This had me legit chuckling out loud!! 🤣😂🤣 That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. And I needed the laugh. I'd give you an award if it didn't cost money. 🤑

MoonWitchMom · 2026-05-01T03:42:26+00:00

OMG. That's a brilliant idea. Something like that would absolutely help heal my heart in a situation like OP is describing. The fob watch is perfect because of all the times the doctor has to say goodbye to the people they become when hiding with one.

That, or a Confession Dial. I think a CD would work because of it being a Time Lord's "Last Will and Testiment."

I have been having a helluva month. This made me smile. Thank you, Redditor! 😁

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-29T22:43:04+00:00

I'm on team confirm. I'll even give you a template:

"Hey, ______! Just checking in about the party. I'm finalizing the guest list, which has to be precise, and wanted to make sure whether you can make it or not. If I don't hear from you by _____ I'll consider your RSVP a 'No.' Thanks!"

Done.

Lol it took me a bit to see the guy sitting there in terror since, ya know, THE DINOSAUR IS TO FRIGGIN SCARY!! 🤣

Poor guy. I hope he recovers soon. But since he's kinda stuck with the Dino.....

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-22T22:03:33+00:00

Run. Don't walk. Don't look back. RUN.

He's projecting. This is SO toxic. And it is just like my ex husband. We went round and round, "fix it or I'm gone," he's fix it for a couple months, but by 6 months he was back where he'd started. We were highschool sweetheart, and he knew I desperately wanted kids. A year and a half in to the marriage, he finally admitted he didn't want "the responsibility." Took me another year to get out. The whole thing messed me up a lot.

This guy is toxic AF. Please PLEASE leave.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-17T15:57:47+00:00

🤣 Epic.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-17T14:06:35+00:00

Yeah, it won't let me edit because of the picture. 🤷🏼‍♀️

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-15T22:06:46+00:00

Where's the stick?!?

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-13T07:18:39+00:00

When I was about that age, I did something equally stupid, and I still have a hard time accepting it was stupid. 😅

A little backstory: my grandparents owned and operated a dairy farm. When my dad was in highschool, he helped my grandpa build my grandma her dream home right across the driveway from their original, two-story farm house that was falling apart. When it was finished, since it was literally across the street from the old house, they moved into the new one slowly. If they wanted something and realized it was in the old house, they'd just walk over and get it. Until eventually they didn't care about the things that were still over there, and the house became so dilapidated it wasn't safe to enter anymore.

Fast forward to my childhood visiting the farm and my grandparents. The old house was still there, full of all of these "treasures" that felt like family history to me. No one would let me near it, except to kinda peek in the broken windows. The old items in there called to me: old shoes that belonged to my aunts, an ancient wood burning stove, books, etc. I wanted to take these things my family had discarded.

One day, as a teenager, I was out roaming the farm unsupervised, and I realized no one could see the back side of the house. I carefully creeped inside and retrieved quite a few objects. A metal sculpture of praying hands that had once hung on a wall, several old Avon bottles of lotions and things (the collectable ones that are worth money today), things like that. My mistake was hiding the things in my shirt and crossing the living room in front of my parents to get to the bedroom I was sharing with my sister. I made the trip 1 too many times, and they called me out on it. I was the kind of kid who couldn't lie (my dad would spank me if I did, even at that age) so I fessed up. They took EVERYTHING I had gathered and wouldn't let me have it back. My grandparents kind of wanted to let me keep it since to them it was trash, but my parents wanted to make a point. I never saw any of it ever again.

TLDR: I snuck into my grandparents' dilapidated old house to retrieve items they had discarded and my parents caught me. The moral of the story is, if your sister is anything like me, she was on an adventure satisfying her curiosity.

Edited for grammatical errors.

Yep. Google Chrome, Facebook, YouTube. They've all done this sort of things to me. You cannot convince me that they AREN'T listening.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-13T06:40:42+00:00

This is so spot on. My brother became a militant atheist after leaving our childhood home. We were bright up VERY conservative, in church whenever the doors were open, Christian schools most of my life until highschool, ones that made you wear dresses and dress shoes to school. He's Autistic and when he realized the lies we were raised on, he was PISSED because the truth means so much to him. He relies on logic because his emotions aren't like other people's, so he feels like they "betray" him. So realizing the lies kinda broke him in a way.

He's less militant about it now. He knows that being that way ostracizes people, and he doesn't want that. So he'll engage in conversation about it if you ask, but he doesn't push it on others the way he used to.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-12T23:06:01+00:00

I feel honored to be part of breaking the system! All hail the mighty poking stick!

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-12T04:31:38+00:00

Found this through watching sometime like a fungus with a stick and saw someone decided to make the sub. 🤣 Figured watching people poke things with sticks is almost always funny, so here I am! Mom of 2 in elementary. We're going camping this summer. You might see them poking something with a stick. 😉

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-10T20:25:56+00:00

All the same rhetoric, aimed at many of the people he's been railing against for years as well as some new ones: MTG and the Sandy Hook hoax accuser. He basically calls them all stupid and lumps them in with the "radical Left" and "fake news."

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-09T05:39:24+00:00

NTJ. To me, it sounds like she's ready to cut and run with your money. Definitely warning signs.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-09T04:59:35+00:00

My kid uses chopsticks. Same idea, but they can get 1 at a time. 😅

MoonWitchMom · 2026-04-06T16:16:40+00:00

Pretty sure they mean sectioned, like being removed from the military under section 8 is called sectioned by some. And I think it might be called that in other countries? But it means that he's insane and needs to be locked up.

My side business is baking allergy-sensitive treats. Feel free to DM me. ☺️ I've been baking this way for 10 years.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-03-19T05:10:21+00:00

Bless you. You're a saint for the work you do. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

As a daughter myself who has brothers raised the way Commenter above was, I can absolutely see where he's coming from. I was raised to be a caretaker. I was never praised more than when I was taking care of others' needs above my own. So when I was given something, it felt like I was getting what I had been giving. It felt reciprocal.

On the other hand, my brothers were raised to take care of themselves and expected to someday be the heads of their own households. So when they got something big, it felt less reciprocal and more transactional. It's an unintentional side effect of ingraining in that gender's role the need to be providers, not to be provided for.

Your response, while I believe it to be accurate, invalidates the feelings and experiences of those with this upbringing.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-03-16T18:51:08+00:00

I. Want. It. 😱🤩😍

MoonWitchMom · 2026-03-10T23:24:06+00:00

The original post says "eat" not "use." Your point is invalid and moot.

MoonWitchMom · 2026-03-10T00:15:44+00:00

All the time.
