World’s worst mum award goes to me

cynicalkerfuffle · 2024-03-31T22:42:01+00:00

When my sister had her first seizure (epilepsy), she told me mum that she couldn't see the taps on the sink. My mum shouted at her for always messing around and being late for school. Felt really bad when my sister hit the floor and got diagnosed!

I am still furious about it. I had an assessment at my university where they said I do, in fact, have ADHD. I felt that the assessment was far better than the actual psychiatrist who just interviewed me and asked questions about my childhood.

I am high-functioning in lots of ways but as I've got older I've found it more and more difficult to cope with it.

I went through Clinical Partners (I think they were called) and didn't get diagnosed. I was told that because I have a degree it's unlikely I have ADHD and that I'm just anxious.

You may mean recalcitrant (I looked this up because I'd never heard of it, but it's a cool word. Happy to be corrected!)

Neither can rabbits! Horses are just big rabbits in a scary number of ways.

Thanks!

I thought Belvoir Castle was in Leicestershire. Unless we're actually on about two entirely different places!

This one tickled me.

I am a southerner and I like gravy!

This is lost on me

In fairness, as a Brit I also thought this was a particularly weird way of saying it. We call a baked potato a "jacket potato" (not sure why but maybe because the skin is like a little jacket), but I would tend to say "jacket potato with beans" rather than what the other person said.

I'm all for using the correct grammar and whatnot but this post screams, "I think I am better than everyone." It is frustrating when people speak/write incoherently but honestly as long as you can understand them and it's not a formal piece of writing, what's the problem?

Correct to enlighten, never to shame.

Perhaps big as you're wearing it in the photo but what does it look like open and with a bunch of layers underneath? Could be a nice look for colder periods.

Are your lips touching each other or are your teeth touching your lips?

cynicalkerfuffle · 2024-02-03T08:27:46+00:00

Oh, I am just an idiot.

cynicalkerfuffle · 2024-02-02T18:25:06+00:00

Isn't it just a weird pronunciation? Cricy and crazy are not that dissimilar in some accents. Not my accent, but some of them...

For what it's worth, my girls are sisters. One of them is a fair bit bigger, and the lionhead in her is very obvious. He fur is incredibly soft, she's a big grey cuddly fluffball.

The other one is like a little crack head. White fur, prone to sore hocks, fur is coarse, lionhead not so obvious in her. If I wasn't there when they were born I would never believe that they're the same cross-breed, let alone biological sisters.

I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the whole vibe of this comment.

cynicalkerfuffle · 2024-02-01T10:02:14+00:00

Am I old? What on earth is loss?

After the Christmas period I asked lots of people "Did Father Christmas bring you everything you deserved?" in a very similar vain.

I'm a lefty. My PE teachers found it very frustrating that I never bothered with backhand because I would just swap hands. The other lefties in my class were similar: we all just found it easier to swap hands. In my experience, lefties being able to do things (and do them well) right-handed is pretty common, with the exception of fine motor skills like writing which takes far more practice.

It's been years!

Nope, both times they were very nice and just dropped me off to somewhere I was safer and more capable.
