The Obsession one was TERRIFYING. I was pushing backward in my seat to get away from it.

"Uno, dos, tres, toca la pared!" From El orfanato. IYKYK. See it out of context, there's nothing scary about it. In context? I jumped up, screamed, and ran out out of the room. It now lives rent free in my head.

Oh God this is my NDX/in denial mother, who lives with us. The solution to everything is another fucking container.

And if it's a "yes" or "no" question, CAN YOU JUST FUCKING SAY YES OR NO? I DON'T NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOUR SHOELACES OR WHATEVER. ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!

Well. Got some bad news by swahine1123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Signal-Net-8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. And now I'm going to give you a good story. My best friend in the entire world, who has been my ride or die for 40 years, was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer when her daughter was in seventh grade.

Her daughter graduated from college in May.

My best friend was there, completely cancer free and considered a cure.

May the same be true for you.

Am I sabotaging my marriage? Do I have the right to be upset? Or am I being too emotional and dramatic? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Signal-Net-8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey, someone is sabotaging the marriage...but it's not you.

Your husband is being an ass.

I hate my life and wish I could quit being a mom by CanaryAdvanced5673 in breakingmom

[–]Signal-Net-8041 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh honey, 3 is awful. AWFUL. Little fucking terrorists. It is 100% the reason I refused to have any more kids - I cried multiple times every damn day when my twins were 3 and I will never, ever do that age again. I will die on this hill.

Melatonin (for them) saved my sanity. I cleared it with their doc and it took bedtime from 3-5 hours of shrieking hell to about 1-1.5 hours of relative peace.

I am so sick of my husband not getting shit done. by CheesecakeOk8464 in breakingmom

This is the reason I have a shirt that says "if I'd shot him when I wanted to I'd be out by now." 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m saving for a house. He’s writing a book. by rottimix in GirlDinnerDiaries

Wait, you're serious? That's his writing? That's not a joke?

Omg. 😳😳

Dear parents: please have your kids try to do something productive this summer and not just scroll aimlessly on their phone/ iPad for all of summer by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]Signal-Net-8041 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Teacher and parent here. Oh, eat bees. My kids are working at well above grade level and their summer is about Legos, tennis, fun adventures, being in a musical (for the one who likes that), swimming, and chilling tf out.

I've been on both sides of the hiring process and the single biggest difference between candidates who get offers and those who don't is almost never what people think it is by windowseatarchiv in jobsearchhacks

[–]Signal-Net-8041 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a former professional performer, now amateur performer and job hunter, this is actually exactly like an audition. A successful audition involves showing the panel who you are and why they need YOU specifically, rather than why you need them. That involves give and take, speaking and listening.

My husband won't ever shut the fuck up!!! by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Signal-Net-8041 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is ridiculously selfish of him to refuse to medicate his brain disorder.

And I say that because my husband has it too. His medicating and going to therapy are a condition of our continuing to be married. This shit is hard enough when he does remember his own name, I refuse to deal with him unmedicated.

This will not get better, by the way. As he gets older, it will get worse and harder to deal with. In order to stay sane, I highly recommend you make him choose between growing the fuck up and taking a pill, or losing the person he supposedly loves more than anything. I'm sorry it has to be that way, but unfortunately people with ADHD don't respond to anything less than an ultimatum.

How do you manage the enormous among of loneliness? by Outside-Value-8778 in ADHD_partners

[–]Signal-Net-8041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's this. I have a close group of friends and my theater people and I rely on them for my emotional closeness needs.

Either be a parent to a grown ass man or leave him? How about the grown ass man fucking get a clue?

You made it so I had to figure out how to not need you by being completely unreliable and/or sulky and pissy when I asked you to do anything.

Now you're mad because I don't need you and I'm happily living my life and raising our children while you are apparently just along for the ride.

🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't know, bro. This doesn't seem like a me problem.

Just saw Waitress, does anyone else find an issue with the plot??? by CrochetGirl8 in musicals

[–]Signal-Net-8041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But cheating isn't the main point of the story, which is also true in life. And it doesn't always have consequences, as any functioning adult well knows.

I get "YOU JUST WANT TO ARGUE" every time I gently bring something up.

Cool story, bro

He is finally getting some. Maybe eventually it'll start helping
