This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No, actually, I have an offspring who claims this label. They are smug about it in fact. They are not autistic, or disabled. They are goddamn lazy and content to let others take care of their every need. This is my experience with NEET. I wish them exactly what their choices in life return them. My disappointment was extremely heavy for a few years. That child had every opportunity, all the support and encouragement one could ask for. They are 25 years old now. This was their choice. I hate it for their SO who has been manipulated into accepting it and is now burdened by it. So, fuck you.

Sounds like someone who's choosing to be lazy instead of someone who is unable to work. Not the same thing, ignorant to say everyone who uses that label is the same as your sibling

I have no siblings and you apparently can't read.

Oh, just.works. Carry on.

God forbid I said sibling instead of offspring. Lord.

Idk why you're incredibly bitter, I get your kiddo manipulated other people into taking care of them, but that doesn't mean everyone else is your child and there's no exceptions.

Can we at least be on the same page and acknowledge not everyone who uses a label is the same exact person in the same exact situation?
