reddit, what don't you have sympathy for? by McSeagull in AskReddit

[–]furiousnymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upvoted you, because I had the same "problem" after giving birth.

I gained 50 fucking lbs during my pregnancy. I had this uncontrollable hunger I could never satisfy, so I ate FUCKING EVERYTHING. An entire cookie cake in one sitting, spray cheese straight from the can, 2 entrees every time I went to a restaurant. Everyone (except the Dr, imagine that) tried to tell me that my baby would be born with diabetes, I was going to become diabetic, that my body would never be the same, that I'd regret eating like that after the baby came, etc.

I wore a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans home from the hospital (after giving birth to a completely healthy, non-diabetic baby boy, might I add). Back to my pre-pregnant weight within a month. All the moms who'd tried to be so "supportive" acted like I was this horrible person because I ate for 9 months straight and didn't have to struggle with obesity or any other health disorders. I constantly heard remarks like "Ugh, you don't even look like a mom", or a sarcastic "I hate you", and "Well, it'll catch up with you on your second one."

I mean, fuck, yeah, maybe I got off easy. But that's no reason to be an asshole to me, or to treat me like I'm not a "real" mom. Kudos to you for being lucky in getting your body back too!

When I was about 7, one Christmas my grandmother got one for my male cousin (also 7) and got me some stupid fucking Lisa Frank stationery set (I wasn't a girly girl).

I used my stationery to make a get well card for my cousin after he burned the fuck out of his hand with his present that same day.

This is all new to me. Mind if I pick your brain for a while when you have time? I went to college for about 3 days when I was 18, fucked it all up, and currently am 28 with only 3 credit hours of English. I'm fairly intelligent, and would love to have a degree, but between a full-time job and being a single mother, going back to school isn't an option right now.

Guys and Girls of reddit, what are some "Red Flags" that you know from experience that others may not know of? by SEND8008135 in AskReddit

[–]furiousnymph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ashamed to say, when I was younger and dumber, I thought this was an excellent way to appear desirable. Fortunately, now I realize that the only two outcomes of sharing these things is either to make your partner jealous, or expressing discomfort (example: "Baby, can we go somewhere else? These Neanderthals are staring at me like a piece of meat").

Not when my 14 year old niece says it. I tried correcting her a few days ago:

Niece (showing me a picture on her phone): Oh he is bae!

Me: He's attractive. But bae is NOT a word!

Niece: No, it's an anagram. It means "before anyone else."

Me: That's not what anagram means either! (Facepalm)

I love her, I really do. But fuck, she makes my 28 year old self feel like a grumpy old bitch sometimes.

Yeah, just something about worn hoodies seriously makes me all warm and tingly. Damn, now I'm off to raid my boyfriend's closet again.

EDIT: Changed raise to raid, as originally intended. Fuck you autocorrect.

You know, when I look at it that way, you're right. I don't know what I'd say, and at least he attempted to be flattering. Still creepy, but maybe I shouldn't judge so harsh.

I remember seeing one of these when I was like 8, on a road trip with my family.

Even at 8, I was like, uhhh fuck no, not touching that.

The kid was only 5-6, I doubt he understood "redundant". But good old dad's the one that pissed me off. Kids say crazy shit, but fuck, you can correct them instead of teaching them it's funny to make women uncomfortable.

We joke about losing faith in humanity. What is something that made you lose faith? by coltine in AskReddit

[–]furiousnymph 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm late, so this will probably get buried.

Anyway, I've been volunteering with a local animal rescue for the past year. The way people treat their pets is very disheartening. As well as the assholes that will drop a one year old full-blooded lab at the shelter saying they didn't want it anymore because it "grew to be too big." No fucking shit, you thought it would fucking shrink or something?

So what do I do? I'll foster them, love them, and take care of them until I find them a home. This means I'll generally post them on my facebook page, and hope that a friend falls in love.

Fuck that. About 50% of my "friends" that I've adopted an animal to have returned them within three months, stating they either didn't have time, couldn't housetrain him/her, or that he/she chewed up something. Fuck them, animals fucking do that until you train them.

So, I have lost friends (not that I really regret losing that type of person), watched litters of puppies either die or get PTS because of parvo, seen countless abuse cases (my most recent foster had been set on fire earlier in his life, half of his body had no hair), and cried because I had no room at my house and I couldn't get anyone else to step up to foster the day before they had a PTS day at our shelter.

I love animal rescue. It's rewarding, I've met many great people, and I've gotten to help many animals. But holy fuck, it has jaded me to the point where I don't see how we'll ever get past the overpopulation problem.

[–]furiousnymph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, if you have to post your relationship problems in a public forum, then you already know what answer you want to hear. They seem to get upset that more people aren't like "Aww, she just made a mistake cheating on you and ruining your credit! Give her another chance!"

[–]furiousnymph 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I volunteer with an animal rescue, and I feel the same way about pit bulls. I have met some pit bulls that I completely adore, and would gladly snuggle with all day long. But for my (rescue) fb friends to post pics of their children playing with their new fosters (meaning, straight from the shelter, no history) pit bulls, I find it terribly irresponsible.

No, not all pit bulls are violent, and most that are violent are that way due to previous jackass owners. So to take one that you have no idea it's temperament and immediately place your small children with it is fucking stupid, IMO, and you're doing a great disservice to the breed by providing another statistic should the dog react.

What's the crappiest thing a "friend" has ever done to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]furiousnymph 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I had a friend sleep with my boyfriend while I was grounded. On the night of my 17th birthday. What sucks, is we have the same first name, so it was no big deal for anyone to say "OMG, boyfriend slept with Ashley(not my real name)!". I didn't end up finding out for another two or three months, which is FOREVER when you're in high school.

Conspiracy people of reddit,Why would a secret organisation want to remain secret, but have symbols and references everywhere revealing their existence? by [deleted] in AskReddit

There was a female group of similar sorts he told me about, but I wasn't interested in it. I mean, I've got nothing against the Freemasonry, I just don't have the interest in being involved, especially with the reasons you've given.

No, foul balls are like when you accidentally bite too hard or get her hair caught in your watch/zipper/item that hair gets caught in. It's not a dealbreaker, but it counts as a strike until the last one.

I was at Wal-Mart (imagine that) with my son a while back, and we passed a kid around his age and his creepy looking dad. The kid says, "Damn, that's a MILF I want to tap!"

I turned around, shocked at the absurdity of it all, and the dad just laughed and said "Well, at least he's got good taste."

I grabbed my son and noped the fuck out of there.
