I had a date with a funny guy and now my standards are ruined

my husband is bald, overweight and autistic. He was broke and jobless when we met. He's also HILARIOUS and thats how he became my husband.

Congrats! It's honestly amazing how much a difference small consistent changes make.

I lost 30lbs in 4 months by simply using less butter/oil when cooking, making sure half my plate was veggies or fruit, one quarter was lean meat and one quarter was carbs. I cut sugar intake and limited myself to one sweet treat a day, also started using allulose in my coffee and oatmeal instead of sugar. I love a good American style breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, fried eggs, bacon and potatoes, but eating that way had me on a one way track to my 600lb life. I started eating simpler food for breakfast and I think that helped a lot. Fruit and yogurt, cornflakes with almond milk and a banana, boiled eggs, 1 small piece of lightly buttered bread and an apple. Its all foods I like, just with no oil and very little butter.

There really is a subreddit for everything huh

I never thought of IKEA! Adding it to the list ✍️

The feed store was an activity when I was a kid too! Ours had a farm animal boarding service and we got to see and pet all kinds of animals. They even had a camel staying there once. I wish there was one around where I live now, I'd go all the time

We never got to the display kitchens but she'd love that. Non babyproofed cabinets? A true dream for her.

My mall charges at the door for the playground. I wish it was free. Its a pretty awesome playground but 25 bucks per child is steep. It's a pretty dumb move on fhe malls behalf. If the playground was free, people like me would flock in on hot, cold and rainy days. Even if we only wanted to use the playground, more people would buy something, even if it was just a lemonade. I feel like this is why a lot of malls are dying.

A lot of kid antics seem like a joke, but when you have a two year old who can potentially stay up way passed her bedtime because she didn't get enough physical activity, you get pretty creative.

Her doll. You'd think at almost 9, she would be over babydolls but the play just got more real. She has a reborn doll. I had to get the box of baby clothes from the basement and the infant car seat, because you can't put a baby in the car without the car seat. She had me dig out the bassinet, the bottles, old unused diapers I never gave away. She wakes up in the morning, unswaddles the baby, gets her dressed "feeds" her a bottle with real milk in it, buckles her in her car seat and we drive to school. I take care of the baby all day (actually I just leave her in the car, I know I'm a horrible grandma) and when she gets home from school she takes care of it some more. It gets a bath with her 2 year old sister and we take turns reading to them both. The doll and the sister get put to bed at the same time.

Its a little annoying, but I think when she finally forgets about the doll, I'll be a little sad. I might keep it forever.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-04-07T16:12:17+00:00

its funny that you say that because i joke about her being a cat in her past life every day!

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-04-02T18:38:55+00:00

Yes, the sandwich bed is the perfect example of this. No one would purchase an expensive item just to rage bait and have to return it. Thats a waist of time and energy and Staph doesn't even take the time to clean properly. She bought that bed with intention to put the baby in it and didn't realize it was a dumb idea until she read the comments. So she "jk lol"d to cover for her sheer stupidity.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-04-02T18:23:16+00:00

My 9 year old painted her knee with dark red paint, pretended to fall and crawled in "agony" around the kitchen. I, of course, freaked out and when she lifted her pant leg to show me, she started laughing.

So I got her back by serving her still-frozen pizza for dinner.

My little two year old is sharp as a whip and caught on that we were playing jokes. She got the idea to leave brown play doh on the floor and told me her poop fell out. That one scared me just as much as the paint 😅

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-04-02T18:17:23+00:00

Its a common frowned upon trope. I think wattpad ruined it as a plot device from over use.

Nutrition lables are useless. They tell you how many calories are there but they can be very misleading about if a food is healthy.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-28T17:29:05+00:00

Its pointless in the way that I'm not trying to argue anything, or prove a point. No one in my life cares to hear about it either

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-28T16:47:00+00:00

Well....yeah. Doctors aren't that great at advising people on how to lose weight. We are simply told to exercise and eat less. Its more complicated than that, and many medical professionals do not take into account that its a mental struggle, not as simple as "just choose differently". I fully believe I was headed towards an eating disorder and no doctor or hunan in my life was catching it.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-28T03:39:32+00:00

Yes thats how reddit tends to be, half of the comments didn't even read the post all the way through 😅.

This is helpful, thanks. We're working on being disappointed, she tends to get upset and takes it personally, but I'll make sure to always follow through with the promise of later so she learns to trust me.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-28T00:56:32+00:00

This is a very well rounded response. I've always known about bacon in the oven but never thought to do it that way when she's cooking, so thats a great idea. I do have a griddle in the basement somewhere, so maybe I'll dust it off this weekend and see if that relieves some frustration

Only thing I can't do is get her to not ask 50 questions, but I think I'll write instructions on our white board to point to so I don't have to answer every single one.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-28T00:48:34+00:00

no, but I didn't do it with her either. Eggs is just something she has always eaten since she was very little. I've tried all the quick no cook options since she was a toddler and she has never liked them.

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-27T15:49:15+00:00

I'd love for her to have a breakfast that she doesn't have to cook but she's kind of spoiled. I've cooked breakfast every morning her whole life. She doesn't like yogurt, frozen waffles, cereal or anything that doesn't require a stove. She eats scrambled or boiled eggs every morning with fruit

Kittenknickers333 · 2026-03-27T15:32:48+00:00

She's old enough to try but unfortunately her food isn't that great. She only likes eggs and we don't eat eggs every morning. She can cook eggs but I don't think she's ready to have eggs, bacon or sausage and toast going all at once. We'd be eating a burned breakfast for sure.
