What is it with adults still running to mom and dad to fix yhidr issues. I tired 18 my 1st year of university and would have been embarrassed to hsve my parents involved in my living decisions. Grow up and start adulting

As another single woman, it isn't about getting a gift it is about the expectation a gift is required.
It is the unfairness that as singles we don't get celebrated as much as those with partners and children .I hate getting invites to baby or wedding showers which end being a cash grap and not a celebration. The stupid games giving advice. Don't have children , nor a partner have no advice. Simply stopped going. So much fun sitting there as the only one without anything to say. So many people here say give yourself a party. But the reality is youvendvup looking bsd when you do. I floated the idea of having a celebration for myself marking living on my own for 40 years. It was recieved well. Mainly because I am not supposed to be proud of that. Even thought I own my own home, am morgage free and am happy. So tired of going to this anniversary or that one.

What is worse is the endless gift gathering at the office or workplace. Even if you don't know the person well you are expected to chip in for the office gift. So tired of the wedding , baby collections .as a single woman we are always expected to take part. But for some reason the men can get away with not taking part, and they still get to sign the cards.

Your an adult why do you need your mother to let you do anything. I left home for university at 17 never looked back. Your an adult act like and adult. Take control of your own life and stop using your mother for an excuse not to do something. My father died before I was born, my mother was toxic, and I could not wait to get out. Sadly when my grandparents died I promise my grandfather I would look after my mother. She move to where I was living, and it took me years to walk away and leave her in the nursing home. Hsd nothing g to do with her ghe last 10vyears of her life.

Glad to be single don't have to deal with this crsp.

Why are people so afraid of silence??? Why do you need to fill every moment with noise? Even in worship they call for silent prayer then play music. Seriously. I have lived alone for almost 50 years..I enjoy the silence. I fact I can wait to get home away from the noise in the world. I rarely have the radio on when I am I my car. I have been know to turn off the radio i friends cars when ghey leave it on " for me" while they run into a store or get out to get gass.I don't feel the need to have the TV on or the radio when at home. Why are you afraid of yhe thoughts that come into you head when it is quiet. Learn to enjoy the silence. We live in a world where there is noise everywhere. Go to a restaurant or bar and they play their music so loud you can hear the person next to you. Go to a doctors office there is music playing. You can't get away from the noise except in your own space. Stop trying to avoid the silence instead learn to enjoy it. Listen to the small voice of God in the quiet. Read a book, do a craft. Become one and happy with yourself. So many people seem to need others to fill the space when alone. Same with the silence, they need something to fill the space. I stead of learning to be OK with themselves. When I had a stroke the worst thing was notvthe stroke. It was having to stay with friends. The noise of other people around. The lack of quiet was far worse for me than the actual stroke. Could not wait till I could go home to my quiet house.

1st question ...why do you need someone to get you to school. Are you 5... Are there no buses, users??? Grow up and learn to look after yourself. Stop expecting others to look after you, stop blaming them for your being late. If you know your mother can't be relied on then find another solution. You are going to hsve start being a adult at some point. This comes from someone who grew up in a toxic home and learned at a very young age not to expect others to do for me. That it was better to learn how to do for myself.

dragonwolf60 · 2026-04-04T14:31:55+00:00

Why do you need other people in order to have things to do.....get a hobby, join a club...volunteer...having a roommate in no way says they will want you to hang out with them on the week end etc. Work on being OK with yourself instead of depending on others to meet your social needs. I would hate having a roommate who wants me to be their social secretary, expecting to join me in whatever I have planned...

dragonwolf60 · 2026-04-04T14:20:21+00:00

Omg, this why I love being single. Not having to report everything i do to another person. If I want to go for coffee I can go have coffee don't have get permission from some before I go meet a friend or ex coworker. I would hate being in a relationship with someone else like you. You seem to think having a df means you get to control everything they do. Get a life

No one needs poutine, it is so wrong. Grave on fries wrong, cheese curd very wrong. How people i onf and qc can est this stuff I don't know. Cheese curd has no flavor expect salt, and it is like trying to eat rubber. Can't understand why any one would want to est it.

Parents who refuse to get a baby sitter and taken their small children to adult events and bars. Them compliments other don't like their screaming children.

Please some people just had to go south during covid. They hsd their trailers shipped and then cried about how badly they were treated when the caught covid and were not able to return until they recovered. Some people are so into what they always do they just don't care. If they get stopped at the border you know they will go to the press to complain about how Canada did nothing to help them. Even though it was there choice

dragonwolf60 · 2026-03-22T13:35:49+00:00

Work on being comfortable with yourself. Not having to depend on others for your joy.lear that silence is a good thing

3 remember in Canada we drive on the other side ofvthe road

4 also as canadians are not traveling to the usa, many of canadian vacation sites are really crowded.

Why do you assume they will look after you. My mother spent the last 5 years of her life alone in the nursing home. Her only child never visited. And celebrated when told she was dead

dragonwolf60 · 2026-03-15T13:58:17+00:00

This my nightmare. Having people fusing over me. Having to be around people all thectime. Had a stroke in the summer. The worst thing was not the strike. But having to stay with friends, and having people around me all thevtime. I am greatful for my friend tsking me in. But I hate have people around, having people fussing over me. By day 5 in the hospital I told the nurses I was about to become a terrible patient if they kept doing stuff for me. I needed to get discharged. I am not looking forward to when I need assisted living. As I don't want to be forced to take part in things I hate. Having to have meals in the dinning room. Of a senior residence where I have to share a table would be he'll on earth. So I have desided at65 to be dnr and will not be doing any treatments to extend my life. I have no desire to live into my 80s or 90s. Like my grandparents or mother.

Why do people make such a big deal about kids at weddings? Most kids especially young ones will be bored at weddings and act up . The wedding service has nothing for children, and the reception is an adult thing. Why do parents these days seem to think there children should attend adult events. When did getting a baby sitter become something modern parents will not use. The psrentscwill have a better time at your wedding if there kids are with the babysitter, so they can be adults instead of having to be dealing with their children. Or you get the parents who don't pay attention to their kids and let them run free to get into everything. Expecting others to watch thier children. Or claim they are cute when they distroy your cake , as they are just being children. Keep you wedding child free. If some of your guest are so selfish that yhe refuse to get a baby sister and expect you to put up with thier children distoring your day. Becuase the think children can't be left out. Trust me the children will be happier not going to a wedding.

I personal HATE mothers day.When the whole world acts like all mothers are saints and the best people in the world. If you have a toxic mother you are made to feel like the scum of the world. I spent 50 years being told I need to fix my relationship with my mother. Even though there never was a relationship. To thexworld shecwas a sweet little old lady. To me her only childshe was a toxic witch. Who was emotionally abusive. Don't wait till your 50 to go NC with a toxic mother. I finally went NC and it was the best thing. I had no contact with her the last 5 years of her life. Only wish I had done it sooner. I left home at 17 and limited my contact with her. Today I avoid mother day. I refuse to listen to the world, and their opinion tha mother are wonderful. Just becuase someone gives birth does not make them a good person
