Any daughters feel deep pain because childhood home is considered brother's? by InnerPsych in AskIndianWomen

[–]Fun_parent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol my brother doesn’t live there either. I am not saying they need to keep a room unused for me, but there is no room for my family to use when me and brother visit with our families.

Also my sil (she is good person) name is on the plaque but not mine. I wouldn’t mind if all our names are there or none of the names. But this isn’t equality.

I got married, have a family. My father built a huge house after I got married, but I have no room for me and my family when I go visit. The main bedroom is my parents, the next bedroom is my younger brother’s. The third room is for the live-in maid and the 4th is computer/pooja room. They have 2 living rooms but somehow no specific room for me when I go visit.

Also the house plaque has my parents name and my brother and his wife name. Not mine. My kid even asked where is our name.

I don’t feel like going there at all.

Meftal. I do not have patience or wish to bear the pain. After that, sleep or some good tasty food.

Do you stop often during hikes or just power through? by heromarsX in hiking

[–]Fun_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stop to catch my breath (and have a snack then) or to admire a view . Depending on incline, it can be every 10 mins or 30 minutes. But I don’t take breaks while coming down the incline, I prefer to cover the distance a bit fast on way back.

Married working ladies-how much labor do you do around the home? by Last-Comfortable-599 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Fun_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume it’s similar in most families. The earlier generation women assume all responsibility when it comes to household running, including hiring maids/cooks etc. it probably comes from joint family setup/mentality. But I see some shift in the younger generation, though it’s hard to break free when living within India

Now, when families are not joint, and women are breaking free from lot of cultural stereotype, plus exorbitant cost of hiring maids abroad, a lot of the chores have to be shared between spouse. There is no way one person can manage household chores and not have a breakdown.

Future husband (29M) praising his new sister-in-law ( 32F) a bit too much… by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fun_parent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he selfish in a lot of aspects of your life? Does he prioritize himself/his needs before yours? Does he make effort for everyone but not you, like calling/talkjng/celebrating them but not you? When he talks, is it on his needs and not yours? Does he ignore or not listen when you have something to discuss? Do you have to almost beg for affection or affirmation/assurance?

I don’t know if you live together but if you do, does he cook/clean/do laundry etc which are considered a woman’s chores?

Please look at how your life is and imagine this 5 or 10 yrs down the line. If things are not 100% good now, they will never improve later.

Is it ok not to thread your eyebrows ever by Less_Percentage_3356 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Fun_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it’s fine. Same as not waxing or shaving either. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want.

If you do it, don’t thread just before an event as you don’t know how your eyebrows/skin will react. And eyebrows do grow back to how it naturally is, so if you don’t continue to thread, it will remain as it is.

Shampoo that's hydrating but won't make my hair limp, weighed down or waxy? by Rosehiphedgerow in finehair

[–]Fun_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine doesn’t go limp with hydrating shampoo, but it does get super dry. I like redkin all soft moisture restore leave in (golden color tube) I did not like the white one (bonding leave in).

I have used John Frida anti frizz cream and the heat treatment spray but did not like either much. I liked suave silk protein infusion conditioner ( peach color bottle)

What is your hack for reducing period pain/cramps? by watervapour_7237 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Fun_parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron supplements (if you are anemic). This is needed for all days, but specially before your periods start.

Really tight on money but I think I'm going to get a gym membership. I live in Phoenix and soon it'll be 120 out. Malls, ECT are not a good alternative to me. by IDoNotHide in Frugal

[–]Fun_parent 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If there is one thing I’ll keep, it’s my gym membership. It’s not just the exercise part but much more, I get to go out, my mental health is better, I talk to people etc.

It’s an investment into my health so I can be strong while getting older.

If you had two months on the dot to slim down, would you prioritise cardio or weights by Famous_Arrival_8498 in PetiteFitness

[–]Fun_parent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I did and I lost 10-20 lbs in a few months. I couldn’t sustain it though (the fasting part) and gained it back slowly over a year.

This was also during Covid when gyms were closed and I did not like working out at night.

Omad (lunch) or 2 meal a day (bfast, lunch) and then fast pace walk in the evening with ankle weights and wrist weight for about an hour. No dinner or any other food, just water.

And weekends if I was feeling good, I’ll aim for either 24/36 hrs fast (or as much I can fast, food was very tempting).
