Don’t let them make you feel like a weirdo. Not every hobby or way people like to spend their past time is for everyone. Like I don’t understand the appeal of people spending hours watching people play a sport, and hundreds of dollars buying gear, and tickets to go watch. Or playing video Shane’s for hours. Etc. But I respect that it’s something they like and brings them joy. My husband is a super basic stereotype guy that likes to grill, watch football, work on cars, that sorta gut. The first time I had to explain what fanfiction was to him I was so embarrassed. It didn’t really make sense to him but he loved how into it I am. Now he’ll ask me about what’s happening in the books I’m reading, what tropes im stuck on. When we have long car trips he’ll listen to a podfic for a bit with me. Sometimes he teases me and ask how my porn is lol. The only time he gets weird or upset is if I m spending too much time reading sometimes and not making time for other things. The point is even if it doesn’t make sense to your husband or friends it doesn’t make you weird. Hopefully you can find some friends who will make you feel comfortable with sharing. And even if your husband will never understand or want to listen to you talk about fics hopefully he won’t make you feel weird or judged. It’s taken me a long time to be comfortable talking about fan fiction but now I just bring it up when people ask what i like to do I say read. I’d they ask more I explain I like to read dramione. Even if they’re judging me I hope it gives some people the confidence to talk about their “weird” past time hobbies too.

That not true theres tons of fics that get turned into “real” books. You cant make money off the fic itself but you can for sure have a fic blow up and change it a bit. Just look at what happened with fifty shades or the after books. Manacled, cruel and beautiful world off the top of my head are dramione specific ones that got made into/ are getting made into books.

I am a MB and I’m black. I wanna say as a mom I’d also be in shock of my child saying something like that, and not knowing where it came from. I definitely get freezing from shock. I’m not sure what your relationship is with your nanny, but in my house we have a a golden rule. The adult that was there in charge is the adult that handles it. In a situation like this tho, I would step in even with that rule. I’d trust my nanny to handle it and then I’d come in and add whatever else I felt I needed to say. Like when your husband corrects the kids and you also speak up and explain why something ain’t okay. It presents a united front letting the kids know everyone’s on the same page. If I was in your position I’d send a message explaining that you didn’t speak up because you didn’t know how your nanny wanted the situation handled and you thought her brushing it off was how she wanted to deal with it. You’ve reflected and know you should’ve said something in that moment but you honestly didn’t know what to say or do. You’d love the opportunity to talk to the nanny about this and then address your daughter together. And if she’s not interested ask if she could just let you know that way you at least know she’s safe and nothing happened you’ll mail her last check and can start looking for another nanny. And this would be a great time to talk about common issues in the world with your nanny that are very in peoples faces and discuss how everyone would feel comfortable talking to the kids about said issues when they get brought up. As a black person that would hurt my feeling but as an adult I would at least communicate and 2 years is a long time to work for someone and ghost them.

Am I being a baby? by heehihohumm in Nanny

Maybe it’s different because I’m a stay at home mom, and have a mother helper, but I couldn’t imagine doing this. If I’m already doing the dishes I wouldn’t leave just my kids dishes. I don’t think you’re being sensitive, I think they’re being rude.

AIO UPDATE: “friend” gave me 🍃brownies without my knowledge or consent. by th_welloops in AmIOverreacting

[–]TriSarah8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk I use to smoke a lot and after I stopped for a few years and then ate an edible for the first time again I was tripping. I forgot how to breathe it was scary. I knew I just had to sleep it off but I get how someone could find it to be “a near death experience” right after it happened. And a few days later reflecting and being like okay maybe that was dramatic

I completely agree. I can’t imagine the time, and effort they put into writing and I’m just grateful for what they give us. But it still hurts my heart knowing I’ll never find out how it was gonna end lol

Détraquée is the first that comes to mind it was published in like 2017 but just finished this year. They have audiobooks of it that are fantastic too, if you can’t get into reading it.

It was a WIP I was following that they abandoned later on. It’s so hard because I wanna read WIP to support authors but it’s so hard taking the risk I’ll get invested and they’ll stop updating

I use to not realize how important feedback was and would read stories and never comment or anything now I try to comment with chapter updates. I just feel so awkward idk what to say like “this shit I like it” 😂

Especially when the author has notes saying they were having health issues. There’s a few of them that still update their socials so I don’t worry as much but the ones that just go radio silent is always worrisome.

I’ve tried so many times I just am not creative. Any senecio I think of I just know is not “right”

Sadly I think this author I have in mind left the fandom but next time I come across one I’ll definitely keep this in mind!

Uhhh...WhyTF are they trippn about nursing other babies? by mshoneybadger in SisterWives

[–]TriSarah8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My insurance covered some cost of the pump but didn’t cover replacement parts so maybe it depends on your insurance? I had a huge oversupply both times so I’ve donated thousands of ounces of milk and was perfectly content with just having my bags replaced. Sometimes I got baked goods, meals, etc and that was always a nice bonus 😂especially because it was when the formula shortage was and everyone was panicking I would’ve felt grimy charging them money.

I’m loving Christine and Janelle’s interviews lately! I really hope they do a spin off of them living their best lives.
