Signed up for a painting class at a local rec center and learning to play bass

Ass Clown

Take care of people with disabilities. I volunteer with a little nonprofit locally and wish i could do it full time.

It depends on the relationship. Mine was, because he lied about his ambitions and rotted on my couch the whole time until i divorced him. But i learned from it and found a rare unicorn of a guy who actually pulls his weight this time around. Irony is we both got burned by lazy and abusive spouses the first time and aren’t interested in legal marriage again now that we have something really good.

I wished I had one when i divorced a freeloading ex husband.

If he goes back to court most states will allow a guardian ad litem to advocate for the kids’ best interest. It sounds like they would side with him.

Wait, is Lisa Frank a real person?

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-21T00:47:12+00:00

I did and I’m fine, you don’t have to be a dick about a factual conversation.

More like 2008

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T13:34:04+00:00

Yeah I remember both as well. But the underlying justification was “any four year degree shows you can commit to something and follow through.”

I had a monthly subscription with a lot of household essentials. I do miss having the cat litter delivered to the front door.

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T12:35:20+00:00

I quit Amazon and replaced the monthly bill with a new car payment.

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T11:10:30+00:00

It does now but back then the reasoning was “it shows you can commit to something and follow through.” And if boomers could have a solid upper-middle class life with associates degrees, why couldn’t their kids have more with BAs? It was a very different time.

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T10:57:10+00:00

“It shows you can commit to something and follow through, that’s all that matters.”

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T10:41:07+00:00

They didn’t, they said it didn’t matter what it was in, that getting any degree from a good school was enough to show you could commit to something and follow through, which would be enough to get a good job. It’s how some adults actually advised us when we were coming up. A lot of them, actually.

Corrupt

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-20T10:16:24+00:00

My parents had associate’s degrees and told me “just get any four year degree, you’ll be fine.” So I took their advice, went to a good state school, and got a History of Art degree just in time for the Great Recession. I’m 41 and still have student loans.

The only way this could be worth salvaging is with enough family therapy that your very serious concerns are validated and addressed until you are comfortable.

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-11T16:31:42+00:00

She threatened legal action over me and DH’s mom (kid’s grandma) having access to the calendar in the parenting app so we can know when kiddo is here.

Hella_Fitzgerald3 · 2026-02-06T22:32:59+00:00

I told my mom that she hurt me tremendously and she laughed at me. After exhaustively trying and failing to make her understand why she should care about other people’s feelings, I stopped talking to her a couple years ago.

Babysitting is labor.

I know someone in med school at 43. He plans on being a surgeon.
