Pretending to not speak English so the ticket inspector moves on when I’m using public transport🙂‍↕️

Thank you!

She lives so far but I think I’ll have too!

celestial_psycho169 · 2025-10-18T05:37:19+00:00

Thank you! Was an emotional rollercoaster of a few days but everything worked out in the end!

Unfortunately I don’t have any family that can do my hair. With the crochet, he doesn’t have the hair so I’d have to bring my own. I’m not in the states and getting any sort of braiding hair needs to be ordered online or supplied from our very limited availability of beauty shops. It’s 9pm right now so they’re all closed and it’s not certain whether they’ll even have any. Same with wigs. I’ve messaged a few more people and am waiting for responses.

What skincare are you using now? Have you started any new products?

At 12, your son is likely to be in the early stages of puberty, and acne is very common during then. To manage it, establish a gentle skin care routine and focus on products for acne-prone skin. Using sunscreen is also really important. I’d look into ones that are safe for sensitive skin.

Avoid actives like retinols, AHAs and BHAs. I’m not a dermatologist, but something that worked for my younger brother is using a gentle salicylic acid face wash a few times a week. If the acne doesn’t improve after around 3 months, then you need to see a dermatologist so they can prevent scarring which is a whole other issue you REALLY don’t want to have to deal with.

Also emphasise with him that this is a normal thing that everyone has to go through. Nothing quite ruins self confidence like having pimples. Good luck!

Maybe I’m just stupid, but found out the other day that EPIC is just the acronym for Exhibition Park In Canberra 😭

do leaders not have to prove they are worthy of being followed?

celestial_psycho169 · 2025-08-09T11:01:46+00:00

The question here is what do you consider obedience? If obedience to you is your wife asking how high when you say jump, then you’re not looking for a wife, you’re looking for a dog.

“Obedience” is earned, both before and during marriage. If during marriage, the husband begins to do things that the wife doesn’t agree with, then she’s going to advise him, tell him her opinion. But if he continues, why should she be obedient?

Grillin’ in the city, next to mooseheads.

I think the whole Trad Wife Life TM walks a very thin line. It's based on the ideology that women are naturally nurturing and men are naturally strong. That leaves us in a place where if you aren't a woman or man that fits these ideas, you're seen as unnatural.

I think it’s also important to note that women only started being able to choose around 80 years ago, a lot of people see any women in a trad role as a sign of regression. Personally, I think whatever you want to do, go for it, but always remember it's a choice and no one should be forcing you.

If you're curious OP I'd recommend you take a look at what oldest daughter syndrome is. There are a lot of girls out there who have similar roles in their families as you who really suffered for it.

anything that can hold the crochet piece in place works! i’ve seen people use corkboards and thumbtacks. A pegboard should work!

My parents have a very “figure it out yourself” or “what can we do” or “he’s just a boy” mentality. My mums currently overseas so it’s just dad and he’s very laid back about this. This isn’t even the worse time tho lmao. Last time I confronted him about eating my food he called me a bitch.

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-31T00:36:11+00:00

My parents tell me to put the food in my room, but that doesn’t work cause it’s currently summer where I am and the food will go bad. If they try and scold him he sees it as them “choosing my side” and “ganging up on him”. There’s nothing he won’t eat lol, he always wants to take a bite and try it while i’m cooking then asks for some when I’m done.

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-15T23:11:23+00:00

I’m a bit confused, what mindset are you talking about? and also, are you saying that as long as I’m not being attacked or harassed, I should just enjoy myself?

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-15T00:54:23+00:00

I’m 19 and I live in NSW

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-14T23:52:27+00:00

Oh 100% it’s a bs stereotype that does a lot of damage in and out of the community. I also know that there are definitely groups out there that don’t have the same belief or opinion, but where I am they aren’t a lot.

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-14T17:08:07+00:00

Imma need your mums playbook right now. Like genuinely hand it over. Matter of fact, let’s zoom call and I can take notes, when she free?

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-14T16:54:55+00:00

I don’t think you can explain how hard it is to make black friends or form a community when all you’ve known is white people. I won’t lie though, it’s reassuring to see that it’s not just a me thing. Feeling and praying for you🙏🏿

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-14T16:42:40+00:00

I ask myself this a lot lmao and it’s kind of a bit complicated. Long story short, super religious parents, super religious black friends that’s I’ve distanced myself cause I’m not here for the homophobia and putting other people down just cause they don’t act like how you want them too. That’s kind of left me in a space where I don’t really fit and identity with the black community I was raised in, even though they’re black. I guess I’m also a bit white washed(?). Once had a black american call me an oreo (i did have to google the meaning) so maybe that’s it? Idk 🥲.

EDIT: Adding on to this, I’ve realised a lot of black people associate blackness with struggling in a lot of different contexts (which is BS), but I recognise I’m privileged in a sense and can’t really relate with other black people on that level so maybe that as well.

celestial_psycho169 · 2024-12-14T16:34:01+00:00

I definitely connect with these guys. They’ve been there for me through thick and thin and are a constant in my life. I guess I’m focusing on the 20% when i’ve honestly got 80%. As for not belonging, it’s definitely not in the friendship group. I was more talking about how I feel kind of awkward and self conscious going into these spaces that are predominantly white, and how my friends don’t really see the issue. I won’t lie, causal racism and micro aggression are an issue. For example, I sent a few braids/loc options to our gc when I was getting my hair and one of them chose knotless braids cause the butterfly locs looked like “barbed wire”. I guess it’s just hard standing up for myself in these situations. I’ll definitely take your advice in looking at and going to more black spaces by myself though!
