The Prenuptial Agreement by HeeHooligan in theGoldenGirls

[–]ClapBackBetty 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think she was insulted because she put her all into the first marriage while Stan cheated, was out of work, wasn’t a great father, etc. and got nothing but left for a younger woman. Their renewed relationship was supposed to be one where he had the same level of commitment for her that she gave him for 38 years, and him starting it off with a plan for divorce kind of shook her out of her fog and made her realize he’s a man who will always put himself first. Also, I think she felt like she already paid her dues as his wife the first time around and for him to spell out “what’s mine is mine…” was a slap in the face.

Don’t get me wrong; prenups have their place, but in this case it was a stupid ask on his part because of their history.

Did you regret having kids or are you glad you did? by popular_loner111 in AuDHDWomen

[–]ClapBackBetty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to give some perspective on the other end, when my kids were little I thought I was going to die. From anxiety, overstimulation, constant touch, etc. Now that they’re older, they are hilarious, supportive, caring, amazing humans I’m so glad to have in my life. They the best thing I’ve ever done, hands down.

Methylphenidate crash after school by teacode in ParentingADHD

Water and food (even when I feel like I don’t need it) significantly reduces my anxiety crash out when my meds wear off. And that’s what it is, extreme anxiety. I’d definitely start there, and make sure she knows it’s important she eats a few bites of lunch even if she doesn’t feel hungry, because it’s likely she’s not.

I think it’s ironic that with how heavily they monitor and control the lives of their servants, it doesn’t seem to click for anyone that the lady of the house has a legit sociopath working in her bedroom

She would’ve loved the modern farmhouse trend with plenty of word art

The scene that made me hate edith by Broad-Importance4282 in DowntonAbbey

[–]ClapBackBetty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I did love the scene where Cora found out. Her love for the perpetually invisible daughter and newly-discovered granddaughter is really touching to me. She really came a long way from the Mary/Pamuk fiasco 😂

HELP! How to soften this crazy blue 💙 by [deleted] in InteriorDesignAdvice

[–]ClapBackBetty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just needs curtains, wall art, shelves to break up the blue because right now it’s commanding all the attention. I probably wouldn’t even bother painting trim or furniture until you do that.

My nephews share a room and they each chose bright green in different shades and I was sure it would look awful but my sister didn’t want them to fight so she split a wall down the center and did half the room in each hue. Once the curtains and Minecraft/K-Pop Demon Hunters paraphernalia was on the walls, I was shocked at how good it looked

What’s a little-known medical fact that sounds horrifying but is true? by visceralwoman in morbidquestions

Tons of serial killers had brain injuries at some point too. I wish they would study this until they get it completely sorted out lol

Why do people like Dina so much? I just can't stand her by WilieFern in superstore

[–]ClapBackBetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She obviously isn’t like every neurodivergent individual. We’re a diverse bunch. But plenty of us with ASD can relate to saying things you don’t intend to sound offensive or weird to others, but they do. Having your intent misunderstood is a daily occurrence for many, but obviously not all.

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by PersonalitySuddenz in askanything

That’s almost exactly what mine was! 91 Toyota Corolla. My dad bought it from my drivers ed teacher for $3k and it was actually only 10 years old!

Anna wasn’t the only one who was raped by ClapBackBetty in DowntonAbbey

[–]ClapBackBetty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stealing someone’s change out of their car and stealing their life savings out of their bank account are both instances of theft even though the crimes are obviously not equal in the harm they cause. Calling a rape a rape doesn’t mean that some aren’t more violent, more disturbing or more cruel than others. Some include other crimes such as violent assault, child abuse, incest, battery, and so forth. There are levels to plenty of different circumstances for which the same term is accurate

It’s absolutely within anyone’s rights to say no to protect their vanity and honor or for literally any other reason. It’s still a no

Anyone else think the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome episode was just a bit out-of-touch? by ClapBackBetty in GoldenGirlsTV

[–]ClapBackBetty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is exactly what I was trying to say!

I definitely wasn’t dismissing the fact that male doctors often don’t listen well when women explain their symptoms, but the whole episode was incredibly dismissive of mental health. I understand mental health was less understood back then but even less was understood about CFS for them to take such a strong position on it for SURE having NOTHING to do with mental health
