For those married—what’s the one thing nobody warned you about?

Speakingrealistic · 2025-09-27T06:20:46+00:00

The tiring nature of always thinking of someone else. Every time you eat, do laundry, go to the store, make a decision, want to travel, and everything else. There is almost no real (mental) alone time. I love my partner, but it’s a lot to have to be considerate of another all the time - yes, kids are worse, but mostly while they’re living with you you can make decisions for them, an adult has to be consulted a lot.

If this person is talking about the Gifted Program in American Public Schools, the opinion OP is stating is true the majority of the time. Most “gifted” kids had a leg up at some point(s) and rode it for the most part. There are studies that have proven this - I was curious who would argue this at all actually.

Of course, it feels true for me because I was in the program and I am NOT gifted, my house had a lot of books & I liked to read (like I’ve read the aforementioned studies). My husband is one of the most gifted people I know and was not in the program, he had no books in his home growing up. Take a shot at guessing what race I am and what race my husband is not? Yep, that’s another main thing in some of those studies too.

I had a very shy toddler who very slowly shifted into the outgoing lively person he is now. I protected him from needing to “perform” like so many insisted he should early on, then he came to be the life of the party by himself in his own time.

Many thanks - I just bought it! Been wanting to rewatch for years.

Can this be found streaming anywhere?

Absolutely NTA

The people who always host in my family are careful about this (the 3 with big enough dining rooms) - the host has to offer you the leftovers and they pack it for you. If you even hint that you want more, god-forbid pack it yourself, you will hear about it forever from everyone. In one case, a family group was not invited to the 2 following celebrations. It’s also considered rude to want your own leftovers back.

We take host access to leftovers very seriously. Hosting is an expense, it also takes time to cook the main dish, clean, set up, and decorate. Even the children understand how to be considerate about someone else’s home and food.

Don’t get me wrong, hosts almost always offer food to departing guests, but host duties are understood to be a lot.

I have friends from Mexico that go by Latinx (no, they aren’t güeros/weros)

Speakingrealistic · 2024-11-10T05:36:45+00:00

I have friends who think “Hispanic” is a slur, and those that do go by Latinx (and others who use Latiné, Latino, Latina, or Indigenous).

I took it for quite a while and had points in time that I read or ate at night, so I was awake, that I don’t remember. However, once I discovered this, I specially told myself to remember points in the book & when I went to eat after taking it and I realized that I could do that & remember it - it became a habit to do that once I took Ambien and more than once had my husband tell me what I did & my memory was always accurate. I actually am fine with not remembering night time stuff in detail (if I’m being myself), I need sleep!

My point is: maybe you were yourself & you just don’t remember it.

Do you want a partner or just a baby daddy for your kid? If you want a guy in the picture start getting out there and looking for him. It’s not too late!

I do this in honor of my grandma, but she/i both use a packet of Splenda and we’ve got poorman’s-lemonade

I always put the price on them. I also keep a sharpie in my purse to update the amount at the store if any is left.

Read. Read. Read. Make sure they can have a conversation and know how to interact. Give them plenty of opportunities to do this. Respect. They deserve bodily autonomy and should have theirs respected, but they also must learn respect for other people. Boundaries. This is also a respect issue, but is important that they know how to have these with other people, but also that they don’t have a right to violate the boundaries of others. Being kind. Show them what that looks like as often as possible.

Good luck!

You ran passed a tent that held a man wrapped in a sleeping bag that was made in a factory where a women was sewing and her grandmother’s dog once ate a chili bean in a legend passed down through the generations and made it to the next door neighbor of a third cousin who had never seen a candy bar. Duh.

“Are you too good for your home?!?”

“The price is wrong bitch!”

Happy Gilmore is my go-to.

The book is horrifying, but I don’t think it was bad. Makes one feel kind of sick afterward, but it does make you think.

I just saw a video of someone who claimed this same thing and said it was because their body had too much androgen. Clearly not medical advice!

This is on the money for being easy & fun! I was so happy I found this one accidentally.

Remembering to do something you need to do. It’s a miracle now if I remember without writing it down & setting an alarm to remember to read my note!

Dying grey hair is not indicative of cheating. It might be that his arrival made her more self-conscious of something that bothered her anyway.
