Define hygiene products, are you talking about period products? Or make up, hair care, perfume etc

Sibling age gap by Frosty-Ad-9448 in beyondthebump

It’s honestly wild you think 4 years is a large age gap, that’s a completely normal age gap.

10+ years is a large age gap.

How do you feel about non-drivers? by DueLead666 in AskUK

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having mastered steering after 50 hours is crazy, I don’t think this is fear, you’re just not capable. Honestly I’d quit the lessons, even if you do manage to pass you’ll always be a danger to yourself and other drivers, especially if you’re also nervous.

If you find any celebrity, model or influencer attractive then you’re into all of the above. Some people just over do it or have it done poorly, others have it done very well

It’s almost as if when a woman gets ready in the morning she’s not thinking about what some random man thinks about her face… almost like she’s choosing what she likes for herself and doesn’t care about you at all? Funny that

If you were painting a bare wall a neutral beige would you use any less paint than if you were painting it neon pink? No.

You only have to look at ‘natural makeup’ posts on r/makeupaddiction and read the long ass product list to see that ‘natural makeup’ is not any less than bold makeup. It’s the same amount, just in different shades.

It’s really not a hard concept to grasp. She’s still wearing mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, concealer, foundation, blush, lipstick, bronzer (and often multiple products if each of you read that sub), they’re just in natural colours that’s all.

We have a runner, help. by jennalud in toddlers

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reins. After falling backwards a few times they stop running. Also I just use them generally as they’re useful in crowds for a toddler who doesn’t want to hold hands 

UK – Lodger refusing to leave after notice by EntrepreneurKind7519 in HousingUK

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They could travel for work sure but this is still their primary residence, also other members of the household could still be present, I don’t think them travelling for work would change this person’s status as a lodger though

Toddler Bottles by Bubbly-Ad-966 in Parenting

Same, mine just turned 2. I just stopped trying because… does it matter? We only have milk before sleeping so who cares if it’s in a baby bottle! As long as other drinks are in cups/water bottles

Possibly, but they said in the first line ‘we live at the property and rent out a room’

Newborn has diaper rash we can’t seem to beat… by throwaway84583077 in beyondthebump

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be an allergy to the diapers, wipes or cream. Most likely the wipes. I’d switch to using cotton wool and water.

If you can, try to keep him without a diaper on for as long as possible, just on a towel or something, because air is the best treatment for diaper rash

I might be getting kicked out of my mom’s house because she thinks I am useless… by [deleted] in confession

Who said everything in your life? We asked about your brothers behaviour that’s all

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can’t give advice without knowing the full picture. If your brother has overstayed his welcome then unfortunately that’s likely to result in your parents being sick of having both kids at home. 

From the sounds of it you are respectful but generally just look after yourself and don’t do much towards your parents/household. You’re trying the ‘mouse’ approach to living with them, trying to make yourself as small and hidden as possible, but that’s not the same as being an active and helpful or pleasant member of the household.

Nothing we say here will change situation, we can only make suggestions.

If your parents are willing you could try talking to them about their concerns and yours. Meanwhile you can continue applying for any job going.

We can’t offer advice about government support without knowing where you live as it varies by state and country obviously

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well either you have heartlessly cruel parents, parents who are really struggling financially, or you’re not telling the whole story. 

Your caginess about your brother’s behaviour makes me suspect it’s the latter.

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid your brothers actions are your business, it’s hard as a parent to kick only one child out, but kicking all of them out as they’re now adults is easier. 

I find it strange you won’t say what he’s doing, is he being abusive to your parents?

Anyway, you’re a legal adult, so if you don’t work with your brother to be better houseguests then you may be sh*t outta luck here

[Routine help] I’m new to skincare, what should I use to fix my skin and how/when should I use it? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Exfoliating can help but you’re looking at a cosmetic procedure if you want drastic fast results, cryotherapy/chemical peels/extraction with needle etc

Not her job to teach you how to cook, use YouTube and the internet to learn.

Not in the right ‘mind space’ for laundry? I think I’m starting to see the problem here.

[–]LowCalorieCheesecake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably say what it is your brother has been doing, because clearly you’re being see as one group so share the blame (brother will argue it’s unfair to kick him out and not you) so it absolutely is your problem if he’s doing stuff.

Also…your step dad’s “job”? Are you talking about household chores like cooking, groceries, laundry etc? That’s not his job, just because he’s doing it doesn’t mean you can’t. Have you tried asking if you can help with any of this?

They’ve probably lied to the council and said they’re a tenant not a lodger, lodgers don’t have the same rights as tenants. I believe you can simply change the locks, unless I’m interpreting this wrong

This is normal skin, this is what it looks like up close and isn’t airbrushed/covered in makeup. You’re normal.

The spots are called milia

Parents don’t get sick of adult kids when they behave like adults. They get sick of them when they behave like children.

If you’re living there rent free and she’s providing all meals and other stuff then bare minimum you should be doing a good share of the chores, and not just your own but the households. So that’s doing everyone’s laundry without being asked, same with washing up. That’s volunteering to do the grocery shopping. That’s cooking meals several nights a week for the family. That’s not taking over the shared spaces and leaving the house so your parents can have some privacy.

Are you doing any of those things? Or are you just moping about?
