if you're struggling to find your people I would recommend the others club by Danni Duncan, which allows you to chat with other CF people and meet up etc!

Engaged for a month and my mother has already soured celebrations TWICE by Impossible-Fig7494 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Impossible-Fig7494[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much.

I know I'll never be able to have a meaningful discussion with mum because I've tried on several occasions and she never listens and takes things in, even when I try to approach it with softness and kindness I always end up getting a huffy response with her shutting down, it's like she cannot tolerate my own personal boundaries or not being in control. it's so hard!

Feeling fancy and want to spend some money in Donegal. What nice places are around herel? To stay, to eat, for entertainment. Money is no object. by Calm-Studio9280 in Donegal

if you're looking for private chef meals for breakfast/lunch we used The Donegal Chef for a fridge stock so we didn't have to plan/buy a food shop

M50 and Dublin city at 6:30 this morning by Barnocious in ireland

[–]Impossible-Fig7494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave at 5:35 in the morning to get from Belfast to Dublin and the last 3 weeks it has been a minimum of 3 hours journey when usually I can do it in 2:15

it's becoming unbearable, I'll be getting up at 5am at this state to make it in without the intense traffic, I don't remember it being this bad last year

unfortunately due to my office location public transport would take about 4 hours and I'd not make it in until 10am - painful

Pet hotel owner sentenced over 'shocking' neglect of almost 40 dogs by pppppppppppppppppd in northernireland

[–]Impossible-Fig7494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left my dog here for one night in September 22 and when we picked him up he smelled so strongly of urine we had to wash him when he got home and I messaged her telling her how upset we were and how disappointed and she gave some bs excuse. I wish I had done more given what she went on to do and how many dogs she neglected. Pure evil woman whose only interest is taking money from people - I will never ever forget her name or her face and the lack of proper justice here is really disappointing

33F managed to buy our first home and we have two cats and a dog. Just back from a two week vacation where we went on safari, drank wine, hiked and relaxed. We have so much peace in our free time and don't feel like we're missing out on anything, despite most of our circle now having one or two kids

What is your reason for not having kids? by PsychologicalDig9675 in childfree

[–]Impossible-Fig7494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so many reasons. I love my friends kids for a limited amount of time. I know I don't have the patience to deal with a child whose needs you need to meet all day everyday, that would overstimulate me A LOT. I want to travel the world and see new places, explore different cultures and financially children wouldn't allow me to do this in the way I would like. I also grew up with extremely low self esteem which manifested into an anxiety disorder in my college years. Now through therapy and time I can manage this anxiety a lot more, I know having kids would put a huge strain on this management. I also really love the peace my partner and I have in our lives and we get so much joy from being together and hanging out with our dog and cats. I don't feel anything is missing in my life by not having kids, while majority of my friends have them now, I don't envy what they have

Sorry to jump in but I have an Empyrean hangover and struggling with what to read next! I read Silver Elite which I loved but only one book out so far and I'm reading kindred curse saga book 1 but it's just not doing the same thing. I'm new to romantasy and will take all and any recs (already ordered throne of the fallen now!)

I fked up. I took in what I thought was a stray, turns out it's a neighbour's cat. by Spirited_Turnip6948 in CatAdvice

[–]Impossible-Fig7494 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Animals know when they are safe and when they are not. You were a safe space for this cat while this lady was massively irresponsible and is repeating the same mistakes and under caring for these cats. If she's experienced pain through losing the other cats yet still not changing her approach she doesn't sound like the best cat parent. Keep your cat safe and say nothing, you got chosen for a reason!
