Kids don’t need “gentle parenting” - they need boundaries
The Majestic Opossum 5 months ago
I agree with this, but I would say yes, and they need gentle parenting when those boundaries are crossed. Boundaries are important, but so is respect, discussion, allowing them to have boundaries of their own, and showing them love and kindness when they f*ck up, while still maintaining the boundaries and consequences that were set out.

The “good old days” weren’t actually better
Mel in Georgia 5 months ago
I'm a boomer, and the optimism and confidence I felt for the world in general back in the 70s is gone now. Know things have gone somewhat better for some people since then and definitely better for a lot of people before then, but I feel like now we're all on a downward trend.

Modern art is just expensive nonsense

You can't make a generalized statement like that and expect it to be true in all cases.

It’s okay to not care about birthdays - even your own
kzys59pcrp 5 months ago
I think you should care about others bdays if you love them and they care about bdays. Part of loving them is caring what they care about.

People stay in bad relationships just to avoid being alone
The Majestic Opossum 5 months ago
Many times, yes. But I don't agree where abüse is involved - the fear of leaving an àbusive partner is real and valid, even if they'd rather be alone.

Not wanting to meet your partner’s family is valid

If the partner is NC with their family, then yeah. Otherwise why wouldn't you?

You shouldn't wear outside shoes inside. If you want a pair of house shoes go for it.

I wear slippers indoors, but I don't have forty fits if people wear their shoes in my house. Because wearing slippers means my feet don't touch the floor, so no problems. I really don't understand the depth of eww. Obviously if you step in something that should have been picked up, you clean your shoes before entering, but apart from that.

There seems to be a certain divide between (flat) renters vs. house owners/inhabitants, and city vs. country folk where I live (northern Germany). We live rural, in an old farm house with a big garden, which serves as an outdoor sitting room in the summer. We (people around me, friends, family, neighbours) don't expect people to take off their shoes to cross the house for the garden and then put shoes on again - and we don't do it either. Also our floors are cold. Visiting people in the city "no shoes" is the standard.

Here's an idea - do whatever you want inside your OWN house! And don't worry what other people think.
Lady Eowyn 5 months ago
I always wear shoes in the house. Everybody I know wears shoes in the house. The only time I ever took my shoes off in the house was when I was gardening and riding horses/working at the barn, because they were muddy.

Your house your rules. I will judge you if you want to wear shows in your house but
UKDeek 5 months ago
I don't wear shoes in my house, but I never insist on anyone removing theirs when they visit, especially trades people. Some people at work insist on walking around in their socks, especially on nights, and I'm not a fan if this, especially considering the state of the floor.
Toothless Feline 5 months ago
I could agree with this only if it’s amended such that *outside* shoes are not worn inside and “inside” shoes are not worn outside. Also, allowances and contingencies have to be made for circumstances where you are going in and out repeatedly; it’s simply not practical to keep switching shoes at the door when bringing in groceries, for example.
Robert Benson 5 months ago
I grew up poor-ish. I had 1 pair of shoes and I had just enough socks to last 1 week. We weren't allowed to walk around in our socks, because they would get holes in them faster. So, shoes were kept on in the house, or you went bare-footed. Shoes were removed if you put your feet on a couch or something. Dirty shoes were removed at the entry, but you would then walk barefoot. This always seemed like a middle-class+ issue to me.

Lady Eowyn 5 months ago
Sandals. Learn to spell. Even if you are 60, which the whole universe knows by now, it is possible to learn new things rather than glorify in your ignorance.

Dragging in a combination of slush, roadsalt and gravel to the house all winter. Not to mention some surprise dog póo. 🤮
Ahnjunwan 5 months ago
Absolutely yes. No shoes inside, where does this behaviour come from? Maybe a cultural thing, most asian countries an absolute NO
nottheactualphoto 5 months ago
Of course we wear shoes inside. Where does this shoe-removing behavior come from? Yes, of course it's a cultural thing. Many people are not from east Asia. Surprisingly many people take the attitude that their own custom is so far superior, that all the world should be made to follow it.

Depends on the musical. Sound of Music is a very different movie than Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Soup is not a meal

Depends entirely on what sort of sort of soup and whether it is served alone or with toast or garlic bread.

Leftovers are better than the original meal

“Travel changes you” is just a cliché
Marian Spanik 5 months ago
Every long-term memory changes the person, it's how the brain works. But the change doesn't necessary make the person better or be noticeable at all.

Making your home “aesthetic” is a waste of money

I'm surprised I did as well as I did. As I get older I have more understanding of people and their stupid likes and dislikes. If you don't like someone or something boot it out of your life. Regardless of what others might say. 60% of idiots doesn't make them right.
