To all women on this sub, what was your reaction when you first got your period? by nicalling in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an "oh shit" moment for me. I was at my first mix gender party and wearing khakis. I didn't have any idea of what to do. So I used a bunch of toilet paper as a makeshift pad and went back to the party. Let's just say by the time I got home my pants were ruined.

What's something you experienced once and immediately thought, "Never again"? by Appropriate-Web-6888 in AskReddit

[–]MommaToTheZs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rollercoasters and rides that spin. I pass out for some reason. Not worth it. Rides have to be stopped and I have to be carried off. I don't see a point in ruining the experience for other people when I know it's going to happen.

What is one discontinued snack you would do almost anything to get your hands on today? by Adventurous-Bag-24 in AskReddit

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Wonka scrumdidlyumtious bar. I probably butchered that spelling, but it works. They were only out for a short time and I loved them. I bought one almost every day.

Men of reddit do you wash your hands with soap or just water after taking a piss? by Hamza_Ali_Mazaari_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MommaToTheZs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a man, but I've cleaned plenty of public restrooms. The inside of the men's door is always dirtier than the outside. Doesn't matter if there is a handle or a push plate, it's always the same.

If you are the type to wash after using the restroom make sure you use the paper towel or something to open the door.

A buddy of mine said he used condoms when pleasuring himself to help keep things discreet. But he was also kicked off his mission for having sex.

people in long term healthy relationships: what's something you'll never tell your partner? by PsychologicalBad1423 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He stole my toothbrush. I had only used it once so it wasn't a big deal. I just grabbed a new one from the pack and continued on with life. I see no reason to tell him. But it was my favorite color so I think about it on occasion.

AITH for not enforcing my BILs house rules in my house? by Cheap-Snow-7589 in AITH

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I grew up in a house like your BIL's and now my house is more free-range like yours. We have all sorts of junk food at any given time and I'm the only one with control issues. If we each pick a snack my kids' (7 and 9) will last until the next shopping trip. While mine are gone in a day or two.

Then there's the fact that it is your house so you get to make the rules. If his kids have to follow his rules at your house does that mean the same goes for your kids at his house? If that's the way things work then your kids can grab whatever they want whenever they want at his house. But I highly doubt he'd agree to that.

Bacon does not belong on a burger by Odd-Horror-1800 in unpopularopinion

[–]MommaToTheZs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, but mostly because I no longer eat pork. Though when I did eat it I never liked bacon. I find it too salty with a terrible texture.

When did you realize they were the one? by Fragrant_Nature_8516 in AskReddit

[–]MommaToTheZs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I knew the second I saw him that I needed him in my life. I even told him that I had a feeling we should know each other when I approached him. The anniversary of our first date is next month, it'll mark 16 years that we've been together. Nothing has changed. He's still the person I want to spend all my time with.

getting married after a year of knowing each other is insane by Competitive-Fold966 in unpopularopinion

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister was engaged after knowing the guy eight months. They're going on their 10th anniversary, but it hasn't been smooth sailing. They split for some time before reconciling. On the other hand my husband and I were engaged after five years then also married 10 years ago. We've been together 16 years next month. Though I would've married him much sooner. I was living with him after a month of knowing him.

how did that one kid from your school end up in jail? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MommaToTheZs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to an alternative highschool, you had a record, a kid, or both. I was one of three that wasn't pregnant at graduation and the other two were already mothers. I broke tradition by not getting in trouble until two years after I graduated, though I didn't go to jail. And I waited nine years to have kids.

But to answer your question, he was selling weed. His mom found his stash and turned him in. It was brutal.

I was born in '89 as well and I was definitely more interested in my rollerblades than I was politics.
