[instiz] IF YOU DON’T GIVE BIRTH, YOU DON’T REALLY AGE
“If you don’t have kids, you don’t age as much.
You really, really don’t age as much. The biggest factor contributing to aging: raising kids.”
“Ah, I totally agree with this… No matter how young they are, there’s a clear difference in appearance between women who’ve had kids and those who haven’t… In fact, older women who haven’t had kids often look younger because of that unique “mom vibe”… And while they might insist they look young and deny it, they’re the only ones who don’t realize that…”
“There’s someone who doesn’t realize this about themselves… but more than anyone else, it’s you, lady…”
“The reason parenting is so hard isn’t just because it’s physically exhausting or because you’re starving, it’s the patience required to turn a pure, innocent child with an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex and no common sense into a human being that makes you age prematurelyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why can’t they eat their shoes at the front door? Why can’t they pick up and eat snacks that fell on the street? why they shouldn’t play in their own pee, or why they shouldn’t hit their friends just because they’re angry, constantly teaching them social rules and apologizing to everyone around me made me ageㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ After going through all that, I’m so exhausted I become one with the couch. And then I start having philosophical thoughts about how daycare and high school teachers even manage to keep their jobs.”
“I was talking to my older unnie about this yesterday, too…
If you have a baby in your 20s, you might still have the physical stamina, but you lose that youthful vitalityㅠㅠㅠㅜ. Back in the day, people used to say you could instantly tell who’d had a baby, but these days, you can tell just by looking at how they handle childcare, seriously”
“These middle-aged women are so strange. Why do they try to argue with science? Every time you go through pregnancy and childbirth, your whole body ages three years in a flash, and your skin elasticity is completely different.ㅠ It’s not like childless women have skin that just clings to their bones for no reaso, what kind of nonsense is that? It’s not like they’re complaining about looking young, is it??”
“I know some 50 y.o women who are single and haven’t had kids, and their skin and facial expressions are genuinely clearer and more radiant than anyone else’s. They don’t have a single wrinkle ㅜㅜ My husband even says they never seem to age whenever he sees them.”
“Seriously, when you look at women who’ve never been married or childless double-income families, their faces are so bright and peaceful, they just don’t seem to have any stress ㅋㅋㅋ”
You’ll be shocked when you learn about the entire process of pregnancy and childbirth.
For example, if a pregnant woman has low blood calcium levels, what do you think will happen?
The placenta. How is it formed? Try to guess…
It’s beyond your imagination…”
“Even after having a baby, if I don’t eat just anything and exercise regularly, I won’t age…
> But if you raise kids without a break, you’ll age.”
“Once you have a baby, even slim people start to look different from behind…
And… I noticed that unmarried women look the youngest.
Getting married makes you look older, but once you add childbirth and childcare to the mix, it’s like boarding a high-speed train to rapid aging.”
“Setting aside whether or not you have kids,
you can really tell the difference between men with kids and those without.”
“I totally agree.
Especially childbirth, it accelerates the aging of my body…”
1. Agree, this is for real
2. Since it was a Catholic school, there were many nuns on the faculty, and even though the principal was nearing retirement age, her skin was clear and beautiful
3. For real, there’s nothing you can do to help this..
4. My older cousin had two kids in her 20s, and she does look young for her age, right? But she definitely has that mom vibe, when she’s with people her own age, she just can’t help but come across as a mom
5. People were vehemently denying it, but this is actually true
6. But you can definitely tell the difference between a guy who’s a dad and one who’s single, even though it’s the woman who gives birthㅋㅋㅋ
7. It’s true. I work at a female-dominated office, so I see married and single people of all ages, but
I’ve actually said, “Really?!! You mean Ms. XXX and Ms. XXX are the same age?????” so many times
8. That’s right. I saw my older cousin after she had a baby, and I was shocked at how dry and rough her skin looked. Her back had gotten wider, too… It seems like giving birth and raising a child really takes a toll on you
9. If you’re gonna have a kid, you should have them early
10. Of course… I saw a mom who’s eight years younger than me, but I thought she was my ageㅠ But since she has a child, I guess that’s what matters most
