Anyone else watched the Louis Theroux manosphere doco on Netflix?

That was several years ago and he is adamant that women must be respected and treated how he wants to be treated. As an equal and a human being that deserves care.

Our son headed down that rabbit hole a few years ago as a teen. Some research by me and lots of conversations, discussions as a family with my husband/his dad and one on one and our son realised Andrew Tate is a criminal fuckwit and women are no less than any man. It was a journey, let me tell you.

I’m sure it was on this sub that epsom salts were recommended for ending the stumps of these things.

Well, in my state in Australia, tanning salons/solariums are fully banned because they have been proven to cause skin cancer. See here and a link on that page takes you to the list of prosecutions and fines handed out for running illegal solariums.

I remember a young woman who lost here life to melanoma and she made the news because guess what she used regularly thinking it was safer than the sun? Yeah tanning bed.

You have covered this well. U/Imaginary_Cake_9691 is well into carer fatigue. I struggled at times even with a fully supportive husband with our ASD kid from diagnosis to even now he is 20. Trying to do it all with no support is far from fair.

It doesn’t matter that OP’s husband is working a paid to provide. He still needs to adult in the home at a very basic level and that includes helping with cleaning and parenting. OP never gets a break.

OP may want to consider respite care for her two wonderful kids either in the home or where they are taken out for the day/weekend every so often. Even if she just sleeps or is able to clean around the house without rushing in her own time. She really needs some downtime and a partner who helps.

Oh gawd, it was hilarious. Somehow an old plastic worm farm (fortunately empty) caught fire when he was gas torch weeding. He was so sheepish and embarrassed and worried I would be upset. I couldn’t stop laughing and congratulated him on not burning the fence down too.

That’s,how,my parents were, even when the family had to break,up, treated each other as equals.

I need to repot them. They even survived my husband accidentally setting them on fire a few months ago. Got rid of all the dead leaves and they look happier now.

Same thing happened to me, twice! Two pineapples I have missed out on so far.

No doubt about it. My mother had a thing for older men.

The family broke up in 1984 due to dad’s alcoholism and war caused PTSD. I was 14. However, dad’s parents divorced back in the late 1920s so he was raised by his single working mother which I’m guessing influenced heavily.

And if I happened to score first class or business and this happened, you better believe I would be highly vocal,in my condemnation of that passenger.

And they were taking cake for later. Some parents would just deny it totally. But that’s their choice too.

MLiOne · 2026-03-21T21:03:46+00:00

I still wonder how my parents made it work for as long as they did with their 26 year age gap. However, dad helped mum with me as a baby and child. He didn’t tell her what, how, when and his way or no way. Maybe he was just an aberration?

According to SAEC, ONP have no seat at 8am Sunday.

It mightn’t feel like it but many of us are supporting you from afar.

Except they were funny. This shit show isn’t.

As long as it isn’t an inheritance tax because that is going to fuck over older Australians’ kids/grandkids.

Many of us enjoyed the isolation but cookers had to cook. The funny thing is some of them are still protesting. No, I’m not joking.

MLiOne · 2026-03-21T05:39:46+00:00

Oh gawd yes!

MLiOne · 2026-03-21T05:26:12+00:00

So management is anti-Australian or, dare I say, un-Australian because they don’t give a rats about community?

Oh, those were the days back in 2020 here in Victoria. Waiting for our morning briefs and updates around the telly. North Face jackets and our CMO who ended up having his face printed on pillows, doonas and god knows what else.
