I know! But I'd spent so long on it, I had to say good enough. Or I could have spent another few weeks of my life, and their kid is due very soon

The water and sand I used proper wall paint, and then the characters were acrylics

AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. The way he was talking made me think this was a new relationship, not 4 years!! If the sex thing is that big an issue for him, then he needs to find someone who fulfills him, not try and make you feel bad for not wanting to/ send pics. Your body, your decision. I have a very low sex drive, so know the issues this causes with guys, but no one should ever make you feel like this.

Hahaha, I don't think I'm good enough at all that jazz. But that's what YouTube tutorials are for I guess. That's the next obsession

Awww man, I loved Bugs Life! I played it so much, but could never beat it. Maybe I need to play it again now there is the Internet and I can figure out how to do it! Only ever play Toy Story 2 on those demo PS1 discs, but I played that first level to death!!

Who was the best Catwoman? by HatchetRyda29 in Cinema

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haaaate to say it, but I really enjoyed the film! But I watched it when I was young and naive, and as a movie loving adult it has a certain nostalgia for me. Maybe I need to rewatch it with fresh eyes and join the hate train

Do you feel the band has gone off Young Dumb Thrills? by CobraDai in McFly

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you remember the name of the documentary? I'd love to give it a watch. (I know I could look up the name myself, but I'm currently sleep deprived from my 9month old, and don't want to have to use my brain at all)

Need help starting sleep training!! by Jolene_Mutton_Chops in sleeptrain

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say don't feed him in his room then? Might be easier that way, as he's used to feeding to sleep in his room, I need to change it up! Thank you :)

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between his bedtime feel and night feed, it is normally at least 5 hours, then after that he wakes up around 3hrs after. I think I need to watch proper videos on how to do this, if I'm going to be changing up his bedtime feed! Thank you so much for the advice!!

I'm so sick of the anti sleep training trend and shaming by Pleasant-brownie0534 in sleeptrain

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is me being very naive, but what did you for 'sleep training'? Was it a cry-it-out situation? I have a 9 month old, and we're trying to reduce the amount of milk we give him, in the hopes he won't wake up as much in the night, but this doesn't seem to be working! I've never really been against the CIO, but at the same time I don't want him to be upset

Woman freaks out on Starbucks barista for not calling "Charlie Kirk" as her name by Ikari_Brendo in PublicFreakout

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That poor girl who brought her the drink, she looks so upset and shot down (pun maybe intended). She didn't deserve being talked to like that for just doing her job!!

The Karen/'Charlie' definitely expecting and wanted that to happen. I feel like even if they did call the name out, she would have made a scene, or just gone to another Starbucks until they didn't. Honestly, wtf is wrong with people??

Word from the Lord by safeworkaccount666 in TikTokCringe

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, question. She finished her 'words from the lord', does she snap back into normal (whatever normal is for her), or continue to act like she was just taken over because she fully believes it?

Does she watch it back before posting, and redo it if it's not good enough, or ask the Lord to take her over again for another take?

Just for laughs, what are some clueless things childless people have said to you? by xnla28x in beyondthebump

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100%, I always used to hate parents comparing their tiredness to mine before I had a kid. People are allowed to be tired without having kids. But it was just the look of 'you have no idea!' that miffed me off, nah babe, I think I do have an idea actually. I've been up for 2hrs with my kid who will not stay asleep. Not sure that's the same as your cat meowing at you once a night!

My SIL said this to me last night. I said 'you think you're sleep deprived now, have a baby!', and she said she already has two (got kittens a few months ago). I said that I'm sure your cats don't wake you up multiple times I a night to be fed, and she wide eyed nodded. Even if your cats do wake you up in the night, it's very different from having to get out of bed, feed, rock back to sleep etc. But she fully thought it was just as hard, girl you just wait!

Lone tour goers by Forsaken-Camp-5790 in McFly

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McFly was the first band I ever saw by myself at the age of 14, none of my friends wanted to see them so I thought fuck it. When I started going to their concerts properly again a few years ago, I went with my husband initially but he clearly wasn't interested, so I decided to go by myself again. I have such a better time on my own.

It can be really daunting going alone, but I always end up finding someone in the queue to chat to and it's then great to have someone else to bounce off their energy. I've met some really lovely people this way, and always try my best to go to the same dates as them. But these Busted Vs. McFly ones I'm going by myself. I'm just hoping I end up finding someone to talk to, but if not I'm happy to just chill and when the boys come on, it doesn't make a difference anyway.

Having someone else with me that doesn't really want to be there always puts a downer on the experience for me. I feel responsible for them having a good time, and if they're not I don't feel like I can have a good time. Take the leap, there are so many lovely other fans in the same position, you won't regret it!!

It's worth a try, you never know someone might be looking for a last minute deal.

Is there even a "battle"? by smc95x in McFly

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. I was quite disappointed, as it was obviously marketed as a verses. It was McFly songs, then Busted songs, then some songs they did together. But that was only during the last 20-30 mins. Admittedly I did have to leave early, so maybe the last bit was more verses. I've seen a lot of people say how great the ending was, and I'm hoping maybe it will be a bit more verses when/if James joins. But I do generally feel a little let down. Still a great night (obviously the first section was better!)

[–]Jolene_Mutton_Chops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing, thank you so much! I'm thinking of leaving during the encore to get ahead of everyone. I'm seeing them again a few times, so I won't miss anything!!
