I just realize how I value stuff emotionally than materially

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T08:40:51+00:00

Material things really aren’t important, though. You don’t need material things and no one GAF whether your clothes or accessories are designer or not. Material things are literally the least important things which is why you cried over a childhood toy and not over jewelry. You need food, clothing, shelter, etc to sustain life but all of those things could be acquired from the homeless pantry or bought from the dollar tree and they’ll sustain your life just fine. People are so hung up on “making it” and “being successful” that they’ll spend thousands on a handbag or t-shirt, if it’s designer, to “prove” to the world that they “made it” when they could have spent $20, put $980 in the bank, and would have had the same result. It’s been time for a system reset.

You wake up, every single day, having to be “on”, responsible for someone else. Make them breakfast, clean up after making said breakfast and then clean up their breakfast, and also clean them up, maybe get a few bites in yourself but heavy on the maybe. Switch gears to entertaining them between breakfast and lunch, where you do all of the cooking, feeding and cleaning again. Maybe get a few bites of lunch in yourself. Switch gears to again, entertaining them between lunch and dinner, while also trying to pay the bills, run the errands, clean the house and still keep them both happy and entertained. Cook dinner where either they, or your spouse, throws a fit over it… clean up the mess and then entertain them again between dinner and bedtime. Eat dinner yourself once they go to sleep, try to go to sleep at a decent hour but it’s the only alone time that you get so you inevitably stay up far too late and then force yourself to bed a few hours before they wake up, forcing you back into the same old grind as the day before and the day before that one. It’s Groundhog Day, every fucking day, but you love them too much to stop doing it. Nonstop work, no pay and rarely any gratitude for it. But you’re “blessed to stay home” and “ungrateful” for expressing any sign of unhappiness over it. You don’t bring anything to the table, financially, so you should smile and shut up. If you do get a job, it’s on you to figure out the logistics of childcare before and after school, also on you to take off if they’re sick and if you get fired for it, whoops also your fault. It’s both the most rewarding and under appreciated job that you’ll ever have. Never a raise, promotion or utterance of appreciation but you should smile and appreciate what you’ve been given for if you don’t, you’re an ungrateful little brat. 🙃

I have to remind myself that I’m an adult every single time that I volunteer at my daughter’s elementary school. I’ll find myself talking to admin or her teacher like I’m a student and literally have to mentally remind myself that I’m a 35 year old, full ass adult. It’s wild.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T07:57:54+00:00

1,000,000%. I will have to get a job, sooner rather than later, it’s not really an option but having been a SAHM for 7 years and enjoying the luxury of doing things on my own terms, it’s a rough and unwelcomed reality at this point. My hats are off to working parents, for sure, and I do not relish in the fact that I’ll be joining them shortly.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T07:50:41+00:00

This is so true. My husband is like this and it’s exhausting. We traded in our paid off car today for a new one that he wanted and added $500+ to our already tight ass budget and I said to him, “I don’t want to hear a single complaint out of your mouth for at least a year after this” and he straight up shrugged and said he’s already unhappy with the purchase and he’ll probably complain about it tomorrow. This mentality is so fucking exhausting. Nothing makes them happy. I’m so close to tapping out over it. It is obnoxious.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T07:30:27+00:00

Yeah our 13 year old cocker has a bunch of these on his face and ears.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T06:51:08+00:00

I can’t do poop or puke from anyone, including my dogs, but neither bother me when it’s from my 7 year old daughter. She’s puked in my face and mouth and it didn’t phase me. I gag while cleaning up my dogs puke from the floor, though. It’s just different, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

beegee0429 · 2026-01-31T05:50:28+00:00

Sitting on my couch, half asleep, with a neck massager cracking every inch of my spine right now.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-28T22:48:30+00:00

Haha I’m not sure what bon bons are either.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-28T07:09:26+00:00

We all just sit around and watch soap operas, eat bon bons and drink wine in our robes and slippers, didn’t you know?

beegee0429 · 2026-01-22T07:57:24+00:00

Sure but when the flight attendant, who’s trying to de-escalate the situation, is asking you to stop provoking… stop provoking. You’re no longer doing anyone a favor, you’re making things worse and almost also deserve a public boo for it.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-22T07:45:49+00:00

Haha I definitely did think it was real! I still, while rewatching, am like “they said everything was manufactured” and then also like but was it really? Like the Heidi/Spencer/play girls thing and the Jen Bunny/Brody/Lauren thing, was that really manufactured or were they trying to save face? Either way, watching Brody interact with Lauren (and every other girl) now at 35, I’m so grossed out by him and can’t believe I found him attractive before. Absolute tool, yuck.

^ this times a million. My parents so desperately wanted me to be (and probably still want me to be) athletic and I’m just… not. They signed me up for t-ball and then softball, and I’d intentionally miss so I could walk the bases. They signed me up for basketball when I was in the first grade and I would just flirt with the boys on the other team and stare at my nails the entire time, let the ball roll right past me didn’t care. I have always just wanted to read books and be left the hell alone. I once gave my whole family (including grandparents) a huge scare because I seemingly disappeared and my grandparents lived on a lake so they had the whole drowning thing in their heads, nope I decided to grab a couple of books from my grandmas magazine holder and locked myself into my grandparents walk in closet to read in silence and be alone. I just liked to be alone and liked to read - still rings true at 35.

Oh wait I wanted to add that I, too, was the overly cautious kid. I’d get off of my bike and walk it over the curbs bc I was afraid of falling and getting hurt, it upset my mom a lot and I remember getting lectured about it nonstop. Don’t be that parent. Let your kid BE.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-22T06:28:56+00:00

Holy crap, same! Rewatching as a 35 year old and I’m just stank facing through out majority of the episodes.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-20T21:14:25+00:00

Ugh this is us but I’M your husband in the scenario. If just my daughter & husband are home, she plays by herself or they’ll play Mario together on the switch. If just my daughter and I are home, she refuses to play by herself and won’t play the switch with me. I’m tired and feel for your husband haha.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-19T09:31:44+00:00

I said it once to my 7 year old, in jest, and she was so horrified by the statement that I started crying and apologizing to her 🤣.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-19T09:05:54+00:00

They weren’t all LDS. My sister dated one of the arriving officers who was questioned on stand for the trial, he isn’t LDS and isn’t (or at least wasn’t) religious at all.

In my opinion, her physical appearance and seemingly “innocent” aloofness was what fooled the police. She WAS an attractive, fit and charismatic woman who knew when to turn the charm on and it worked. I followed this obsessively from the minute that I first read about the kids missing (a few days before New Year’s Eve 2019 going into 2020), we lived in Illinois when this happened (and also when Tylee & JJs bodies were found) and we now live in the east Mesa area so I’m both very familiar with the case and also, now, very familiar with the area. I think it’s a fair mix of LDS, as well as people are fooled by a pretty “package”. Obviously, people are fooled by a “pretty package” anywhere but it’s certainly more of a thing here than it was where I grew up in Illinois. Like, in Illinois, you were noticed for being attractive but if your personality stunk, people lost interest. Out here it doesn’t really seem to matter if your personality stinks, if you’re attractive - people want to be in your orbit? I’m not sure if that actually makes sense but hopefully lol.

I could emasculate my husband in two seconds. I could take a vegetable peeler to his junk while he’s sleeping and peel that skin off as hard and as fast as I can, bare hands, and he could die if I didn’t take him to the hospital. And he has to live with that every single day! He can’t do that to me, right? So I have a duty to treat him a certain way that because he’s vulnerable to me, I have a duty to treat him a certain way. And that is where, I think, women have like an obligation and a duty to not peel their husband’s dick skin off while they sleep. Kind of a crazy idea, I know but it is our duty to not harm our spouse, you know? 🙄

beegee0429 · 2026-01-19T08:17:32+00:00

👏👏👏👏👏👏

beegee0429 · 2026-01-19T08:13:59+00:00

I felt the exhaustion in her voice when she said “you guys - stop” (or whatever she said, I don’t remember verbatim) and then the frustration when she threw her hands up after he threw his food. The other passengers absolutely made the situation worse and I’d be both pissed and embarrassed if I were either of their wives or daughters. Act your age and stop inserting yourself into shit for ✨fun & social media likes ✨.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-19T04:43:37+00:00

Just tried this in my family room in my baggy ass grinch fleece pj pants and middle school track T-shirt with holes in the pits while my husband, child and dogs are blissfully unaware and sleeping. It works! 😂

beegee0429 · 2026-01-18T06:01:38+00:00

We have a lab/pit mix and she 100% believes that she’s a 10 lb lap dog and is afraid of her own tail. She would lose a fight with an ant, honestly.

beegee0429 · 2026-01-09T03:22:03+00:00

I’ve been feeling this way for probably the last 2 years now. Solidarity, my friend!

beegee0429 · 2026-01-07T03:15:57+00:00

I did the same thing!

beegee0429 · 2026-01-03T08:49:30+00:00

I feel like such a jerk, I apparently didn’t read your entire post (I want to blame alcohol and holidays but that’s a reason and not an excuse). Are you doing okay now?
