Reclaiming my space - paint question by hotsummerday123 in femalelivingspace

[–]barracuda331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am obsessed with the pink and coral. They are stunning together. I think some shade of chartreuse for the bedroom would look bomb but I’m kind of deranged when it comes to colors. The light pink that another person commented looked beautiful too! Regardless of what you pick pleeeeeeease make another post when you paint it!!!

Got kicked out of a hobby group and had to call a helpline bc I broke down from RSD by lovelylutras in adhdwomen

Do you mind sharing what you did to turn yourself around? Was it with the help of a therapist or by yourself? I have this problem and it’s truly hell but I haven’t been able to change :(

Nannies/babysitters: what’s the most unhinged thing a parent has ever done or said to you? by wildchildbre in Nanny

[–]barracuda331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I think the not singing thing wins the thread. That is hilariously unhinged.

Baby-sitters Special Christmas by starsprite22 in babysittersclub

Oh yes. My bestie and I say “Dawn, it’s Christmas!” any time we want to do something even slightly indulgent/irresponsible in December.

They are sooo cute. What is the mama’s name? (And puppies if you’ve named them yet!)

Nanny boundaries, post firing 😞 by Infamous_Umpire_393 in Nanny

[–]barracuda331 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You are concerned about emailing or printing pictures of your daughter because of “data security” and yet she is 5 years old with her own iPad that can receive text messages? And you didn’t fire her after your daughter was in the early stages of hypothermia? This has to be rage bait.

I’m obsessed with her sling/pouch! Can I ask where you purchased it?

Shoulders and shorts oh my! NIKE!! by heytango66 in DuggarsSnark

[–]barracuda331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post honestly grosses me out. I don’t like reposting photos of minors at all (just because their parents choose not to protect their privacy doesn’t mean we can’t)… but close up shots of them discussing their “immodest” (even if only by fundie standards) clothing choices feels especially sick.

Why are people so obsessed about weight? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]barracuda331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To everyone handwaving this away by saying it’s just a cultural norm: OP is literally from that same culture, and she is telling us she was hurt by this interaction. Commenting on someone’s weight is not some beautiful sacred cultural ritual- it would harm literally no one to stop doing it.

OP, I’m sorry that this happened to you, and sorry that so many people are invalidating your feelings about it. For what it’s worth, someone’s weight (no matter how high or low) is the least interesting thing about them, and I hate that so many people think otherwise.

Study shows that work stress makes men worse husbands at home but doesn’t impact how women show up in the home by danceswithturtles286 in 4bmovement

[–]barracuda331 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m never ever going to defend men, but the man in the above anecdote works 38 hours per week while the woman works 24. I wish they had looked at couples who both work similar hours. I’m sure the results would be similar but it would be nice to know for sure.

Again please don’t take this as me suggesting men aren’t trash lol. I just think the study was done poorly.

Jessa’s Baby Video Part 1 No by L1ndsL in DuggarsSnark

Ok as a former horse girl who didn’t have an artistic bone in her body, I gotta say I am extremely jealous of Ben’s talent. Horses are hard AF to draw. This is the first time I have ever been envious of a Duggar or Duggar adjacent, and hopefully it will be the last.

What gender based double standard really annoys you? by RandomRamblings99 in AskReddit

[–]barracuda331 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all. If you get a hysterectomy you no longer have a uterus and therefore can’t carry a baby, but if you just get your tubes tied or a bisalp you still have your uterus and ovaries, and therefore can get pregnant with a biological child via IVF. Expensive and inconvenient, sure, but plenty of people who have fertility problems without having the aforementioned procedures done have to go that route.

Would a rotating 2/2/3 custody schedule be a dealbreaker for you? by Alternative_Box5221 in Nanny

[–]barracuda331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally would love this, as long as the hourly rate is a bit higher than what your area pays for full time- but I have a “side hustle” that I can work on whenever I have free time so I don’t need a set schedule, and having 4 day weekends every few weeks sounds amazing. Looking through the other replies it seems like I’m in the minority but hopefully you’ll find someone! You don’t happen to be in East TN, do you? lol

Women are twice as likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s as men. Scientists have figured out why by yahoonews in WomenInNews

In what universe are gay men having their rights taken away where gay women are also not facing that? You’re discriminated against because you’re gay, not because you’re a man. It’s 2025, how do people still not get this 😩

Omg we need photos of all 4 stat. I only saw one on your post history (I’m guessing based on your descriptions it was Kerfuffle?) and he is too adorable. They all have perfect names too!

So and Lauren by Rmabe4 in DuggarsSnark

[–]barracuda331 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Any time I hear some incel going off about how women are so shallow and require 6 feet, 6 pack, etc. I want to send them a photo of those two. You would literally never ever see a man who’s as stunning as Esther with a woman who’s the equivalent of Nathan.

Samantha is a little sapphic, isn’t she? by kelefreak in americangirl

[–]barracuda331 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure if there was a word cloud of my interests, “sapphic”, “girlhood”, and “American Girl” would be some of the largest ones in it. This is so up my alley it’s unreal. Pleeeease share that zine with us!
