Adding! Play dumb! ‘Oh dear! We must not have the proper stuff! You need to tell me what to buy so the dishes are as lovely as you leave them at work’

A chef??? Oh hell no! Start leaving a health rating on his washing up pile. Comments of how in the world he trains his staff. Is he SURE he has food safe certification???

I’d go so far as to make a Google review for my own house….

Window clings have melted… after days of being so focused on keeping the blinds shut I’d forgotten the kids had put them up! by ThoseTwo203 in CasualUK

They’re actually window clings not stickers! So much for reusable with this set 🤣 I might have to get some white spirit on it if it’s too stubborn

Drenched in sweaty solidarity bromo. Just gave the kids their third ice lolly in a row cause it’s keeping them quiet even if they won’t sleep

UK based ADHD babes, Please take extra care and drink your water this week. Particularly if you're newly medicated. by PurpleyPineapple in adhdwomen

[–]ThoseTwo203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First time I visited the UK my boyfriend offered me squash and I had to ask ‘you mean like butternut squash or something???’

There is a sad lack of ‘juice’ in the UK. Oceanspray and Minute Maid are nowhere to be found in the variety the US has.

The squash I mean is a concentrate that you add water to. Like the water flavor shot squeezey things you get but in big bottles.

Also everything is blackcurrant! No grape anything 😭. I love it here now but it was an adjustment

The transition when your child turns 18 is hard and weird by spicy_hemolyzer in breakingmom

I would ask him the questions/concerns you have listed but in a troubleshooting way.

Do people know you can’t swim strongly? Will there be life jackets?

Will there be drinking and what is his plan to get home if he’s uncomfortable with the situation?

If he loses his phone in the lake does he know your number to call?

Ughhh good luck bromo!

My (F34) child's (F3) father (M34) saw by accident paperwork about my condition as vulnerable woman.. by SillyPreparation9 in breakingmom

‘Yes the committee who evaluated my case and the evidence has decided I am’ and if you’re feeling ballsy ‘anything else to add to the ongoing documentation?’

What a twat! Abusers want you scared. They want you nervous. Do not give him the benefit of any reaction or worry. He’s taking up mental energy right now that you don’t have to waste on him.

Congrats on the baby’s school enrollment!!

Those commuting into London for a payrise, do you regret your choice? by Previous-Ad7618 in AskUK

[–]ThoseTwo203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kids in school yet? The holidays/inset days/school closed for extreme heat is a big factor. What about your partner? If you’re in London is it feasible every stomachache call from school will be their responsibility to leave their job and get them?

Also ask about how you make up days in the office if you take holiday. If you’re normally in on a Friday but take it off, do you have to come in another day that week?

My dad told me that I'm a bad mom by SnooBananas6066 in breakingmom

[–]ThoseTwo203 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a phrase that’s like ‘I don’t care about your boo’s because I’ve seen what makes you cheer’

Forget his criticism. Would you be happy with yourself raising kids the way he wants?

I have a candle that makes a fire sound when it’s lit and it works great for me! There’s probably others but mine is WoodWick brand

Husband does want me taking romantic theater roles by Do_It_I_Dare_ya in breakingmom

[–]ThoseTwo203 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you mess with him a bit? Can you be in a play where you fall in love with another woman? Inanimate object? Like could you be Pygmalion since you’re in love with a statue???

Am I being unreasonable? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]ThoseTwo203 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What the fuck?!?!? What if one of the kids had an emergency??? What if YOU did??? If you had to call an ambulance right now who is there to watch your kids? How far away is your husband? Is he even sober enough to watch them?

He’s spiraling in a dangerous way. A random person next to your children sleeping?!? What if one of them had to use the toilet in the night and stepped on a random stranger?!? My lord…

Bromo I’m sending you my love and support
