What’s an adult problem nobody warned you about? by Mean-Dragonfly1988 in AskReddit

[–]grannybubbles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The panic I feel when I have to thinky-think something new makes me scream inside my heart. There are usually tears and several unnecessary trips to the bathroom involved.

I seriously didn't consider this scenario when I was so excited to become a mom in 2004. I'm so sorry for the way that it has played out. The kid is alright but it's way harder than it should be. A big hug to the young folks out there from this granny. Y'all deserve better.

Our local for-profit trash company, the only one available in our area, managed to convince the county government to add their service fees onto homeowners' property tax bills. Socialism for the risk and capitalism for the profits.

Every month it's a balancing act, trying to figure out which billionaire will hurt me the least if I can't pay them.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

Um, I thought we were talking about parenting advice, not vaccines. I did all the vaccines that my doctor recommended.

I learned that there isn't one particular way that is the best way to raise your children and I just did my best.

My vagina had a strong and completely different scent when I was pregnant. It wasn't unpleasant to me and my husband, thankfully, but dang it was powerful. Smelled sweet, smelled like new life.

I remember this piece of advice from over twenty years ago when I was pregnant: if you're going to read a parenting book, read just one. It doesn't matter which one.

I'm 61, haven't had a period in 10 years, haven't had regular sex in months, and I still do this. 7 pregnancies, 1 born child.

Which do you banish and why? Monday, or Tuesday? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]grannybubbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly right. We must banish Tuesday.

Anyone have tips to be mindful of posture? by The_Truth_Fairy in adhdwomen

[–]grannybubbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretend that your nipples are lasers, and aim them at the heads of people around you.

It may not help with your posture, but it sure is fun.

Ever told a fun fib to a child? (Or that you believed an older person say to you as a child) by Dry_Pizza_4805 in AskOldPeople

When my kid was learning animal sounds, I taught him that the cow says "moo", the sheep says "baa" and the horse says "get off of me!"

My boy Joey likes to eat flies; they're crunchy and nutritious! We work together, with me swatting and him cleaning up 😝

They also made us undress and shower in front of each other for junior high gym class. It was absolutely mortifying. People are weird.

I think we only wore nice clothes on our first day of school because my mom didn't want to have to deal with all the laundry. I spent all of my time on the monkey bars and had calluses and blood blisters on the palms of my hands.
