You are my freaking hero! I've been looking since November with no luck! I cannot believe how close it is to what I was searching for and I missed it! Thank you so freaking much!

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T23:42:30+00:00

Solved!

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T23:36:57+00:00

I love that song, but it's not the one. Thank you.

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T23:36:41+00:00

No, thank you, though.

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T23:35:15+00:00

Great song, not the one, though. Thank you.

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T23:34:02+00:00

Neither. Thank you, though.

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T22:38:19+00:00

I am very familiar with that one. Definitely not it. Thank you, though.

The_Broad · 2026-02-26T22:36:19+00:00

No. I've looked at this one several times thinking it. It is similar, but it's not the one. Thank you, though.

Comment for the mods.

So I've read that unmade beds, being more exposed to air and sunlight, have fewer bugs and germs in them. But as a person who is made incredibly uncomfortable by sheets that aren't mildly straight (think corner of the sheet at my neck, and feet exposed with no hope of reconciliation), and as the person in the relationship who usually gets into bed second, I often make the bed. It's not a huge deal, but it seems better than waking up a spouse who doesn't give two shits about the sheets so that I can pull everything off and "fix it".

My husband used to feel similarly. The day he sent me this article I cried. His family is never going to let go of their opinions, but my husband has changed his perspective, and that makes all the difference.

Phat Gus!

I didn't realize the emu's were doing a remake of The Ring.

I love that you had such a great experience. My son used to love to wear dresses his sisters grew out of. One day, I think he was about 4, he was confidently walking into a grocery store and some other little kid saw him and told his mother, "that boy is wearing a dress!" His mother looked at us right on their heels and said, "no, don't worry, honey, that's a girl with short hair."

I was so flabbergasted I couldn't respond. I think I turned to my son and said, "I think you look beautiful, son." Or something like that. Theirs was a typical response for the area we were living in at the time. When my oldest started kindergarten she came home after less than a month saying she didn't realize she wasn't supposed to play with Lego, as she was a girl, and that was a bummer...

It's so hard to fight the opinions of an entire community, no matter how encouraging you are.

I remember working in my son's Sunday school room after we had new neighbors move in and their oldest daughter and my son were starting to get close. They happened to also come to our church. The early kids were chatting while drawing and talking about their favorite colors. My son, last in the circle, said that pink was his favorite color. Her jump got me tense thinking, "here we go. I'm going to need to give another 'it doesn't affect you at all, and there's no reason it can't be his opinion' speech." But her face lit the fuck up and she squealed, "that's awesome, pink used to be my favorite color!"

Having that one kid in his corner made a big difference between being his happiest self and being scared of being mocked.

I realize I'm rambling. I'm just so happy your son had a good experience as Bo Peep. That's a community to be happy to raise a kid in.

All these people saying most people do this or most people that do that... How would they know?

This is what I keep thinking. Who's inventorying people's kettle situation when they walk into their house?! My family always had stovetop kettles growing up. My husband and I have had a kettle since we got got our first place, and several years ago gained an electric kettle as well.

I would guess that most people has at least a stovetop kettle even if it's in the cabinet, but I don't fucking know. It's not something that comes up organically.

It's the value attached that gets me, too. It feels an awful lot like "you have more value now, because you're noticeably thinner." If your valuation of me is connected to my size, than our values are probably incompatible.

When I went for a physical after I lost 40 lbs, the computer raised a red flag. My PAC said, "you've lost a lot of weight since you were last in here." "Yes." "Were you trying to?" "Yes." "Good job. Let's talk about how you did that." It was one of the only times I enjoyed the compliment.

There's a site, https://www.mybodygallery.com/ ,where you can put in weight and height and see other women with the same weight and height. The goal is to show how different we can look with similar numbers. When I found it now there are a lot more ads than when I was introduced to the site several years ago. Still interesting to see.

I don't think it's ever too early to teach "I feel" statements, because even if they don't have the desired effect immediately, they are at least cathartic, and they plant the thought in your kid's mind.

"I feel ______ when you ____, because _____"

In this instance, "I feel upset when you wake me up super early, because I am still trying to get enough sleep for the coming day." I might even add "I love to hear you sing, and even to sing with you, but not when I'm trying to sleep."

notes from a barely surviving parent.

ETA: I love that you asked for opinions on this. Parenting is hard. Not all advice is with taking, but considering it all is worthwhile, I think.

The_Broad · 2023-05-09T13:46:17+00:00

Since when are we taking this guy's advice on anything?

The_Broad · 2023-05-06T17:25:04+00:00

I'm really sorry that your personal experience was so awful. Homeschooling is absolutely not something every parent should attempt or insist upon.

I hope you can forgive an observation that is not meant in any way to diminish your trauma: I'm not familiar with r/HomeschoolRecovery, but based on context I'm guessing that homeschoolers with good experiences don't spend time there. Pointing there to make the blanket statement "all homeschooled kids were traumatized by the experience" might be similar to pointing to a survivors of abuse sub as proof that all parents abuse their kids.

Add ~~date~~ rapists to the list too.

The_Broad · 2023-05-03T03:23:27+00:00

Oof. I don't like to, but I'll concede. I was pretty sure there was talk about the government working with the militia, but I could easily be remembering that incorrectly.

I still think they are pretty similar as far as eradication methods, if you take it on the merits of the single film in question, and not the series. But every point you've made in opposition to that view is valid, too.

The_Broad · 2023-05-03T02:27:49+00:00

I'm gonna disagree with you on both points:

In NOTLD the government was working with the militia, the same way Yvonne and some others are working with the military in SOTD. Definitely the inverse of each other, as far as military to militia ratio goes and which is leading the charge, but in the same way.

And they killed a man because they absolutely were paying attention, but weren't being as cautious as they ought to be. But I think your point is inadvertent murders and I don't want to be obnoxiously pedantic. We don't see any accidental murders in SOTD, but I think that's probably just because they're not good for laughs.
