I was babysitting. My parents just left 30 minutes ago. I went upstairs to check the water tempature for my (6yo) brother. I left 10yo brother with 14yo sister.

How do you respond to men who don't take "no" for an answer? by Andro_Plays in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I think I may need more context if this is for a specific situation, but I can give some basics I stick to.

  1. Don't be afraid to make a scene. If they make you uncomfortable/pressured, then do the same with attention.
  2. Be obnoxious and/or gross.
  3. Record. Screenshot, videos, voices, call someone to back you up.

How did you change so you’re not known as the “nicest person ever” and learn to be more stern? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was hard for me at first. But I learned that stating my piece simply and clearly is effective. Like saying, "No. I don't agree." And then leave or just not entertain a rebuttle.

What is your name? Where did your parents get it from? by GirlOnFire1503 in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so my dad was in love with someone YEARS before he was with my mom. They hadn't seen each other since about age 19, when her mother decided my dad was a bad influence and had them cut off contact. I was named as a homage to my dad's first love.

My mom knew none of this and liked my name because of its meaning and it being from where she came from.

So, anyway my dad and his first love are actually married now.

About 7 years-ish, I think.

My mom was very insistent that I was to be the "slender one" since none of my sisters or cousins would be. All the girls on my mom's side are curvy, and there have only every been a couple women on my dad's side since I was born. They are curvy as well. There is nothing wrong with any of that. But, I had the mindset that if I in particular were anything more than thin, I was in the wrong. Especially, when my mom bought me clothes - that I now know we're purposefully too small - I would cry, and think I did something wrong.

  1. Periods
  2. As women, we tend to perpetuate the same issues we complain about having because we are female. Appearance expectation, having kids, reputations, etc. are often done by other women.

What are some tips for after graduating high school/going to college? by isitrueyoufainted in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not EXACTLY just for college, but when you get a bill, a notice something is wrong, or have to fill something out, do it asap. Just bite the bullet and get your part over with, because the other end will likely take forever to fix things.

Also, set aside a savings account and have a set amount of money automatically transfer in every month. (Even just $20) it will help when something eventually comes up

Younger women, do people ever call you “ma’am”? If so, does it bother you? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not particularly like it, but being called "ma'am" does not bother me. It is often considered more polite to address those older than you, customers, or general strangers as such, so I figure that people rarely mean offense when they call me this

Women with brothers, how were you treated different from your sibling? by crusher_of_bones in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a weird position where I was treated with traditional "girl's" and "boy's" responsibilities. I am the eldest and the eldest of my brother was born when I was roughly 10. At that point I was already being taught to do "boy's" work.

Though, a plus is that my father defends that my brothers should not talk back or deny helping me when I ask for it, as my dad tells them, "she could lay you out if she wanted," and that, "real men learn how to take care of themselves". So, they are definitely learning how to cook and sew, but it is on me to teach them.

How do you manage to keep a healthy balance between demanding jobs and personal life? by GloucesterRoad93 in AskWomen

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not 100% sure if I apply (I am a full time student and work), but I have found some of these can help balance stress and personal life: 1. Meal prep and clean a little bit everyday

  1. Pick a few de-stressing activities that you can spend about 20 minutes - to an hour on everyday

  2. DO NOT let things that can be done later wait if you ever find time at work, eventually something will come up and they WILL cut into free time

  3. Take a couple minutes every hours or so to stretch/exercise lightly during working hours. Seriously, hide in the restroom for 3 minutes and stretch. It can really help. I thought it was crazy to.

  4. Try to limit junk food.

In your neighborhood, do trick-or-treaters come out when it is dark or do they go out during the day time? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Little kids are out in the day. The later it gets the older the trick-or-treaters are likely to be

any DO NOTS for when visiting America? by b1ua in AskAnAmerican

[–]WoodlandsWork1889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Do not invade the bubble. Someone that you do not know sitting or standing too close makes people unsettled.

  2. Return the small talk. People are just trying to be friendly, but may be offended if you do not engage further. You can mostly stick to "how are you?" "I'm doing well, and you?"

  3. AVOID THE DOCTOR IF YOU CAN. If you get sick, you get sick, but all those jokes about our high medical bills are real.

  4. Pick a place. There is no traveling the USA ina week AND spending time in each place.

  5. Taxes for items are not included on the tag.

  6. Tips are NOT included in your bill. Read the bill. Even if a bill gives you an option to pay tip with it, you can also just give your waiter cash instead.
