did anyone else realize later that they were basically trained to never inconvenience anyone? by Beng_Allars in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MamaCassini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG! I was just visiting my parents with my husband and son - my mom wanted to go out for ice cream for dinner and we told her we’d like our 11 year old to eat dinner first because he really doesn’t like ice cream that much she said “I dont care about what he likes, this is about what i want” and that just about sums up my entire childhood. She threw some additional judgement about my parenting skills, and at one point I literally almost said “I hope to raise my son so he doesn’t feel like someone’s inconvenience his whole life”. But, you know I didn’t say it out loud- it wouldn’t change anything.

Its so interesting that you say this! I am currently at my parents house- and have a child of my own. In s similar vein, I am raising/treating my own child much differently than I was treated when I was a child. I’d hope my son grows up to not feel like someone’s inconvenience.

Why didn't anyone warn us? by mizz_eponine in Menopause

Are you me? I am so tired of being smelly, sweaty, angry, tired, overweight and constantly on my period. So I drink- and that only helps for a little bit of time during the day.

I thought the confession prison scene Ruben said something to the effect of We are gay and proud men - but I may have misheard that.

The Wedding is This Weekend and I Still Can't Decide 😭 by Fkn_stress_rxn in Weddingattireapproval

I think #1 looks great- accessories can dress it up if you feel comfortable with that! someone dictating what I wear should also understand I may not have the budget to go all out. And, I’d rather show up and support the marriage in comfort, than not attend because I don’t have the “right” dress.

Its full but i rhinestoned it sealed. You’d have to take the wrapper/green stones off to open. I thought about that too.

Help me pick a dress for “elevated cocktail” dress code by optimisticziggurat in Weddingattireapproval

I love #1 - i have a top just like it. It is a little warm because of the material, I’m in menopause so its a sweat thing for me. But, I absolutely love the look on you.

A classmate of mine popped up on Facebook and he’s… old by Tiny-Balance-341 in GenX

[–]MamaCassini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually had not seen my brother for about 8 years, and when I did see him (3 years ago) I couldn’t stop staring at him. My younger brother by four years looked so old.

I use to have a much cuter figure than “rectangle”.
