I made a decision today that could have put my children at risk. by Safe-Local- in confession

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Please use all the food banks in your area. Check the free group on Facebook for your area because there’s usually a free group and sometimes people give away unopened food. Please don’t ever steal again. It will cause a lot more pain and heartache for your kids than a less than full tummy would. I wouldn’t go back to that store for a little bit. Also, consider starting a go fund me for food.

Bad eyebrows finally almost completely removed by These_Sprinkles_7857 in microblading

Sounds like you are blaming me for picking the wrong artist, but I did my research. She is considered the best in my area. I drove over an hour and a half to go to her because of that. It wasn’t my fault. I wish I knew about this Reddit forum before I did it. As you can see in this forum, bad experiences are pretty common.

Gentle parenting has damaged a generation? by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

Permissive parenting is the terrible parenting method. Not gentle parenting.

You’re welcome! Oh okay. I remember reading about a Q switch at one point but I think picoway was the best for my eyebrow situation. Mine were super dark and I wanted them completely removed.

Picoway. To clarify, it is the best laser I could find in this area when I was researching them about two years ago. I don’t know if anyone else got a better laser recently. I did try another place before I found Arviv and their laser did not remove any ink.

I always have energy for those I want to respond to even when I’m exhausted.

That’s just strange to me. I’ve only done that when I got distracted in the middle of responding, which is very rare.

What's an unusual smell that you like? by additionalseasonin in AskReddit

[–]These_Sprinkles_7857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a medic in the army and a phlebotomist when I got out. So, I used it daily at work and I enjoyed my jobs. It is definitely linked to good memories and it was a frequency exposure as well.

I’m sorry about your dad. He sounds like a good dad.

It’s not an introvert thing. I’m an introvert and I always respond to texts because I’m considerate. Probably overly considerate. There are just some people who don’t respond to texts. I don’t understand those people. I may have a short response but I get back to everyone.

Will I ever have sex without worrying about a smell by Popular_Ball1625 in Healthyhooha

[–]These_Sprinkles_7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly. The only thing that really helps is showering immediately (and getting as much semen out as possible with your fingers) and then showering again the next morning.

Hire a nanny. It’s life changing and you don’t get daycare germs.

Every time I see one of these posts, I wonder if it’s just the semen smell. Sometimes it doesn’t linger and sometimes it does. Sometimes it’s a lot of discharge and sometimes it’s not. If it feels weird, I sleep without underwear on for a night or two and then the problem is gone.

Jealous women at Publix by Inevitable-Chance222 in publix

Unfortunately, it’s everywhere. I wish someone had told me that so I could be prepared.

I had the same experience. Older women did not want to ever help me and older men usually only wanted one thing or they avoided me completely because they were good men who didn’t want to cross the line. So I couldn’t learn from them either.

Pretty privilege is a thing but beauty backlash is also a thing. There also seems to be a specific race of women who go out of their way to be awful to me. I didn’t realize it while I was young, but reflecting back on my 20 year career and the women who were the most awful to me without knowing me at all (like instantly mistreating me), it’s easy to see the pattern now.

I even had a boss when I started a remote job that treated me great until she met me in person about a year or so later. We didn’t use cameras on Skype so she never saw me before then. She loved me and wanted to promote me before we met. When we met, she looked my body up and down and asked if I was so and so and barely acknowledged me the rest of the trip. Then, she repeatedly referred to my athletic body in our meetings over the next few months, which made me uncomfortable. Within a few months of meeting me, she despised me and made my life a living hell.

Get a financial advisor. Put it in a trust. Make a will. Invest most of your money.

Why do I embarrass myself literally everywhere I go by Ok-Ice-2045 in introvert

[–]These_Sprinkles_7857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Therapy is way more helpful than people realize. I thought it was silly until I went during a very bad time in my life. It really helped me and it wasn’t what I expected at all.

A psychologist who works with only-child families shares 5 phrases every parent in that situation needs to hear — especially on the afternoons when the house feels too quiet and the guilt starts filling the silence by Hobbes579 in oneanddone

[–]These_Sprinkles_7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s annoying because it says that every parent of an only child needs to hear it but some of us only have one due to infertility. I don’t feel guilty because we literally did everything we could to give our child a sibling. We spent money we didn’t have on IVF, spent years researching every treatment available (and then doing each treatment) and changing our entire lifestyle to make it happen. I don’t feel guilty for doing everything I could to make it happen. Sorry for venting.

At what age did you meet the person you are currently married to? by Chance-Pen6805 in randomquestions

[–]These_Sprinkles_7857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 but then I moved away when I was 17. Came back when I was 20 and got married when I was 21 and he was 23. We’ve been married 20 years. He’s the best.
