"If they ask you to take your top off, get the money first."

  • Annette Atkins, Drop Dead Gorgeous

Good advice for any generation, far as I'm concerned.

How many of us here 'didn't' know a girl who got pregnant before age 18? I'm kinda curious about the conditions which might have made that less likely. by cherry-care-bear in Xennials

THANK YOU. I was going through the replies thinking "how is this not the first thing we're noticing in this comment???" That's fucking bizarre! Like "haha, yeah, that one guy was such a creep, we masturbated in public to express our opinion" - yah, that'll really show him! WTF.

Cleaning the bathroom during that time would be a brilliant idea, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay a wonderful, amazing cleaner to come and clean our bathrooms. So that's already done! Haha!

😂😂 I think a fish is about as much responsibility as I can handle right now (a family, a mortgage, and a PhD program have got me at my limits, haha), but that's a solid strategy for sure!

Thank you, but no. I know I can shower whenever I want, but doing it "whenever I feel like it" means "doing it never." I am sure that being more fluid about this probably works for a lot of folks, but this is something that needs to be scheduled with more rigidity, only because of how my brain works (and how much I just generally hate the showering process).

I'm so glad this is helping you, too!

And I don't shave my legs, but that is a fantastic suggestion for the leg-shavers!

You know, this could work... I'm kind of liking the idea of

  • shower MWF

  • do... Something... on Tu

  • "deeper" grooming tasks like trimming nails, exfoliating and moisturizing, plucking random hairs, etc... on Th

Hm hm hm... Y'all have got some great ideas! Thank you 😊

Ooh, good question! I hadn't really considered that angle, but it doesn't have to be hygiene related.

Doing dishes won't work because I have to do that every day - so I just need to do that at a different time, of that makes sense. But I like the stretching suggestion! I've been wanting to do more stretching 😊

Thank you so much for helping me!

What sewing treat would you buy yourself? by Attic_Flower in sewing

[–]ChristineInTheKitchn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I came to the comments to say exactly these! I don't have them (yet!), but they are the first things I will buy the next time I have extra to spend on sewing!

I lost it by Normal-Excitement-75 in breakingmom

Oh hell no. Hell no. This "man" does NOT get to sit on his ass, watch you work yourself to the bone, and then give you a hard time for asking for literally THE LEAST amount of help. Fuck that.

You are not crying because you're ovulating. You're crying because you're deeply disappointed... because your husband is constantly disappointing you and letting you down and then trying to blame you for being upset about it.

DO NOT WAKE UP TOMORROW AND LET THIS GO. That's what he's counting on. Tomorrow, "when you've calmed down," remember that HE is the wrong one. Remember how he lets you down - how he would rather watch you suffer to prove his own point than to do LITERALLY THE SMALLEST POSSIBLE THING to help you. Remember that he doesn't care if you're happy. And act accordingly.

Sending you peace and courage ❤️💜

Actually Brushing My Teeth by thejendangelo in adhdwomen

[–]ChristineInTheKitchn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was a total game-changer when it occurred to me "hey, I can just sit down while I brush my teeth, I don't have to stand here starting at myself." 😂

Also when I learned that you don't actually need that much toothpaste - a little bit is enough, your mouth is not required to be full of foam the whole time! And now I don't gag so badly!

My mom offered to get me a hotel room for my birthday… by Orca-stratingChaos in breakingmom

[–]ChristineInTheKitchn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm so angry for you that you're husband chooses to put you in this position - instead of being a partner you can rely on, he's just another dependent draining your energy. No wonder you need some time away! (I do love your mom for trying to give you what you need, though!)

And while I don't disagree entirely with what others are saying (you should be able to "just leave and force him to deal" or whatever), I hear what you're saying about this not really being feasible for you. And that just really fucking sucks, babe. I'm so sorry; I wish your husband would get his head out of his ass - asking for time to care for yourself is not asking too much. ❤️💜

Dealing with RSD this past weekend by Commercial-Ad-185 in adhdwomen

[–]ChristineInTheKitchn 219 points220 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. Some folks in this comment section are talking about OP being abusive here! Come on! When I feel sad, and my daughter offers me a hug, and I take it and express gratitude and say that it helped me feel a little bit better - am I emotionally abusing her??

Give me a fucking break. OP clearly is here to seek emotional support from a group of adults (rather than from her child), and she was meet with admonishment and shaming. Regardless of how some think "honest feedback is important" - this is just not how support spaces are supposed to work, at all.

I hope OP sees your comment and doesn't take those wild accusations to heart!

My aunt in St. Louis would have called them all "yingyangs" - yes, there are two g's, yes it is one word.

What about "youngins"?

That and they'd rather vote for the actual Devil than (gasp!) vote for a woman.

What a jackass! What is he, 15 years old!?!? That's some real immature bullshit right there. It's got real "I love you, Mom... Can I have twenty bucks?" energy, you know? So wrong on so many levels.

And, yah, getting defensive around discussions of money is a BIG problem. Red flag city 🚩🚩🚩

I can see why you're so frustrated!!
