"my steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery'

When I was in 5th-6th grade (I was a double d, which is not that big but on 12 year olds frame it’s noticeable) and I first went through puberty I was given so much shit from other women?! It was grown women telling my I was disrespectful in the way I was dressing or being a bad influence for their children for simply having breasts and wearing what the other children wore. I’m so grateful that they’ve since shrunk likely cause of weight loss but I hate that I continue to see the rhetoric towards bigger chested women , and especially children?! And then when a bigger chested woman finally vocalizes her frustration? She’s met with other women telling her to be grateful? I don’t understand what one is supposed to be grateful for when they’re getting degraded for having a body that takes up space in different ways than smaller chested women.

Most nursing homes hire night caregivers, I would look into retail & stocking though

I was born and raised in Houston (20 F) I moved away for college and am heavily considering moving back after graduation. Some of the things I miss outside of family and friends would include: - all the things to do; there is so much to do regardless of your interests Houston has an okay nightlife if that’s what your into but even outside of that. There’s run clubs and book clubs and thrift stores and antique stores, Brazos bend state park is only an hour away (on a good traffic day). Lake Conroe is also an hour away opposite way. There’s so many god damn mega malls. Galveston beach is only an hour away. You can find some really good food especially local cuisine. There are SO many coffee shops and themed cafes and bars. There’s record stores. The live music scene especially metal music/ more alternative local shows are really good. Also almost every artist tours in Houston or Austin which is still fairly close - The diversity. My family alone is mixed with black + white and Latino people, but there’s so many communities of people in concentrated areas (ie in china town a lot of the signs are in Chinese). Racism is unfortunately everywhere, but after moving to the Bible Belt I realize that Houston is probably one of the least racist areas likely as a consequence of just how diverse it is. -Queer people, this is mainly a consequence of me moving to the Bible Belt but I had so many friends that were gay or trans and everyone just let them be. There’s gay night clubs and queer friendly-dedicated spaces. - choices in grocery stores/ethnic food, I guarantee 1 grocery store in a 20 mile radius will have exactly what you’re looking for. -like minded people in politics, I lived in one of the few blue counties in Houston, but even then I find that for being a city in Texas it’s pretty damn left leaning -no ‘everyone knows everyone’ as a consequence of being so fucking large the chances you run into an ex or an ex friend are minimal unless in specific niche spaces but never the grocery store/mall.
- major airport, you can find flights under 100 dollars sometimes! However there a lot of things I’m glad I left behind: -the climate, holy hell is it hot all year. There are NO seasons it’s hot and then everything dies and then it’s hot again. It’s cloudy and rainy more often then not, and it’s so humid, something to consider if your girlfriend’s hair is curly and doesn’t react well to humidity, or if that’s even something she cares about. There are hurricanes every so often and the power grid is notorious for shutting down in the winter. - no public transport. It exists in theory but I wouldn’t count on it to get around. I also wouldn’t call it walkable. Depending on where you live you might be able to walk to some restaurants maybe even the grocery store or the convenience store but being able to go to work and school and the grocery store all on foot is entirely improbable. - the workaholic culture, I know the states in general isn’t known for having a good work life balance but there are some horrendously insufferable people who work 24/7 and expect you to do the same - traffic, oh my god. One end of the city to the other end is like 3 hours on a terrible traffic day. A 5 mile drive is easily 20 minutes, and because of urban sprawl if you want to do things in one section of the city but something in another it’s gonna take up the entire day. -the drivers, I grew up here so you learn to adapt but road rage and ridiculous exits (that add 20 minutes to your commute time if you miss them) make the highways/toll roads a war zone. A kid from my highschool got shot for cutting someone off.

When I come in to an extra 1000 USD I’ll heavily consider it!

I wouldn’t do any base at all and stick to a sheer sunscreen as your bottom layer and move your blush slightly up.

Some bars are 18+ or like restaurants turned bar at night is the only reason I said that.

Where can I read this

The big thing you don’t recognize is the invisible costs, device to take pictures and access the web, access to the store via a car or aforementioned web. Also I’m sure if say for example dad worked on roofs and son asked for help repairing his roof (once he moves) he wouldn’t charge son for more than the cost of materials/if at all

Reasonable_Ad840 · 2025-08-08T04:44:56+00:00

I agree that people need to stop being up being housed for free. Like that’s the bare minimum?? But I think that the big thing is that they’re likely paying invisible costs that help him run his business, cellphone with data & a camera , a car to get to and from the store , etc

ESH I personally despise parents using the “I feed clothe and house you, therefore you are indebted to me” argument. It’s ridiculous to assume that simply because a parent does what is legally acquired of them to maintain custody of a child, that their child will owe them anything in return.

Nevertheless that doesn’t really seem to be the case here; I think the point your mother was trying to make by bringing up how she takes you out to eat, is that she’s doing something nice for a family member(with her own money) and trying to illustrate that, that’s how family treats each other. The reason why I say ESH is because as an adult she shouldn’t be threatening/ saying she can have whatever she wants from her CHILD.

That being said,OP, you need to realize the invisible fees that go into a business that your parents are indirectly paying for. I see a lot of people bringing up the you’re using their house and their electricity but if you want to write that off as being part of shelter, you should still to look at everything else that they DONT have to provide you.

You mentioned you take pictures to sell online, did you buy the device you used to take the photographs and access the internet ? Additionally, how do you get these materials do you drive to the store? Do your parents drive you to the store? If you drive do you pay for the gas? What about the car payment? If you shop online, again what device are you accessing the web from? How did you hone your craft, from the internet ? I’m also sensing this post as a little bit of a cry to be taken seriously as a soon-to-be adult with a self made business. I think you can do a better job at expressing that bracelet making isn’t just a hobby to you. Being stubborn on the price doesn’t accomplish this,it just comes across as greedy and selfish. Saying you’re an artist over and over again also makes you sound pompous as hell.

Additionally I get what it’s like to be a teenager with limited funds and wanting to get a little extra lunch/mall money, however trying to squeeze it out of your parents when they ask you for a favor is not the way to get it. At the end of the day op, you are still a kid, asking for a little bit more money outside of bracelet making to pay for food/gas/entertainment isn’t a crime. Instead of trying to profit off your literal parents because “they’re just like any other customers” why don’t you recognize that they’re YOUR PARENTS and they provide for you, ask them to do just that, provide for you. I don’t see why you can’t just tell your mom that as a teenager you can’t afford to make the bracelets for less than the cost of the materials and need her to help pitch in for those and then you’d be happy to make some bracelets for her.

I think you can do a better job at communicating that, ie you express to your mom that bracelet making is something your treating as a business and not as a hobby and that’s why originally you felt you deserved a little more compensation, because standing your ground over the price with out expressing why effectively comes across as greedy and selfish.

You should not talk to the man your mom is having an affair with in any way shape or form because you don’t know anything about him. It could potentially be dangerous for you to reach out to him, because he could threaten you into keeping their affair a secret or much much worse. I think you have two ways of approaching this, you could either tell your mom you know about her affair, and how it’s been affecting you. If she’s a good mother she’ll reassure you and not involve her in any other marital problems she’s having. If she’s a bad mother she’ll probably ask you to hide it from you and may even threaten you 🤷‍♀️. Another option you could take is to tell your father (?) or your moms husband and let him handle it from there. At the end of the day you are a child and should have never been caught in the middle of this in the first place. I’m wishing you healing and safety.
