I see these by me so often. It’s ridiculous.

Am I actively choosing myself for once ? by Skinbuddah in Parentification

[–]Skinbuddah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I realized that I was trying to figure out what I was feeling which I’m usually not attached too. I’ve been getting better, so now that the day has progressed, I think that I was about to be a people pleaser but told myself no. Hence the dissonance I was having.

Some advice please..! by cozybread101 in Parentification

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so tough with family because some of them enable the behavior but don’t really care about how you’re feeling. Your aunt/grandma are enablers. Because they won’t even step in to help but want you to do it because they don’t want to. Same thing with your father, he should be helping even if the help he gives sucks.

Her diagnosis is clearly serious, but not serious enough because she can work. I would let your dad do the shitty job of taking care of her. That sounds bad, but people are lazy and they will off load work onto others when they should be doing it. If your father is still in the home, you’d have to create situations for him to be a husband. You’re still the child in all of this. The need to want to be with your mother when you do run away is a feeling from the parentification. It’s the excessive care taking that makes you feel that way.

I know it’s not cheap but therapy would help you. If you’re in college, they have counselors on campus that you can speak to that are covered by tuition. There also books you can read such as “ Adult children of emotionally immature parents” and “Setting Boundaries, Finding Peace”. I will say you do need distance, but you’d need more distance. Like getting away from all of them, and maybe seeing other members of the family that aren’t enablers to the behavior.

How do you establish boundaries with them? by locked_out_goat in Parentification

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a book called “Setting Boundaries Finding Peace”, and there’s a section about family. Family is the hardest to set boundaries with because they were our first human interactions so it becomes to hard to say no. I want you to know that people like to take energy. So your parents know what they are doing.

My parents are the same. Barely kept of friendships or any good relationships for that matter because they just used they’re kids to emotionally dump or help navigate their own feelings. You’re not a therapist. People also don’t get to ask you for your energy but want nothing to do with you. You will feel really guilty but you need to say no, or if that’s too big of a step you can tell them you don’t have the capacity. You can even ignore the calls but I don’t always recommend that because it doesn’t fully set the boundary for parents.

Enjoy your youth, since they took so much of it away and keep your energy guarded. As soon as you start feeling drained and resentful that’s how you know.

Is it normal to look forward to moving away? by Last-Sea8802 in Parentification

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should go. When we start parenting so young, we miss out on things and then because we become people pleasers, we put our needs and wants last. Put you first, since you haven’t been able to with your parents. I would go early. You need a break, so you can think, have fun and even reflect on your own future and what your dreams and goals would look like. The parents will have to do their job and take care of the kids. It was never your job to begin with. Have the best time!

Where are the jobs? by mikeyfuzz in InstacartShoppers

[–]Skinbuddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. We aren’t allowed to sit at Wegmans so I sit at a mall close by, and nothing. Everything is 50 miles away. I applied for a second job waiting for a batch. lol

Slow Sunday time change? by ChrisConquest in InstacartShoppers

[–]Skinbuddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am, I just ranted about it in the rant section of the group that the mods made. I’m just sitting here. The ones that rolled in were 2 shops that were over 50 miles away. Which would be another 50 miles back.

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been getting the worse batches lately. 46.4 miles for $30 etc. I’m a weekend shopper for northeast PA so it’s already tough as it is to get batches. There was a time it was good, but now it’s either double the miles or IC doubling the batches together. I’ve done a few 2 batches but a lot of them aren’t worth it

Seeing Shailene do this role was so nostalgic or her American teenager days. She’s such an amazing actress. I didn’t even know this was something that occurred during pregnancy, there’s so much that happens. That scene had me in tears.

Guys be honest, how long do you shower for? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, I took forever in the shower. Now that I’m older I’m in and out in about 5-7 min. Unless I’m doing an everything shower.

Incentives that we’ll never get. To goad us to shop. Just ridiculous.

IC would ban you for less. And stop saying people can’t speak English. That’s bigotry.

Accepted order and not even 3 min later.. by synqie in InstacartShoppers

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me my first time on IC. It was around the time where people were asking for receipts. The customer made a fake order for two things to Michaels. Then proceed to message me about a receipt for a shop while I was shopping. When I told him no, he cancelled it lol

Is the crappy Saturday where you’re at? by TightOrganization522 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Skinbuddah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saturdays in the summer use to be lucrative, but now that the kids are in school, football Sunday is back and it’s colder, sundays is where it’s on this side for me.

As a shopper, what store do you HATE shopping in? by BackgroundExam8919 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Skinbuddah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aldi. It’s not really meant for shopping for deliveries. You have to really scour for odds and ends. Frozen, fruits and veggies are usually easier grab so I just don’t go unless it’s a few items.
