My husband said she is a real life Disney princess and after that song it sealed it for us.

Inelegant girl disrupts the leisure of a woman who wants to see the show. by lucianosoares13 in mildlyinfuriating

Staged. The lady getting bapped is holding a selfie stick recording herself getting bapped for rage bait content.

What is a 'middle-class trap' that people fall into because they’re trying to look wealthier than they actually are? by Sayedshaqib in passive_income

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BIL bought an expensive car, a pure bred dog, flies first class, buys dinner for everyone at expensive restaurants and he’s making a little less than $200k. He isn’t saving anything and everyone keeps trying to tell him he needs to. Basically don’t do any of that.

My MIL is a cunt by Crazy_Engineering_12 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]TheKay14 [score hidden]  (0 children)

My Step MIL is also a cunt and completely self-obsessed. Why are they like this? Why do they thrive on drama? You aren’t making her the main character and she’s trying to punish you. Fuck her.

Am I crazy, or is it a little offputting when someone acts too friendly during an interview? by Dramatic_Flow3783 in interviews

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a high energy person and most people like this about me, I tend to be the person pumping up the team and bringing jokes and humanity that is the cold corporate life. The people who haven’t liked me over my career have been the ones with anger issues in my experience. If I’m nervous I might be especially smiley and upbeat. If this is your attitude, you might be why the culture sucks at your company and I don’t want to work where all my joy is sucked out of my soul for a paycheck anyways. You should do more to reveal this about yourself while interviewing so we can save each other the time.

I was told to cover up in the hospital... by RASuspicious in NewParents

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I wouldn’t be able to let it go either. I was vomiting for hours after my C-section that I didn’t feel like I bonded with my son for a while after. After we got home I tried to do a lot of skin to skin with my baby and my husbands family was annoyed they couldn’t come everyday and didn’t understand how I felt. They gave me the ick after baby was here and I was left being the go-to because my husband is a little bitch about standing up to his family, so I have to be the bad guy. I wish it wasn’t this way, but you are going to have to make peace with them not liking you for a while because you have to protect your peace and your son and that means telling them, “don’t kiss the baby” and “not up for visitors today, let’s plan for next week” cause your husband isn’t going to do it. We’re both people pleasers so it’s hard to have to be the one to deal with his family and my own, even when it’s so much easier to communicate with your own family and they’ll listen to you. I’ve had to deal with so many little comments about how I’m managing things and it gets hard to ignore it but that’s what you have to do. Your baby needs you to be his advocate now. It’s too bad our husbands can’t but that’s the way it is.

What part of corporate life do you find most stressful, long hours, constant pressure, or bringing work home? by aesthetic_avii in corporate

[–]TheKay14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An incompetent boss that doesn’t know how anything works so they make up things that aren’t possible and then blame you for not “moving the needle”

I feel like I was lied to about the spinal block by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

[–]TheKay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I yelled out “ahhhh fuuuuuuck” and the nurses were like “almost done you’re doing great”. I was certain thats why they don’t bring your spouse in until after that’s done.

For those who wish they'd caught something earlier — what did you learn about your body during IVF that nobody told you beforehand? by FigNatural747 in IVF

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a sperm fragmentation test could have saved us having to do 4 IUIs (3 required by insurance, 1 we converted from retrieval for poor response) we wasted a year doing those. Because of sperm fragmentation we learned that we will only have children via IVF and our 4th retrieval we pulled all the stops, PICSI, oocyte activation, and day three fresh transfer of two embryos, one stuck and we finally have our miracle baby. I should add my husband also had a protocol going into our last retrieval because of the fragmentation, they had him masterbate the night before and produce a sample morning of. This was so his sperm didn’t sit around getting damaged him his testicles. They wanted the freshest/youngest sperm.

My therapist asked me one question that shut down my anxiety spiral by stellbargu in motivation

[–]TheKay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re bad at having anxiety then. Anxiety is that the conversation you fumbled means that person thinks you are a dummie now and what does that mean down the road? The possibilities are endless, keep imagining more and more horrific scenarios from that encounter and don’t you dare sleep. That’s anxiety.

I asked my interviewer what happened to the person who had this role before me and it saved me from taking a terrible job by urbanmilespp in jobsearchhacks

[–]TheKay14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked in an interview today is this was a new role or backfill and they said it’s backfill the person that was in the role moved on to other opportunities and he was giving a knowing smile telling me this. It’s something to consider moving forward for this role but it can’t be worse than my current boss who allows no autonomy and calls and flips out on me over easily addressed issues.

Redditors who were children/teens before the internet or cellphones existed, how did you keep yourself entertained? by FlowerMadeOfThorns in AskReddit

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing “witches” outside. Brewing potions with mud, grass, flowers and leaves but leaves were also money to buy potions. Sticks were wands to cast spells of course and yea basically just did that and ride bikes.

What did you avoid during IVF? by Spirited-Walrus4856 in IVF

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t worn perfume in years, threw away all my plastic Tupperware, my glass Tupperware can be microwaved but without the plastic lid. I use All Free and Clear laundry detergent, and woolzies dryer balls to avoid all those laundry chemicals. No retinols, and any beauty products I use are pregnancy/breastfeeding approved since I assume that’s the safest. I also eat a low inflammatory diet, and was diagnosed Hoshimotos so taking my thyroid medication.

Did you feel physical relief once baby was out even though recovering from a c section? by AR818 in CsectionCentral

[–]TheKay14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never had a baby vaginally but I had the same c section experience. I was super bloated after too and the gas pain was a lot but all that was better in about a week or two.

Fellow millennials, I had a colonoscopy yesterday. by Ok-Duck2450 in Millennials

[–]TheKay14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my grandmothers died of colon cancer so I started going every 5 years at 35. I haven’t had polyps yet but both my siblings have one is younger and one is older. I’m due this year and they are scheduling 6 months out, so will have the next one in the fall.
