I like to think of it like the Superman effect. He did not expect to see her there, especially not as a servant girl, since she'd looked like a rich princess. He almost didn't see her at all since the stepmother looked her away when the prince showed up. So I don't think it wasn't that he didn't recognize her, but that he just had no way of knowing who she was, where she lived, or how she looked like normally

This reminds me of the time I found one of the 5 packs of Hot Wheels my brother bought himself with hs own money on my bed. I had been really upset I couldn’t have one as I’d spent my allowance already. My brother did something to make me feel better and it meant a lot to me. That night we played together on his rug that looked like a city. We used to play Xbox together too.
“Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane, I still couldn't make it on time”
sang The Bangles in their iconic ’80s song about the manic Monday, summing up the sentiment many of us are well familiar with. Waking up on Monday morning, we might refrain from singing, but we, too, “Wish it was Sunday.”
While it likely comes as no surprise, data suggests that for most people, Monday is the most hated working day of the week. A 2023 research paper carried out by Zety found that as much as 41% of respondents put Monday at the top of the list as the most hated workday, followed by Wednesday, Tuesday, Friday, and Thursday, respectively.

According to the aforementioned research, the main reasons for hating Mondays are experiencing the heaviest workload of the entire week, having loads of meetings, often including a report meeting with the boss, and feeling the least motivated and productive.
These reasons also likely add to why as much as 80% of respondents say that Mondays are the most stressful day of their week.

For some people, Mondays are so stressful, the dread starts the day before. Known as the Sunday scaries, the anxiety over the upcoming start of yet another week is something that negatively affects not only people’s weekends but their mental well-being, too.
The research found that 8% of respondents always experience the Sunday scaries whenever the weekend is nearing its end. As many people, though, don’t know the feeling at all. One in ten say they get the scaries often, one in five do rarely, and more than half—54%, to be exact—of respondents say they only feel the Sunday scaries sometimes.
The research found that more men than women (14% vs. 3%) have never experienced what such anxiety on Sundays feels like.

My marriage went downhill after I realized how JEALOUS I was of our dog because of the time and affection my huband gave him. :(
Talking about why so many people find Mondays stressful, Magda Klimkiewicz, senior HR business partner at Zety, emphasizes that for most of them, the day marks the start of a new work week. “This transition from a more relaxed routine to the demands and stresses of work obligations can be difficult. It often also means a drastic shift in sleeping patterns, causing fatigue or other physical and mental symptoms,” she told HDR.
“I believe that this transition is what makes Mondays so stressful. The hatred people feel is therefore rooted in the emotional and psychological challenges of adjusting to the new week rather than any inherent qualities of the day itself. It can sometimes also simply be an indication of people not liking their own jobs.”

Second of five here. Mom would lock us out of the house on Saturday so she could clean the house. It was the only time she could do it.
Even if you don’t hate your job, the shift in sleeping patterns alone can have quite a significant effect on your well-being or your views towards Monday. Delving deeper into that, Professor-in-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UC San Diego, Thomas Rutledge, Ph.D., noted that many people follow a significantly different sleep schedule from Monday to Friday than from Friday to Sunday, which can mess with their internal clock and hormone cycles.
According to the expert, the shift in sleep patterns can affect the levels of cortisol—the primary stress hormone in our bodies—that typically rise one to two hours before a person wakes up for school or work, as well as the levels of melatonin that usually peak in the evenings as the person goes to bed before another day at school or work.

Load More Replies...Dr. Rutledge continued to point out that “Many other hormones partly regulated by circadian mechanisms such as estrogen, testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, insulin, and other appetite hormones all scramble to catch up.
“These hormone cycles have profound effects not only on our feelings of well-being but even on the function of our internal organs. Therefore, when we’re out of alignment with our natural sleep schedules, we become vulnerable to a host of negative physical and psychological consequences.”
Following an “all-over-the-place” sleep schedule, Mondays become difficult to bear, as “our cortisol levels are now peaking during our commute to work and across the morning instead of before waking up. Increased stress and negative affect are the subjective results,” the expert explained.

I think when you are around age 10, you cannot really fathom being 12 or 14 or any older age than the one you currently are. Kids don't really think about stuff like that, generally. I remember, decades ago in elementary school, the older kids were graduating to high school, and they were probably around 12 or so, and my 7 or 8-year-old brain thought they were in their late teens, maybe because some of them babysat me, and I just thought adults babysat kids.

So did Bruce Lee. My Mom had a gym class in college that started right after one that he was in, so he would be leaving just as she was coming in. I was so disappointed that I only learned of this when I was in my thirties, much too late to have told all his fan-boys I knew in junior high, "My Mom went to college with Bruce Lee."

I don't know if it was Axe or not (technically could have been as it was mid 80s), but this brings back memories of being on my aircraft carrier in the navy. I had a small office space (glorified vent room) behind the berthing area of another division. Young men, mostly black, airdales (worked on planes). When we were pulling into port and they were getting read to go ashore, the smell that would creep under the door crack was horrific. Basically, think if someone had a bottle of Axe and walked around their TV lounge spraying out the entire bottle. I'm sure it dissipated some by the time they got ashore but it would literally make my eyes water.

Sounds like perfect parenting to me. Our pediatrician flat out told us not to stress when a toddler goes through a food obsession because they typically move on in a couple of weeks and over the course of a year, they get more or less what they need.

I've always talked to children the same way I would speak to anyone, and apparently that's why kids love me.
David 8 months ago
I get it's a joke, but we really did talk to our kids like adults. Not subject - but I mean we didn't use baby words. By the time they were toddlers / still very young, folks were commenting on how articulate they were. They were not geniuses. But it's unrealistic to teach them the things around them are a "mooey mooey" or a "woof woof" and then expect them to suddenly know some day that they are "cow" and "dog" without a transition time / relearning. TLDR: "baby talk" is a waste of time except maybe when they are literally a very young baby.

My parents said the same, I told them I'd be fine on my own, they only needed to pay the bills and send me food money. So, they changed their strategy telling me I'd be sent to foster care and have to share a room with other kids. Now, that sounded terrifying to me: I didn't wanna go to school because I could hardly tolerate being social for so long. Having to be around people 24/7 with no way to escape would've been my worst nightmare.
