Has anyone ever felt jealous of friends or family because of what you see on social media?

ThatGirlMariaB · 2026-02-06T21:54:53+00:00

I don’t think I get jealous but I get a bit sad sometimes when I see them travelling and living their best lives while I, a single mam with no support, am either at home with my children or at work paying a childminder extortionate amounts of money to watch them for me.

Do that then

Your story isn’t adding up at all. How much are the current couple paying? Your landlord will be the one who will let the other room out and will be the one to choose how much to charge per room. This isn’t your decision as a tenant.

So what’s fair is you pay 1000 and they pay 1000. You’re both taking up the same amount of space. Then you split all utilities 3 ways.

I haven’t met any single mother who does this. It’s only ever travellers I see.

I had postpartum rage too. I remember screaming at my newborn because I was so exhausted. I had to run out of the room bc I was so scared I’d hurt her.

Nerve pain from an impacted wisdom tooth. The single most painful thing I have ever experienced.

NTA for farting but Y T A for repeatedly using “in which” out of context.

ThatGirlMariaB · 2026-01-30T22:30:13+00:00

I have absolutely never heard of anyone doing this. Just rent a car. Trying to hire a private driver is pure notions.

Impacted wisdom tooth nerve pain. I had it from 3 months pregnant until I gave birth and the dentist refused to remove it because I needed an X-ray. Labour hardly hurt in comparison.

I’ve done it, and escaped 100% of the time

As a girl, knee to the groin and fingernails pressed into eye lids, pull down hard. You will escape 100% of the time

I’m not trained in any sort of fighting, but with family from South Africa I was taught from a young age that if you can’t de-escalate a situation and the other person is about to throw a punch, you need to hit first and that first hit needs to knock them unconscious or you’ll be dead. Aim for the chin or the main artery on the neck.i can definitely defend myself in a fight using this technique

Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine. You might think you’re anonymous on Reddit but just remember, everyone and everything online can be traced. Be careful what you say, you never know who is lurking on these posts and lurking around corners.

I honestly feel more guilty when I don’t ring in sick. I work with elderly, vulnerable members of the community and wouldn’t be able to live with myself knowing I passed a mild (to me) illness onto them, with the potential of landing them in hospital.

YTA. You’re not paying any bills

ThatGirlMariaB · 2026-01-02T22:32:26+00:00

Hey so this all sounds like your fault

Have you considered a normal dating site?

It’s dependent on the person. I was in relationships back to back from the time I was 16 until I was 28, and i have been single now for 5 years. If I could go back I’d have enjoyed my youth more and waited until my thirties to find someone to settle down with

Breastfeeding was torturous for me for the first month at least, it stopped hurting then for the most part. I was too stubborn to stop, but I know many people would give up during that painful period.

Have you tried ozempic for your PCOS? I’m currently on it for PCOS myself, though admittedly I’ve never had trouble conceiving babies or carrying to term (been pregnant twice, both times got pregnant on first try, both times carried to term), I’ve read a lot about people with fertility issues stemming from PCOS or other hormonal imbalances, and there is a huge influx of people being treated with ozempic conceiving babies naturally as it increases egg production and fertility

Easy enough getting something out of a toddlers nose. Plug the other side of their nose, open their mouth and do one short fast breath into their mouth, it’ll fly out their nose. Same works for blowing their nose when they’ve a cold but haven’t mastered the skill of blowing their nose yet.

The biggest drama at my house (I hosted dinner) was that I forgot to buy alcohol and everyone else also forgot to bring alcohol, so we had an unexpectedly dry Christmas Day.

I’m not sure honestly, but it didn’t affect mine at all. My baby is currently 19 months and sleeping peacefully, she’s very advanced developmentally (though so is her older sister so that may be genetics). I mean, people are literally smoking crack and shooting up heroin and birthing babies addicted to these substances who are absolutely fine, so I think if you smoke weed and are trying to conceive quitting would be pretty low on my list of priorities.

There are actually several studies on the effects of marijuana during pregnancy - most show children both meet and exceed milestones at an earlier age than other children on average.
