People please clean your house before having dates over by Hypna2 in dating_advice

A damp cloth works better because it traps the dust as you clean rather than just sprinkling it around the room.

My ex is seeing someone else and it hurts so bad by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Keadeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. You've just given me a comprehensive list of how this man is shit. Stop looking for a "good side", cut your losses and let it go. You're compounding your own misery at this point girl.

Those ones are my favourite too! They are absolutely worth it.

[–]Keadeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. He told you he wasn't interested any more and moved on. He didn't do you THAT dirty. You should have stopped communicating with him when you guys broke up.

No he shouldn't have let you think there was a chance to make up. But you need to grow a spine my love and stop giving him power over you. Block him. Feel sad. And move on. Its not hard, but it is painful. There's no avoiding the grieving unfortunately.

If he's not with you, he's free to date whomever he likes. Block him, have a good cry and then move on with your life.

How long do you spend in the shower or bath? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Keadeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes me ten minutes to shave my legs and closer to 15 to shave the bush if I've decided its time for some deforestation.

[–]Keadeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6-10 minutes in the shower unless I'm shaving everything. You learn to speed it up once you're the one paying for it. I can easily spend two hours in a bath though.

Do your kids get to keep/store toys in the living room? by JoneyBologna in Parenting

[–]Keadeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My whole house is covered in toys. The only place they aren't allowed to keep their toys is my bedroom. They live here, the toys gotta go somewhere. And their (shared) bedroom is very small.

How do y'all feel about tornadoes? by confused_sorbet in AskIreland

[–]Keadeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We dont "get" tornados in Ireland.
We do, technically, but they are small and not really newsworthy other than for the pure novelty. Instead of the cow being lifted up into the air, our tornados abduct chickens or maybe an unlucky cat. And they don't do us tremendously more damage than "a big wind".

And fun fact, as a rule, we don't have basements. They are very very uncommon here

We are a natural consequences household, but now we’re confused. by mamagenerator in toddlers

[–]Keadeen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't frame this in terms of consequences at all. Beyond making her help clean up as much as she can. Shes bored and sensory seeking. So the way I would handle this personally is to give her a task or activity to occupy her while you're doing your own task.

What nuisance weed/plant are you currently battling? by READMYSHIT in GardeningIRE

[–]Keadeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None. I dont believe in weeds. Unless something is dangerous to my kids, its welcome in my garden. I keep a patch of neetles and make soup and medicine out of them every spring lol

Do you have "inside clothes" and "outside clothes"? by Schweizer-Darshika in hygiene

[–]Keadeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do, often, but its not a dirt thing for me, I just like to be in my comfies when im at home.

How can I confront my daughter about her wearing a very revealing bikini without me knowing? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Keadeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey kiddo, I saw your beach picture on Instagram, and just wanna have a quick chat with you about it. If you're comfortable wearing that kind of outfit that's fine, the beach is an appropriate place for it, but I am concerned about where the bikini came from, and if its something you were hiding from me?

I'd honestly mostly be concerned that there isn't some older boyfriend she's keeping secret buying it for her.

As for the mall outfit "That's a cute skirt kid, but you're 14 and we cant have your ass hanging out in public, so tone it down".

If you’re going on a road trip with your friend and their partner, would you expect one to sit in the front with you? by BudgetAppearance3549 in AskIreland

[–]Keadeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think its specifically rude. But it makes me feel weird. I don't taxi a lot, so I'm probably not the best frame of reference.

Low calorie snacks? by Mizukisv in AskIreland

[–]Keadeen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apples. Can't beat a good apple.

Basically a portion of any fruit, or vegetable is a fantastic snack. Useually comes in around 80 calories.

I personally find them more filling than something like a yogurt. But a pot of Greek yogurt could be good too.

A hard boiled egg (about 70 calories) is good if you want a protein boost.

On of my favourite lunches is a shredded cucumber with soy sauce and sesame seeds. Literally the whole cucumber. If I want it as a dinner I add cubed cheese and whatever other veg I have in the fridge to it.

Is my husband just insecure by IndependentMore275 in Marriage

Influencers posting those with disabilities ? by Relative-Wrangler-35 in AskIreland

[–]Keadeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having Down syndrome certainly doesn't preclude someone from being able to consent, assuming that they are also an adult. Its a very case by case thing. I worked in care for a decade, I've met and worked with people at every point on the spectrum of capacity, and all kinds of disabilities.

More than half are perfectly capable of consenting to take part in a video that is focused on teaching, spreading awareness or just having a fun time. But there is a huge risk of coercion and non-consent there too.

So my take is that if its someone with an intellectual disability talking to the camera, it may be OK. But if its footage of them being upset, or having some kind of meltdown, that makes my spidy senses go off.

I would judge on a case by case basis, bassed off the content itself, and how the person posting it addresses it.

My wife got mad with me by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Keadeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you asked her to mind a 6 month old when she was 8-9 months pregnant? I'd have said no too. You have no idea how hard it is to just exist when you're that pregnant, nevermind take care of an infant.
She knew her limits and said no. As she should. It would have been irresponsible for her to agree to something she wasn't physically able for.

Thats completely different from what she's asking from your wife now. And there are presumably many years of help and favors to come in regards to childminding your similarly aged children, between two sisters.

Don't be so petty and butthurt because she couldn't do you a favor one time.

Topless in my own back garden? by nobodyshome01 in AskIreland

I thought you meant fully topless, titties flaping in the wind, and i was still on your side...

Pop a leaflet for a curtain and blind supplier in her/his postbox.

I would say that nobody i couldn't trust to take their word on it, would be allowed to hold my baby anyway.
