Well, that and the fact they they will each take a maximum one bite out of one item, maybe a slurp of OJ or coffee, then just leave the rest of the ten-person feast sitting on the counter.

With full sunlight in the house, everyone well dressed and smiling. Yeah sure. My family mornings looks like a Walking Dead episode

Mine looks like a prologue to the walking dead, where none of us manage to escape being taken because of poor cardio health and kids who couldn't put their shoes on in a hurry if all our lives literally depended on it. In the end, though, you only feel sorry for the pets.

Breakfast wasn't possible but before we all got married and moved away, we used to eat dinner together every night.

My daughter starts school at 7.30 a.m. some days - no fricking way we're eating breakfast together before 7 a.m.!

Unless she's there for something before class starts, that's too dang early! My son starts at 8:40am. It's perfect for us

Yeah, this. My son gets fed breakfast before school but I'm never hungry when I wake up so it's more just me or my wife hanging out while he eats. One thing that always got me are cereal commercials and the whole "part of a complete breakfast" thing. With the glass of milk AND orange juice on the table next to a slice of toast and strawberries on the side.

My family, surprisingly, managed that until I was maybe half-way through elementary. Then we were all sort of on the same schedule. Eventually we all had our own morning routine and looking back, I can’t believe we ever pulled it off, because if we tried to do it now, we’d fail miserably.

It was a rotation of who wasn't in the bathroom or sleeping still. Microwave quick oats with brown sugar and milk for everyone.

We used to eat breakfast together and oh boy, it was nightmare!

We are all adults in my family. We all sit at our computer desks to eat our dinner, nobody actually eats breakfast, just grab something along the way, and when we want to talk we knock on a door and tell them we need to talk about whatever sh!t we did that day.

If they even eat it! One of my biggest pet peeves in movies is when there’s a literal smorgasbord, the kids come down, take a sip of juice, the mom starts yelling at them that they’re going to be late, and they leave - everything untouched

A typical family dinner consists of my 6yo kid brother saying he doesn't like the food that was made (when he has only looked at it), taking half an hour to take one bite before screwing around and talking non-stop lol. And my parents scolding him before usually putting him to bed.

Mid 70’s yes we sat down for breakfast together, mom and youngest sister, neither were morning people. Mom trying to button uniform and swatted her arm away, she was six years old and the baby of the family i.e. not raised with the same discipline as the rest of us. She tells mom stop dammit! Mom proceeds to whale on her doing the one arm circle dance. Dad raises his newspaper so he doesn’t have to watch it and the rest of us are trying not to laugh because we knew we would be next.! We believe it was the first time she was ever smacked. Dad was laughing too! Best of memories!!!!

Where everyone likes the same thing, bacon is always fried, waffles, pancakes, eggs, ok, I mean seriously, did movie directors watch " Stop, Or My Mon Will Shoot! " And think; " so that's how everybody eats breakfast....?? "
Nikki Gross 1 year ago
Yeah, no way in hell did that happen in my house. Breakfast was whatever cereal and pop-tarts that was on sale at the store when Mom did the grocery shopping.

I can count on one hand the number of dinners my nuclear family had. Breakfast was just trying to grab the crapsnacks that may or may not be in the pantry.

YES! My dad and bro leave earlier than me, and either dad doesn't come back and mom drives me to school, or dad comes back while mom sleeps and drives me to school, and then mom goes to work. Eating breakfast together on a weekday is a MYTH.
Boundaries make any relationship, whether familial, platonic, romantic, or professional better. It’s true! When everyone’s on the same page, embraces transparency, and is open to clear communication, there are fewer misunderstandings. And the ones that do occur (some are inevitable) quickly get solved because both people are open to voicing their feelings and looking for compromises.
That being said, it’s often hard to set and enforce boundaries with your relatives because they’re, well, family! If you don’t have experience doing this, you might end up feeling slightly guilty saying ‘no’ or calling out bad behavior.
Licensed marriage and family therapist Laurie Carmichael told Time magazine that you need to articulate your boundaries to others, once you’ve figured them out for yourself. You can try to set a clear chain of consequences.
For instance, you could tell your parents that if they comment on your clothes again that you’ll excuse yourself from the dinner table. Similarly, you can make it crystal clear that if your parents make negative comments about your partner, both of you won’t be coming over for dinner again.
Meanwhile, the Taylor Counseling Group urges people to put their personal needs first. Especially ahead of difficult family members. “People who deal with difficult family members frequently find that they’re ignoring their personal needs in favor of their family’s.
Whether you have to eat or sleep or just need some time to yourself, you must put those necessities first before addressing the needs of others. Remember, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of other people.”

Nothing is more important than good people caring for you. If your family is not... Well you have to leave them. Best decision of my life to quit familly relations that were toxic as hell

My mother in law asking me why her phone is so slow... 125 apps opened, 400 mails, all notifications and spam attacking every minute.
The ‘Me IRL’ online community has grown absolutely massive over the years. Currently, they have around 7.6 million members. Many of them are active content creators who reshare hilarious images they find online. Some of them even take the time to craft their own original memes, too!
The true sign that you’ve got a successful meme on your hands is that it goes viral. The more relatable the topic and idea are, the more they resonate with your target audience. That relatability makes folks want to share it with their family, friends, colleagues, and followers.

Sounds like a win. You don't even have to hang out with them unless you go to the beach or the labyrinth

However, there’s a strong element of luck involved in meme-making. To put it simply, you can’t ever be sure that your meme will entertain others as much as you expect. So, it’s best not to worry about views, clicks, likes, and comments. Instead, focus on two things: consistency and quality.
In other words, post your internet memes consistently. Stick to your schedule, whatever it is, no matter what.

Das me! 😂 My family would disown me if I told thwm just a quarter of my new worldviews since moving abroad 🙃
At the same time, polish up your memes so they stand out from the crowd. Try to use higher-quality images. Meanwhile, make sure that your captions are short, punchy, witty, and written in a readable font. You don’t want to lose your audience, which likely has a short attention span, because your meme takes too much effort to ‘get.’

My dad and his mates when they were young had a "sh!tt!ng tree". Briefly...there was a fork in branch that was imaginatively used when caught short playing out.... This is a true story. My therapy is very expensive
According to the moderators running ‘Me IRL,’ the subreddit came out of ‘semi-lockdown mode’ a couple of months ago. The so-called lockdown lasted around six weeks. There’d been a massive surge in internet bot posts made on the sub, so the mods decided to only allow approved redditors to post memes. However, this led to a drought of content.
#22
Fortunately, the situation has changed for the better. The moderator team now allows everyone to submit posts on r/me_irl. However, each post still needs to get the moderators’ approval before they go live. This is to ensure that the users behind the posts are actual human beings, not bots. If you want to be an approved member of the community, feel free to reach out to the moderators via the modmail function (in the sidebar of the sub).

"Ooooohhhh, okay." *Me missing the first dozen years of the gossip and pretending to understand it all from hearing five minutes*
The moderators ask the members of their community to keep a few key rules in mind. For example, this isn’t the place to post edgy memes. There are other subreddits for this. Meanwhile, the content on r/me_irl has to be safe for work and suitable for most internet users.
What’s more, every member is expected to treat everyone else with respect. The community is expected to avoid posting generic memes and instead share images that are “a selfie of your soul.”

Which of these memes did you enjoy the most and why? Were there any that really resonated with you on a deeper level? Did you send any of the wittier ones to your relatives, dear Pandas? How do you deal with any disagreements or drama at home?
We’d love to hear what you have to say. Drop by the comment section if you have a second!

Growing up, I thought my parents were working hard to support me, so I had to forgive the neglect and abuse. Then I became an adult and realized they were too proud to ask for help or rely on anyone. They actively chose to make things worse for our family in order to hide the abuse rather than seeking assistance.

When I was on holiday with a friend in Albania, a country run on duct tape it seems, it was surprisingly difficult to source some to temporarily stick something back on our hire car. We ended up having to use kinesiology tape and sticking plasters, using our phone light and both on our backs under a car at night. We made it!

Our parents never sought to get the two of us assessed for anything when we struggled and didn't fit in at school (The doctor told our mum that my then-toddler older sibling was the most anxious baby they'd ever seen) We figured out it was because our family is SO full of ADHD, ASD and AuADHD, that our oddities just never stuck out to them.
