Despite How Close You Might Be With Your Partner, Folks Online Suggest You Never Share These 30 Things So That Your Relationship Will Last

That's so awful! Like she never had thoughts that could be used against her. My folks read my diary when I was a teen. Worst part is they never gave it back!

If You Think Parenting Is Challenging, You’re Not Alone, And Here Are 30 Funny Memes From ‘Satirical Mommy’ To Prove It

Of course parents sacrifice things for their kids. Even if they choose to do so, it is still a sacrifice. Happens over big things like money and jobs, and little things like leaving places early or when they eat. This post seems to suggest parenthood isn't hard, and shouldn't feel hard. But that's just not realistic and could've damaging to someone who is struggling and feeling guilty.

Someone Wonders "What’s The Worst Thing You’ve Come Home To?" And 30 People Deliver Honest Answers

I heard buzzing when I opened the curtains in the big bay window in my sitting room, called my dad to see what was what as I'm allergic to wasp string and had previously had two anaphylactic shocks due to stings. He discovered a tiny how with wasps going in and out but it turned out there was a nest in the roof of the bay window. Scary for me, I moved out for a couple of days whilst the professionals dealt with it!

Despite How Close You Might Be With Your Partner, Folks Online Suggest You Never Share These 30 Things So That Your Relationship Will Last

I wrote a journal for many years but stopped when as an adult my mum took my journal (not the one I was writing) and read it. She later told family members what I'd written and used it in arguments against me. That was several years ago and I stopped writing the day I found out my trust had been broken. I recently bought a house with my partner and he told me if I wanted to write again he promised me he would never look. So I am back writing every day, my journal ives on my desk and I have no doubt my partner will keep his word. The only time I will move it is when my mother visits!

“This Doesn't Add Up": Woman Claps Back At Haters Who Don't Get How She Can Have A "Handsome" And "Physically Fit" Husband

I have experienced the same except for us it's because I am disabled by chronic illness and am a wheelchair user. People don't get that my partner loves me; I've had people say he must be with me because he feels sorry for me, as well as cruel comments asking about our sex lives insinuating that he must "have a fetish" or worse that he must be cheating because everyone knows a disabled person can't have sex (sorry that's sarcasm do those who might miss the point). It can be really hurtful but he always challenges people on their attitude when he witnesses it. People just can't seem to see past my disability or my wheelchair, as if that's all I am. He would tell you a list of the reasons he loves me, and the only reason my health would be mentioned would be that he admires how I deal with all the pain and complications I have to deal with. I'm lucky but he would say he is too.

30 Common Cooking Mistakes That Amateurs Make That Annoy These Chefs

In and deal works everybody would have all the right equipment but we don't live in that world; everybody doesn't even have enough to eat! Plus it doesn't change the taste in most cases. The wrong knife might make cutting trickier but no one is really going to notice unless you are cooking for someone like this OP! Let's normalise not having great big insta worthy kitchens full of everything you're ever going to need and instead know that most people have smaller kitchens and mismatched cookware yet still feed their families 3 times a day.

30 Common Cooking Mistakes That Amateurs Make That Annoy These Chefs

Maybe some people don't have the means to buy proper equipment and try their best with what they have. I've often cooked without having the right equipment and everything has turned out lovely. I worked in a small community kitchen for years and if someone was using something I needed then I improvised, fork as a whisk for scrambled eggs no problem, as long as the knife is sharp, ill cut whatever with it, Cant find the colander then gimme the big lid lol. Now big difference when baking then give me all the proper equipment lol

Pushing my wheelchair to "help" me and be a "gentleman". You're literally abducting me - it's no different from my perspective that you picking up an able-bodied woman and running off with her.

People Share 40 Things That Are True But That No One Wants To Hear

This comment goes beyond Trump to so many other US politicians: When it is more important to you to stay in power instead of governing, you are not the person for the job. When you are proud of blocking *any* legislation just to block it, you are not the person for the job. If you are not willing to learn the basics of working together, you are not the person for the job.

"Weaponizing My Femininity": 15 Y.O. Girl Gets Called A Jerk For Throwing A Tantrum After Getting Regularly Harassed At School

You have shown yourself to be as bad as the teacher and pupil in this situation. Stop with your rudeness and consider finding some empathy! She is the opposite of mentally weak as she didn't react badly the first time instead only took action after it escalated and the teacher refused to do his job and step in to stop the bullying.

This rubs me the wrong way. Of course, I don’t know his sons situation and it might very well be that he was extremely disabled in other ways than just the wheelchair. But a wheelchair is not a chain. A wheelchair enables people to do stuff they otherwise can’t. Its freedom!

"Dirty Little Secrets" That Companies Hide From The Public Get Revealed By These 35 Ex-Employees Online

The USA have a very unusual attitude to those who serve in its military. There seems a glorification of anyone in uniform. It's definitely not like that where I'm from.

"Dirty Little Secrets" That Companies Hide From The Public Get Revealed By These 35 Ex-Employees Online

Doctors aren't perfect by a long way, but human beings aren't robots and often there are a hundred reasons for any given symptom. The doctor has to decide which it is, based on relatively little information or evidence. Yes there are arrogant ones out there; I commented on another post about making a formal complaint about a gynaecology surgeon, but I think we need to put into perspective what we are asking doctors to do. A&E (emergency room) doctors see everything from toothache to broken bones to cancer, trauma of every kind, in everybody from babies to the elderly, people with complex illnesses to people normally healthy. They see rare stuff and stuff they see 20 times a week yet might present differently every time. Not easy at all

As OP pointed out, not everybody living in USA, who is posting on twitter. Totally believable in an eastern-european country, for example. In Eastern-Europe many, like 80% of the population has own properties, especially the population over 50. That's a long story of 45 years of communist-system.

I have been misgendered all my life because I am not stereotypically feminine. And you know what I learned? That it did not matter (unless people made it to be rude and sexist) because it does not matter if i am a man or a woman, I am myself. So while I am a woman i do not mind if people make a mistake and say "he" because of sexism. Same with homophobia. Many people tought that I must be lesbian. I never corrected them because i see nothing wrong with being lesbian, even tought I am not (probably bi but thats a dofferent conversation). Sexist people in the past really needed to know if i was a woman bevause they needed to know how to treat men (since they treat women differently). Nowadays supposedly liberal people do the same and need to know your pronouns so they know how tobtreat you. To what stereotype force you.

It is an over compensation jn my opinion. They mean well but they are becoming as dogmatic and categorical as the conservatives. Before we had box A and box B and you could not leave them. We started getting rid of the boxes but suddenly it went backwards. Now there are more boxes than A and B but we are back in the old stereotypes of what a man and a woman are. Its very sad.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender?

A grumpy perspective from an older gay guy. Those who prefer alternative pronouns are generally a little easier to identify as they don’t tend to conform with stereotypes, which is fine. “Gender bending” as it was referred to years ago, for better or worse. I get it - you don’t fit societal norms. So the proper thing to do is ask politely and respect their choice. But for many, this new generation of asking about pronouns is a ludicrous irritant. The notion that there are 50+ genders out there is just beyond farce. Utter drivel. From a medical perspective, it can be downright irresponsible. I don’t care what you “wanna be”. But if you were born with ovaries or testicles, better damn well let me know ahead of a medical intervention, lest we accidentally cause harm. And as for your sexual preferences, totally your own business. And straight colleagues who have to have their pronouns in an email signature drives me insane. It’s like people with different pronouns are suddenly in the vast majority. No… you have boobs or use a urinal. Sometimes even both. I’m gonna put my neck on the line and take a wild guess. 99/100 times, I’ll be on the money. We are putting waaay too much emphasis upon this. It’s now creating a divide by categorising people like species. Best compliment for an LGBTQ+ person is not to give a damn, because it’s no more interesting than the colour of their eyes. Treat others as you wish to be treated and if you make an error, they’ll correct you, so just apologise and move on.
