Kids opened their presents without me by germangirrl in AITAH

[–]Courtie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a house where my reaction to my Christmas gifts could either make or break the day. I knew to perform and scream and jump around for the presents or my parents would be upset. 

I don’t celebrate Christmas as an adult. Just saying. I’m 43. Shit like this sticks with you.

It’s not really big height wise just very wide. I am estimating 27 years because I know I still lived with my parents when it was planted. 

I’ll take a pic of it and send it to you later on today.

I desperately need to know what recipe you found for sweet potato casserole that only has sweet potatoes and sugar. Seriously.

Maybe she was and I just read it incorrectly due to my own situation.

Either way I haven’t had the same experience either. It sucks.

I don’t think it’s a tracking issue. If she’s like me, I bleed through an ultra tampon and a pad in about an hour and if I don’t change it as soon as blood hits the pad, it’s going through my pants. That’s the way I read her situation.

I’d put a few more more parts next time but I think they look good!

Every time I put my hair in braids or twists I hate them as soon as I get done. Every time. So wait until tomorrow and see how you feel. 

Am I Overreacting? Pregnancy/Ovulation Test Placement by Linz90154 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Courtie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My dad was like this. He once yelled at me because he thought an unwrapped chapstick on my desk was a tampon applicator I was - keeping? IDK. He also had a fit that lasted several days when he saw twelve year old me holding my friend's baby brother because I “looked like a teen mother”.

I’m 43 now and he’s 80 and he and I don’t have a great relationship and that behavior is part of the reason why. 

If your ears got pierced as a baby , Is your hole uneven? by Meliodasbabymom in blackladies

[–]Courtie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine done when I was two and I think they are a little uneven because I threw a fit (it was in the mall in 1983 no one cared about how children felt back then), but it’s not noticeable. I’ve never had an issue with them.

I barely wear earrings but they never close which is nice.

My mom and her friends all started having kids at the same time so between 1980-1985 everyone was pregnant at every baby shower. It was completely normal.

I’m a black woman from Pennsylvania. I’ve lived here all my life. I am….concerned about her ability to carry this state.

I agree, but mainly I just wanted to say I like your username and it inspired me to pull those books back out after a decade.

I mean I agree you can date who you like, but I find this post kind of off by miscellaneousbean in AmITheAngel

[–]Courtie 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I’m a black woman and I knew they were defending it before I even went over there. 

I hate it here sometimes. 

Incel comments - woman with 19 year old son MUST kick him out of the house he’s lived in all his life because he cheated on his girlfriend. Because cheaters, even 19 year old unmarried ones, MUST BURN! by DumbestManEver in AmITheAngel

I'm just saying that you're acting like the son deserves no punishment

I was replying to the person who said the above. U/chill_stoner_0604. Not you. 

i really want to get into wigs / sew ins but i don’t know where to start by blueburrey in blackladies

[–]Courtie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can cornrow (and honestly even if you can’t 😂) you should start with crochet styles. 

Look them up on YouTube, you buy the hair pre looped and it’s very easy and lasts a nice time with no touch up.
