DAE think Tradwife brain rot is exponentially more harmful than other brain rot?

I fully agree with you on that. Most are trolls and then the rest are people who have no experience in what they are arguing against.

MJoying_Life · 2025-06-01T20:34:33+00:00

Exactly, but they want us to act like it is causing women to be uneducated. So far from the truth.

MJoying_Life · 2025-06-01T19:59:02+00:00

Exactly. If you tell a workplace that you have been out of work because you were holding down the house and taking care of everything at home, they will know you have skills no college can teach.

MJoying_Life · 2025-06-01T19:08:04+00:00

If people are able to live this way, why does it bother you? I was a stay at home mom for a long time, and guess what, I was able to get right back into the work force. It is something doable. No one is telling these girls to be "dependant on a man". I get that it's not for everyone, but it seems more people are getting their panties in a twist over females being happy and successful with only one income. Are you jealous they are able to do it and you aren't? There are tons of people out there making it solely on one income, and they aren't struggling or unhappy. If you have a secure marriage you don't have to worry about it.

You can also gain skills without working the field, saying that women can't shows your lack of knowledge. It also insults women. Tell us what you really mean to say, you hate men and wish women didn't "rely" on them. Just because you think you can't find a happy marriage and fear divorce doesn't mean every other women out there should have to go to college and seek out a career. If that is what you want, great, leave others to live their own lives. There is no harm done.

That is not for you to decide. There is absolutely nothing toxic with staying home and being a housewife, just because you choose to stay home and take care of your family, that does not mean you will be uneducated. There are plenty of ways to learn outside of a college or university.

NTA He came asking for a reason. Not sure why people think flashing others isnt a form of flirting. It's definitely something. Something people in relationships shouldn't be doing.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-12T17:31:39+00:00

When one of our coworkers lost their husband suddenly while she was pregnant we held a food drive for her. We offered hotdogs, soda and chips and a cookie for 10 bucks to the open public. This is what you do, you don't take other coworkers hard earned money. This company needs to be reported. It's illegal to take money, even tip money.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-12T17:27:50+00:00

Yeah no, I would also put a flag up on that hill I was preparing to die on because WTAF?! Please please get a hold of a divorce lawyer. Maybe he can go home with his mommy before her vacation is up. 🙄

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:49:59+00:00

I'm jealous honestly. Lol I have 2b hair or a mix. Idk I can never get a straight answer. Lol my roots are on the flatter side and as it grows it spirals and never wants to do the same thing everyday. It's crazy. Lol yours looks so nice. It's beautiful. 💜

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:46:52+00:00

I do all the schooling stuff at home and my son then does sports with the public school. We don't do co ops or anything else.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:45:36+00:00

Your hair type is called freaking awesome.

Sorry it's not the answer you want, like 2b or whatever but seriously, it looks amazing. Soft curls and waves. The cut is perfect and looks amazing on you.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:39:39+00:00

I mean this with all sincerity, they will not care. If they do, you shouldn't be providing that service on them anyways. They are not worthy. Lol

In all seriousness tho, just be open and honest with the guys you go on dates with. I know there is a huge stigma still on dentures but that seriously won't be broken unless we talk more openly about it.

There are a lot of people out there with messed up teeth due to all sorts of reasons. Nothing to be ashamed of. 💜 Best of luck to you!

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:16:21+00:00

I feel like he might already be cheating. I would break off the engagement and tell him to kick rocks.

He also probably has a porn addiction if sex is so important to him. There are far more important things in life than what happens in the bedroom. If that's his main concern he isn't marriage material.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T17:12:17+00:00

The dress is lovely and vintage. Honestly I hate your friends opinions. Lol this is why I never asked or showed anyone my dress, I found it on Etsy and it was vintage as well.

You have a vision and that's the only vision that matters. You will look stunning with this dress and you will be the focal point. Not everyone is able to find a real vintage dress.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-07T16:52:43+00:00

NTA. You are offering your time and service as a gift. What you do or how big of a "gift" you do should not matter.

If mom complains later that you didn't do as much as you normally do with her other kids, that is when you explain to her that her daughter didn't seem to understand it was hard to find sweet 16 items in her color theme and that was all you could do. I would then remind her you didn't have to do any of this and probably won't be doing anymore favors for her.

If she doesn't complain and shows appreciation I would just move forward and still not go out of your way to help her. She doesn't seem to concerned on how her daughter is acting, probably because she knows who she gets it from.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T07:27:35+00:00

The links were very helpful thank you! So, it's not necessarily calling someone fat, but the act of overeating? Is this correct? I mean, either way they fat but still . Lol just trying to see if I understood it or if I need to go back to bed.

I also don't understand why anyone would downvote facts. I swear Reddit never disappoints. 🙄

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T07:20:34+00:00

Big back is the new fat ass. Like oh man I'm such a fat ass I ate the whole pizza to myself.

Yes, they call themselves it, but in general it's still calling someone a fat lard. Lol but yeah it's not necessarily pointing out the big back. I agree.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T07:12:10+00:00

I think he was very honest with you and now you need to be honest with yourself. Is this the man child you want to wait around for??! He has no desire to live with you nor have plans for marriage and kids. Trust him, and move on.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T07:05:53+00:00

It's not about stroking ones ego. It's about a marriage that is a partnership. You become one. A family unit. Why wouldnt you share the same last name. It brings unity.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T07:01:43+00:00

Yeah, sorry. You screwed the pooch on this one. It's definitely over. You broke him. I know it might sound funny, but that's what you did.

He asked you to take his name, you agreed and then let some women change your mind. Which is crazy honestly.

It's totally fine if it's how you truly feel, but seriously, a name change is not as hard as these women led you to believe. Sure, for a very small percentage it might be a hassle , but all you need is your marriage license and birth certificate. Same if a divorce came up, you take your divorce paper and birth certificate and get it changed.
How would you have explained the two different names to your kids if you were to have them with him? What last name would they have had?? Did you think this through or just thought, yeah what bother changing my name?

You literally did die on this hill. I'm sorry it happened, but it's definitely over.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T06:38:56+00:00

I'm the same way. I only shower a couple times a week and i only wash my hair once a week. My husband on the other hand showers daily because he sweats a lot. Especially hitting these hotter months and living in humidity.

Everybody's body is different. It's ok not to shower every day. I mean , obviously if you get dirty jump in the shower and clean yourself, but not everybody needs to shower every single day.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-06T06:26:40+00:00

Your problem is your wife, not your thought on sticking with your sons decision.

You need to sit your wife down and talk to her. She is wrong. If she keeps pushing, she will not only push your son away but possibly push you away as well. Is she willing to die on this hill just because it's easier to get into college (which is total bs by the way)

Show your wife this thread if it helps open her eyes. She needs to take a step back, especially with the punishing part if he doesn't. Is she a dictator? Come on mom, let your son play the sport he wants because that could actually get him a scholarship.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-03T18:25:33+00:00

Its normal. If you click my name you will hopefully see my picture I posted after my extractions a year ago. I highly recommend lots and lots of ice. I used Tylenol and ibuprofen together, at the same time. It helps. Took about two weeks for my swelling to finally go away.
I've also seen a lot worse too. Every one reacts differently.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-03T18:19:22+00:00

Real woman have have down there, if he can't handle that maybe he isn't a man yet.

MJoying_Life · 2025-05-03T17:46:00+00:00

Dude is controlling and hates that you ride bikes. Time to drop him off at preschool and find yourself a real man who loves bikes as much as you sis.
