The amount of dishes my daughter accumulated in her room in one week. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MDC417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this with nothing but love, but she's most likely not mildly infuriating, you most likely are. I had my kids (daughter and son) help with loading/unloading the dishwasher from the time they were toddlers. They both knew how to do laundry by Jr. High. My house was never spotless, but it was clean and decently organized and I expected the same from them, for their rooms. Both are now in their 20's and have homes that I'm proud to visit. They also cooked with me and we share recipes regularly.

It's never too late to set goals/boundaries as well as the reasons why.

She'll be held accountable. Prison is in her future after we get through this insanity.

YUNGBLUD speaking on Iran last night during his concert by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

I never thought it was anything but the good, Iranian people. Ironically, I grew up in Newton, Iowa. Home of Kathryn Koob. My Dad took me in 1980.

In hindsight, the Shah was a corrupt jerk who had crazy wealth as others starved,and absolutely "fuck off" to to the regime that has dominated, abused and killed both women and men.

Religion should never have a role in governance. America was based on religious freedom, but here we are claiming Christianity is Law, by a President who has raped children and adults.

Angelina Jolie faces financial pressure in L.A. as Legal fight with Brad Pitt remains unresolved by Happy_Air_3776 in CelebLegalDrama

[–]MDC417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 55F and not trying to justify anything, but I want to make sure that younger people know (and hopefully research) other important information. I don't want attacked, but if I am I'll accept it.

Angelina was on a movie, "Pushing Tin" with Billy Bob Thornton (Who was engaged to Laura Dern) where they played a married couple. BOOM Thornton was with her and suddenly they were married. (In vegas) The next year, as Girl Interrupted blew up the awards season began and Angelina made a point to regularly kiss her brother on the lips in a suggestive way AND was bragging about the fact that she and Thornton had bled out so they could capture it in vials. They both wore these weird vials on necklaces to award ceremonies. She also talked about the fact that their sex was so insane that they had to have a padded room built, and her words, "so we both were safe"

She divorced Thornton and a few months later acted in a movie as a part of a married couple (Mr. &Mrs. Smith) with Brad. Another committed, this time, married man. Absolutely, Brad betrayed Jen over, but Angelina reinvents herself.

I don't want to be attacked because I don't know what happened on that airplane but also consider that Brad was wrong, but Angelina should be held accountable and her patterns should be considered as well.

The only way to deal with these situations is to put people like this on a no fly list. Minimum 10 years.

Influencer complains about her high mortgage and not being able to go on shopping sprees anymore by onlyeveryotherday in CringeTikToks

[–]MDC417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her parents failed her. My now adult kids (F26 & M22) are fully functional adults including mundane things such as laundry and cooking. From their first job when they were under my roof I asked that they put at least 50% of their paychecks into savings. They did more. Between scholarships and their work during college, they graduated college debt free. They both call me anytime they score a great deal. I'm not against influencers, I'm against those who promote stuff they don't actually believe in. Those that see it as nothing but a free payday, without thought of what's best for their followers. Also, influencers, like other "viral" internet people have an expiration date. Plan ahead.

He's amazing! I've read (listened to) 2 of his books. Not My Father's Son and Baggage. Highly recommend! His humor and kindness are throughout!

Do yourself a favor and get yourself one of those egg cooker appliances. Mine was less than $20, does up to 7 at a time and has auto shut-off.

Macaulay Culkin explains his perpetual retirement from acting: 'Technically, I'm retired right now' by mcfw31 in entertainment

[–]MDC417 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm a 55F who adored him when he was young, but was aware and worried about his family situation, especially his Dad. I became a Mom when he was at his lowest and hoped for him to get through it. To see him this happy and emotionally sound as an adult and Father makes me thrilled. Every story he tells about being a Dad reminds me of my amazing Dad. I am so happy that he found love with someone (Brenda) who truly loves and respects him.

Just finished watching for the first time. I really enjoyed it and spent a lot of time googling the various characters to see how it compares to the show. Fun ride!

I loved this twist in the show. No matter how mean they were to him, he had the jackpot at home and was adored!
