kids anyway and leave them with my parents.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Y'all reacting to this with no context or anything.

I'm sure most of us know someone who would 100% give a sticker like this jokingly to their parent, and the parent thinking it'd be a laugh to slap on the car.

I sure as hell do.

So for all y'all know, this is a joke that you arent in on and getting pissed over.

I hope he daughter has gone no contact. If you want kids this bad, adopt.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, yeah. These are the kind of people whose skeletons should be found on the couch in front of a still running television by whoever shows up to evict them for failure to pay taxes because they didn't have anyone in their lives willing and able to put them in a home.

Bedsore Meadows is the luxurious death option.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel like there are a ton of assumptions being made in this comment section. When I first saw it I thought it was funny and imagined a much more light hearted relationship between that woman and her daughter.
