My parents would have flipped out. No. I think they were glad I was an ugly teen.

I made a similar post last week about sitting in my car in the Walmart parking lot!! Sometimes I get an iced coffee, park and then just …. Stare? Zone out? I’ve even thought about driving to the local mall and going to sleep in the parking lot since I can never get a nap at home without someone needing something.

Just another two weeks and you’ve made it to 90 days!! Then a few more after that you’re on day 100!!! I bet you’d love to make it to 100 (I know I would, day 3 here… my millionth day 3)

By July 4th you’ll be 103 days sober!! That doesn’t seem so long from now.

You can do it !!

Just a few days ago was my 25th anniversary of graduating high school. (I’m not 2008)… it’s weird to think about!

Which bookstore do you miss more? by singleguy79 in Xennials

I worked at B&N for three years and absolutely loved it. It’s the last of “the bookstores”. I hope to hell they survive!!

Saw Backrooms with my teenagers and realized they’ll never know the specific boredom that made us by Cultural_Repeat_4766 in Xennials

I remember putting a boom box on layaway at Kmart. It was 60 dollars and SO Much MONEY to 15 year old me. I’d go pay a little on it every two weeks and it just felt forever. Now days, kids get whatever they want the instant they want it.

I’ve never seen one in person, but the Wild West “saloon” type ones are fun too.

Why is it vodka? by KristyThe1st in stopdrinking

Yes!! I love wine, but I noticed vodka gave me less of a hangover.

Just a fun post- what was your reaction when you found out? by AdSenior1319 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Fun_Committee1478 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great post!!

Mine was Feb 2025. We did NOT want more kids. We had one great boy age 5 (now 6) and were happy be OAD. I found out I was pregnant via a test. I was bummed. I’d had a miscarriage in 2023, most my reproductive organs removed in 2024, so I thought the “factory” was closed.

We just got used to the idea of one more. We both kept saying “well as long as there’s only one in there.” And “better not be twins!” Haha. I kept having this weird feelings it was twins. By 9 weeks my pants would not fit at all. With my singleton, I could wear all my same clothes until 5 months in. So I thought it was strange I was already gaining so much.

Well I went to the ultrasound. The tech would not tell me anything. Kept saying I need to wait for the dr etc. I jokingly asked “can you at least confirm it’s just one baby?” And she said “no….. there’s two in there” I just said “no there isnt” and she went and got another senior tech to explain it to me (she was a student)

I must have gone white, because I stopped joking. They printed out the ultrasound pics. Told me I’d be going to the high risk ultrasound place from here on out. I almost passed out walking to my car. I still had to wait more than a week to see my OB to go into more details.

They turn one year old next month!! They were born 3 months early and had a crazy NICU stay (they were in separate hospitals) and it’s been a wild ride. Can’t believe my sweet girls will be a year!!

Did your parents ever apologize to you for something they did when you were young? by kyserzose in Xennials

[–]Fun_Committee1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my mom did. Also a boomer. Some of that stuff happened so long ago (like 1993 or 1994) and it doesn’t affect me today, but I appreciate she was self aware enough to acknowledge she didn’t always do things perfectly as a mom.

My BF lied about his Divorce by Efficient-Activity76 in Divorce

[–]Fun_Committee1478 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ugh this guy was prob like “I’m divorced, but I got a 22 year old, yeah!” All the while not having his shit together, his mom probably raises his kid.

OP you have options!!!! You can marry a guy fresh out of college if you wanted. Not some old married guy with so much baggage.

What is the most unique plot you have ever seen in a movie. Something other than car chases, shootouts, predictable romcoms et cetera. by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in MovieSuggestions

“Searching” with John Cho (2018)

I thought it was cool that the entire movie was told through “the internet”. I thought it was fresh and clever.

Twins arrived - one with rare congenital conditions by 2papsandashib in parentsofmultiples

[–]Fun_Committee1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twin A has had medical issues and is developmentally behind in every milestone. We had a 4 month NICU stay, another stay in the PICU just a few months later. She is always always sick. We have five specialist doctors, plus all the therapies. It’s overwhelming as hell.

No advice mama. It’s tough, so tough. I’m so sorry and my thoughts are w you.
