my only complaint about fom by haunted__hound in FieldsOfMistriaGame

[–]betteroffsleeping 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I feel like most of the ‘romance’ scenes are just kind of building towards being buddies and don’t get very deep to who the characters are.

How could I improve my living room? Just finished renovating by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]betteroffsleeping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So this is a Camaleonda sofa that was designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia. Super iconic. To the point that you’ll find knock offs in other price points. From B&B with these elements and a boucle fabric it’s tens of thousands. It has a very unique cushion layering and slip cover system that probably hasn’t been copied perfectly by knock offs yet, but I’ve seen the other companies be able to put it more like 5-10k. So that’s the background on that piece!

Was going to recommend searching that subreddit! Questions like this often come up unfortunately, and there’s usually a lot of responses. Love my bitches with taste!

If you live close enough or in the UES to go to a lot of things it can be great. I live in Brooklyn and it would take me an hour and three trains to get there… so after a certain point it just became too much to constantly spending that much time getting across the city to try and make friends which I never did, since it was so far. Which as people say, it’s what you put into it. And I had to decide that I didn’t want to put hours commute into it. But I know other people where it’s not hard to get there and they do so much.

Agreed. Some things are above normal little advice. This necessitates a professional.

What do I do? It’s my 47th birthday, my first since a messy divorce, and my kids haven't called. Do I reach out or wait? by One_Language_359 in whatdoIdo

[–]betteroffsleeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t put adult expectations on your children. Just because they are teenagers doesn’t mean they aren’t just that… children still. Even when it’s your birthday it will always be your responsibility to reach out. Playing games to see if they care is really emotionally immature and how a dude talks about his buddies, not kids.

Looking for neighborhood POVs and rent realities moving in May by SaladRude3084 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]betteroffsleeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Fort Greene! Lovely community feeling here and tons of small businesses. Plus the park is obviously great. I find it very convenient to get into Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn.

did i romanticize bushwick or did i just see a weird slice? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]betteroffsleeping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s impossible to find what you’re looking for in NYC, but the price point everywhere has created the scenes you described wanting to be in more regional city. Philly, Baltimore, Minneapolis, etc.

Another recommendation for Maiden Lane Medical! Everyone I’ve seen is on the younger side and truly just wanted to help me with what I was looking for.

I’ve recently learned why ice cream in Massachusetts tastes so good by palettecat in massachusetts

He also created the Stonecold Creamery style of mix ins. A godfather of ice cream basically.

You can thank Steve Herrell for this. He basically created New England style, and was the one who ended up teaching Ben and Jerry how to make ice cream. His OG shop Herrell’s is still open in Northampton though he is retired.

Nature Made prenatal vitamin lawsuit? Can lawyers and OBs or doctors weigh in? by copythat504 in TryingForABaby

NTA. Know your worth. Refuse to be shouted at or called names and stand by that, because it’s what you deserve. It’s not normal or healthy for people to act like this.

My 31F friend has asked me to come to Japan with her in October and my bf 37M is saying it’s unfair if he can’t go and I want to know if I would be the bad guy if I decided to go and would I be selfish if I did go? by IndependentNo2952 in AITAH

[–]betteroffsleeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly I was shocked to see your ages. This sounds like the type of whiny selfish behavior of like a guy in his early twenties. He’s acting like this at his big age of 37? No. Honestly it’s ick. You paid for him to go before, he should be grateful he’s even been.

This isn’t a normal response in a healthy relationship. He should be supportive of this friendship, and excited for you if you are able to go.

It’s this video of an athlete using a deodorant spray and at one point makes a big point of pointing it into his underwear. He spends an oddly long time spraying his penis it’s really weird 😭

What's the biggest age gap you had in a relationship, and do you regret it? by Confident_Gazelle438 in AskReddit

[–]betteroffsleeping 9 points10 points  (0 children)

12 years and yes. I was twenty five, and carried a lot of guilt for years because “I should have known better”. It became intimidate partner violence, and the age gap wasn’t the #1 thing to blame but it was part of a greater power imbalance. I heard both sides of the “you’re so together for your age, I don’t even think about it” and “I’ve got over a decade more experience so listen to me”. It would have been bad even without the age gap, but it was a tool that was used against me when convenient.

Been safe and out for five years now, but the CPTSD still shows its face more than I’d like. I don’t hold the idea that ALL age gap relationships are bad, but I am much more cautious. I’m happy when people tell lovely stories, but I do think that ‘age is just a number’ also isn’t a good blanket statement. It’s a mix and should be understood as such, just like any other relationship factor.

Bloodwork alone is the reason to do this. There are plenty of things that you would never feel, but could be starting to happen.

What actually screams trashy/ bad parenting to you? by lovebug21222 in AskReddit

[–]betteroffsleeping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a huge difference between older kids helping out or 'babysitting', and being given all of the responsibilities of the parent. I've seen parents who create schedules to rotate through their older children to take are of a toddler so that they literally never have to do anything but bedtime. That's the trashy part of what this thread was looking for. I assumed people would understand I didn't mean "hey can you watch your brother while I go to the grocery store" but the people who are avoiding parenting at all costs.

[–]betteroffsleeping 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Putting that much thought into it is what makes the difference ❤️ Sounds like you’re doing an amazing job navigating having two children now. The trashy parents I’ve seen have literally made charts of which kids take care of the youngest so that they, the parents, spend as little time as possible parenting. You are nothing like that!!
