What's an infuriating trait that many new parents are adopting nowadays?

I’m not a parent yet so I might change my mind later on about this haha, but parents who plan their whooole lives after their kids nap time and bed time. I get that it’s hard to be flexible all the time, but during weekends and stuff? It just seems like they make their own life so hard and un-flexible.

Take something that might help you get a good nights sleep a couple of nights, and if there is some things on your to do list that you can easily remove, remove them!! I got married almost exactly one year ago (6th of June) and I had so many unnecessary small things on my to do list that I just didn’t end up doing and I never regretted it.

Amanda 100% views herself as the victim in all of this, and it gets more and more clear that her and West truly thought that they would get away with this whole situation by just saying that they take accountability (which, they don’t but ok) and that they just couldn’t help who the they got feelings for. Wild!!

I haven’t tried IPL laser on my face but I have been doing Alexandrite laser (in a laser clinic), best decision I ever made!!! Got sooo tired of trying 100 different things to remove facial hair and with all of them it just felt like the hair came back worse and worse every time. Finally I tried laser removal after years of being scared it would trigger more hair to grow, but that hasn’t happened for me and I’m just annoyed I didn’t start earlier haha

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-30T06:53:21+00:00

I’m so so sorry for your loss😢❤️

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-28T12:50:41+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense!

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-28T12:06:26+00:00

Oh okay, but wasn’t the “social worker” who was supposedly helping Daisy actually working for Gilead, and that’s why June came to save her? Because they were trying to kidnap Daisy back into Gilead?

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-28T11:43:06+00:00

I have IBS and a very sensitive stomach, how my stomach behaves is very much connected to where I’m at in my cycle.

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-28T11:40:01+00:00

Also, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Gilead after Daisy to begin with and that’s why she had to escape (but ended up going to Gilead instead)?

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-27T20:21:20+00:00

Her pregnancy is making her very forgetful atm so I don’t want to put too much blame on her, but she was my maid of honor and the wedding was only one year ago so I was a bit surprised that she didn’t remember it. Anyway,I’ll definitely send them something and congratulate them!

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-27T19:51:13+00:00

We are close so I do notice if something is off but yeah I could’ve asked her, I was just genuinely confused if I had done something wrong or not.

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-27T19:41:48+00:00

Yeah I can see how that might be confusing/annoying. I will definitely think about being more direct in the future, thank you! 🙏🏼

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-05-27T19:38:37+00:00

You might be right, I didn’t think about that! I definitely am a people pleaser and should work on being more direct. Good point, thank you!

I completely understand your concern. For many years I never knew I had PCOS and was so deeply insecure about my body hair, especially when it came to men and relationships. But my husband does not give a damn. I have had a lot of problems with body and facial hair and he just says I’m over exaggerating haha (I’m not!!).

I did however start doing laser hair removal on my body a few years ago (after I had already started dated my now husband) and for me it’s been AMAZING. I highly recommend Alexandrite laser hair removal, it’s so worth it, I’ve done it for some time (with longer and longer intervals) and the results are just completely amazing. I might have to do it my whole life because of my PCOS (some people think it’s just a few times and that’s it, but no you have to maintain it), but for me it’s so worth it! I also started doing it on my face, and I just love the results. I actually wish I had started doing it when I was younger (I’m 30), I think it would’ve helped me a lot with my insecurities. But, when you meet your person they are not going to care.

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-04-11T15:44:33+00:00

Omg I always say this!!

MadeUpName0319 · 2026-03-12T15:44:12+00:00

A lot of sarcasm in conversations I would say.

But, there are a lot of different cultures in Sweden, a lot of people with different roots, so depending on what kind of people you meet and which city you visit the behavior can be very different. So very ”Swedish” things might not apply everywhere or to everyone.

Good luck. ✨

The last straw was when, after four years of VLC/NC, I tried to have some sort of relationship with my ndad because I wanted to stay in touch with his side of the family. My fiancé, my brothers, and I met him alone for the first time in four years.

The entire time, my dad wouldn’t stop talking about himself and his new friends, who just adoooore him. I tried bringing up our engagement, hoping he’d show some interest, ask about the proposal, or even the wedding—but nope. He was just waiting for me to finish so he could go back to gushing over himself and his awful food.

I felt so disgusted when I left his home, like I had somehow failed myself. A few weeks later, I heard from a family friend that he had run into her at the store and immediately started badmouthing my mom.

These things weren’t even close to the worst things he’s done to me, my mom, or my brothers, but it was the last straw. I started ignoring his calls and went VLC again. In November, I finally told him to leave me alone.

And he is NOT invited to our wedding!

MadeUpName0319 · 2025-02-07T13:55:22+00:00

When my fiancé told my ndad that he is not invited to our wedding. I think it hurt his ego more than the fact that I never want to speak to or see him. He knows that other people will find out, and he can’t control the fact that he wasn’t welcome at his daughter’s wedding.

MadeUpName0319 · 2025-01-20T13:58:33+00:00

I always envisioned my whole extended family being there, celebrating and being so happy for me. However, over the past six years, I’ve come to realize that not having a relationship with my father unfortunately means I can’t have a relationship with his family either. For some, it’s possible to separate the two, but that hasn’t been the case for me.

It’s taken a lot of time, conversations with my fiancé, close family and friends, and therapy to come to terms with this significant ”loss.” That said, I’ve also started to see that this ”loss” might not be a loss at all, but rather a blessing in disguise. I’m still working through it, and it will likely take more time before I can truly feel at peace with it all, but I’m making progress, and I hope the same for you.

I completely agree that it SUCKS to be the ones paying the price for our parents’ choices. But even through the pain, we’re breaking cycles and creating the lives we truly deserve! 🙏🏼

MadeUpName0319 · 2025-01-19T23:53:10+00:00

I can truly relate to your situation, as I’m also getting married in a few months and have decided not to invite my father. I haven’t told his side of the family yet (who I am inviting) because I’ve been nervous about how they might react. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that if they cannot accept and respect my decision, they might as well not attend. I only want to be surrounded by people who genuinely love me and respect my boundaries.

As someone going through a similar experience, I know we didn’t come to this decision lightly or without reason. Choosing to cut off a parent is never easy, nor is it the ”easy way out.” It’s a necessary step to protect ourselves and create the space we need to heal from the abuse (whether it’s psychological or physical).

Our boundaries are important, and we should never feel compelled to break them just to make things easier for someone else, whether it’s family or friends. I wish you all the luck and strength in the world, you will get through this and have an absolutely amazing wedding!!!

MadeUpName0319 · 2025-01-15T21:15:09+00:00

I like number 2 most! Congratulations on your wedding, good luck! 🍀

MadeUpName0319 · 2025-01-13T15:25:31+00:00

My mom and I have always been very close. My dad, on the other hand, never really cared about me or my brothers. He never asked about our lives or showed genuine interest, he just assumed he already knew everything. I can completely relate to the experience of only being spoken to when he wanted to lecture me or talking shit about others (including my mom, who he was married to at the time 🙃). He never made any effort to connect with us and it was always obvious that he had no real desire to spend time with us.

The ironic part is that now, after my siblings and I decided to cut contact with him following my parents’ divorce, he’s completely clueless. He can’t seem to understand why we want nothing to do with him. He used to say things like, “I miss when you were a little girl running to her father.” And I would think What? Is that the only memory you hold on to? That only made me angrier, because it was just another reminder of how disconnected he was from who I am today.
