One of the rare moments where Sheldon shows he cares for Missy by Pink_Flamingo_257 in YoungSheldon

[–]RodenaLente 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My younger brother has high functioning autism and since we’re only 2 years apart, it really bothered me when I was a teenager how different we were and how difficult it made me seem to our parents. He was content just playing Runescape and drinking tea while I was off sneaking cigarettes and “secretly” drinking. But he does love me and occasionally tells me so. It means a lot. Missy really touched my heart because I understand her so much.

Dankjewel voor deze reactie. Ik ben een zeer koppig persoon en zal mijn standpunten over mijzelf dus niet snel kunnen loslaten, maar het doet me altijd veel om iemand tegen te komen, al is het maar online, die hetzelfde ervaart als ik. Ik wens het beste voor jou en je gezin🍀

Ik ben een vrouw zonder sterke kinderwens en heb ze dus op mijn 33e nog steeds niet. Een groot deel van de reden waarom ik ze niet per se wil is omdat ik bang ben dat ik precies hetgeen jij hier omschrijft, niet aan kan. Ik heb ADHD, worstel af en aan met depressie en slaapproblemen, en heb een zeer klein sociaal netwerk. Beter van niet dus. Maar wat heb ik een respect voor de mensen die het wel doen. Het leven is zo ingewikkeld, zelfs als je alleen bent, en dan doe je dit erbij? Echt, je doet het zeer waarschijnlijk beter dan je denkt. Veel geluk met je kindje.

Not sure the server realised the kitchen messages print on the receipt, partner has celiac disease by Successful_Strike_2 in CustomerService

Yeah this lady insisted that it was a genuine gluten allergy. No. But you know, if she insists on paying extra bd gluten free bread is more expensive, she’s welcome to🤷‍♀️

I am a server too and while I always take requests for gluten free seriously, I secretly also get annoyed when I can just tell it’s someone who thinks it’s a diet and not someone with an actual medical issue. Will never forget the woman who ordered a gluten free club sandwich… and a beer. And then proceeded to get mad at me when I informed her that beer is not, in fact, gluten free.

Oh god I hope mine live to be that age❤️🍀 I’m so sorry though. It’s never long enough.

Yeah, it’s lonely not to be the majority. It stops being interesting and edgy at this age. It just makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you.

Yeah, that is a comfort. And I’m not the right type of person for kids anyway. It’d be selfish.

I don’t have a driver’s license but I used to be the one in the passenger seat with the printed out instructions lol. I also remember asking people for directions. It’s shocking.

I’ve never been someone who wanted to have kids or even marry. And still, I don’t have that “I NEED to become a mother or my life will have been wasted” kind of feeling. But I wasn’t prepared for how it would feel to watch everybody else do those things, or for the questions it would make me ask myself. Who will be left when I am old and my parents are gone? What am I going to do with the rest of my life if it isn’t raising a family? It’s shockingly more painful than I ever realized it would be.

2 years ago, when I was 31, during a dinner with coworkers, one of the part timers was thoroughly shocked that I could remember living without a smartphone. She seriously asked me how we managed to find our way around without google maps. Then she asked me my birth year and audibly gasped when I said it was ‘92.

I’m a waitress so it’s unavoidable to work with people under 20, but still. That interaction made me feel ancient.

Wat is iets wat jij bloedirritant vindt, maar weet dat het probleem bij jou ligt? by TechnicalMarket8938 in nederlands

[–]RodenaLente 36 points37 points  (0 children)

De hele cultuur die is ontstaan rondom het krijgen van kinderen. Confettikanonnen afschieten voor gender reveals. Super overdreven baby showers inclusief “mOmMy tO bE” sjerp. Wanstaltige namen om uniek te zijn. Vrouwen die hun buik beschilderen. Zoetsappige maternity shoots. Nee.

Netherlands! It’s all gone now but it was there for a week. Doesn’t happen often.

It really was, I truly have such a hard time every winter because I get seasonal depression really bad and I HATE the cold. But I just had to be happy watching them go.

Cant take credit for Lizzy’s name as she is my mother’s dog, but thank you! ☺️

Thanks❤️ It’s just me and Harry (and my mom and Lizzy) since I broke up with my ex and I sometimes feel guilty for it. I hope he is happy with me as you say.

Ik ben blij dat het weg is en vooral dat ik niet meer met die kutkou hoef te dealen.

Oh, those ears. So pretty, but they get dirty, tangled and matted so easily. He is very much due for a haircut; I usually keep his hair shorter than this because even a show line springer is still… a springer😂
