“I Refuse To Be Like My Mother”: Woman Shares 29 Things She Will No Longer Do Like Her Mother

In my country, you can take expired or surplus medication to a pharmacist, and they will safely dispose of it. It's is not a good idea to put it into the bin/trash.

WHO SAID IT IS A GENDERED JOB??? Where did this woman come from where changing a f*****g lightbulb is a "gendered job"???

The Millennial urge to keep the boxes that our cell phones came in. I was born in '84 and I still have no idea why I do this. But, thanks to the Internet, I know I'm not alone.

Oh this whole thing must be fake I guess, that's not possible

There is absolutely nothing wrong with have emergency food. In fact, it's recommended.

What a lovely photo!

An alternative, if you are not using the washing machine every day, is to have bucket of water, with some disinfectant in the water. When you use a cloth drop it into the water. When the bucket is full, or you're doing a load of laundry, add the rags. If you are using a front loading washing machine, put the rags into a laundry bag.

Thank you! I hate that people still won't carry something to drink with them . Don't leave home without it.

I see you don't have kids.

Omg amen!! I feel this one

Bleach has been proven to only lighten disperse mould spores not kill it, and is horrendous for the environment. Where I live, council cleaners are not allowed to use bleach, even if the customer provides it, for health and safety reasons. If you are worried about mould or germs, double-strength (cleaning) vinegar should be used, according to British scientific studies. Mould specific cleaners can be used if it is an established problem.

I cleaned my student tables with donated baby wipes. Same thing. Those wet soapy sponges look like they are cleaning but until you wipe the table after with a baby wipe you have no idea how dirty they still are. Art class. At the end of every class. An article I read of where kids get germs in school prompted this. It was a precovid article.

One little tear in the rubber and she's throwing it away, does the rest of it not work?

What did she even inspect it for? Just curious.

Anyone else think the tree behind her was her hair sticking out? 😂

To be fair, there was a marketing push through the 70s and 80s as to how bad butter was for you and how much healthier it was to use 'plant oil' margarine.

This whole post is basically about throwing stuff in the garbage...

I agree in case the old one is not used or it is not wearable anymore.

Maybe try not to use ‘single use items’ if you don’t like landfill.

Aaah the optimism in this... sure, when someone tells the same story you've heard a few times before, go on and listen it out. And don't interrupt someone who is having a monologue and making wrong assumtions along the way. And when they say they believe their hause is haunted and it should be burned down, believe it and encourage them... Point being: It's a nice concept but not good to use always.(Or maybe she means when people talk about certain subjects?)

I wash and reuse ziplocks, occasionally I need them. Don’t need to hoard but easy to wash and reuse, I don’t use half wrap

I still like going to the store or the market, because when ordering, it's a gamble, so I like to have the choice of which potato or whatever I take home.

yeah well, not everyone had 50-500 bucks to pay for a week or so of online groceries, some of us need to use food stamps, and need special stuff that we won't get and instead Sub for each time, Also going for groceries is the only time I'm able to leave the house ever 2 weeks since its hard to move

If I start ordering groceries depression will win

Must be nice to be able to just order whatever you like and have it delivered. I need to make sure I get what is on sale and can't afford delivery charges.

I ordered groceries once and I'll NEVER do it again. I get alot of fresh produce and I'll not let them give me all the wilted stuff ever again.

The two photos on the right side are very smug expressions, full on patronising.

I like to pick out meat, veggies and fruit myself.

Nope. When you order groceries the shoppers will always pick up what’s about to expire or already expired first. I’d rather not pay for slimy lettuce.

It has it's good points and it's bad like DforDory stated.

Ordering groceries wasn't even a common thing until recently. So she's shaming her mother for not using something that literally didn't exist exist? This daughter has issues.

I find ordering food to be great and usually I get just what I want. I have mobility issues and it saves time.

this could have been one screen. "we order groceries now" no need for all this extra nonsense.

Some people like to get out of the house now and again.

nope. i order the big shop online, and still got to the supermarket every couple of days. no1, sometimes i fancy something but dont know what it is, and no2, the reduced section. the freezer works, and if i find something awesome reduced i damned well buy it!

Bold move with all the recent stories about Instacart scammers

One day you will value the solitude of shopping alone, away from your life.

I prefer the best of the fresh produce, etc. So I do prefer going go to the grocery store.

I like getting everything I want and not substituted stuff thats not even remotely the same. Also I dont like paying double for my groceries plus a tip. Im ok with not being LAZY I can shop for myself. I dont like rotten fruit and broken eggs and smashed bread. No thanks.

Who cares? Try talking to human beings like you should and maybe get a human friend

This ones stupid she's just throwing away perfectly good socks because they don't have a matching one. Just match them up with a similar sock, if they have different coloured soles than it doesn't matter if your wearing enclosed shoes, no one will see them.

Just don't start to breasfeed them, change their nappies.... That would be weird.

That's nice, but what if you need to make a note when you're upstairs, or in the garage, or on the other side of the house from where your notebook is? XD There's nothing wrong with using random scraps of paper to write down memos and notes, as long as you dispose of them accordingly once you don't need them any more.

how strong was her vacuum?

my mom: just change your mindset! it's easy to just be happy!!!

So if the driver was driving like a f*****t you wouldn't tell them to stop? Okay.

I wear a wallet chain! I never lose my wallet because it's clipped to my pants! Though I do have to remember to switch it to whichever pair of pants/shorts I'm wearing that day from the previous day's pants XD
