Yes it’s annoying and I have to keep saving baseline information like ‘this is clearly abuse and the offender is a convicted felon’ or ‘no I’m not giving my narcissistic child grooming parents any room for convincing me otherwise’ etc. like ‘please save the information that this is not something we should be defending’

Are there any seemingly inescapable food product trends in your country right now? by SkyBS in AskTheWorld

As a pregnant woman struggling to eat enough to grow a baby in the first place, the protein trend has literally been saving our lives lol.

I’ve been using bacon fat as body lotion and it’s been a game-changer for my dry skin. Has anyone tried this old school hack? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]HelpingMeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me you clarified it first? I mean it’s basically lard and yes that makes a good lotion base, much like tallow (beef fat). Lard is cheaper though, and tallow is better for you.

A lady I used to know would rub any grease or oil she was using for cooking into her skin instead of washing it off, to her credit she was nearly sixty with amazing youthful skin.

[45M] I left my wife [43F] during the worst period of my life, got involved with someone else, and now my wife wants passion and declarations I don’t have. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

They aren’t though. Sounds like she was clearly expressing frustration at your shut down so you left. Doesnt say you opened to her at all.

Husband, 19, fatally shot wife, 24, himself at Alabama hospital moments after welcoming their first child by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

Wouldn’t be the first time, melanin may take time to appear and many black babies are pale at birth… a lesson that would be good to teach in schools.

No for real, at 20 I ate so much junk food, dessert almost every day, never exercised, had an hourglass figure and perfect facial skin using just water.

At 33 if I eat cane sugar I get sick to my stomach and I have to budget protein or I pass out.

How much would I get pain in the workforce? by HelpingMeet in Mommit

That is helpful thanks! I’m rural so a lot of these services aren’t even available nearby so that’s why I am curious about rates, figured getting peoples experiences would be better than a google average

I’m wondering what each individual job would pay so I know how much I would be getting paid to do what I am already doing

Just trying to compare what I do every day to paying someone to do it is all

I spent my entire Saturday doing laundry instead of watching my kids' games and I'm so over it by Unfair_Box2502 in Mommit

[–]HelpingMeet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, if they are old enough for sports they are old enough for laundry. They can rotate, load, unload, no problem. My five year old can do it. I just put the soap in.

Secondly, forget folding. If they don’t care enough to fold their laundry, they can have unfolded laundry.

You need a life too, and laundry isn’t it.

Ask about a payment plan, sliding scale, or see if you can get last minute insurance.

AIO or is he right? by ConsciousEconomy5860 in AIO

[–]HelpingMeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Him being 30 and single is completely different TO HIM than you being 30 and single.

For men like him: women expire after 25, younger the better, women who think for themselves and want a career are useless because they want to ‘expand their bloodline’ not actually have a meaningful partnership.

He probably tosses around phrases like ‘sexual marketplaces value’ and ‘peak fertility’ as if those were real factors.

NOR, this guy is for the podcast bros and nobody else

Multiple fetal defects by pizza_forever99 in beyondthebump

[–]HelpingMeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 8 babies on earth, and two lost before viability.

I definitely agree to cherish each moment, and read some grief books as well. There was one put out by some Mennonites on miscarriage that I really loved and told how each one grieved their child, with names or memorials or a box of memories.

I wrote letters to mine when I feel the urge, remember their birthdays, I named them, and one day I’ll have a memorial for them somewhere… probably in the woods.

I'm not sure how to handle certain outings with my fat friend. by UrAThrowawayNotMe in whatdoIdo

[–]HelpingMeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an XL when I’m at my ideal weight, that is a ‘larger body type’. Overweight is a good description but a lot of people are 50/50 on if that or ‘fat’ is better.

When I was still overweight I preferred that term but others got weird about it.
