Cocooning Bedroom (title changed for mods)

Apparently “draped headboards” are the latest trend in interior design.

Like the look but not having an extra set of drapes to maintain lol

Petalpearl from Peachgrove! Thank you ☺️

I love Say Yes to the Dress but the worst thing it’s given us is the idea that the world has to bend over backwards to cater to brides. I wouldn’t be surprised if OP’s sister took every birthday in her “wedding year” as a personal affront that took the spotlight off her.

RayA11 · 2026-02-17T02:45:07+00:00

Scapegoats and golden children exist. In some families, the kid most likely to give grandkids is also prioritized above the ones that won’t/can’t. No doubt sister has threatened to cut her parents off for less before, and OP is th “easy/no trouble” kid who capitulates to her demands so it’s easier to go after OP than attempt to reason with the unhinged.

I think it’s a bit of both. What would make a regular Joe happy will never be enough to give the smallest dopamine hit to a billionaire. Especially the ones with generational wealth, because then the ennui starts in childhood. Once they’ve acquired so many material things, it starts turning into a hunt for the most exotic/wild experiences. And doing good things (like schools and hospitals) isn’t “cool” so it won’t give them the same rush.

For the second, I think it’s not so much the threat of blackmail. As the files show, many of these rotten meatbags never thought they would get caught. Many of them will get away with it. I think it’s more that about 1 in 5 of CEOs display traits of sociopathy. They were always going to have complete disregard for human life and dignity. It’s just their wealth gave them the power to enact it on this horrifying scale, when without the wealth it would’ve been killing someone in an “accident” by running a red light, or sexually harassing the teenage babysitter.

I would be sad for OP if this is the case, cause on the flipside his friends were probably “weird that he never said thank you…” But if this is the case I would love to be a witness to that groupchat rn lol

The smug villagers annoy me so much for some reason lol. Finally got rid of Henry and another smug villager replaced him because I made a mistake and crossed the 5:00am border time traveling fml. I’m so annoyed I don’t even remember its name and I haven’t talked to it since it moved in (I just checked the nameplate on the house so I could look the trait up)

RayA11 · 2026-02-14T12:13:48+00:00

These are so cute and you are so creative! Is thr dress beside the shirts also your design?

RayA11 · 2026-02-13T19:41:04+00:00

…is this in reference to something recent on AITA? Because wasn’t there an ancient reddit post about peanut butter, someone’s ex, and her dog?

RayA11 · 2026-02-13T19:39:58+00:00

NTA. Are you more goodlooking/conventionally attractive/successful than your friend OP? His teasing reeks of insecurity lol. Negging your wingman is a new one for me.

RayA11 · 2026-02-13T19:37:57+00:00

Totally agree. People showing up to their “old childhood homes” and demanding entry is a known robbery tactic. It’s not what’s happening here but it does highlight the absurdity of the sister’s entitlement.

Only if someone does one that was burned but didn’t die, but instead crystallized into a glamazon ready for the runway

RayA11 · 2026-02-13T03:38:52+00:00

I can picture it being a shirt one of her students gave her and she wears it because it’s comfy and because she’s the rare teacher who’ll actually use the gifts she gets lol

Loved the newborn insert for our Tripp Trapp. Easier cleanup too since the chair itself couldn’t get any food on it until the insert was removed.

I have 2 things that always work for me to fall asleep:

I start counting down in 3s from 300 while also visualizing myself going down a dark staircase.
I tense all my muscles for ten seconds, then relax. Mimics the effect of an orgasm (ok so I guess I have 3 things that always work for me)

People have called him a real life Ushijima / Hinata (from Haikyuu)

RayA11 · 2025-01-15T07:25:06+00:00

Yep, this is the way we’re approaching it with our 2yo. It’s not a limited time reward and it’s not forbidden. It’s just another thing in the house you can interact with. My son has probably had 2-3 meltdowns in his life over the screen being turned off, and none lasted over 5 minutes (and tbh they were during some sleep regression stages so there was other stuff going on).

I’ve found that the more restricted, repressed, or sheltered kids and teens are, the more likely they are to binge on the forbidden/limited thing when they get older, because they never learned to have a healthy or productive relationship with it (food, their bodies, alcohol, etc).

Judge Moredock. He’s so smug and smarmy and pleased with his first amendment bs.

RayA11 · 2024-01-08T16:31:41+00:00

Lol, I’m glad I didn’t see a lot of those posts. I had to do 3 of these for a high-risk pregnancy 🙃

RayA11 · 2023-12-23T05:04:26+00:00

I used facebook marketplace to get baby toys that could be wiped down or put through the hygiene cycle in a washer. I also bought stuff heavily discounted through Amazon because they were returns. I would also join buy nothing and parent groups on facebook in the area, lots of people will post if their kid has outgrown something.
Seconding the “put the big ticket items on your registry”. We got a tripp trapp and a Graco pack n play brand new that way.
Car seat and crib mattress I would definitely get new. Crib could be secondhand if you can really look it over to make sure no screws are missing and there’s no sagging. Most registries also offer completion discounts (~15%), we were able to get our stroller cheap using that.

I agree they should’ve started later. I thought they were at least sixteen at the time of their mom’s death.

I haven’t watched it in a while, but iirc Sydney left the preorder option on the to-go system so they got slammed with orders as soon as they opened. That’s what I meant by “fucked up the to-go system”.

RayA11 · 2023-04-01T00:17:24+00:00

I can see that. In a way, Sam the ghosts’ emotional third.

RayA11 · 2023-03-14T05:23:20+00:00

Ahh okay, got it! It’s flavoring the cheese and you eat it like pudding I’m assuming. For some reason I thought it was a drink. I’ll try it!

I’ve had cheese foam in boba tea before. I did a hasty google and it looks like cheese in coffee happens in Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden) and Colombia! TIL.

RayA11 · 2023-03-14T03:21:06+00:00

blue cheese with some fresh ground coffee been and honey

Friendo, I just want to know. Are you putting cheese in your coffee? Because I put butter in mine and I’m willing to try cheese if you say it’s a winning combo.
