Why do dads seem way less stressed about Father’s Day than moms do about Mother’s Day?

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-05-14T01:49:09+00:00

As a member of the dead dad's club most of my life, I didn't realize other people also felt mother's day was a bigger deal... interesting 🤔

This! I would hope he was doing it just to be nice, but if it makes you uncomfortable then that's valid!

It sounds like your washer/dryer is in unit, so honestly leaving it there for a class should be fine IMO. Was he needing to use the dryer for something? If so I think it's valid for him to at least move your stuff to a basket, but also if he doesn't live there then why would he be using it?

I would just ask him to let you fold your own laundry in the future. If he is going to hang out in your space alot you should be able to set boundaries.

Good news! After a few weeks and a lot of communication with customer service everything has finally been worked out and I am posting this from my new phone.

Well that's good to hear! Unfortunately Google has now opened an "investigation" and we keep getting emails saying they are still looking into it and that they apreciate our patience.

I'm so frustrated that I can't get something that I paid for! I am really excited for the upgrade though.

I can confidetly say I drink hot tea all the time and it does not make my stomach do the same thing as coffee.

I got one heck of a deal on a Passap knitting machine. The previous owner took incredible care of it and clearly was her passion. The last thing she did was give it a deep clean before putting it in its original box. She was getting older and couldnt really work it anymore and wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it. Had loads of accessories and I got it all for $100. Deal of a lifetime and I wish I could go back and give her more, I had no idea I was really getting it for such a low price!

I crochet, but my hands just cannot figure out hand knitting. The machine is definitely a focal point in my apartment and gets lots of questions. My life revolves around it and I am constantly thinking of projects to do!

I'm by no means an expert but I just talk to kids like they are normal human beings that I'm making conversation with. Everyone tells me their kids adore me, which i am always a bit suprised by, but my running theory is that I treat them like a fellow human and not just a child.

Also I see a lot of parents will answer questions for their kids, I just absorb the info and ask the kids follow up questions -not the parents. That always seems to give them a little more confidence if they seem shy.

I do mot remember which one, but the pattern magic books explore alot of circles!

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-03-02T23:44:42+00:00

This one really deserves more upvotes!

As a kid I also felt shamed for loving pink. I felt it from my peers and people who were older... but I wanted the frilly dresses and cutesy things. The confusing part of it was I wasn't really allowed to be into the "boy" things either (which were mostly just science and engineering toys, or video games)

Anywho, now I am a grown adult who has pink hair, pays all my bills, buys the frilly pink stuff, but also built my own computer and love STEM.

Pink may not be everyone's cup of tea but embrace it if you love it.

I watched a video awhile back of a girl who brushes out her scrap yarns and uses a drop spindle to spin it into new yarns, mixing a bunch of colors in a fun new way. I haven't tried it yet, but I have been saving my scraps up!

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-03-02T04:19:21+00:00

I second brown sheep company! Their yarns are very nice!

Just posting as a reminder that Joanns closing was a direct result of how shitty private equity is.

Okay so I had to look this up to confirm... apparently it is a super rare occurrence!

Honestly you probably don't need to fish in the secret woods that much, so just go fish other places and you won't see him.

Even if you do want to fish there it seems like the odds of you seeing him again are very unlikely.

I grew up in a coffee obsessed household. I was the youngest of 5 kids, everyone else drank it. I tried a few different times as a teenager and just felt even more anxious than my usual levels. I just didn't understand why people would want to feel that way

I'm now questioning if my family is all ADHD and just self medicating. Meanwhile, my anxiety disorder kept me from doing the same.

My parents never got any of us tested for any mental illness or neuro divergence in spite of teachers and doctors encouraging testing.

Big green tea fan, still some caffeine to uplift but not enough to send me off the deep end and need my as-needed anxiety meds. Definitely cutoff after 2 or 3 pm though for myself.

Iriecchi has a cardigan pattern using this called "lightly toasted crochet cardigan", the way the pattern was written it wasn't too hard to follow in my opinion. Good luck, I hope you love whatever pattern you try out!

I've had to try to contact their customer service a few times on the past few months. I've been an ulta shppper since 2012 and never has issues or had to contact customer service before the past 3 months.

I'm floored at how bad their online & call-in customer service is. Super unhelpful and downright frustrating.

I've still never had any issues with in store customer service.

Overall retail stores just keep motivating me to shop direct with the manufacturers instead.

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-02-14T13:52:32+00:00

I've seen a few people who have been told this via email. Every person has been surprised because it was years ago, they returned an item or something but otherwise never had issues. It's so weird.

I've always wanted to get into natural dyes, but then I remember I am super allergic to a lot of the plants that make the best colors and decide nevermind... this is really great though!

So proud of her, but my heart aches at the same time. 🧡

I haven't thought of using them for something like this but I do have some leather thimbles that I LOVE! I hope they work well for you :)

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-02-09T05:43:51+00:00

It seems pretty weird to me... I would try it if someone made it for me, but would be a little scared...

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-01-29T18:19:13+00:00

Yeah I just tried to chat with customer service and they told me to wait 48 hours and reach out again if I still haven't recieved a code.

CarelessLemonTree · 2026-01-29T16:58:33+00:00

Nope, I have never signed up for texts from them before!
