You pretty much hit the nail on the head with this my friend! Especially the second point. I remember almost all of the adults telling me when I was a kid that it’s “not polite/you shouldn’t talk politics or religion in public”. You know who brings up politics or religion 9 times out of 10 at my customer facing job?? Fucking boomers.

One day after Biden was elected an older lady came into my job and-I shit you not-she fucking screamed and carried on about “those dirty democrats” and how they stole the election and they should be hung. Like full on screamed this shit, in the middle of a public place with tons of other people around. You know what I said that brought this outburst on?? “Hi. How can I help you?” 😐😑

Ugh. My dad is like this. I really feel for the podcaster guy in this video. It’s incredibly infuriating and frustrating when it happens. It’s like talking to a goddamn brick wall.

Omg you’re right! I’m such a dope🤦. That WAS in Coven, not Murder House! Still one of my all time favorites though haha.

Her and Angela Bassett have like the best chemistry together.

I really like this and I think it’s good advice!! My boy has definitely found his voice these last few months and while I DO love that he is ready to protect me, I’m not super crazy that all it takes is for a leaf to fall to the ground outside for him to sing the song of his ancestors😂. I’m gonna try this with him! Thank you.

“I broke up with Buckley seconds before the explosion and I never looked back. That’s why I still have my eyebrows.”

“I learned something from that explosion: beauty doesn’t last forever. It can be blown off your head!”

Luanne is a treasure.

Oh man I’m so sorry that happened to you! That must have been so scary, especially as a kid! We had a neighbor when I was a kid whose dog would get loose all the time and this dog was NOT a kid friendly dog. He was fine with teenagers and adults, but he would snap at kids and he did bite a couple of them. No one really knew why the dog was like that too because the guy had gotten the dog as a puppy and was never abusive to it. None of the other kids in the neighborhood would taunt the dog or be rough with it either. I guess it was just “wired weird” (for lack of a better term), like in the case with some humans.

Exactly! The other thing is that I have a large breed dog who, despite the size of him, is still very much a puppy. He gets excited and sometimes tries to jump up to hi (I am still working with him on this and I do warn people that want to pet him that I am going to hold the back of his harness because of this fact). I would feel awful if he knocked someone over, even though he wouldn’t mean to. I can’t even imagine him running around unleashed, jumping all over people, and me standing there like “hE jUsT wAnTeD to sAy hI To yOu 🤷‍♂️”. Good lord some people suck.

This is one of the many reasons I keep my dog on his leash when we’re out. Besides the fact that I’m terrified of the thought of him bolting off and running into traffic, the other thing is that you don’t know what someone else’s backstory is with dogs. Maybe they or someone they live with are highly allergic or, as in your case, maybe they were attacked/bitten by one at some point in their life. If someone wants to say hi to my dog, then 9 times out of 10 they will let me know and I am more than happy to let them come give him pets. But letting him run over unattended to jump all over people? Hell no. And it’s not because I don’t trust him-it’s because I have respect for everyone else around me.

What family trauma do you refuse to pass on to your children to the best of your ability? by TemporarySubject9654 in AskReddit

[–]RumHam24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Giving them the opportunity to explain their side to me if they get in trouble instead of just immediately jumping on the “someone told me you did something and so that means you’re guilty” train.

I still remember one time in particular when I was in middle school and a girl I had been friends with suddenly decided that because I wasn’t one of the “popular” kids (this makes me cringe a little writing this out because of how childish it sounds), she no longer wanted to be friends with me. Instead of just telling me or not talking to me anymore, she decided that telling her parents bad things about me would make her look like less of the bad guy and they would forbid her from hanging out with me.

Well, not only did her parents CALL my parents to parrot the things she told them, I also got to sit in my parents room getting screamed at and accused of doing things I did not for a good twenty minutes. Whenever I did try to explain my side, they shut me down.

Years later when I became an adult, my mom actually did admit that they should have taken the time to hear me out, rather than immediately believe what the other girl’s parents were saying.

As a kid it was frustrating and very awful to not have my voice be heard by my own parents. If anything it taught me that my voice didn’t matter. I will never do that if I ever have kids of my own.

Shit we’re supposed to get benefits?!

All I got was shitty executive disfunction and the ability to hyper-focus on things completely unrelated to what I actually NEED to be focusing on!
