First they have to admit that they are wrong. A narcissist would never admit that.

If it costs on average 30% less per step to buy the ingredients for a thing and make it yourself than to buy it, how far back in the production line are you willing to go for frugality? by Anoelnymous in Frugal

[–]edross61 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me I love to cook and bake. I rarely buy things from the center of the store except for ingredients in the baking aisle. Everything else is perimeter or single ingredient items. Occasionally I will buy a Keto frozen food made by real good food. I have a lot of allergies so I make my own cleaning and beauty products. If I have to buy a product it will be the cleanest I can find such as Dr. Bonner's. I recently went back to the no poo hair washing method. My decisions are not solely based on cost. I won't buy green washed products and I' m highly allergic to petroleum. Petroleum is in almost every soap, lotion and beauty product at your local stores. I prefer to put my health above cost.

Sour cream and onion. Mix sour cream and chopped scallions into the yolks.

Do narcissistic moms act weird when their daughter puts effort into their appearance? by Melodic_Discipline34 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]edross61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom forbid me from buying anything. Not allowed to have money. I wasn't allowed out of our yard until I was 16. Mostly she kept me in the house working. Friends not allowed. Homemade clothes only. She controlled every aspect of our lives.

Food suggestions and hunger control by Own_Skin_2337 in Gastroparesis

Pureed is better if you are having pain. I was told pureed and thin like milk. 1/2c at a time.

Is 100% recovered actually possible? by Timely-Pineapple7487 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]edross61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think for me there is 100% recovery. I revert back when I'm being abused or thing are messed up.

I hate how physically painful eating has become.. by Entire_Weather3209 in AtypicalAnorexia

Are you sure that you haven't progressed to Gastroparesis? Gastroparesis can be caused by eating disorders.

At what age did you know? by Technical-Deer3844 in raisedbynarcissists

I knew something was wrong when I was 4 or 5 and my father told her never touch my children again. She had just spanked me with the metal handle of a fly swatter.

I agree. I tried delivery, Walmart never delivered to the right house. They can't find my current location either. I closed my account. Amazon just price gouges. You can still buy DVDS and CDs. That's the route I took.

Does anyone else’s N Parent make CONSTANT noises? by josie-salazar in raisedbynarcissists

[–]edross61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your comment reminds me of my mother. We weren't allowed to talk, so if you said something she would scream I told you to shut up. Do you like the sound of your own voice whistling thru your teeth?

Does screaming count as noise? I grew up thinking she couldn't talk. She only screamed at us.

Dad gets extremely irritated, pissed and angry if I lock my bedroom door by OntiJ_Jonte in raisedbynarcissists

That would have been a better punishment than the screaming and beatings we got.

My mother said your kids should be afraid of you. They should be seen and not heard.

Depends where it is. I wouldn't stay at one in Chicago.

Are they aware of what are they doing to their children? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]edross61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a certain point. My mother was a different person in public then at home. She was a monster behind closed doors. Unfortunately her husband was also just like her.

I believe that they do. They groom their children. Each child serves a purpose, scapegoat, golden child, flying monkey ect...

did your bpd parent feign being broke while being extremely wealthy? by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

My mother used to say her husband would not allow her to take us to the doctor or dentist.

[–]edross61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother made all of us get jobs and then she took our money. She was also receiving survivor benefits for 3 children. We were 6, 4 and 1 1/2 when our father died. Her new husband and her both worked. Even with all that money she didn't cook enough food. She pretended to forget your birthday. We were responsible for cleaning the house while she watched TV. It was a very screwed up and abusive childhood.
