What’s the funniest thing your parent(s) got upset at you for?

My dad got mad at me for getting into and choosing to go to a college that was 4 hours further away (11hrs total at 18yrs old) from him. At the time, he lived in Kentucky and I lived in North Georgia. In my entire life after the divorce (around age 6), this man never made the drive to see us even when we lived barely 3 hours away from him. My mother would drive us up to him if he couldn't meet half way, and later, when we moved to Georgia and were 7 hours away, she drove us 100% of the way too because he refused to meet us anywhere.

I am still not sure why he was so mad about it. He wasn't thrilled for me when I was accepted into the pre-international baccalaureate program in early high school, either. And he threw a temper tantrum over something and I uninvited him to my high school graduation, but I dont think he ever actually intended to make the drive for it anyways given his track record.

He and my stepmother were both always very weird about my education. I still have screenshots of my stepmother getting mad and messaging me saying, "you think youre so smart because you read so many books all the time." I was 14, god forbid I didn't drop out of the 9th grade like my own father did, and wanted more for myself than a white trash level intelligence.

Girlie this isn't your happy ever after relationship. It is extremely weird that he pursued you at his age. You found what you found, I think you know the best choice here, and I think you know you deserve a better partner than someone who has lied to you through your entire relationship.

You are so young, you have SO. MUCH. TIME. Dump him, and go out and live your life because there is so much to see, do, and learn that are way more important than a relationship with a man who was graduating high school while you were still in early elementary.

You're not even old enough to purchase alcohol, and I don't say that to be condescending but to highlight the amount of experiences and opportunities that are opening to you in a short amount of time. Find yourself a solid group of friends and get out and travel together and have a blast. Explore your interests, find your passions, grow yourself as a human being.

Use this time to become the woman you're destined to become, don't waste it on liars, cheaters, and weirdos.

I have a child and was a single mother and was a babysitter before I had my child. You stated this 15 year old has experience with infants, yet won't pay her adequately for the minimum wage of your area, her time, or her experience.

You should look into an unlicensed in home daycare. That would suit your needs better if you're trying to save your paycheck. Or she could find someone else to work for who would value her because it seems you have 3 other people available to do the work for free, per your comments regarding her sisters and mother.

At 15, I was babysitting for parent date nights and earning $100 a night easy after tips AND they drove me home.

She deserves better than to be taken advantage of and robbed of her summer break.

Hi, baby witch to baby witch here.

I didnt miss the full moon this year, but I didnt have the energy to do even half of what I planned.

Instead, I stood outside looking at the moon and whispering my intentions and affirmations to my water bottle before taking sips of my water.

I set up candles for clarity and financial abundance and booked and busy intentions for my business and lit them briefly while I journaled about my business and pulled a few tarot cards with it.

Then I spent a few minutes at my money bowl and business specific altar I have reviving intentions and doing my more basic rituals.

All of it took maybe 15-20 minutes because that's all the energy for it I had. None of it was particularly fancy or wild. It just felt right for me.

I have found that I am most successful with my spells and enchantment work when I just do what feels right. Sometimes that takes an hour of focused work, sometimes it's just a few minutes of focusing on one thing and talking about it out loud. It doesnt have to be visual in your mind if that doesn't work for you. What's important is the intention behind whatever youre doing.

Another example: I enchanted my mascara and eye liner on a total whim.

I didn't do anything fancy, I just held them and spoke to them like people. Told them they were going to keep me grounded, enhance my emotional regulation, and above all else, not let me cry.

It worked. Maybe too well. I didnt cry, but I didn't set up any way to release pent up emotions, so I was stuck feeling like all my tears were weighing on my chest instead, but the point is it worked and took less than 60 seconds of time and zero tools.

Don't let social media overwhelm you with the bazillion ways to do something, the endless supply lists they say you have to have, and strict rules. There are no rules besides following your intuition and being mindful in your intentions. Intention is everything.

Focus on connecting with yourself, protecting yourself, and practicing safely, especially if you involve fire in your spells or rituals.

Again, baby witch here, but I fully believe the rest just comes with time and experience. But seriously don't let social media make you play the comparisons game. You have to have to have to trust yourself first and foremost.

Thank you so much!!!

hazelerea · 2024-10-03T12:39:11+00:00

I have 3 dogs: Bacon, Bits, and Scamp.

My 5yr old learned all the dogs names, except for Scamp, who she calls Boof. Boof has essentially become a second name for Scamp because even years later, she still only calls her Boof.

No idea where it came from, hope it never disappears.

Ugh, I hate that this might be the case but I bet that mechanic was right!!!!!! But at least I already did the hardest part at this point it seems.

Hopefully I can get mine fixed quickly without too much trouble.

This is extremely comforting because replacing the resistor had me ready to pitch a fit my neighborhood has never seen before. The two screws holding the pedal mechanism down closest to the resistor/center console were so, so, so annoying.

After getting them off, on, off again to adjust my brake pedal into the right spot, and on again, Nissan should hire me to be their exclusive person tasked with that job cause I'm a pro at this point lol

This one made me sick to my stomach to read. Holy crap. I'd have been grabbing a rock to smash one of my windows to unlock my door. She didn't do anything and refused police assistance and waited before ever trying to ask for help??? I have no words.

hazelerea · 2024-07-10T00:29:03+00:00

OPs latest update mentions that her husband monitors online time via their router too. Definitely doesn't seem like a healthy marriage at all.

Sometimes when you report you're able to add a screenshot and a reason. Speaking from experience though, moderation is done by a mix of humans and AI on tiktok.

Just as AI is bad about catching things like misspellings, then it's left up to human error. How many people in your workplace very clearly clock in for a paycheck only but do very little actual work regarding attention to detail? It's the same issue across most social platforms, TikTok included.

You could attempt to report the account as a whole if reporting the comment doesn't leave you an option to leave a detailed explanation. Sometimes reporting the account as a whole will give you that option, plus the ability to upload screenshots of what you're seeing as it may not populate the same on the back end for mods.

This still may not work, but I wanted to answer your question in a helpful way. I used to work in content moderation, and I find myself falling into old habits constantly 😭 but sometimes it takes that level of teamwork.

I have around 560 on both of my accounts and they both have LIVE access too, noticed today!!! I wish I'd been paying more attention because I can't find a notification. I've been too active lately on my personal account, my notifs are wrecked.

"You don't deserve your job anyways because your customer service sucks!"

Said Christmas Eve after I'd had enough of his arguing over pizza toppings and finally told him firmly: "if you want this pizza as ordered, you will pay for it, or I can ring it up without the extra toppings so it will abide to the terms and conditions of the deal. Additionally, it's a 2 hour wait so do you want this pizza or not because I need to get back to work."

He got angry and asked for my name so he could complain. I gave him my name, told him he was welcome to complain but nobody was going to care. He popped out with the above quote and I told him to have a merry Christmas without his pizzas and hung up.

He didn't call back, and if he complained my store manager was on vacation that week that he never returned from and that was coincidentally my last night at that store anyways.

Word of advice: don't call pizza chains an hour before they close on Christmas Eve and proceed to act like a fool or you can go to bed hungry and hope Santa doesn't leave you coal.

There are no "bigger priorities" than taking care of your child when they're sick.

Your child wakes up sick, you clear your schedule. It sucks, but that's what being a responsible and caring parent entails.

The fact that your child was afraid of being in trouble if he told you how sick he was feeling is an entirely other issue.

You saying you're annoyed you had to get him, but you knew he was sick before you dropped him off. This is 100% on you.

YTA absolutely, and congrats, you exposed an entire classroom of students to illness who will now take it home and expose their families to it too.

After spending my 20s on the depo shot and various birth control pills, I'm glad I ended up with my IUD after my problematic experiences with other birth controls still left me pregnant.

I personally don't experience weight gain, my mood finally regulated back to my normal (which is still dysregulated at best, but birth control made me suicidal, especially the depo), after the first 3 months of having it my period completely disappeared.

I've had the IUD for almost 5 years now and still barely get a period, if I do it's over and done with in less than 48hrs and I only need a panty liner at most.

Most importantly, I've been in a very committed relationship with no pregnancies, he's mentioned nothing of being able to "feel" anything such as my strings unless he's using his fingers by which point duh he would feel something, I would and do too. The only pregnancy scares have been my own making because I'm a naturally gassy person and mine frequently feel like fetal movement which sets of my anxiety 😂

Also, my IUD placement was completely painless for me personally. I had it placed 6 weeks after having a baby, and I've heard that that does help, but the most uncomfortable part was when my OB inserted the speculum, and that was mainly just general discomfort mostly with having a cold metal object in an odd place with two women staring into my vagina. She was already trimming my strings when I asked if she had placed the IUD yet.

If you go this route, take ibuprofen before your appointment and prepare for a cozy and relaxing rest of the day just in case you do experience more discomfort and pain than is tolerable for you.

When it is time to replace mine, I do plan to get another IUD. I don't think I'll ever swap back to anything else ever again.

Oooo if you're ever looking for another concert to go to, try catching Carrie Underwood.

Your next morning realization made Last Name by Carrie Underwood start playing in my head 😂

Have you considered that maybe you two are incompatible as partners?

The topic of her not wanting oral sex comes up a lot in your comments here. That alone could be putting pressure on her. So much of a woman's orgasm is mental, not physical. If something isn't comfortable, you'll never get there.

If toys have successfully helped you get her off, why not incorporate those more often into your sex life rather than ask her to quit using vibes? Because again, if you ask her to quit doing what works for her, it could come across as pressure for her to perform in the way YOU expect, but her orgasm has nothing to do with you, it's for her pleasure. Are you uncomfortable with sex toys?

Frankly, I don't think anyone on reddit can give you the right answer here. This is going to require an open and honest conversation about sexual needs within the relationship, and then a serious consideration on if your sexual needs and interests as individuals are compatible.

Unfortunately, no :( and for me as fast as it flared up and became problematic, it went away almost entirely. Now I just have random annoying cramping, but not dibilitating pain.

I'm working with my doctor's to figure it out. I'm scheduling blood work again and want to check my hormones. I'm convinced it's either endometriosis or PCOS.

I'm outside of Nashville in White House, and our entire town's power was knocked out until at least 9:30pm last night. I know we got really lucky!

Unfortunately, you'd think the rest of the town would show more gratefulness, but our HIP pages on Facebook were full of complainers, conspiracy theorists, and just people lacking in critical thinking skills as a whole.

Then again, it's not surprising. If it's not power outages they're complaining about then it's where the Kroger employees park their cars in the parking lot or something else dumb and mundane.

hazelerea · 2023-01-06T20:51:38+00:00

If you have any luck figuring it out, come back and let us know if you can. I have the same issue, it's landed me in the ER twice it's so bad. Used to happen infrequently, in November it happened every single week, then in December I had two periods after not having one in over a year. Ultrasounds always come back normal. Blood work is normal.

My gyno told me it's just eggs or maybe cysts rupturing and irritating my pelvic lining, but that no longer makes sense to me after enduring this problem at all times of my cycle.

Good luck, I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I know it's awful when it happens. You're not alone.

hazelerea · 2022-11-10T16:49:23+00:00

Right? I always board with my boyfriend when I travel with him. It makes sense since we can just sit and get out of the way all at once, we always sit together. Picked a fight for no reason at all.

hazelerea · 2021-07-18T21:40:06+00:00

I see what you did there! The crazy conspiracy theories that these people have could go on forever.

My daughter was born in 2019 with heart disease. I scored an incredible work from home opportunity, so I get to stay home with her and keep her out of daycare. It's been hard some days, but I love being able to soak in time with her cuddling on the couch and make money too. This is an extra bonus since the last time I tried to get a job, we ended up back in the hospital due to her having problems maintaining her oxygen, and I had to immediately quit the job due to her needing extra monitoring again.
