A compilation of China’s efforts to increase birth rates: “The community office [basically Chinese social workers] called me this morning and asked if I was pregnant yet. I was like, “No?” And they were like, “Your kid’s about two, you can get pregnant again now. Remember to come collect your free folic acid from the office!” They’re trampling all over my face in their hurry to get me pregnant >: (“
Is it tragic that I and most of my generation diaspora Chinese in Southeast Asia identify acutely with the comments about dads? 🥹
Zombie dads are so much worse than dead dads. At least you can just ignore a dead dad.
I feel like my life was significantly better when I was little, and my dad just literally never came home.
Same. Better that than 0-100 in terms of mood swings.
