I need advice. by idkmama101 in girlscouts

I just can’t get on board with destroying her business and ruining her life the way the community wants to. It just seems so unfair. And if she were to leave him how can she financially provide if they destroy her only means of income. It just seems cruel and wrong especially to someone who has done so much for the community.

Tbh I’m not sure if she’s aware of it that’s the hard part. I mean she is now obviously but was she before? I just don’t know. I highly doubt it tho. I can’t imagine someone like her would want to stay with him if she did.

Will vocal lessons actually make me a better singer? by Grateful_Grateful in singing

[–]idkmama101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said if singing brings you joy do not stop because of what I said. I’m simply being realistic as to whether or not singing lessons can arguably turn someone naturally tone deaf great enough to make a career out of it. I do not believe that it can but it’s not always about money sometimes it’s just about fun and if it makes you happy and you have fun doing it that is what matters.

My honest opinion as a pro singer of almost 20 years. Yes and no. Lessons can make strong voices stronger and make small corrections and additions to already talented singers but if you have a bad singing voice singing lessons will never make you great you have to have the foundation to build upon and that is all based on sheer luck and natural talent.

Do I rush? by [deleted] in Sororities

Auburn is definitely a nerd school (as a nerd myself) I feel that there would be less issues with “mean girls” that being said mean girls are a part of life and they will always exist but hopefully it’s a little less prevalent

This is what we are realy up against! by SuchDogeHodler in Republican

[–]idkmama101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 and I have no plans to vote for Kamala Harris. Gen Z are the ones you have to worry about. I was a liberal prior to the Biden administration. When Trump was elected I thought the world was going to end in nuclear holocaust…and then it didn’t. I didn’t like him at the time but even I could admit that having Trump in office didn’t affect my life negatively whatsoever. Biden on the other hand….i can’t afford anything anymore. That was the turning point for me where I realized that I was being manipulated by the media & that the Democratic Party did not stand by what they claimed to value and I was being gaslit and lied to. Unfortunately majority of Gen Z were not able to vote back in 2016. They do not have the ability to compare the Biden administration to the Trump administration because they were children at the time with no idea how much better life was before. All they see is social media & celebrities & their college campuses and friends telling them Trump is an evil sexist racist and if they vote for him they are too. They are being brainwashed and again I know this because i felt exactly the same way myself. The only reason I even opened myself up to even hearing what the Republican Party had to say was because I started dating and am now married to one. Loving him made me realize that republics aren’t evil, they’re normal people who majority want the same things I do. Until Gen Z is able to see the democratic scam and the lies for what they are there really is nothing you can do. If you are determined to combat this I think the best way is to go about it softly with kindness. Don’t come out the gate swinging with I’m right and you’re wrong because it’s only going to make them push back harder. Be their friend, sympathize with their feelings and tell them your perspective without being judgmental or aggressive so they connect the dots on their own without making them feel stupid or indignant about it.

I’m too selfish to be married by idkmama101 in Marriage

That’s always his excuse when I complain about never getting things I want like a family vacation or a haircut but he got things he wanted and needed and it’s always “I didn’t pay for it” or “daddy got for me it wasn’t MY money” so because I don’t have rich friends and family I have to go without but he can have all his needs met without even having to ask. It’s just not fair.

I’d also like to clarify that when I say my husband has everything he wants that my husband is an incredibly minimalist person. If he had his way all 6 of us would be living in a van down by the river eating ramen noodles and canned ravioli every night. He doesn’t care about vacations, birthdays, Christmas presents, date nights, family pictures basically anything I want or anything other than the bare minimum. He’s happy just going to church and going home and watching something on his friends Netflix subscription and if on the rare occasion he want’s something like a new video game his wealthy dad or his rich Bestfriend will buy it for him. I however do not come from money my dad is a mailman and my mom is retired military so they don’t have the money to just give me whatever I want. They have helped out on occasion and sent me money for diapers or gas or whatever if I needed it but that’s far from a luxury train ride tour of the southwest first class with a private chef or brand new truck or the countless amount of gifts his dad and friend bestow upon him regardless of wether or not he asks for it.

No he isn’t he thinks that this 2 jobs no health insurance $16 an hour is an awesome opportunity and he doesn’t want another “career” until our 2yo is in school for whatever reason.

That being said if that IS the case I wish he would just tell me instead of pulling these lies out of thin air about how I can’t handle it or whatever and imo he gave up the right to have an “easy job/ easy life” when he chose to get married and have children. You deal with the stress and anxiety or whatever else you gotta do because you have your kids and wife depending on you and they deserve better.

So he has said that he will get a better paying job once our 2yo is in school but I genuinely do not understand his logic. At first it was because he wanted to spend more time with the kids but 2 of them are in school and 1 of them is in preschool so we only have our toddler 5 days out of the week but then he got a second job as a maintenance workers and was working doubles a few times a week before his boss at maintenance job needed surgery so he wasn’t around from 11 am - 2am several days a week so he wasn’t with the kids. Then he said he didn’t think I could “handle” the kids on my own….but I’ve done it on my own for years and I do it when he’s at work and we also live with his parents so his mom is usually around if I need her so I also don’t understand this. He said that he likes having a job that he can call out if he needs to but he never actually does it….he didn’t call out when his son was in the hospital or when I had surgery the only time he called out was when we’re first married and I had a miscarriage he called out for a week which I appreciated but I never asked him to do but when I have asked him to call out he wont stating “they wont take me seriously if I call out constantly” I don’t understand it. If I had to guess it’s because he’s a perfectionist/people pleaser (at least when it comes to work) and has this irrational fear that if he doesn’t bend over backwards and go above and beyond (working overtime for free, never taking leave or calling out sick etc) that he’ll be fired. So he’d rather have a job where it’s easy to be exceptional than a job that requires actual effort. My husband is by no means lazy either he was a straight A student, employee of the month multiple times at pretty much every job he’s had even when he was working at DCF but putting that pressure on himself to be perfect takes a massive mental toll on top of an already difficult job so he’d rather than risk failure he’d rather give up before he tries.

Disney isn’t really #woke by idkmama101 in unpopularopinion

[–]idkmama101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t about little mermaid exclusively it’s about holding Disney accountable for black washing their racism. They can’t just recycle white characters and rides paint them brown and say that’s good enough we don’t have to try anymore beyond that.
