They have! It's not a romantic partner but they have someone like this, as a roommate. All kinds of relationships matter. Your parents, your one night stands, your bus driver, your roommate are all relationships. And it's great to have caring people in all of those slots.
Load More Replies...I had a moment like this tonight with one of my best friends. It's an extraordinary feeling to be loved so unconditionally.
Make everyone sing all of the time! Even if it’s just a few lyrics. I can start a whole chorus at work by singing a few lines and whistling lol Everybody Rock your body Touching me, touching you Sweet Caroline Bum bum bum Another one bites the dust I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the HEAT with somebody
My husband doesn't like it when i sing. He looks at me like I have two heads. I'm not a great singer, but i am a musician, so i'm not too awfully bad.
I love to sing even tho I know I'm awful lo,l my husband wants to be deaf 😂
Load More Replies...I'm a single dad with 4 teenagers 3 years apart total. Music in any fashion shows soul. As long as we have music, we have soul. When it's quiet here, we talk. We go through hell together, but the sound of music always helps us all.
And for four months, did anyone ask if there was a reason they were unhappy?
Yes! I carry all my weight like an old white dude (in my gut, lol) and it makes me have an odd body shape. I always look for reviews from people close to my height/weight and go from there!
Load More Replies...Bonus points if there's a picture so I can see how it hugs my (same) body size.
YES- I try to pick the person closest to my body type. Except I probably have the wrong self-image.
Load More Replies...I like when you get "The model is 5'6", normally wears a UK12 and is wearing a Medium" and I think this should be standard for online and catalogue clothing retailers. Especially the ones you later realise are actually Chinese, and it would have said "The model is 5'1", usually wears a UK6/XXS, and is wearing size Large."
Truth! "I bought the large, but it was too big.". Why? What size do you normally wear? What happened?
As a petite woman with an athletic build this is so appreciated. Finding a pairs of jeans or trousers that fit can be a nightmare.
Being short (4’9) sometimes I don’t want to shop in the girl’s aisle anymore 🥺
Leg, arm and back length are all so useful. I've got long limbs & get cold easily, and manufacturers don't support this well. Occasional long leg options? Gee thanks. What about thermal underwear that reaches my ankles and wrists, or pyjamas trousers I don't have to lengthen with a chunk from my husband's old ones? Tall sisters, time to rise up in too-short arms!
There's a line I love, that everyone overlooks: "And she gave some to her husband who was with her." Dude was right there lol nodding along like "yeah, snake, sounds good, man."
Actually, according to the Torah, Eve disbelieved Adam and ate the apple because he told her that God said if she even touched the tree, she would surely die. When she saw Satan in the tree, touching it, she disbelieved Adam. So it'd been taught that yeah, it kinda was Adam's fault.
"Apple" once had a far more general sense. Hence pineapples, "earth apples" (potatoes!), mayapples, etc. Not enough so that you would expect the word used here to be translated as "apple," but there was an irresistitable play on words in Latin, where "malice" (hatred) sounded just like "malus" (apple), and both words would be known to any Englishman who was educated enough to be literate.
Load More Replies...Eve was made from his rib, so she was just an extension of him. Good 'ol fashioned biblical misogyny written by men.
Actually is all Adam's fault. Eve wasn't the first woman, she replaced Lilith who refused to submit to Adam because they were equal, created equally. Then Adam went whining to God and Lilith was vanished and replaced by Eve who didn't had a problem being submissive to Adam. I'm pretty sure that part was added afterwards to validate men's superiority the same way the Catholic Church made Mary Magdalene a prostitute to take away her importance in the history of Christianity.
Load More Replies...Sounds like it could be possible. There must be more investigating, first.
Bored Panda reached out to Sally Heart, a dating coach based in Canada. With her knowledge and experience, Sally kindly shared valuable insights on how to cultivate self-confidence and empower women in various aspects of life, including dating and relationships. Scroll down to read the whole interview!
That is true. I cant stop mentioning the 'past' because that behavior is continuing in the present. And if I don't keep bringing it up, it will end up becoming the future. (see what I did there?)
This feels so toxic and immature, just break up instead of trying to train your partner. They're not going to change and now you're obsessed and annoying. Let it go or move on.
Fully agree, "You must accept me for who I am, but I'll spend the next 20 years constantly badgering you to become the person I want you to be. "
Load More Replies...It's not a sincere apology if it doesn't result in changed behaviour. (Exception: bumping into a stranger. I'm not going to hold a grudge over their apparent insincere - since I can't prove changed behaviour - apology for stepping on my foot when I'm never going to see them again and it was clearly an accident)
It's called "pattern of behavior". (Looking at my hubby... who looks right back... fiiiine, but the point stands...)
YES!!! AlSO (kinda off topic) WHY DOES EVERY BRAND HAVE TO HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE MEASUREMENTS?? CAN WE JUST HAVE UNIVERSAL MEASUREMENTS SO I DON'T HAVE TO TRY ON EVERY PAIR??
Some brands don't even have the same size within their models. Had two pairs of jeans, same model, same size, different colour. One fit, one didn't.. Aaaaaaahhhhh
Load More Replies...IT’S SO ANNOYING. Like, why is a size 2 too small in one store, but I’m in children’s sizes in another? AND WHY DO STORES ASSUME WE ALL HAVE LONG LEGS?
Where are these stores that assume we ALL have long legs? I am yet to find one.
Load More Replies...they really are. that's why i've started wearing men's clothing
honestly I'm so close to doing that. With the jeans that I have that already fit me, I've started sewing bigger pockets into them because I'm so tired of my hands not fitting into them. Now on the ones I've done they're big enough to fit my hands and my phone in one pocket. A huge relief
Load More Replies...Having lived with a woman I can confirm. On the news there were comments about people ordering too much clothes online and sending them back : we had a good laugh abou that.
My male boss was amazed that women don't get measured when shopping for clothes and that we just get to guess
I can't say that I've bought female clothes but even male clothes suck when it comes to sizing. I have three t-shirts that are the same brand, same style one is a small, one is a medium and one is a large. All of them fit me the same. I feel like it's a side effect of so many clothing companies getting stuff made in China or Bangladesh and basically not giving a damn about quality control.
Load More Replies...seriously! If the fabric is see through why can companies just add another layer of white or that color or something? I don't want to have to find another white shirt that fits underneath it
Load More Replies...I ordered my uniform pants from the company website (paid for by company), two different types of pants, but I ordered both in the same size. Yet one pair is so baggy that I cannot actually wear them. What the hell?! Same size, same website, specifically chosen work pants by the company yet the two VERY SIMILAR looking pants couldn't have been more different! Clothing sizes for women are garbage. My female coworkers all had the same problem. Funny how not a single male complained.....
Buy men's pants. The sizing (mostly) consistent, They are usually better constructed and thicker aka warmer fabric, you get pockets and if need be, it's super easy to take in the waist band.
Yeah still trying to get the hubby to build me a mug shelf like this, but no luck. This is why we don't settle for waiting for men to do things for us ladies!
Yes, as educated, strong and independent as we are, we build our own walls, right? Or fix someone else to do it for us :)
Load More Replies...There had to be something more than the mug that was upsetting him right? I'm making up my own narrative for why dad hated mugs so much. In my version his dislike of coffee mugs makes sense, but he was raised that men can only be happy or angry so he thinks it's weak to explain himself
My guess is those mugs were everywhere and because Dad couldn't build her a shelf daughter sees him as a loser.
Load More Replies...As a Californian I get extreme anxiety looking at that photo, haha!
Load More Replies...dunno if I understand that completely because my cats haven't ever knocked mugs over but yes. My cats like to knock small things off of the table. Like a piece of paper, or a pipe cleaner that we were using, but they like to play with them.
Load More Replies...My hubby built me a glass cabinet for my plate collection, I have been collecting Mugs and Cups for a short time, I wonder if I should tell him.
My husband doesn't have a crafty bone in his body...he laid to have my custom shelves built and installed 😍
Posts in this article cover a diverse range of topics, but we were particularly intrigued by Sally’s perspectives on how women navigate the world of dating. Therefore, we asked her about how important self-love and confidence are for women when it comes to relationships. According to Sally Heart, it's everything. “You will only ever get what you settle for in love and life. One man may decide you are the one to marry. But that same man, if you reacted differently to him, may decide that you’re just someone that is ok to pass the time with for now. The man didn’t change. Your behavior did! How you feel about yourself has a direct impact on the quality of relationships you call into your life.
You also can't expect something from others that you are unwilling or unable to provide for yourself, which means you cannot call a high-value man into your life if you yourself are not high-value. You cannot expect a confident man who respects and loves himself if you do not love and respect yourself.”
and is really inconvenient and annoying for everyone else on the road. Don't be selfish. If you are angry, talk about it. don't put yourself and/or anyone else at risk.
But don't talk about it while driving. They deserve your full attention, and so does driving.
Load More Replies...Yes, been there done that. We're divorced now.
Load More Replies...My ex husband used to do this to purposely scare me, I'm terrified of being in a fast car now.
Same! Like a sorta PTSD. Glad he is your ex. I'm been free of mine for 5 amazing years xo
Load More Replies...This!!! ANY person who drives recklessly with me in the car has lost a lot of my respect, at least.
This!!! My X-Husband!! He thought he was so superior to all other drivers, an absolute narcissist about it, that he would put the children and myself in harm's way just to teach the other driver a lesson. There was one particular crash where I ended up with a broken ankle, my son a concussion and a broken arm, and my daughter internal bleeding from a lacerated liver. The X said it was worth it!! "He won't cut me off again!". X had plenty of time to stop, but he sped up. He mumbled something about disrespect, but I didn't hear the whole thing. After speaking to the ER doctor privately, we formed a plan with a nurse. Doctor told X he was keeping us overnight for observation. After he left, the nurse took as to a safe house over 200 miles away. I just want to say if you are in this situation, get out!! GET OUT NOW!! Your life means nothing to him. Please get out while you and/or your children still have your life.
Can confirm; I've transcribed police interviews and I've heard a number of instances of this in abusive relationships. Often the abuser will use the fact that the woman wants out of the car as proof that she's mentally unstable and that he is obligated to restrain her and keep her in the vehicle for her own safety.
I’m finally getting back to the best work schedule for me - 2-11 pm, Tuesday through Saturday
Load More Replies...I'm running out of PTO at work trying to stay a live so I can make it to work.
Had a dentist who would work Saturdays. You could never get an appointment on that day cause that was the day that filled up the quickest. I see all sorts of thirsty dental adds. You want clients? Work off hours.
I agree, though admit that all of the organisations I worked for I was allowed time off to go to the dentist or for medical appointments etc - no need to use annual leave. Was just something you told your boss and they accepted it. Though you would be expected to be considerate as to when you booked it eg not at the same time as a monthly meeting.
Load More Replies...Lots of these posts aren’t strictly about women. Except the clothing sizes. That’s all ours. 👖
Load More Replies...Omg yes... This!! It's so damn frustrating .. and then I end up filling a day of the week I may finally have off with appointments from morning til evening and it's exhausting.
Yesss. You're day off is spend running around all day, Oh look it's time to go to bed so I can be up early for work...
Load More Replies...This lady has been trying to get ahold of me from school and we work the same hours and I cannot use my phone at work so I leave it at home ugh!
I would get pissed off when the bank was closed before I got off work. That's one important place a job won't approve of you taking time off for. At least the CIBC where I live is now open later and on Saturdays. But good luck going to a walk in clinic, calling the Canada Revenue Agency because of the long holds and trying to deal with anything. Pretty much everywhere downtown is closed by 6pm, too, including public washrooms.
Yeah, and when you think of it. The employees at the bank, dentists, doctors, washrooms etc, etc, have the same problem. They want to go home too at 18.00, like the rest of us and there: everything is closed where they want to go to. The audacity, how dare people want to go home at six....
Load More Replies...Same - or arrive a bit late (even popping out during the day). Taking time off for medical appointments without using annual leave is acceptable.
Load More Replies...Same. I was always made to feel that any need or wish that I expressed was a major inconvenience and I should be happy with whatever my parents chose to give me. Which was a LOT less than they gave my brothers.
Load More Replies...My aunt has a sign that reads "You will be too much for some people, Those aren't your people" and I absolutely love it. I like yours too - from a girl who's often referred to as "too much"
Load More Replies...I'm working on this with my therapist. How do other people just...exist?
amazing question that I don't have the answer to
Load More Replies...I really don't need much, practically nothing, and YET men will consistently not show up. So there's also that.
Let the guy do some effort for you : you're worth it. Plus : people don't respect things they get too easily.
I've learnt that the hard way. And it's a mainly male trait. But then they complain when they can't get someone easily. Make that make sense, lol.
Load More Replies...This is me. I've always found women intimidating, even now after 25yrs of marriage.
I think my boyfriend is like this and it's very frustrating because I know he needs things he just won't tell me
My last boyfriend of 11 years would simultaneously treat me like I was a burden and not good enough. I was both too much and not enough.
Navigating the dating world can be a complex experience. Here, self-confidence plays a crucial role. Many women grapple with various issues that impact their self-assurance in dating, and understanding these challenges is important in addressing them. Sally Heart shared that some of those challenges include not putting up boundaries early on in relationships, “for fear that they'll offend or come off as difficult or high-maintenance. For others it can be not believing they deserve much, so putting up with less than their own standards for love. Sometimes women will settle for men who show interest in them and like them instead of actively approaching or creating opportunities with the men they truly admire or desire.”
My husband of 22 years (& together 29) has bought me flowers twice - first time I asked who she was! Second time was when my grandad died. His romance is picking me up a treat he sees when out shopping, cleaning my muddy trail shoes for me, bringing me a sandwich at lunchtime if a meeting is running late. Basically being incredibly thoughtful and surprising me in lovely ways. I sometimes feel I don’t deserve him. Cleaning my manky trainers wins over buying me flowers every time!
Fun fact, flowers are already dying when you give them. It's why I don't want them except in my garden. Don't give me something beautiful that's dying because you bought them.
Yes!K. Please teach us ways to freak out or partners!!
Load More Replies...So you lied... to your husband... who you swore to love and honor your entire life... for no reason. And you think it's funny. I hope your divorce lawyer got his degree from a matchbook.
THIS IS TOO TRUE!!! My floor (and counter) always look like I sprayed a hose all over my bathroom T^T
Yes! And my shirt is always soaking wet as well! XD
Load More Replies...Yes it all makes sense now...leaky pipe? leak in the ceiling?? nope it's neutrogena wife
Load More Replies...OH MY GOD. Scrunchies on the wrist. The end to water running down my arms and getting into my sleeves. THANK YOU. This is the Way.
Load More Replies...Have you considered installing a bidet and just sticking your face in it?
I will confess that I just stick my face directly under the tap! Not all taps allow for that I do appreciate.
Load More Replies...No kidding: my little sister didn't learn to wash her hair properly because of ads until she was like 18. I used to get told off for being mean when I tried to explain this to my parents as a kid. They finally worked it out when they took her to the doctor and the dr asked her to demonstrate how she washed her hair... i f***ing told them for years!
Building self-love and confidence is essential for women to navigate the complexities of life with resilience and strength. If you're looking to cultivate a healthy sense of self-worth, you're in the right place, because Sally has some tips to share:
1. “Start to give zero effs what anyone thinks of you. What other people think about you is none of your business. As Dita Von Teese said, 'You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.' If someone doesn’t like you, it’s really their problem, not yours. Your job is to find your people by being yourself and calling them into your life through authenticity; the rest can just bugger off.
2. Control the inner dialogue (become self-compassionate). Everyone has that little Negative Nelly voice inside their head that’s a real jerk. Name her, and tell her to shut up. It also works beautifully to disassociate yourself from that voice. It can look like this:
- Negative thought: ‘Sally, you’re so stupid, nobody wants you…”
- You immediately think: Shut up Karen, I’m the bomb, sexy and amazing, and men find me irresistible!
3. Move your body. As Elle Woods says, ‘Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands.’ (Maybe ignore that last part). But happy people DO feel better about themselves, though, and that’s the point. Working out and moving your body just makes you feel sexy and empowered. Don't we all feel great after a workout!?
And here are some other self-explanatory ways to increase your self-esteem:
- - Stop comparing yourself to others
- - Know that just by being born, you are worthy of love and joy
- - Do more of what you’re good at (increase your confidence through your natural talents)
- - Help others (you start to focus more on how you can be of service, and how wonderful you are!)”
I found my boyfriend, who was staying with me while he found a new place, on a dating site newly listed. I packed his stuff and gave it to him at the door when he got back. Done and dusted.
Can confirm, have done this. And often the person regrets it later and wants to come back. No way, unappreciative motherscratcher.
my ex tried to do this to me as we were breaking up. Showed me pictures of us, he said "these were good times weren't they??!" and I just said yes but I'm still breaking with you. He was confused to why I was so firm in the decision of breaking up with him after I had explained my reasons a few times.
Load More Replies...I had a sneaking suspicion that my ex was cheating & had taken her to a sold out baseball game in our city. So I packed up 3 Hefty bags full of his c**p he kept at my house & headed to the ballpark. Found his truck right where he always parked it, but just needed to see for myself the lying SOB. I talked my way in to the game even though I didn't have a ticket. Once I saw them together, I politely thanked the security guards for helping me. Then I went back to his vehicle, unlocked it with my key, & proceeded to dump & scatter the 3 hefty bags of his c**p in the driver's & passenger's seats. Left the key on the dash & drove home. They couldn't open either door without all that stuff falling out. It took him 5 days to work up the courage to call me. He cried & begged for me to give him another chance, but I was DONE!
interesting, but some people don't deserve that waste of time and energy.
In portuguese the color red is called "vermelho", so for me vermillion is red. Green in portuguese is Verde.
Do all colors in Portuguese begin with "ver"? Asking for a friend 😉
Load More Replies...Quick note: Latin "vermis"/"verm" (worm) is the root for vermilion. Not the root for green. It referred to the snail (ew) from which red dye was extracted. Thanks, Mom, for the Latin lessons when I was a kid. VERM/worm. VERD/green. VER: true/truth (e.g., in vino veritas).
In portuguese, that is my first language and is a latin language too, green is VERDe and red is VERMelho. And for the "VER" being "true/truth" is also correct, "True" is "VERdadeiro". So u are correct. (Sorry for my bad English :))
Load More Replies...chartreuse and vermillion have switched colors and nobody can convince me otherwise. chartreuse= velvety magenta vermillion= yellowish green
glad to see im not the only one struggling with that word
Load More Replies...Morticia: I am a strong, intelligent, and educated woman. Also Morticia naming her child: Wed-nes-day
I say "nec(k)-essary" when spelling it
Load More Replies...To-get-her that's how my mum taught me to spell together still say it
The societal norms and expectations around gender roles have a profound impact on women's self-confidence and empowerment in the dating realm (among other spheres). These norms often dictate societal standards, perpetuating stereotypes and limiting women's potential. According to Sally, “women have traditionally been told to take a backseat when it comes to dating, which can feel like they should just accept what's given to them. However, I encourage my clients to fully understand what they want and more importantly need in a partner, and only accept those that are willing to meet those needs. Everything else must go! It's about being able to let go of those that don't meet your standards as soon as you realize it, instead of holding on and hoping for the best or that they may someday live up to their 'potential'. You get to decide what you want in your life, so I also encourage my clients to be the approacher (not the pursuer) when it comes to finding men to date.”

90% sure it's the snacks. Probrably worth trying, just in case.
Load More Replies...My husband is one of those and it gives me even more anxiety. And also I'm jealous I wish I could live like that just once!
Having a partner or being a partner with mental health problems can be truly difficult. However, there are loving and kind people who should accept you for who you are. Like any relationship it will take lots of work, open communication and understanding.
My hubby doesn't understand my depression and anxiety at all. I often wonder whats its like living blissfully unawares
This also!! I have severe OCD which leads to anxiety and panic attacks.. and it's almost like nothing bothers him. He just says he doesn't show his stress to prevent me from going over the edge. I don't deserve him. Hes my rock for sure
I come from a family who obsesses about food and weight. They will comment on everyone's body and monitor every bit of food one puts in their mouth. It was startling when I met my in-laws and they just...ate dinner.
I sent this one to my now ex, who doesn't have anxiety, and he replied with "l am, in fact, having a snack" cracked me up. So true
Lol I sent this to my husband’s phone he’s soundly asleep right now without a care in the world.
Load More Replies...When I was really ill w depression and anxiety, I remember watching the tv and marvelling how people held jobs down! How they managed to leave the house, all business-ready and spend a day making decisions was absolutely beyond me. I know when it's time to take a little time out when I start to look at the tv people in wonder again!
my husband is one of them. i am full anxiety. after 14 years of marriage i am glad he lifts my anxiety and throws it away
If you think anything other than…’how much food can I afford?’….you’re doing ok.
Not a female-specific problem. We all look at our paychecks wondering why TF the government deserves any of our money.
I don't understand why a lot of these are on a, "female problems," list. o_O
Determine if I can live without heating since the gas bill is so bloody huge! At least summer is coming.
Same. I keep a spreadsheet of expenses I know are coming each month so I can figure out how much we actually get to keep. It's usually a lot less than the paycheck's full amount.
“Oh good, I can buy groceries without feeling anxious one day this week!”
I didn't do a chick shower because of Covid... but the little chicken has too many clothes anyway, and I hate parties
With 6 kids, I never had a baby shower, Each week, I would purchase something for the new baby and set it aside for whey they arrive. I never needed any extra's until they started growing.
Ok I need some answers. What in the world is a baby shower??? I never heard of this 😵💫
It's a party for a mum to be to celebrate the upcoming birth....usually full of *fun* games , sometime includes partners, sometimes just female friends/relatives. Gifts are given to mum to be, some will be for her, the rest for the baby when it arrives.
Load More Replies...Somewhat off topic, but I read about a woman who was having a difficult pregnancy, it was touch and go throughout. Her friends and family decided to postpone the shower until after she delivered. She said it was such a relief to enjoy the shower without being distracted with worries about her pregnancy.
Oh God the one two three days it takes to lay an egg... yeah, I'm really not myself. Evolution and nature take over and try forcing me to continue the line
LMAO! especially bc there is legitimately some evidence to support that women's sexual interest may peak around the time they ovulate. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/201503/how-the-menstrual-cycle-affects-womens-libido
More likely that how long it took to see the guy isn't worth her time.
Dude calls himself toxic king on twitter. What did he expect? That's prolly cuz they found out abt this. Lol
My wife knows that things are going to get romantic around the time ovulation hits me. Usually after the painful part, granted; PCOS sucks like that.
And the movie can't be too long and the chairs should be those comfy ones that recline...
Load More Replies...To be fair, didn’t hit this until about 40 but only because it took that long for kids to come…then 180. At 60 we need real incentive and nice weather.
Load More Replies...If 'down with anything' can be done while holding a glass of wine, I'm good to go. No wine, no go.
That is one cool parent. Either that or this is their last kid and they aren't cool at all, just wholly burnt out.
Exactly. Best way to make them leave you alone without saying "Get your sticky snotty child hands away from my precious milkshake >:( ." (Also fun fact, this didn't actually work on me when I was little because I loved spicy food lol)
Buy unsweetened dark cooking chocolate once, let them try it. "This is grown-ups chocolate, sweetie, you won't like it."
I take care of my special needs brother and I use "it's spicy" and "it's diet". Funny part is I give him diet stuff to reduce his sugar intake 😂 he just thinks the stuff called Zero is a cool Mortal Combat naming; he loves his Sub Zero stuff 😂
Fill the straw with hot sauce, let them have a taste, uninterrupted milkshakes for life!
I used to do this, except I wouldn't leave it wide open. I would close it, but not all the way. This way the driver doesn't know until they've already driven off. I was a pretty annoying child tbh.
I just get real quiet when i’m upset. it freaks people out more. Close the car door gently. Steps are silent. No words.
Yeah, me too. They start boiling inside when you just start staring emontionless into their eyes. But I just can't argue back
Load More Replies...Why get out? Just put the car in reverse, back up a tiny bit and then hit the brakes, and inertia will close the door for you. 🤷🏼♂️
Or you don't quite judge it right and it doesn't slam completely shut and you still have to get out and shut the door. Sometimes the quickest way is just doing it.
Load More Replies...Wouldnt bother to get out, just pull away a bit sharpish and it will slam on its own. Simples.
"Dear Universe; Technically, yes, I did wish to have a fun guy inside me from time to time, but this isn't funny"
Yes! Who decides the substitutions?? Once I ordered a bag of hazelnuts and got sent hazelnut chocolate spread. Where’s the logic in that?
This doesn't make me feel so bad about them trying to sub chocolate milk for white anymore.
As a teenager, we grow out of this phase. Don't worry. I remember between the ages of 8-13 I was always embarrassed about everything my parents did in front of my friends. Im so glad I'm not like that anymore :)
I’m a teenager who embarrasses my parents lol. Prime examples being the times I randomly go out in full cosplay like chainmail cape fake bow etc and the time I was at a climbing competition and someone gave me a raw potato and when I went up to get me award instead of holding the ribbon up for the picture I held up I potato and screamed “pooootaaatooooooooooo!!!!” Like a minion from despicable me.
Load More Replies...As quoted by my sons and grandsons and their friends its kewl I still play video games with them...im 53 lol I especially like laughing at the trolls on CoD teehee ^.^
Oh my goodness, just by the way you spelled "kewl", that takes me back XD I remember when that was the ONLY hip way to spell it when I was a kid (I'm 41.)
Load More Replies...I comfort other mothers of daughters by telling them the girls turn back into humans around 18-19. My boys were harder when little but waaaaayyyy easier as teenagers…
But on the upside, being uncooler on purpose to horrify my kids is one of my greatest joys. Perks of parenthood.
I was really lucky with my son, who I raised alone for the first 8 years of his life. At 14 and already almost 6 feet tall, I dropped him and a few friends off at the mall while I went shopping. We ended up running into each other away from our designated "meeting point". My son yelled "Mommy" and came running up to me, threw his arms around me and proceeded to kiss me all over my face. His friends started making fun of him (of course). Before I could say a word, he turned to these guys and asked, incredulously, "You don't love your Mother?" They were all SO embarrassed & I was SO proud. He's always been that way.
Once when my middle child was in his teens I went up to him and his friends and said something to the effect of ‘Hello young man, would you like to come home with me?’. His friends didn’t know what to think since they’d never seen me before. Fortunately middle child, now in his thirties, thought it was hilarious. He gets his sense of humour from me. 😀
To all parents: As a teen, I can inform you that we, as kids, think that parents are embarrassing us. I don't know if I'm just wiser for my age, or something, but when I tell my parents not to do something embarrassing, I always feel bad. So yes, some of us do feel bad, so please don't take what we say personally.
The kids | nanny? What the freak is wrong with you. You insane person. No wonder they blanked the name out. It's I not |.
I can’t vote up enough to take you out of negative but I feel your pain.

I'm not sure, but I read that as "the kids or nanny" about 5 times trying to make it make sense before I realized it's not a pipe operator it's an I
Load More Replies...Tbf, it's not the kids paying the nanny, it's the parents, and the nanny has voluntarily taken the job, thus enjoying being with the kids. So there's that.
On a plane with kid I was nannying who was throwing a tantrum. Kid: "you don't care about me! You're only here because my parents pay you!" Me: "you know that's not true. You know how you behave, and that NO AMOUNT OF MONEY would be enough to put up with it. I'm still here because I love you. Now do as you're told." Stranger in next seat: [struggles to not burst out laughing].
At that point, I would feel too bad taking the money! That's really wholesome <3

There are several perfectly safe ways to cook chicken from frozen: baked, Instant pot, even microwaved (though it is pretty rubbery but decent for chicken salad). Best way is air fryer. Right out the freezer, spray with oil, toss on some herbs and spices, air fry 10 minutes, turn and 5-10 more. Easy peasy.
i know it's not really the point, but if you ever need to defrost something quickly, put it in a ziploc bag and submerge it in warm water for a bit! tried this with frozen fish last night and it worked really well
Take out something humongous from the freezer and get three days of not cooking. Except nuking a sausage roll or boiling an egg.

He does it so the paparazzi douche nozzles leave him alone. No way to date a pic if it's the same outfit. Believe other celebs do the same.
You know, I can't blame him. If the same shirt fits and still looks pretty good, why not keep wearing it?

Men usually freeze a specific moment in their life when they felt the most comfortable. Whatever style of clothes he is wearing at that time, he takes it and rides it out till the end.

Load More Replies...Mid-covid horrendousness I had finished a double shift and told "go home see you in a few hours": so heading home exhausted and dehydrated from 16hrs in full PPE. I had forgotten to fill my car water bottle so pulled into a servo to get something to drink. I asked for a bottle of water and the lady started crying. I thought I had said something bad with my tired brain and started to apologise and she was like "no no no you are the first person today that said hi how are you may I please have when asking for something". o.O so I stayed to chat for a bit with her to let her vent as she said she had been there since early hours of the day as people had called out sick and her boss kept texting "stay there till someone comes". Essential workers were not just in hospitals then

NO - you will come to regret every one of those choices if made under those conditions. Do NOTHING to your hair, do NOT get pierced or tattooed! Eat & drink copious amounts of chocolate & wine (red goes best with chocolate) and wait until the crisis is over. THEN - choose the hair, piercing, tattoo experience you actually WANT with a clear head. (Also, wait for the wine hangover to go away).

Yeah but babies are growing at a rapid rate and they feed on easily digestible liquid food, given how hangry and volatile i get on an empty stomach, i’d beat a baby at crying if it meant a meal ticket

That second picture looks nothing like the nails in the first pic. Weird.
Actually, if you look at the pinkie in the first photo, it’s blue-ish, and the ring finger following it is pinkish, continuing the pattern. The lighting just makes it bleached
Load More Replies...What happened to the days of a woman choosing her own ring and getting the right size?
Don't you worry. That ring will be fitting perfectly before the weekend's over.
Most store sizes are a 6. If you don't know your girl's ring size, you still buy the ring and pay for resizing.
Here we have a bride-to-be who doesn't throw a hissy fit even tough the ring is too small. Commendable. It's a passable joke, but she doesn't deserve the ridicule.
When did people start holding up their ringed fingers into the camera as if it were the Nobel Prize or sth like that? I'll never understand.
Too cute! Look at the little cat! :D Definitely the best way to handle stress!
My pet’s usually the one getting me into bed at a decent hour! If I don’t take her outside and then go to bed at 11 o’clock pronto, she will standby the door leading to the backyard and bark at me until I do! Animals tend to be far better attuned to natural rhythms and such than we are nowadays, in my view.
Not to brag but, my grumpy old man dog who never wants to sleep with anyone because he needs his space and no movement has spent the last two nights in my bed 😊
But if you choose to breastfeed it'll take another year or more (I know depending on how long you can take it, if you pump after drinking etc ). It's been 9 + 21 months and still going 😅
My first brother didn't stop breastfeeding until he was like 4, but my other one stopped when he was 1, I was *forced* to stop when I was 2 due to my mom being pregnant again. So there is definitely a range of ages

After my kids moved out, I had a spotless house. I still miss the noise and the mess and they’re in their 30s and 40s.

Yes! It's cold and far too shiny - a whole room in that will look very cold. Other advantage to a matte finish as well is that it shows up the imperfections on a wall less (bumps etc). Definitely better for any textured finish like anaglypta or that vile woodchip wallpaper.

Honestly. If my sis never knew I made her breakfast, she won't know that I also got hungry and ate it ;)
Honestly, the thought of eating breakfast in bed has no appeal for me whatsoever. There's no way to sit up comfortably in bed in order to eat, you have to be very careful about how you move so as not to knock over anything, and the food will be cold by the time you're ready to eat it. I just want to get up, pee, and go about my day!

19 must be the magic year for choosing toxic guys. My most toxic relationship started at 19, went on until I was almost 23…. Then he started all over again with a new 19 year old. I wish I’d had the sense the warn her….
19 to 22 for me, but he kept reappearing for several years afterwards, trying to derail me soon as I felt on top of things again....finally met my wonderful husband at age 24, ex was never able to upset me again after that! Been together nearly 23 years now, and it's like the life I had before him is just a distant recollection of snapshot memories.

Load More Replies...See, I had a pretty wild "childhood" and the fella I met when I was 18 (and had my son with 5 years later) saved me from all that, in a way. We parted company a couple of years later, but are still friends more than 30 years later. He was always a good man, just took a long time to grow up. The worst person I ever met came along about 4 years ago. Got rid of him 3 years ago after an awful episode with my now adult autistic son. So, trust me, there's no age limit. With age does not always come wisdom, lol.
Can confirm (even though that rat b*stard of a gyn told me all I'd feel was a pinch and all but refused to take it out 6 weeks later, telling me it couldn't be the source of the pain.) Magically the pain was removed with the device!
Load More Replies...I know what it is, but my tired brain imagined it as a pogo stick for a baby frog.
Do the research and be sure you want an IUD before getting one. I had the mirena put in, and the low dose hormone (that my gyno said wouldn't be enough to affect anything but the reproductive system) triggered vestibular migraines that actually had me black out from dizziness a couple times before realizing that was the problem and having it removed. And now I get the fun prize of getting dizzy every time I have a period or a storm comes in. Also, having it put in (and some of the cramps after) hurt worse than the time I dislocated my kneecap. I know everyone's body is different, and some people never have issues. But that's how my experience went. I've heard the copper ones cause more painful cramps though.
I had my mirena removed smartish as well - they don't suit everyone (fortunately unconscious for insertion and removal due to needing other things done!).

The medical industry should start making stupidly shaped birth control for men that requires a doctor telling them it won't hurt as they jam a piece of metal to be lodged in their díck? Seriously!

Seriously…everyone should google the form of birth control that was a set of metal springs inserted in the tubes, with the result being that they were so irritating that scar tissue would grow over them and close the tubes. THIS. WAS. RECENT.
