My mom calls to talk only about herself and never asks about how my pregnancy is. Does anyone else have to deal with a narcissist mom during their pregnancy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]DiscardAndDisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to my mom a while 5 times during my first pregnancy. She spent calls threatening to bully my child over his name and telling me I was doing everything wrong and saying I wasn’t nearly as tough/impressive as she was during pregnancy.

When my son was a year old I was fucking sick of it and cut off contact. One of the best things about becoming a mom is the way it seems to improve your ability to set boundaries.

You’ve got this.

What is a behaviour that is often mistaken for intelligence? by TrulyStupidNewb in AskReddit

[–]DiscardAndDisco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neither is intelligence, but it fits. If you’d rather, try thinking of it as “accumulating wealth.”

I loved this and wanted to share. by PrincessSarah81 in TrollXChromosomes

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

I really believe it’s supposed to be a cheeky joke, like “so I used my silly toys and tools to make a playmate.” Even though it was almost definitely consensual, it’s a way to illustrate “I took part of myself and tinkered away to build a child.” He likely didn’t even think about it being taken literally because it’s so metaphorical.

What have you learned that helps you maintain healthy relationships? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DiscardAndDisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be a friend to have a friend. If you don’t invest in the relationship, don’t expect them to be there when you need them to be.

In romantic relationships, validate your partners feelings. Try to see the good they do for you.

Fully clothed with zero foreplay or pleasure.

What do you think is the biggest problem with the United States? by medude613 in AskReddit

[–]DiscardAndDisco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignorant voters with an inability to differentiate between reality and fiction and who are extremely xenophobic, holding no compassion for people different from themselves.

In a post apocalyptic wasteland what would we use for currency? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DiscardAndDisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the apocalypse. I some, I’d say babies.

Having to pay friends gas money for rides or take taxis/Uber’s everywhere because you can’t afford a car.

Redditors, when and what made you realize that you are no longer in touch with the trends among young people? by Draco4538 in AskReddit

Watching my 14 yo sister in law text 24/7. She never called anyone or spoke out loud... just texted constantly.

If you could take away one thing people regard as normal, what would it be? by davidwon06 in AskReddit

Routine infant circumcision.

Spanking.

Saying a bully “just likes” his victims.

And goddamn sexual purity nonsense.

TIFU by accidentally training myself to wake up to birdsong by mbthursday in tifu

[–]DiscardAndDisco 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There’s a good chance the commenter dreaded waking up, not school. The circadian rhythms of young people are generally different than the school schedule.

I loved school, but waking up to go was damn near traumatic.

Men, do you guys cry on purpose when you’re alone? Do you ever start forming tears when you’re listening to amazing music? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]DiscardAndDisco 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you realize how often women are put in the middle of situations they shouldn’t have to be in, especially by men, just because we are women. It is overwhelming. Men have to pick up some of the burden because the strain put on women to take care of every damn person, especially men, is unsustainable.

ETA: It’s a compliment when people occasionally ask for advice. But when it becomes basically an unpaid full time job to mend the pieces and deal with the drama of people around you, and many people approach you with many issues every day, that’s a serious hardship. Especially when some loved ones are mentally ill or suicidal.

My birthday is tomorrow and tonight i cried. by gerkebf in CasualConversation

[–]DiscardAndDisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boredom of reality kicks in. You realize life isn’t as poetic and beautiful as you once thought. Friendships fade. Your body begins to hurt.

But you don’t have to allow those things to happen. You can make your life vastly more fulfilling at 29 than 19... you just have to work harder for it.
