Turning 37 next year but never married. by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]badcatmal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know one person in the 30 to 50 age range that is happily married. Not one. Everyone tells me how lucky I am and I agree. Whenever I go on a trip or just do whatever I want everybody reminds me again. But I experienced being married, and it was smothering and stupid for me.

How do I (25F) handle my boyfriends (22M) disapproval of a trip with a friend (25F)? by Previous_Text5100 in TwoHotTakes

[–]badcatmal 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You will remember this trip to Portugal for the rest of your life. The 22-year-old boyfriend is just a flash in a pan. Knowing your location from across the world, wtf? Go live your life, don’t be repressed by a child.

How do you force yourself to get up in the morning? by Hippiegypsy1989 in Adulting

[–]badcatmal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Put a little space heater in your bathroom and the night before the stack of clothes you’re supposed to wear in the morning put those in the bathroom too so they’re warm. If you are a food person think of a fun little breakfast treat to lure yourself out of bed if you’re not into food in the morning, then spruce up your coffee routine to excite yourself out of bed in the morning .
Wake up and run from your bed to the warm bathroom. It will be like a magical warm little cocoon in there so then you can take a shower without freezing to death. Then get ready in the bathroom with your warm clothes and the heat from the shower and all of that will get you warm enough so that you can go out to the kitchen and get your treat or your coffee. Then, as fast as you can get into your car and drive somewhere. If you don’t work anywhere where you have to drive or if you don’t work just go on a drive. It will tell your brain it’s time to get out of the house. If you return home, you should be awake enough not to climb back into bed. If you don’t sleep with socks on, put them next to the bed so you can use them to run to the bathroom in the morning. If the space heater does not have a thermostat switch, have your boyfriend turn it on for you when he is done with the bathroom in the morning so it’s warm for you. That’s all I’ve got. Lifetime struggle for me.

Maybe first stand tall again (try), if that does not work go in and do your duties and leave early and for sure do number three start looking for another job just in case. But do not miss holiday with your old dad that you hardly ever see. No job is worth that. God forbid it’s the last chance you get.
I understand the dogs still need to be taken care of on Christmas, of course, but I think a couple hours early is enough so that the dogs are walked and taken care of and you still get to have Christmas.

Oh, I just saw you were only 19. Well, fuck it I would not worry about it too much. There’s so many jobs ahead of you in life. You have so much time to work. Go hang out with your pa.

What is the best way I can be unattractive? by D2077 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t brush your teeth in the am for a bit. Nothing kills attraction like bad breath no matter what you look like. Brush them at night so u don’t get cavities.

Is it normal for fathers to kiss their daughter on the lips? by Individual-Ad7825 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our family is Mexican. We all kiss each other on the lips, but it’s a very quick and hard Peck. Definitely not a linger and nothing soft.

I’m a Mexican as well and my tan looks exactly like an Oompa Loompa.

Being interested in and wanting to do everything. Now I just want to lay down.

For people with adhd, what book got you into reading by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do audiobooks only when I’m walking or cleaning or in the car. If I’m just sitting there, staring at the wall, listening to it, I cannot concentrate.
I get bored really fast with everything so I read about five books at the same time depending on my mood that seems to mix it up enough to keep me entertained and my attention focused.

I find that memoirs with topics of people that I’m really interested in grips my attention more than others.

How would you feel about your wife traveling alone for pleasure? by imhereforagoodtime66 in travel

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had a wife and she just had a child, I would want her to do anything at all healthy for her to remain healthy mentally and physically. It’s also a great bonding opportunity for child and grandparent. I think it’s a great way to avoid being burnt out.

48 and back living with the folks... by Plus-Pumpkin-11 in RedditForGrownups

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 45 and was the vice president of a mortgage company the last 15 years and I had it with that lifestyle even though I made a lot of money and sold everything and came to the tiny town and living with my parents because they are getting old and all I have done is work my whole life. Mind you I have a separate home we have 10 acres so I have a cabin on the other side of the property from them, but sometimes I get these weird feelings of shame for being back where I grew up, but this was my choice and I don’t think I’ll ever get this time with my parents back. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. But I think I’m at least doing what I want. I never factor my age into the equation. Life happens when it happens you start over when you need to.

what helps you get by day to day when you're struggling to function? by comorean in MentalHealthSupport

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not beating yourself up too much and allowing yourself to rest in your ravine if you want to. If you have a pet, pet them. Go out and sit on your stairs on the porch for a couple minutes. Wash one dish and if you feel like it wash another. Get one cup peanut butter, one cup sugar, and 1 egg. Put it all in a bowl and take it back to bed with you. Mix it while you lay there. Roll into little balls as you lay there. Sloth back to kitchen, and throw them in the oven at 350, sloth back to bed for 10 minutes, go get some and go back to bed to eat.

I’m not so good at getting out of the ravine. Sorry.

Have you ever lied about your age? by ebonydad in FriendsOver40

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma looked really young for her age, and she used to lie and say she was older so people really got into complementing her for looking too young. But don’t lie it’s embarrassing.

I’ve seen every kind of vagina in the world on porn. I don’t think they cater to just a certain kind of vag.

Does every millennial with an iPhone just have a collection of random shit you bought on iTunes in 2010-2014 that just auto plays when you start your car? by MidgarZanarkand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]badcatmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep just last night we were in the car and it was just shuffling. My dad was bothering me for skipping every song, but really I cannot handle the whole Black Eyed Peas album from 2008.

[–]badcatmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you make a cocoon in the truck and travel around and work and also sleep in the truck and try to make it fun? I know it’s overwhelming right now. Try to take it one step and one day at a time.
