There is more discussion over the lady pregnant with an XYY chromosome child, with a different blogger saying, “This isn’t a normal child with normal genetics. XYY is typical anti-social personality disorder, a born demon. There’s not much of a chance of changing him with parenting. Once he’s born, he’ll only bring harm to society. I don’t understand why you’d insist on giving birth to such a thing.”
Comments say, “So, the Y chromosome is really just full of garbage.”
“Just waiting for news that he’s murdered his parents. Love that sort of thing.”
“I’m in Guangdong (same province as OP’s IP address). I’m scared.”
A relationship blogger writes, “2017 and 2018 were a peak for people having second babies, and now this wave of babies are all going to primary school. But it’s not like the number of schools are going to double overnight. There’s too much demand, and not enough spots, so a lot of strange phenomenon have appeared.
Everyone wants to get into a good primary school, but good primary schools can’t take on an infinite number of students, so what happens? They’ve got to come up with a priority mechanism. Of course, if you don’t have hukou and you don’t have a house, you’ve got no chance in hell. Even if you do have hukou and a house, if there are more applicants than spots available, then they’ll prioritise kids whose houses are under their parents name, over kids whose houses are under their grandparents name.
So a lot of people will say, why not just have grandparents move their house to the parent’s name. It’s not like there’s a super high fee when you’re moving it to direct family members. That way, your kids are going right to the top of the waiting list. They’ve got a much better chance of getting in.
Oh, you sweet summer child. If you can think of this solution in a second sitting in front of your computer screen, and yet nobody is doing it, that means there are factors you haven’t considered. If it was that easy, if everyone did this, why would anyone still be going to school using their grandparent’s house. Everyone would’ve transferred already.
But the reality is, the holder of the real estate, the grandparents, might have more than one child. But they only have one house in the good school district. Do they dare to just give the house completely over to only one of their kids? Sure, their son might swear to God himself that once he’s done using it, he’ll transfer it back so they can give it to his brother next. But what if once you give it to him, he refuses to transfer it back? What can you do? The whole family relationship will be ruined.
What if their other kid is child-free or went overseas and doesn’t care? Or what if the grandparents only have one child? Then they could just transfer their house, right? Well, it’s certainly a better situation, but it’s still not that easy. Because old people have different considerations than their children. As people get older, they become more and more insecure in people’s attitude towards them. They always want to have some cards in their hands to hold people hostage to taking care of them. Once you give away your house, what if your children never talk to you anymore? What if you get sick and need money for hospital bills, and your kids don’t want to pay for it? What if you want to go to a super nice retirement home and it takes 20K a month and your kids don’t want to give the money? If you have a house in your hands, it’s basically like having a huge savings account. You have a lot more of a sense of security. And for a lot of old people, this is probably the only house they have. Once they give it away, they have to depend on the goodness of their children’s hearts for the rest of their life.
What about rich people, who have multiple houses, and don’t necessarily care about this one? Well, it might be alright to give it to your kids, but if your kid’s spouse comes from a much poorer family background, especially if they have siblings, isn’t that too much temptation? Are you not going to cause their spouse to try to launder the house? If they get divorced, which is increasingly common these days, who’s gonna end up with the house?
That’s not even to mention that what the grandparents want might be different between them. If the grandma’s health is deteriorating, what if the grandpa wants to hold onto the house to lure in a mistress to take care of him? Is he cheating on the side? Does he have bastards out there somewhere? That complicates the whole situation.
So even if you’re a single child, don’t assume that your parent’s resources are your resources, that you’re always on the same side. Parents like to say a lot that whatever they have will one day be yours, but take a look around you. There are plenty of single children who are working adults, who have no children, whose parents are both their birth parents. At this point, they’re definitely the only legal inheritor of their parents’ estate. And yet, how many parents just goes ahead and moves their entire estate under their kid’s name? Even though they claim that it’s all going to be their kid’s someday?
Of course, I’m not saying that children are entitled to their parents’ stuff or anything. After all, the parents worked for and earned that house on their own. I’m just trying to teach people a lesson that even if you’re an only child, your parents resources aren’t necessarily yours. You can beg them for help, but it’s the exact same concept as asking for things from your boss or your clients. It’s just that they might have a lower standard for agreeing with you since they’re your parents. But that doesn’t mean you have the right to receive resources in return for nothing.
Competition between children is exactly the same as competition between men, or women. People aren’t competing with each other, they’re competing against the resources behind each person. Even if you’re a single child, you’re not an exception to this. If you can’t persuade your parents to give you resources, then even if you’re the only one and you don’t have any competitors, what you receive is still 0. What is the point of that?”
“I’m honestly horrified by people on instagram insisting that you can’t brush your teeth while pregnant or sitting the month. I can’t believe in this day and age, there are mothers and MILs warning their daughters that if they brush their teeth while pregnant or sitting the month, their teeth will fall out. You’re pregnant for, like, 10 months. And then another 42 days for sitting the month. If you don’t brush your teeth for that long, no matter how good they were before hand, they’ll be ruined by the time you’re done!
And all this bullshit about pregnancy toothpaste, month-sitting toothbrushes. It’s just a low IQ tax. Just use normal soft toothbrushes and adult toothpaste with floride. Sure, lots of people have trouble with weaker gums while pregnant. Just make sure you deal with any dental problems before you get pregnant. If you need wisdom teeth removed, go get them removed. If you need crowns fitted, go get them fitted. If you need cavities filled, go get cavities filled. That way, you won’t get any dental problems flaring up during pregnancy, where you might not be able to do numbing medication or eat advils or get x-rays.”
Comments say, “My coworker used to coat her daughter’s teeth in calcium paste (with sugar in it) to supplement her calcium. By the time the kid was in kindergarten, her teeth were completely ruined. My coworker is a chemistry doctorate lol.”
“I thought not washing your hair was gross enough. There are seriously people who don’t brush their teeth for that long?”
“It really is ridiculous. Not only did my MIL insist I couldn’t wash my hair, she even tried to say that I couldn’t brush my hair. I was all like lolwut.”
“There are still people who sincerely believe that if you take photos while pregnant, it’ll cause miscarriages.”
A psychologist writes, “Saw a tiktok video of a child dying during sleep training, and saw a bunch of comments, including #autism #sleep training #programming babies
I’m honestly shocked that there are still so many people into sleep training. They’re even praising something called timed feedings? There are even organisations doing this. It’s horrifying.
Over a hundred years ago, psychologist Marslow has been a strong proponent of nurture over nature, and he’s spent over a year observing apes. But when he had his first child, he said, “I can say that no one who’s actually raised a child can believe in nurture over nature.”
In his book, he wrote, “Our first baby changed my understanding of psychology. He made my obsession with nurture over nature seem so foolish. I can no longer stand this school of thought. It is simply not true.”
I bet Marslow can’t imagine that 100 years later, there are still so many people training their children like dogs or robots, subjecting them to such torture.”
Comments say, “My American husband’s sister did sleep training on all three of her kids, and now all three are autists who need medicine.”
“This is why there’s so much autism and brain problems in the west. There are a lot of families with too many kids to keep up, so they just stop caring about any of them.”
“And now it’s such a trend in China, like care-free child rearing. It’s sort of like how everyone believes that schooling overseas is so much more chill, but America’s got more exams than anywhere else.”
“This is all so foolish! You can check easily on baidu! American psychologists have been saying since the last century that this is the wrong way to raise babies. It’ll cause major trauma to their psychology. They’ll lack security. Not everything from the west is better or correct! Every time I see this, I feel such pity for the children, I just want to chew someone out. Doesn’t your heart hurt, spending several thousand RMB to listen to your own babies cry?”
A tiktok video of a black line being grinded away from someone’s tooth.
Comments say, “It’s such a tiny black line, why do they have to drill away half the tooth?”
“Thanks, my teeth are already hurting.”
A blogger writes, “To be more accurate, c-sections don’t cut through 8 layers of your tissue. They cut through 3 layers of your tissue, and then pull the rest apart. That is, two people standing on their side of the incision and pulling on it with all their might to tear it apart.”
Comments add, “Medical student here, we’ll also pull your uterus out and wash it before stuffing it back in.”
“I’ve just had a c-section. When they cut me open, I could feel my blood rushing. No pain, just a strong feeling of pulling on skin. My heart felt super weird, my limbs were tied down, I was super nervous. All I could hear was the suction tube of the doctors as they were working it. The whole time, I felt like a pig ready for slaughter, nervous and afraid. The doctors acted like they were at a picnic while they worked on me, talking about how a young couple had come into the hospital late last night to get help fishing out a condom that had gotten stuck too deep.”
A tiktok video showing menstrual straps that women used back in the 70s and 80s.
Comments marvel, “I can’t imagine what it was like for my mom or my grandma.”
“My classmate says that her grandma used stove ash or something, not even this kind of stuff. The strips of fabric she washed, she would be too embarrassed to dry outside, so she’d hang it over a bamboo stick over the foot of her bed and let it dry indoors. I can’t imagine. I’m so lucky to be born in the modern day.”
“I haven’t seen the strap before, but I’ve seen the paper padded inside. I’m pretty sure that’s the toilet paper we used at home while growing up.”
“You can’t fold the paper like this. If you fold it in half, it’ll get soaked in period blood, which not only breaks the paper, but can leave little paper shreds everywhere. You have to fold it diagonally.”
“If I had to use shit like this, I’d have to change pants eight times a day.”
Someone posts screenshots with their boyfriend, showing an argument over perfume.
BF: “2500 RMB? For a bottle of perfume?”
OP: “Yeah. It’s from Chanel. My friend let me use some last time and I thought it smelled really good.”
BF: “That’s your reason for buying it???”
OP: “Yeah? What about it?”
BF: “What, you can’t stand perfumes that are a couple dozen bucks? Anything over that is just a tax on low IQ.”
OP: “Stop calling everything a tax on low IQ. I hate that expression.”
BF: “If something’s price doesn’t fit the value it brings, then it’s a tax on low IQ.”
OP: “Fine. I’ll just buy it myself then.”
BF: “You can’t wait until we’re done discussing this to buy it?”
OP: “You don’t want to buy it for me, I’ll buy it myself.”
BF: “I could afford to buy it for you. I just think it’s too expensive to justify. It’s not worth that much money. You can buy the same perfume for 1200 RMB. Why would you spend that much money on it? I think you already smell good enough with just freshly washed clothes. You don’t need perfume. It’s not like our money grows on trees. I can buy you gifts over 1000 RMB, but I won’t buy you this perfume.”
OP: “How are the shoes I bought you not a tax on low IQ? It’s almost 10K RMB.”
BF: “?? How are shoes and perfume the same? You wear shoes on your feet. Everyone can see it and you can wear it every day. When you spray this perfume on yourself, who the fuck knows what brand it is? The value they bring aren’t even in the same realm. And when people see expensive shoes on your feet, they think that you’re successful, you’re wealthy. It’s good for networking and business negotiations. Either way, it pays for itself.”
OP: “You could buy shoes for a couple dozen bucks too. Why do you have to wear shoes that are four figures? Can’t you wear shoes that are 20 bucks?”
BF: “Either way, I just don’t think this perfume is worth it. I make a lot of money. But if you are spending two grand on just perfume, and you still want to buy other things, how are we going to survive in life? You make money by saving it, not by spending it. I can gift you handbags worth a couple grand, but I’m not going to buy you perfume worth a couple grand.”
OP: “That’s why I said I’d buy it myself. I don’t need you to buy it for me.”
BF: “I know you can afford it. But you can’t live your life this way. Can you not use perfume that’s a couple hundred bucks? It’s only this expensive because of the brand name associated.”
Comments say, “Tell him to transfer you a couple of grand, and you won’t buy the perfume.”
“You just have different views on money. You’re gonna keep fighting over this.”
“He’s got his point. You’ve got yours. Maybe you should just break up.”
“Alright, have him buy you a bag worth a couple of grand then. Then buy the perfume you want and break up.”
it is so sad seeing people be so disgusting towards xyy children, as an intersex person it sucks to see that the attitude towards us is pretty much the same anywhere. the only real problem xyy can cause is sometimes intellectual disability, and the stuff about them being violent is stereotypes based on biased information and hysteria. look into the history of studies on xyy people and you will find some horrific stuff done to them in the name of science.

I laughed really hard at that, didn't think that expression also is used in China xD
