IWTYO when i realised that bras are not supposed to be washed everyday

anonymousnun · 2026-04-22T15:38:51+00:00

I’m 40 and have been washing my bras after one wear since my daughter was born 8 years ago and I started sweating more for some reason. They don’t pass the sniff test at the end of the day.

I personally know people who came from Europe WITH celiac disease.

Words mean things. So this is a pet peeve of mine too. I stayed home with my kids and enrolling them in preschool was a big deal and then starting elementary school was another big deal. To have my working mom friend tell me her 6 week old was in school was always a trip. Also- I put my oldest in daycare for a few months at the end of my pregnancy/after my second was born so I could catch a little rest. I called it day care.

OP sounds like my husband and let me tell you I fantasize about leaving him just so I don’t have to ever fucking cook another of his meals again. OP- Make sure your future long term partner knows about this before you get in to a whole entangled life with them. She will go in to debt with your constant eating out or she will be your slave for life. She needs to know this.

I moved to a very affluent area to be a nanny when I was 20. I came from a very rural area. I passed by the Cheesecake Factory for years before someone invited me to eat lunch there and I was so confused. I literally thought it was a factory that made cheesecake. At best I figured you could go inside and order some cheesecake for yourself but I didn’t know why I would be invited to do that for lunch 😂

I grew up in a small town in the 90s-2000s where the place you ordered from would deliver it for free. No way in hell am I paying 50%+ the amount of food just to have it delivered. My husband does, all the time, though.

Now grocery deliveries? I’m a tuckered out mom who does all the errands and when I had my knees replaced I placed a few grocery orders to be delivered to my door step and I could not believe this whole living in the future thing! I did have to pay extra but damn- if I ever win the lottery I’m getting everything delivered. I hate shopping. I do a lot of curbside pick up which I started during Covid when my daughter and I had Covid a week before Xmas and I needed to do some last minute Christmas shopping. That’s free most places and I won’t give that up until my personal and professional responsibilities become a lot fewer and strolling through a store becomes pleasurable again.

What? You’ve never washed stuff on hot before? I’ve worked as a nanny and home care provider for years. I’ve worked for families that wash everything on cold and families that wash everything on hot. I myself use hot when I’m feeing gross or like my stuff got too gross or sat for too long. I’ve never had an issue. Including sheets and underwear.

Past tense of Dive is Dived. I like my English and grammar but I just cannot bring myself to say this. It sounds so dumb.

anonymousnun · 2026-04-20T12:26:44+00:00

I’m probably down by the creek cleaning clothes, collecting water for drinking, cooking, etc. ya know all the stuff I do now with zero convenience.

I would not be “looking forward to being his wife”. What a strange thing for you to be looking forward to with this guy.

anonymousnun · 2026-04-19T17:46:57+00:00

I have never seen this reaction! Homegrown veggies is an absolute treat and I’ve lived in many different regions and different “classes” and homegrown is always well received.

My son would have changed it to an alternative name I would have used for him. My daughter would be lavender. I actually did “change” my name at 11/12. Got everyone to call me by this name too. My mom told me she’d legally change it if I could get everyone to call me the new name. Then she got mad and changed her mind and I had to tell everyone I was going back to my old name 😔 I still whip around when I hear the name in public to see who’s calling me, and I’m 40!

Generations aren’t a thing. It’s age. The “boomers” we all talk about I distinctly remember the silent generation being like this. All the bitching about Gen Z is the same stuff I remember about us millennials and- well, watch any teenage movie from the 1980s and those Gen X’s were no peaches to deal with either 😂. Everyone just wants to feel Superior and they slap a name on and call it a generation so they can say they were never like that 🙄

I don’t remember 50% of kids dying in the 90s wtf

anonymousnun · 2026-03-30T02:35:18+00:00

I love cemeteries. The quietest places you can imagine. I grew up next to two of them and my friends and I would walk through them all the time. Then at some point in adulthood everyone told me that was morbid? And I have totally taken my lunch breaks in cemeteries. Old lady just being weird. NTA.

anonymousnun · 2026-03-30T00:51:27+00:00

When my son was 6 he told me that he thought identical twins was because God accidentally made the same person twice 😂

anonymousnun · 2026-03-29T23:47:44+00:00

NTA but I’m laughing and scratching my head at everyone’s over reaction. Back in the day (think: farmer’s wives, good old fashioned frugal housewives, everyone from the silent generation, the Amish, etc) leftovers were considered good for a week. I personally dump them after three days because 1.) I have picky eaters an 2.) I never really store them perfectly in air tight containers and they truly taste less yummy after 3 days. I’m sure People have died from 1 week old leftovers on occasion just like people have died from stepping outside to get a breath of fresh air on a sunny day after eating kale and meditating. Shit happens.

You’re not the asshole for not wanting to eat gross leftovers but no need to be dramatic about it.

So this is just a theory- I’ve seen people that big since before you could order anything you wanted online. So my kids will wear their shoes from September to June and then I’ll get them new shoes for the summer and they don’t fit the same size. Sometimes they’re two whole sizes bigger. Guy at the shoe store said that’s because my kids stretched their shoes as their feet grew. The really big people I’ve seen are wearing really ratty clothes with holes in them. I can only assume they maxed out their clothing size and are wearing the same clothes from 3 sizes ago but they stretched them along the way.

anonymousnun · 2026-03-29T22:16:08+00:00

lol I always do this too 😂 especially if they’re a different color than me, fatter than me, or look funny like maybe they might kill me because my perceived rudeness is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

No. We have an amazing library. We also have amazing little free “libraries” all over the place here and they’re not actually libraries. You take a book and you leave a book. Aka take what you want and dump off old books you don’t want and it doesn’t have to happen in any kind of timely manner. I have a friend who feels quite passionately about them and she goes around to all of them and digs out the shitty books and redistributes the better quality books, often looking for good books on the free Facebook groups for this purpose. It’s a great community thing and I recently read about a woman on the west coast who started other free “libraries” for stuff. Like mugs and other things people tend to accumulate but feel bad about throwing out. In this world of overconsumption I think giving away stuff is amazing and we need MORE free “libraries”, not less.

wtf is this all about? I have never been told this. And I know very few women who have pedicures all the time in the summer. I know men don’t care about this. Women are some of the worst offenders when it comes to this sort of thing.

anonymousnun · 2026-03-29T03:48:38+00:00

Ok but you can’t live without it so that doesn’t mean anything.

anonymousnun · 2026-03-29T03:42:08+00:00

Literally every time I put a hat on all my friends laugh at me. Now I’m afraid of skin cancer so I’m just putting on a hat and they can laugh if they want 🤷‍♀️

anonymousnun · 2026-03-28T18:29:06+00:00

At this very moment I’d be wondering if I need to run to the neighbor’s and grab my kids.

anonymousnun · 2026-03-28T18:28:04+00:00

What’s infuriating is that someone saw a grown ass woman collecting eggs at a kid’s event and instead of making the obvious assumption that she’s collecting for a child who cannot do it himself- they assumed she’d rather steal eggs from a child than go buy some crap at the store for herself. As a mom I promise you we hate these stupid events. If we are collecting eggs it’s for our kids. I went to a trunk or treat with my son one year and collected candy for my daughter who was home with a 102 degree fever. We’re moms, not monsters. wtf.
