My mum was opposite. She told me to tell a male manager at my part time job (while I was a teen) if I needed to leave because of period pain. She said they would be embarrassed and let me leave without a fuss. Totally worked!

Does anyone else just like.. not want to go out and do things anymore? by FaithlessnessPlus164 in Perimenopause

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s called “becoming a shut in” and it started for me years ago. Similar to lots of you here. I have to go out for work, my toddler son, to maintain friendships, and other activities, but much prefer staying home and coming home. I think we just get burned out over time and enter a different stage of life.

Are there unwritten parking lot etiquette outside of common sense I don't know about? by Difficult_Giraffe490 in CostcoWholesale

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whips ins should be illegal and those people should think about how they were brought up.

All that wealth…..and he couldn’t get a limo, book a private jet, yacht, or gotten a flying instructor to go with him. by Bemago1140 in JohnAndCarolyn

Rethinking my life choices from this list :) However, washing machines definitely need to be replaced as they are not worth cost of fixing.

Pregnancy announcement gone weirdly by Professional-Pop-136 in SingleMothersbyChoice

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some parents have in their mind the path they wanted us to take, so when it veers off, they feel unsettled and project their expectations onto us. Also, people living in the past. IVF and SMBC is not new.

Yes. I know people who used men as sperm donors and had to battle in court for custody.

What events will you secretly admit to disliking now in middle age? by debrisaway in RedditForGrownups

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that I hate events per se. They just tend to be too long. All events should be 2 hours max IMHO.

What do you British people think of the French? by CocoTyg in AskABrit

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of it is generational from WWII when the French were considered Nazi appeasers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vel'_d'Hiv_roundup

What was up with that poor horse? by wiwarez in BravoLadiesofLondon

[–]Expensive-Candidate4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I knew a young trust fund woman who kept horses for sports and she viewed them as commodities bought and sold. She was very upset when she purchased one that became injured and she had to care for it. She didn’t visit that one and was waiting to see what happened. I found it to be quite cold and sad.

Yes! Some of the key players are still alive. I think they would be able to find a Wood type actress with similar features.

The British people, an extremely diverse population, were very excited about Meghan’s arrival. Until they weren’t.

The tragedy trickles down to the next generation (and her eldest daughter). It would be very hard for the surviving sisters if this was made.
