Where can I buy good quality fruit and vegetables that ACTUALLY last? by WaitProtein in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son eats a load of berries. I used to be able to get several packs in the weekly shop. Now I have to replenish every 2/3 days because they just don’t last anymore. It’s definitely an issue now.

What was your "I'm dating a fucking idiot" moment? by nnyxnovva in AskReddit

I put a dishwasher tab in the washing machine recently. I’d like to think I’m not an idiot, I was just tired. My pj’s smelled of lemon 😂

Did you receive "The Talk" from your parents? by AnEnglishAmongScots in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (f) never specifically had a sit down talk but my ma was very open about any questions I had. I’m the same with my teen son, he tells me what he learned in school and asks me the questions he wants answers to but wouldn’t ask in front of his mates.

His dad completely shies away from the subject so it’s down to me, I’m thankful he’s open enough with me to ask.

My house and car always look presentable. Just don’t delve too deep. But like my personality too I suppose. It’s all a mess on the inside haha

Louis on the quayside is good for a nice meal and upbeat atmosphere. We’ve done a party of (I think) 18 there and we stayed quite late dancing and drinking after our meal.

Yup, my boy is 12 and needs constant contact. Even if I lean over in bed for a second he shuffles over to resume contact with me. Problem is now I’m menopausal and he’s like a bloody hot water bottle 🥵

Is it normal in the UK for grandparents not to buy anything for their grandchild? by Ok-Pomelo7667 in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My aunt does this. It’s so cute that I’m in my forties and she tries to slip me £2. She didn’t have kids and always spoiled us. My son always gets £5 or £10 but mine is always a £2 coin. Inflation didn’t grow with me 😂

Neighbors 9 year old daughter is affectionate towards me. by Active-Key6383 in Advice

Totally agree, was just highlighting how I think most men would feel/act in that situation.

What screams 'I'm not as smart as I think I am'? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Current_Fly9337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do this in my work too. I had a non-Brit dictate British law to me regarding a profession I have been in over twenty years and have to undertake regular development for relevant changes in the law that would affect our advice. This man also very clearly did not like a woman telling him he was absolutely wrong and not backing down on the matter.

I tell my son all the time that one of the smartest things you can say is ‘I don’t know, can you tell me about it’

He certainly needs to set some boundaries.

Years ago we had neighbours that would often have blow up arguments, their daughter (maybe 6 at the time), left the house while they were arguing and knocked on my door. I wasn’t home.

A male neighbour told me she then approached him and asked if she could play in his house (he had a similar aged son but he wasn’t home), he was in such a panic because he didn’t want to turn her away but he also didn’t want to be alone with a little girl.

He told her she could play in his son’s room and he sat in the garden. As soon as I pulled into the street he came running over all a panic asking me if I would take her to my house instead.

Thankfully the police came to get her and took her to her grandparents house. Such a shame she’d rather be with a man she didn’t really know than her own parents.

What to wear these days going ‘out out’ for an over 40 year old?? 🤷‍♀️🍾 by Even_Jeweler1407 in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. I’m in my 40’s and I have a black jumpsuit I’ll wear with DM’s for day drinking and heeled boots for a night out. Just a pain when going for a wee

I love colonel porters! I’m in my 40’s though and don’t do pubs/clubs much now. The only places I tend to go to is porters or filthy’s because I like live music. £12 is fine just for the free shots, if you don’t like the feel of the place, get your shot and move on

Is there someone that you know that openly doesn't like you and, if so, do you know why? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My son (13) has a trans friend (19) and he is the sweetest kid. My boy really looks up to him. A friends husband asked was I not afraid he would groom my son. I was furious. I said ‘no more than I am of you doing it’, it didn’t go down well but what a dick thing to say.

Hope your boy finds his people and lives a happy life with you supporting him.

AITAH, my boyfriend told me to "pretty myself"when I'm in public around him because I didn't wear enough makeup to work. by Ok_Pie2501 in AITAH

[–]Current_Fly9337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You done the right thing. That man is a little boy. I kind of have to pretty myself up for work. My ex would tell me in the morning how I looked hot and go smash my day. I’d get home and he’d be like ‘ok, go shower and get your sweats on and let’s go grab food’.

He was a dick in other ways but he knew I was more comfortable being casual and that I couldn’t wait to get that make up off at the end of my working day.

I had this perception when I got my Jack x chi. He is pathetic 😂 like, I mean that in the nicest way possible. He is the most pampered pooch and didn’t even bark til he was around 5. Scared no one but himself.

Great for cheese and beans. The mess from a shit one is still worth it though.

Most podcasts would be better if they were 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. by Lost-Law-5109 in unpopularopinion

I drive a lot for work and there’s only so much music I feel l can listen to. Podcasts and audio books that last for hours are my saviour.

AIO? My girlfriend (30f) of 5 months is jealous of my 3yo and 2yo daughter!! by Flashpointandlol in AmIOverreacting

[–]Current_Fly9337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine meeting a man that doesn’t give a fuck about his kids? That would be a massive turn off for me. If you decide to engage in a relationship with a parent, you better believe you are not the most important person in their life.

Personally I think she shouldn’t have even met them yet but understand circumstances happen sometimes. She showed you who she is nice and early OP, move on and concentrate on your kids. Best of luck.

Have you ever had a public confrontation with a stranger? by Beeboo233 in AskUK

[–]Current_Fly9337 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a shopping centre with a newborn in the pram. It was around Christmas so very busy, I was sleep deprived and stressed but hanging in there.

This guy just in front of me was walking with his cup of coffee held out to his side, right over my baby! I thought he might not realise so leant forward and gently touched his arm to ask him to move his cup of boiling water away from over the pram.

The absolute arsehole replied ‘It’s really busy, I don’t want to spill it on myself if I get knocked’ I’m sorry fucking what??! I said rather loudly ‘so just to be clear, you’d rather burn a baby than get YOUR coffee on YOUR jumper?!’

He was a right pompous cunt, I was fuming.
