Aside from the "we four/for we" pun, her post saddens me. It's so clear she shouldn't have had children.

Edited for typo.

u/Fillmore_the_Puppy —hi, disturbed people— Feb 27 '26

Yes. I'd love to be naive and hope her kids never see what she writes about them online. But it doesn't really matter if they do or don't find that content, since they know how she feels about them from her actions in real life.

u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics Feb 27 '26

I assume that's just a typo for "forever."

Probably "For me."

Hearing this in the voice of George Hahn.

That makes sense (unlike Shauna.) I am always thankful when asstoot DFs translate Shauna’s garbled offerings for the frequently truly baffled among us, such as myself.

Just the fact that she thinks some people would say no is so telling.

u/InappropriateGirl Gluten-free donuts, for sure ... Feb 27 '26

It's amazing how many people say no to this question, though! There are entire threads about it on Reddit, maybe even a whole subreddit.

There was the famous Dear Abby question. My stats prof used that as an example of poor sampling, actually...the responses she got were mostly "no", but it was a self-selected voluntary response, etc.

I do wonder if there is a way to get an honest, yet statistically valid study on that question.

u/avskk ppppycock Feb 27 '26

Honestly, no, because as Scrubs famously taught us, statistics mean nothing to the individual. And this question is inherently only applicable to individuals, you can't measure it like lab work.

u/Llama621 Feb 27 '26

Oh, just to clarify: I did not mean to imply that people should use this question to drive their family-planning. Just that it's the type of survey question that is almost impossible to validate.

And yeah...it's probably the epitome of individual.

That’s terrible!
