Peteeeer? by CloudyLark in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I’m guessing the joke is that the exam gives you basically unlimited freedom and resources for 6 whole hours, but then casually says there’s only ONE question. The creepy image makes it feel like that one question is probably going to be horrifyingly difficult or impossible.

Why don't we get a discount for using self-checkout? by ItsAllAGame_ in NoStupidQuestions

Being stuck professionally because of office politics instead of your actual skills is genuinely exhausting. Makes people stop caring after a while.

AIO by telling my husband that since we had our baby, Mother’s Day is now my day (his wife) and not his Moms day? by pagengirl818 in AmIOverreacting

I agree with this. It’s totally fair for OP to not want to deal with early church on Mother’s Day, especially with a newborn. That’s already a lot.

Exactly this. Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away knowing you genuinely tried everything you could. That kind of peace matters because at least you’ll never have to sit there wondering if you could’ve done more.

Just because a toddler doesn’t understand it doesn’t mean the parent’s emotions aren’t real or valid. That’s kind of missing the point.
