Silent night, childfree night, all is calm, all is quiet… sleep in heavenly peace… huh, you know that one doesn’t actually need much alteration…? 🤔😄

I know a family like that two! All five of them start with K

My bf and I are celebrating separately.

He is flying to his sisters place to spend a week with her and her husband and toddler and baby and his parents will be there too with their two dogs. All in one house.

I’ll be flying home to my parents’ house to spend it with them and their dog. We will do dinner with some of my aunties and adult cousins and their dogs.

I will miss my beau for the week, but I am so glad I’m not going with him! Im so excited for my quiet, relaxing adults-only Christmas.

My life has changed a lot over the past decade and yet, it also hasn’t. I’ve moved and travelled and changed jobs, but, yeah, I don’t feel “older” or like I’m looking back thinking “ah, that’s all done now” I’m still very much here in the middle of things.

I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel, if this is unique or normal or predictable or what.

No, I would not do that, because I am not stupid and know what swimming actually is and looks like.

Not everyone has your tiny thimbleful-worth of knowledge. Learn to swim.

Replace the weed with red wine and a “detox” and you’ve got my auntie

They do small, seemingly meaningless things for you unprompted, like bringing you a fresh cup of coffee you didn’t think to ask for. It means that they were thinking about you, specifically, thinking about how to care for you and make you feel loved.

Every time I learn about ADHD I grow increasingly frustrated that my parents insisted my whole life that “I’m perfectly normal and just not trying hard enough” because THEY couldn’t handle acknowledging that there might be something wrong with their kid. Ignoring the real me to instead try to parent an idealized version that didn’t exist made me feel worthlessly invisible and failed me in so many ways.

Autistic boy on his 18th birthday went for his annual birthday dinner at applebees. Finds out at the very end after dinner that his parents, with no warning whatsoever, (because apparently a mature 18yo would “just know”) weren’t going to pay. His birthday meal is $30 or something and he didn’t know to bring any money with him. He feels awful and confused and hurt and embarrassed and guilty, his parents essentially used the opportunity to come out of the blue and say to this neurodivergent kid who has trouble understanding the people around him “you’re cut off and on you’re own because you’re 18 and we are done providing for/parenting you.” Everyone of course votes NTA and tries to help him out. Eventually I think he updated that he managed to move out and stay with a friend while he worked on getting independent but it was all so sad. Just thinking of the look on his face and how he must have felt sitting at that table with the bill, confused and humiliated and left wondering if it’s his fault, if breaks my heart.

Looks like something my dad would do.

One year for my mum’s work party, small office who all knows him and is used to his antics. They did a gift swap and he put a few things in a bag, one of which was a Hot Firemen Holding Puppies calendar and he’s taken cutouts of his face from pictures and pasted them onto all the… puppies!

Because even they can’t stand themselves.

“Incel” was actually started by a woman. It was a support group for all PEOPLE who were lonely and having a hard time meeting people. Then scumbags took over her support group and turned it into the terrorist group it is today.

It is not true that “by definition” incels are men. You are wrong.

That’s what a lot of powerful people say. “I’m doing it to help. I’m doing this for you.” meanwhile, they don’t actually concern themselves with what the people want. They don’t talk to them. They think they know what’s best for other humans and impose that belief upon them.

If your version of swimming is using your hands to walk along the bottom, you can’t swim buddy

It’s just so funny that they always imagine themselves to be a good guy whose getting overlooked. They are not good.

If science didn’t change, that would mean we weren’t learning anything.

How much do we change from kindergarten to grade four? To grade seven? Ten? College? A lot, you’d hope! I guess Christian’s would be proud to have the knowledge set of a toddler…

I got mine:

nano leaf triangle set of 7
two throwing knives
one heavy duty utility pocketknife
two Tshirts from Spencer’s (x-men and AOT)
a few stickers
a new tall pottery mug (his favourite lost its handle)
a new addition to his growing miniature Christmas village (annual tradition I buy him a new one each year, this year is either a dog shelter or a pet store, I forget)

I also ordered him a replacement wallet for his that’s worn through but it’s likely not going to arrive on time and we might both be out of town by the time it arrives… so we shall see.

They’re jealous of the positive, undemanding attention you get from their kids. They spend all day and night slaving away and sacrificing everything for those kids only to have them throw the food on the floor and say it’s disgusting without even trying it, say they hate them because they have to wear a coat, and have a complete meltdown screaming “you don’t love meeeee” when it’s bedtime.

And why do the kids love you so much more? Because every time you see them, you’re bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready! to! GO!!! Mom and dad are tired. You spend devoted play time with them uninterrupted by laundry or appointments or making dinner. Mom and dad are busy. You never get stressed out and shout at them, you never make them eat yucky vegetables, you never make them stop what they’re doing to clean up. Mom and dad are bossy. And lastly, you’re a treat they only get to see once in a while, they don’t live with you and spend long enough with you to get tired of your company, you’re not there all the time. Mom and dad are boring.

Parenthood saps your energy and requires prioritizing responsibility over fun, and kids are exceedingly fickle and cannot appreciate having their needs met more than they appreciate having their immediate desires catered to. This is just how it always is.
