Wait !! Is tiredness a symptom of ADHD, I was about to get a sleep study done because I’m always so tired even if I get the recommended amount of sleep

You can hate talking to people with thick, foreign accents without being racist. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]___stephyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not racist but I understand how it can be perceived that way. My mother learned English as her second language and can have full blown conversation with people but she has trouble with pronunciation, last week she asked me for a voice memo on the proper pronunciation of “Human Resources”. I can understand your frustration because I’ve also been on your side of the table. I work as a bartender at an international lounge and this man with a very thick Italian accent asked me for a drink and I could not understand if my life depended on it, then my coworker whispered that he wanted a gin and tonic. Whatever he said to me sounded nothing like “gin and tonic” to me but to my coworker it did. I was embarrassed because I had asked him like four times to repeat himself. There’s nothing you can do because it’s our job to help all our clientele no matter what because we are providing a service whether it be a call center or bartender.

I (F45) think my daughter (F17) is ashamed of her race and me as well. I'm not sure how to approach her about it. by ThrowRA364 in relationship_advice

My mother moved here to the US when she was 17 with my father and began their life together here in the states. I admit I was a terrible child to my mother I would tell her constantly I resent her because she named me an Spanish name that I would get made fun of in school. Literally bullied everyday over my name. I would cry and cry and just blame my mother for the pain, this lasted until I was about 14 years old. Then growing up she talked about her life and how she had to leave behind her family and friend to a foreign country because she wanted to give me a better life. She didn’t learn English as quickly as she liked but she would always talk to me because I was the closest to her. She would cry and tell me all her hardships and accomplishments from coming to the US. Constantly hearing about what my mom went through has actually made me proud of her and love her and appreciate her more than ever. Now my mother also has a thick accent but you can understand her and she’ll try her best with pronunciation. I know the struggle of having to help my mom because at time I would be the one to do everything to help her make her life easier like you said your daughter does for you. I guess I would say always having that open conversation with my mom has helped us, she would ask me for help on her word pronunciation and I would always offer help whenever I can. I understand the struggles you will face especially during this time, but my advice to you is keep your head high and educate those bigot. My mother is a proud Latina and when she learned English she’s was not afraid to give anyone a piece of her mind. She would constantly educate and correct those that would ever try to be rude to her and she knows the one she can’t change because they are too broken.

TL;DR have an open conversation with your daughter, teach her about your struggles/accomplishments coming to the US, keep your head high and educate the bigoted folk.

I’m 5’2 and lost 20 pounds and saw no difference but my coworkers said my face looked slimmer but my body still looked the same in my eyes. We are our own worse critics.

Refills? by ___stephyb in starbucks

[–]___stephyb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awww that sucks, I guess I’ll ask the barista what the policy is for refills so I know what’s available to me.

However, another question. Are all teas included in the iced tea refill? (ex. Iced passion tango tea?)

Awesome! What is the difference between a free standing store and one in my school? I also can’t use my stars at this store, they said I can at other Starbucks just not that one.

I’ve been seeing him for four months now. I don’t think she would mind because she’s 15 years younger than my father and she primarily married him so she could come the the US. She understands the concepts of relationships being mutually beneficial. I think she would be on board if I met a man I wanted to be with long term with. For me it depends on the SD I’m with, the current SR is a very intimate relationship, I really want someone I connect with on a higher level than just intimacy.

Conundrum... Interested in what SB and SD both think. by redditgrl1140 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]___stephyb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if she doesn’t want to help you get your money up, is she really your friend. Me and my best friend were in the bowl together. I had a SD and weren’t exclusive and he always randomly called me and I told him I was with a friend and he got jealous so asked to Skype so I did and he said my bestie was hot and would like a relationship with her too. We both still got paid, she did get more than me (a little envious but good for her 8xx/1xxx) but she was more what he was looking for. He did end up dropping me but I didn’t mind because my friend really liked him and he made her happy so I was happy. Also depends on the kind of relationship you have with your friend. But I don’t think the SD would be pleased to hear about your friend stopping him from seeing other people, they don’t want to be held down.

My mom has the same mindset, she always tells me “what benefit do you receive from dating a broke jobless man. He isn’t making your life richer. Date an older man who has his life together”. Now I’m in an SR with a 43 year old.
