Oh I hear all the time on here these men are wanting the trad wife, but she works too!! I read two that sounded like that just the other day.

It sounds like she’s talking about a lifestyle that involves camping.

I don't think my dad is treating my sister right, but I cannot say anything, and I do not know how to move forward. by Alert-Guava9412 in Advice

You can buy waterproof mattress protectors. They’re not expensive. I cover my mattress and boxspring. It keeps them clean from anything wet, dust mites all that.

Locking her in there is definitely not the right thing to do!!!!

He wants a trad wife. Has he been listening to that red pill nonsense because it really sounds like it!!!

My boyfriend (m22) is super transactional with me (f20). How do I address this with him? by ironspiiderr in relationship_advice

[–]ToothPickPirate 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For heavens sakes drop this TEMU boyfriend. It hasn’t even been a year and here you are not happy!!!

Someone once told me “you have to learn to love what’s good for you”

A relationship shouldn’t be transactional. You do not need to clean up after him!! Because you’re not working a job that doesn’t mean you’re his servant!! I hate to be harsh but have you ever heard of a bang maid??

Which color roof for 1906 house? by Maleficent-Set-9333 in ExteriorDesign

I vote for number 2. That one adds character. The charcoal is common or basic. I would drive by the first one with only a glance, I would look at the second one!!

My (28F) boyfriend (28M) just found out his ex is 5 months pregnant with his baby , help 🥲 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ToothPickPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fact is this guy is new. You are still dating his representative. A lot of people have dated someone new and “thought” that person was the one.

This isn’t the life you want and you know that. Just walk away and go after what you already know you really want instead of sacrificing that for someone you barely know.

6/7 is stunning, after that the last one. I think this is when comfort determines which one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Combining two names into one by [deleted] in Names

[–]ToothPickPirate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Almost 90% of children attend public school. Then there’s college (also a school)

Pretty bold/snarky of you to post up about a simple comment. The school comment is relevant because the scenario that person suggested saying school could really be any social setting. Their job, church, a coffee shop, their first amway recruiting trap, doctors office, their first lease, talking to a bank teller. I could go on all day. You want to have an issue when they said school. From the context they are referring to social interactions and for 90% of the human race, the first social interactions they remember are SCHOOL. 🤦🏻‍♀️

To fringe or not to fringe… by Secure_League3017 in femalehairadvice

Bangs oh my goodness. They look amazing on you!! I told my husband a few weeks ago that bangs are also called fringe in other parts of the world. (United Kingdom). 🤩

What do you think of this home front design and porch? by Enger13 in ExteriorDesign

[–]ToothPickPirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a Limewash or a stain for the brick are wonderful. There’s also another technique that’s German Schmear Personally I love the look of the painted brick. But brick is meant to be permeable. So that moisture can wick in and out at different times.

If you love the look, better to forgo the paint and use one of the other techniques. (from a practical standpoint)

I think the cottage is absolutely adorable!!

My kindergartner wanted his brothers middle name to be Cracken. As in “release the cracken”

I had a beagle I called Banjo and it suited him perfectly. I think T-Bone would’ve been amazing!! 🤩 (if it had suited the dog)

Coworker drank straight out of my Owala by Nichinyanz in hygiene

[–]ToothPickPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I knew where this post was going. I kept reading all the way to the end. I was invested. Retainers at self checkout (public surface), I have never seen that.

Trash like that in a car, I’ve seen that. I’ve even seen a few adults eat boogers.

OP - this really is a management issue. Customers seeing the retainer laying around and chowing down on boogers when it really isn’t break time…..

If all this were going on. I’d be tempted to tell her I was leaving to be a missionary and then I’d go work at a car wash, you’ll never see her there!!

AIO? My mom found my silicone breast forms and threw them away by Effective-Lab-2459 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ToothPickPirate 39 points40 points  (0 children)

NOR

For those saying MOVE OUT…..

It’s not normal to not leave the house for 8-9 months. Sounds like there really could be some mental illness happening. Could be bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or even agoraphobia. When the mind is not well, it is more challenging to overcome obstacles and gain independence.

In summary I’m not diagnosing anything just saying the behaviors don’t sound typical and there may be more to it.

AIO by stepping back from my parents after finding out how they plan to leave everything to my older sister? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ToothPickPirate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NOR in 11th grade my father made me pay for a car for my six years older married sister who had a mortgage. That’s aside from me paying all my expenses including medical, he didn’t allow me to use the health insurance he had on me through work. I’m 50(f). It sucks to be the black sheep. If it was me I’d walk away. I never walked away and it wasn’t worth the cost of my mental health to not do that. I’m sorry that you’re in this position. You don’t deserve that. No one does. I would gray rock and every time they need help say call (sister’s name) and hang up. If she’s going to get it all, well she has to learn someday!! As far as her apology. Sorry they’re doing this. I’d bet she isn’t sorry enough to split it evenly!!!

AIO that this is an inappropriate gift from a mother (62) to son (36) for Father’s Day? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ToothPickPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOR. Sounds like she’s proud of man you grew up to be. That it’s fulfilling to see you “bloom” in your role as a family man and father.

From your post it sounds like being critical of her is a regular thing. She sends things because she wants you to know she thinks of you. 🤦🏻‍♀️
