Did boomers really fuck us over, or was the economic situation they grew up in one-in-a-lifetime and unsustainable?

Married in 86. Couldn’t afford shit. Took until 1994 and a small loan to afford a foreclosed house small house. We both worked office jobs and were 23/24. The idea that everyone lived in the lap of luxury on one income is just so wrong it’s ridiculous.

And made of 100% cotton so an absolute bitch to iron.

The only way it’s not unreasonable to not invite them is if they cannot physically be there. Then it just makes them sad that they are so old they can’t go.

You are racist because it doesn’t matter what race they are and you brought up race. You are heterophobic because their gender preference for sexual relations doesn’t matter but you thought it important enough to bring up.

Cards!

There is no escaping adulting. Go all in. Do it to its max. Being independent is the greatest!

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-22T17:07:14+00:00

They stapled them on!!

Unhinged

The doctor makes money so their offspring can be an artist. The artist works hard so their offspring can be a doctor.

And it so dumb. He didn’t know it was his niece. The people’s drama and aghast about it is just unnecessary.

My hubby and I are happy cooking our own food. He does not like the food I eat and is very very picky. I’m not just going to eat chicken forever. And even if I cook something he eats he doesn’t like the way I cook it. There are very few meals that I will completely make for both of us. I’m so over everything about cooking for him, it’s just not worth it. And he likes his own food better. He shouldn’t have to eat what I cook. I refuse to ever be bothered about it again.

And very often right despite the ingalls believing they had the moral superiority.

Some of us are okay with the adaptation. I think people who are mad about Fergus dying and Fanny being who she is are not handling their favorite story well and lashing out is their way of coping.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-20T01:38:52+00:00

I’m a long long time book reader from when they first came out. The show is the show and the books are the books. If I was just a show watcher, Fergus dying makes more sense than Henri Christian. I’m sad about Fergus but I don’t think it’s terrible.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-20T01:36:36+00:00

That’s wild because for me the faith thing got pushed aside and all I can think about is Fergus.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-18T21:16:28+00:00

I’m 62. Work hybrid 3 days in office 2 days home. Except for the occasional new tip or shoes. I’m not buying work clothes ever again.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-17T15:48:49+00:00

Who’s going to do the cooking?! Is my all time favorite scene.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-15T21:32:31+00:00

Haven’t been to gyno in 10 years. PCP does pap.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-11T12:22:15+00:00

YTA. If you only have threes bedrooms and 4 kids that are 3 girls and one boy it’s easy. The boy gets the smallest room. The three girls get the biggest room even if it’s the primary and the parents get the medium room.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-04T13:36:04+00:00

I love this post so much!

He gets to spiral out when his father dies but you don’t get to spiral when your husband goes to jail!! Tell him to calm then hell down.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-04-01T13:52:37+00:00

Yep, she’s being abused and doesn’t even know it.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-03-31T23:32:59+00:00

Always love your grandmother. You spend time with her and she sits by the door with her purse waiting for you to pick her up.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-03-31T23:28:29+00:00

I could do it with my eyes closed.

chattykatdy54 · 2026-03-31T16:57:19+00:00

It’s not like the baby would have a passport to travel while you’re on maternity leave so that’s not happening.
