“Are you a human? Are you well? Get fu€|

So many conjunctions… can’t take it!

I'm 30, don't have kids and don't want kids. I have recently started showing signs of early menopause and im slightly grateful so I can just tell people I'm no longer fertile so everyone will get off my ass about it. Im made to feel like the devil because I don't have the desire to be a mother. It kinda gets to me after so many years of people saying ill regret it or that im broken because I don't have the motherly instinct to want to have kids. Im happy with my life and how it is now, and if that makes me selfish for loving my freedom than so be it. But im over the hate and getting dogged all the time...its getting worse with age because everyone around me knows my biological clock is ticking

My friend also never wanted kids she chose to get sterilized not a tubal. You just have to find the right doctor. I never wanted kids then I got married at 19 and he wanted them of course I love them but this world sucks and I never wanted them to struggle. After 2 kids I had my tubes tied at 23

Totally agree…I knew when I was 7 I didn’t want to be a mother. Now in my 40s, people are STILL trying to shame me, change my mind, etc, and despite being married, without kids doctors won’t allow me to tie my tubes. When will we ever have real bodily autonomy?!?

Don't ever let anyone push their conforming norms on you! Raising a kud is hard as much as it is rewarding! Xx

I am so sorry that you experienced this, we parents have to learn to control ourselves, not the children because they learn from rolemodels like us adults do too :)

100% yes ! I feel you so much. I went through the same

I'm so sorry you are going through that! I have a young daughter and I'm doing everything I can to make sure she knows she can come to me for anything. Parents should know this is a long journey and does not happen overnight. It's important to build trust, empathy and have genuine respect.

Same and same results with my relationship with my parents as an adult. Loss of trust in them as a child and never regained!

1000000%

And if you fk that attachment up, it affects EVERYTHING . I have a disorganised and anxious attachment and I don't trust anyone.

And if you did remember the "lesson" you'd remember why someone spanked (assaulted) you, you wouldn't conclude x was bad because you got hit for it once, nobody has ever in the history of humanity came to the opinion what they did was wrong *because* they were punished for it so remembering the why would be totally meaningless and make zero difference except maybe make doing that thing more attractive now out of spite.

I was spanked too. And we had our heads bumped together a few times!! Couldn’t ever imagine doing that to my children at such young ages yet our parents thought it was normal

Yep. I remember realizing my mom was out of control and emotional at age 4 or 5. It was confusing because it wasn't what she said- to not act in anger or hurt other. I remember losing respect for her and that grew. I ran away the first time at age 8 when I realized she broke promises and couldn't answer my questions, then again at 13 when she took my journal and I felt like she didn't believe in me, then moved out with an older guy just to leave the environment at 17, which had its own issues.

THIS 💯

I couldn’t tell you why I was spanked. I grew up during a time when house slippers, belts, wet dish rags, switches from trees and fly swatters were a normal thing to be gif with when you were acting up. I could never imagine hitting my child with a belt or a tree branch! Yet in the 80s it was the norm. …all it teaches is that it’s ok to hit people when you are mad and when someone is bigger than you, they can hit you.

i was thinking the same thing!! he’s like 3 now or something? i feel like people don’t usually last that long.

🥹😭💕 thank you so much. That means so much to me.

Honestly the difference between people who learn and change and people who continue to suck is a vast chasm of space.

100%

Same.

YES!!! 😂❤

I feel this comment deep in my soul! 😂❤

I thought the SAME!! 💕💕💕

We started a thread demanding merch a while back! 😂❤

Really value your opinions, Kristi and this was a quality video. 🙂

Completely predatory. Don't blame yourself. The top 1% literally brainwash and take advantage of folks who will never see the money they do. So gross! Definitely not regular people like you and I who sell for them. I guarantee you worked over full time hours too, for less than minimum wage, when you sold. And they push harder. It's so sad.

❤❤❤❤

In Sweden corporal punishment is illegal and they're disturbed it's legal to beat children in the United States. It's fucking wild you can legally hit your kids.

Not only that, but spanking easily becomes an outlet for angry and/or frustrated parents instead of it being discipline. (e.g.: Spanking your kids more when you had a bad day at work, didn't get enough sleep, or have a headache.) It's abuse.

I prob shouldn’t put this in the internet…. But my mom beat the ever living crap out of my sister when I was younger. Me and my sister are 6yrs apart and I remember being shoved under the bed with my little brother by my sister when I was 4 or 5yrs old and then her running and hiding from my mom. I remember seeing my moms feet from under the bed as she came close screaming curse word trying find my sister and me putting my hand over mine and my little brothers (2yrs old) mouth so she wouldn’t hear us breathe. My mother never ever hit us because she always had my sister to beat but seeing tht happen has caused so much anxiety my mom is a very toxic person to this day! and I have ptsd from wht she did to my sister. She’d beat her with broom handles tell they’d break and I couldn’t protect her because I was so little. But I do remember one day finally my sister fighting back and saying she’d call the police. Mind you I was 13 by tht time and I’d help my sister with everything because she’d have panic attacks if something wasn’t perfect to my mothers liking. I have a son now and hitting Is never ok not spanking not anything I don’t care what your child has done hitting is NEVER ok.

​@@nidhigritty3102I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family. It should never be allowed. You sound like a great mum by not carrying that behaviour forward. Hug tour kids❤

She donates so much to different charities and has fundraisers with small businesses too. Love Kendall!

This!!!!!!

Okay I was gonna say she better not say anything negative about Kendall Rae lol

The Report on Abuse came out. The Galikea Report showed Pope Francis promoted priests who covered up abuse of minors. N.galilea wrote the report and it is sad that cover up is still happening w predator priests w a man who is so flattered by society.

​@@ravynwoods5902I was also just holding my breathe that oh dear please don't say anything nasty about Kendall. SHE is honestly one of the best content creators out there - in any genre. She is respectful and shows genuine care and has so much compassion. She has really paved the way for TrueCrime content in such an ideal way - making sure facts are narrated in an authentic and respectful way. Her collaborative podcasts are also amazing! How amazing was the Marlena episode on The Sesh. ❤

That phrase is insane. It's so dismissive, unnecessary cruel and gaslighting. If I was able to articulate my feelings back then it would sound like: "Oh really? Why are you doing it then? Why would you hurt both of us so severly? For what? What result are you hoping for? Why can't we just talk about your expectations? Could you at least be more direct and upfront with your intentions so that I can understand what you want and adjust my behaviour? If you keep lashing out at me without ever talking things through, making any tangible plans to change our situation for the better and without making any effort to hear me out and understand my side of the story, then the only motivation for me to keep living will revolve around doing my best to survive until I have an opportunity to get the hell away and live my own life someday and I will not want to put anymore emotional effort to maintain our relationship in the future than you are doing now. So there will not be any relationship left unless you change your approach now, admit to all the unnecessary hurt you caused already, apologise for it and start treating me like an actual human being with normal human needs that deserve attention and understanding. The more you hurt me, the more I resent you. Some day the accumulated resentments will outweight the attachment and overshadow the love, then there will be no more reason to meet or talk to eachother. There won't even be anything to talk about anymore, just a lifetime of hurt and resentment, an overwhelming amount of unresolved pain that I just had to "suck up" like you told me to." Obviously I wasn't able to express all that as a child and even if I was able to find the matching words, nobody would be there to hear them out. I moved out as soon as I technically could and I never had any regrets abou that, even if my whole family shamed me for it, even though many people judged it as a mistake of mine, thinking I would be better off had not left that soon, but I know I wouldn't be better off, I would simply be dead, because I was a very depressed sickly child with no hope for life until I was away from my family. I'm in no contact for years now and I don't regret doing that either, even on my most depressive and lonely days. I long for connection, but not that kind of connection that was modeled by my family members.

Where are you from? I mean what makes you think so many think it's ok? (by the way I agree with you but just curious).

@@Mr.GoodkatNot OP, but I grew up in a very religious home and while my parents didn’t spank me, it was accepted and very common in many,if not most, families at the church we attended. The whole “spare the rod and spoil the child” mindset unfortunately.

@@19aml89 Yeah I know it still happens in most homes, even though 14% of children it's illegal to spank, I have heard countless reports and accounts that of that 14% a lot of them still are spanked illegally and even when found out parent's just have to take a parenting class and then go right back to assaulting them afterwards and that's what it's like growing up in a world which cares more about protecting children than adults? paradox, actions speak lounder than words. I am sorry you had to grow up in a dump.

​@Mr.Goodkat spanking is illegal? There was a lady on my neighborhood app thing all proud because she asked a cop about it and said it was fine to do 😵‍💫

@@teal_panda_8434 Of course it isn't illegal, why would such a mesopedic world ban assaulting children? (aka all of us for years) domestic violence is considered a o k against them as are **many** other things we would never dream of doing to anyone else.

If you grew up In a religious home then I'm sure you know why the Bible says to spank your child when they do wrong. In today's world you have a bunch of people that believe that giving a timeout for being bad is what you do and you know as much as I know that that kid didn't learn a thing they did wrong. That is one of the reasons this world is like it is today because of not spanking your children for the right reasons to teach them what they did was wrong and to never do it again. This is why there are so many kids today that are messed up either not knowing if they are a boy or a girl or right from wrong If more people and there familys were brought up in church they would have a more healthy family and this world would be a much healthier place to be. In Jesus name I pray. Amen 🙏💞🙏

I think Most people that are defending spanking believe that it’s because the Bible says “spare the rod spoil the child.” There’s no love like Christian hate🤷‍♀️

I just watched a documentary called "Smiling Happy People" that's specifically about corporal punishment in the church (and the Dugger family). It is literally taught that hitting your kids is the way to bring them to God's obedience.

@hansolohansolo same goes for me

I'm sorry that happened to you. My dad was the only one who spanked me as a child. Now as an adult with a child I can see he doesn't know how to communicate in a calm respectful manner. There's been many times he's gotten upset with me over trivial subjects as an adult because I don't think or do what he thinks I should. It's definitely taken a toll.

Kristi sharing her experience was undoubtedly helpful & eye-opening for many, but her experience won't necessarily be like yours might be. Yes, PPD is a very serious condition, but it doesn't affect all new mothers.

You WANT children but... You're going to deny yourself that experience because *someone else* had a negative postpartum journey? Not all moms have that. I have 4 sons and had mild PPD once. It's your life, of course. But you'll miss out on a beautiful life course if you don't do something that outstanding on a *chance* it *could* happen to you. Best wishes either way. ❤

I feel the same way. not only post partum, but the constant daily stress and worry of being a parent, no thank you. I’m very happy with my current life. it’s not worth the risk to me. I just don’t need to be a parent. your feelings are so valid!!

@@GenXfrom75 because someone like Kristi has spoke about it and how terrible it was, yes absolutely. I relate to her so much in most of her thinking and understand what she went through could be something I also experience. I also have two sisters who’ve had children and countless friends who have expressed the good sides and the bad sides, her struggles are also struggles I’ve heard from other women. I felt like she should know that her words matter and have me accept that part of my life.

@@rachdep so you don't really want children, then. Okay 👍

Spanking only teaches a kid that they can’t trust their parents

Yes!! I was spanked a few times as a kid. Once even I was slapped across the face in the grocery store. Do I remember what I was doing? Nope. Do I remember the slap vividly? Absolutely. I’m never having children for biological reasons but if I’m ever fostering I would never dream of spanking a child.

As someone who works in behavioral health , I agree

@@blaah9999SAME!

It's so weird how people almost justify it by saying that they tell their kids they love them after spanking them, and it's like if the two people in this situation were adults in a romantic relationship we would see that as extremely abusive and manipulative.

Kristi would kill it as a guest on the sesh

Love both you lovely ladies! Thank you for always staying true to yourselves and keeping it real!!!❤

❤ Kendall

@@user-di6cn2ne7uyassssss 👏 ❤

Absolutely and thank YOU Kendall. Your content is beautifully done and so refreshing. Love you so much! 💕💕💕

Re: excusing things because it was "different back then" I just had this conversation with my dad. He's all pissed off that his sister has come out and said that their father was abusive. My dad says "he did the best he could." Just because he didn't know any different way to parent doesn't mean it wasn't abuse. My grandfather, whom I knew nothing but love, gentleness and kindness from before he died, pushed my dad up against the wall and threatened him when my dad was 13/14 and trying to stand up for my grandmother

@@GMPetti I hear you. I think it's important to remember that we can hold two thoughts in our heads at the same time: the parent behaved in a way that was inappropriate and it's valid to acknowledge that it harmed the child and left lasting impacts. But the adult (like my parents) had not learned healthy parenting/ coping/ life skills and their poor behavior and parenting was a consequence of that. We can admit that someone did something harmful without necessarily villainizing them.

@@TheKindredTrucker Unless they do the same against anyone (besides children) then we vilify the hell out of them, call them "wife beater" throw them in prison even, it's still treated as if it's ok to talk disrespectfully, think you're superior to and mistreat youth, there's many, many acts which are considered so immoral to the point they've been criminalised which you can still do and only do on children, it's *extremely* disturbing and revealing.

Sec CC.

​@GMPetti yeah I see that a lot. Like 'I was hit as a kid and turned out fine'...but did you since you still think that's a solution?

I had this too. Now i struggle with literally everything about adult living. Hang in there friend ❤️

@@kaywhy15 I’m sorry you had the same experience friend - and likewise to you 💕

Same and still In therapy. I don’t even like yelling at my son and when I do yell at him I feel like poop after.

Same here 😔

I was never spanked and I know I'm a better more loving person that has never been violent in my life. Its never ok

Wow 👏🏻

Very eurocentric

@@roleatsoo it’s ok to hit your kids if you’re not white? also, why would you want someone to speak on a culture that they’ve not a part of and have never experienced?

​@@roleatDo you think non-European kids aren't affected by being hit by their caregivers or what?

I'm so late to this comment, sorry, but I wanted to add something. It's not only spanking that needs to be eradicated. My brother believes in spanking, but I do not. He told me that the screaming, swearing and humiliation was always so much worse than the spanking, so he thinks it's a less cruel form of discipline. It hit me... We were just raised in abuse and that's all he knows. My brother is going for spanking, because he thinks it's the kind way to discipline (how fucked up, right?). My father was the most terrifying when he was *threatening* to hit us. My mother's hour long screaming rages where she'd follow you to your room to continue screaming at you were much worse than making you bend over so she could spank you with the wooden spoon. With my father the hitting was normally out of the blue, so it was a shock, but not nearly as scary as his threats. Like you, I mostly remember being afraid of him, hiding from him in case he's in a bad mood. I don't really speak to him much now. Maybe once every 3-4 months max. Long winded comment! Sorry! Anyway, what you said about fearful memories really resonated with me, so here's an essay.

That is so so so unbelievably scary and cruel. I hate that any of you children had to live with that constant fear and anxiety. So sad and inhumane

I'm so sorry that you dealt with that. That's so awful

how the heck could u learn w an open concept where u can hear all the other teachers lecturing? thats wild.

Wow the fact that it was legal for teachers to spank children at school blows my mind. I’m so sorry you had to experience that.

🤩🤩🤩

If the answers to anti-mlm could be one video a lot of those channels would be over fast. They can make constant content about the topic is because mlm company's are constantly coming up with new messed up tactics. Being anti-mlm is a moving target

i think perhaps this could be a topic better covered with producers, writers, etc.

It’s very predatory, and without over generalizing it seems to me that the “prey” are mothers who are drawn to the facade of community and sisterhood when they may be feeling isolated and/or a bit purposeless. I think it would be helpful to give those watching friends or family being suckered ideas on how to encourage them to see past the razzle dazzle. Like actually looking at the financials of these companies! Love that you talked about that. You’re a very clever, compassionate, and insightful woman, I hope you know that, feel it, and are proud of yourself 🐞

I went through the same thing as well as my siblings and I can tell you it’s definitely affected each of us today. All it did was humiliate and instill fear. I took a psychology class in college and we did a child development section and studies showed that it didn’t teach children anything. Like Kristie said, it’s the lazy way out

I was lost and sold pampered chef. As someone who did that bc thats how we are told to do it and how could people not want us to succeed and want to support our small buis i am sorry for all the dms and cold calls. You deserve people who want to just have coffee with you not sell you a pyramid dream

Me, but with being forced to hug family members. I ask my niece and nephew if I can have a hug and say it's OK when they say no. I go with their comfort level. I was forced to hug family as a child and I had such a misconstrued idea of what consent I could give for actions that happened to my body. It seems wild that such an innocent interaction affected me so much but it really did. So I refuse to contribute to that feeling with my nieces and nephew.

I totally agree

@@sisiwx6154i dealt with the same thing and really respect what you’re doing. I’m doing the same with my kiddo and other kids in my life. Children are real human beings and deserve to have as much agency and control over their own bodies as we can safely give them. If you consistently subvert this with a child, you end up with grown ups that don’t understand that they (or other people) are allowed to say no when it comes to their own bodies which obviously leads to bad stuff.

@@sisiwx6154 It's not an "innocent" interaction, sure no harm was meant but try imagining anyone else being forced to do that, it's uncomfortable, disrespectful as hell and wrong, it comes from the fact no body cares at all about children's consent on anything ever, which if we replace "child" with "woman" (or any other group for that matter) we see it as a "bigotry" well if it's a bigotry to do it to everyone else then it's sure as hell one to do it to them too.

I'm 37 and I'm still absolutely certain that kids aren't for me. And although my family isn't the most stable one, at least they never nagged me for kids, which is great.

@@Ichneumonxx same. I'm 39 :))

i had the same experience. i didnt want kids, even when i was married. after i got divorced i got back together w my first love and wanted a baby so bad. it was weird. we got preg but miscarried and my fiance passed away a year later. its been 2 years and im planning on having a baby w my best guy friend. ill be 38 this saturday. people do change their mind, but its ok if they dont. i had a LOT of reasons i didnt want kids, mainly not wanting to be like my mother who has 4 kids w 4 dads. now im feeling the guilt and my age is making me worried it will be hard, but i just wasnt ready when i was younger. it wasnt even a thought on my radar.

@@trailertrish your reasoning is right there - you didn't want children because of your negative role model. Not because of you. I have never felt the need to have a child. There was never "why not to have a child" for me, but straight up - "why would anyone ever want to have kids"...

Sometimes it changes and sometimes it doesn't but even if it did, it doesn't invalidate your desire to not have them at any point in time. It's always funny people will say "you'll change your mind" about not wanting children but no one ever says that "one day you'll change your mind and not want children anymore"

🧠🤦🤮

Not hitting my child is quite possibly the *easiest* thing I’ve ever done so I’d speak for yourself in that regard, but bravo to you for making that choice for the well-being of your babies. 👏🏻👏🏻

Exactly! Like the saying goes, If your child is too young to communicate about what they did wrong, why are you hitting them? & if they’re old enough to communicate about what they did wrong, why are you hitting them?

When my kid was about 4 my dad asked if we ever spanked her. It caught us off guard and we said no. He has a perplexed look on his face and then started talking about fear is a powerful motivator. I was like okay maybe for WAR but for family and children?? It was so strange...

​@@nicoleshenk5885yeah, my husband's family is the same way. My husband used to think that spanking was okay (we don't have kids yet) but as he's gotten older he is horrified at the idea of hitting family, be it humans or your pets.

Omg this! I had gen X mom, but most of my school peers had boomer parents and I remember then complaining about the slogan - kids are not a property. I also remember some of them saying that children have no rights and nobody will tell her what to do with her own kids. 😮

Same! I grew up being spanked but it was occasional and not in a way I would consider abusive, but it's really stuck with me after I saw KZfaqr Mama Doctor Jones (she's an OBGYN) state "if a child is too young to understand yoir words then theyre too young to understand why you're hitting them, don't hit them, that's abuse. If they are old enough to understand your words, use your words. Don't hit your kids." And it's really stuck with me. I don't think my parents were abusive, they only used their hands, it was only ever 1-3 swats, and there was usually a sit down explanation of why before or after. But also, after years of learning about child development in school, I think everything else they did with the discipline was why I turned out stable, and the spanking was unnecessary because the spanking isn't what taught me anything. It was the loving and gentle explanations only what I did wrong and why they needed to correct me.

Hard same! 🥲

Nice to see someone admit it's a failure of the parent. and just nice to see someone stop doing any abusive act becoming a better person ❤

​@@alisonmercer5946when you know better you HAVE to do better and I needed a little extra help with that. Thank you. We owe it to our children to be better versions of ourselves!

There is also the, IMO, less clunky "disingenuity".

I was old school spanked (and I haven't gotten to this part of the video) but recently I have been having sort of....break downs about it. It's really hard. I just saw your comment and wanted to say I relate.

I was just thinking about how my mom literally washed my mouth out with soap one time when I was a kid and then I did it to MY daughter. For something not even that bad, like it was just some horrible gremlin inside me that was waiting to attack the same way I was attacked. It's awful. I think about kids who are really abused and how much strength it takes to break that cycle.

I remember locking myself in the bathroom because when my mom got mad at me it was every kind of abusive possible and it was the only way I knew how to stall the inevitable in hopes that she’d cool off.

@@SuperSarahbop 🙁 I hope you are happy and healthy now.

I also don't know who that person is LOL.

Ditto…I have never heard of Colleen B. I had to Google her to find out who she is. I would never subscribe to her anyway.

Yeah I had no clue who she was either I have watched 3 different people's video's on her and they all have said the same thing about her.

I wasn't paddled, but I was made to sit with my left hand behind my back when I was in kindergarten, in public school. This was the 90s...When you're that little, you do what the teacher tells you. It sucks your mom was paddled & I will never understand the whole "left handed people are evil" thing as long as I live

That is heartbreaking!!!

​@@ashleyb7139holy shit the 90s??😮 I'm lefthanded and so is my mom. My mom is from 45 and she had to have her left hand behind her and use the right. I love being lefthanded, it makes me feel special ❤️

​@ashleyb7139 I am left handed and was in public school in the 90s and never experienced any issues that is insane. I actually have had more issues and comments now in my 30s about how I do my work left handed so I guess what I didn't have to deal with bull crap many before me had to unfortunately deal with just by being a left hander in school. I find that insane in the 90s in public school what you have to deal with and I'm sorry you experienced that .

​@@ashleyb7139my friend had the same thing happen to him. We are 34. His kindergarten teacher made him sit on his left hand. Which ya is mind blowing this was the 90s. My dad got a meter stick on his hands by the nuns who taught him but that was the 60s. So ya. We should be better to kids. They are people to.

Mmm bc ythis you k y😅

Exactly this - it is lazy! If you're going to have kids, do the hard work of teaching them the right way. And that is a little different for every kid, so you have to know your kids too.

It absolutely is lazy and it only creates a fear response. The kid doesn't understand why what they did may be wrong, they only know not to do it again because they don't want to get hit

Couldn’t agree more! It is totally lazy

Absolutely. I had to ask people, like every time you did something wrong or made someone frustrated or angry it should be fine to smack or pop you upside your head right? They can always find that behavior to be unacceptable (especially as adults who should now better) but can't understand why that's not ok when it comes to children who are learning and navigating growing up. I was whooped as a child and it has only made me angry and resentful of my parents and while I love them, I don't trust them. I'm still healing from it.

Wow that was definitely NOT ok to say to their kid

My mom told me if she knew ahead of time how miserable and how much I’d struggle in life she wouldn’t have chosen to have me after I told her I wish I was never born, I was also a teen at the time. Struggling with bullying and a fresh diagnosis of bipolar type II. I think she meant she didn’t wish for me to be dealing with all that though.

Damn, that's a dark thing to say to a child.

Cuz you weren't spanked, you were ABUSED!!!

​@EdnaStMary spanking is abuse. Plain and simple. If your partner "spanked" you for misbehaving you wouldn't think it was "just spanking". You wouldn't think it was "spanking" if it was allowed for your boss to do so if you fucked up at work. Children have no rights in this country and people bend over backwards to justify it because of a lack of introspection and emotional maturity.

@@EdnaStMaryit’s one and the same for a child’s brain and development. Spanking is abuse
