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

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

What a lovely photo!

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.

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.

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.

Do whatever works. Post-its work better for me.

Uh.. I like my sticky notes. I have pretty bad memory problems so having little notes all over the house really helps.

Use whatever method that suits your household. I use posit it's on occasion and they go in the paper recycle bin. I have running lists that is incorporated with my calendars for both work and personal engagements. Everyone needs to find a system that works for them. There is no right or wrong.

My husband is the worst at doing scraps of paper for recipes. I send a detailed email when I cook something we consider great. Thanks to key words and a search, they will be with me forever

Or you can use the phone in your hand...

Who Does the random scraps B.S. ? and Obsessive , Compulsive , Nuts, woman? Or man?

Easier still, I just pencil the notes on my walls.

What do you do with all the random scraps of paper? Throw them away? ... And, bought a book filled with paper. Now I lay me down to sleep. Please, don't let me hurt aninnocent while trying to get to these idiots.

I use a junk mail envelope, every day, I don't lose it but I do manage to accumulate a bunch of them floating around the house. 😂

This is why we have Alexa, we can access her anywhere in the house because I lose notebooks

I have a notes app on my phone so I don't lose the notes 😂

Not everyone can be Monica Frea*ing Geller with her phone pen!

I see you don't have kids.

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

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

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?)

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

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.

Omg amen!! I feel this one

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

how strong was her vacuum?

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.

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

What did she even inspect it for? Just curious.
