Moar whining about the grandparents being 'absent'
'How dare they enjoy travel while we have to work! They should fly to where we live to be our free childcare during school breaks instead!' Why are grandparents who apparently take care of kids during summer breaks even in the ABSENT grandparents sub just bc they do it at a different location??
'Waaaa wdym i have to actually ASK for the help I want?? Emotional labour!!!!11!1! They should be constantly offer specific shit instead just because I refuse to actually take them up on an open offer!'
'How dare they want to move to a place they always wanted to move to to spend the last of their good years now they dont have work and their own kids tying them down! They should stay to help their grownass kids in their 30s/40s'
'Why arent they begging me on their knees for pictures and to somehow facetime my literal infant and flying across the country to see them (except they did do that for her first birthday but apparently thats not good enough)?? Wdym I have to iniate a specific type of contact if I want it?? Its totally their fault theyre distant and not my ass being for being too weak to even ask if they would like to facetime with me and the baby (since the baby obviously cant facetime on their own).'
Like jfc some people on the sub have pretty legitimate complaints, but a lot of it is just whining and shit that is very obviously completely their own fault. They have grandparents that are decently present and even willing to help, they just refuse to accept it or compromise bc of ego shit.

Actually as far as I remember seeing in the west grandparent involvement is actually statistically higher than it used to be, these people just suck and are probably giving them little reason to stay by being obnoxious redditors. In those other nations the grandparents also usually recieve way more hands on elder care than going to a nursing home being the norm.
Redditors are social retards who cant talk things out with their parents and in-laws. On the other hand, it is quite likely that many of those grandparents are retarded boomers themselves.
Well, to be fair- that's what grandparents and family units are for. Redditors obviously have to retardmaxx the issue, but I don't necessarily disagree with them. It is weird that the grandparents don't show interest in their own grandkids
Eh, i sympathise with this one if it's true. It's not about the act of facetiming or looking at pics, it's about showing your sibling/friend that you're interested and care about the greatest new thing in their lives. Everyones kids look the same and no child is gonna remember but that's missing the point. It takes 30s to send a message and 2 minutes making retarded baby noises to your camera never killed anybody.
Aside from all that, it is really sad to see a mother of a newborn say they are extremely lonely. Honestly my heart aches a little even if they're a redditor - that's heavy stuff.
Apart from the normal reddit caveats the screenshots had a very LLM smell, so I suspect that whole subreddit is just a botfarm (for karma or intergenerational split psyop, reader's choice).
The inlaws dont sound ideal I suppose but when this is what they would have to deal with i dont blame them in the slightest, holy shit. Arent 1st bday parties mostly just vanity projects for the parents anyways, since 1 yos dont rlly understand the concept of birthdays yet?

The main reason shes lonely is that she unsurprisingly has no friends either, which she said at least 4 seperate times in the comment section.
My main issue is that redditors are notorious enemies of the family unit concerning everything that doesnt actively and immediately benefit them. A lot of them move away themselves, barely bother putting any effort into keeping contact with family, skip plenty of family events and calls, want family to mostly stay out of their lives and mind their business, dont help with nieces/nephews, gleefully plan to just shove their parents in a nursing home when the time comes, etc etc etc.
But then 15-20 years later (because they also usually have kids late af) the moment THEY need something suddenly not having a close bond with their family is a problem, after others already built their lives around not having that relationship.
Did this person show ANY interest in these relatives lives in return before having a baby? I doubt it, since regular calls already werent happening anyways and she has no friends so is most likely shit at maintaining relationships. People who already facetimed their parents weekly would just hold the kid while doing it.

While I'm not one to defend boomer retards, it would be remiss of me to not point out that often times the people who post shit like this aren't exactly Grade A son/daughter material either.
People will hold grudges against their parents over the stupidest things well into adulthood, and then are shocked when their parents don't just want to arbitrarily bury the hatchet because now you want their help all of a sudden.
Families are supposed to be units, and love and cooperation is a two way street. Your parents are just entitled from moving on from you and your shitty treatment of them as you are from their shitty treatment of you.

Actually, the Soviet Union was huge on video games and had a gorillion type of locally developed arcade games and state-ran game halls. They saw those games as part of youth education like the mandatory sports to develop reflexes and entertain them to not fall into alcoholism, "hooliganism" and laziness.
Redditors will cry that you can't cure being gay and that converstion therapy is a sham but apparently pedophilia is now somehow curable/treatable even though they are both paraphilias.
Maybe gays aren't trying hard enough. Maybe you can be an "ethical gay" or "non-offending homosexual". I bet they'd love this argument.
This. Genderspecial shit was always a thing on Tumblr. Reddit in the early/mid 2010s was mostly pseudointellectual "facts and logic" debatebro types from various camps: libertarians, liberals, atheists of both the skeptic sort and the "Atheism Plus" type and even vaguely some conservative-leaning sorts. Gamergate and the 2016 election were the first major exoduses and then the terminally online tumblr troons made their way there and got into mod roles.
I'm glad you posted this. I'm not even that old but I used to use tumblr (I know) back then before yahoo bought it and sjws started jumping ship. I know those elements were on other websites at the time but I don’t think people appreciate what an impact the exodus of tumblr to the wider internet had on internet culture. Or american history, funnily enough. It isn't just because a lot of them started using reddit and these other huge influential forums as well. As many people have said before (both here and other places) the reason they took over is because they are intolerant. If you have a site filled with principled fedora wearing libertarians, they are going to get steamrolled by even just a small cadre of terminally online cat ladies who cannot stand the thought of racists existing in the same place as them. They will infiltrate the mods and admins at any cost. Communism spreads in a similar way. Libertarians will always lose to authoritarians.
Also, I think these people were extremely emboldened by trump's election and gamer gate (all three of these things happened withing 3 years). They thought Obunga had brought about paradise on earth but then orang man won and the world ended....
I find it both humorous and horrifying how all that nonsense grew into the utter chaos and ruin that is our post covid post floydian world. Those times really seem quaint in comparison now.
If gayness is incurable you can say that it's okay that they have wild orgies as long as they dont donate blood. If pedophilia is incurable the only cure is the woodchipper.
