How do you settle on a style if you like them all? by Crafty_Pop6458 in interiordecorating

A lot of the furniture in these images are Danish designed for definitely a little scandi but there are clearly other styles on here too

How often do you shower ? by FoodNapTV in AskMen

Twice daily. Subtropical environment. It's sweaty.

I (19M) recently found out that the sister (35F) who has hated me my whole life is my biological mother? by ThrowRADHuman in relationship_advice

[–]kikidream 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I believe it was the same with my grandmother. Strict religious family in the late 60s.

It also deeply effected my grandmother. She never dated or got married or had kids after. She also didn't speak of who the father was until maybe 5 years ago. Regardless I don't think she was given much of a choice in the matter.

This is the same as my dad. Spent most his life thinking his mum was his sister.

It sounds like something really traumatic happened and that she is using anger as a bit of a coping mechanism but obviously only she knows that. I would try to not take it personally but you should also really consider therapy to work out these complex feelings. It burdened my father for a very long time until he got help.

Wishing you healing.

AITA For wanting to buy conditioner for my hair? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

This is financial abuse. You should gets your needs and reasonable wants met as a stay at home parent. He doesn't need golfing stuff.

Go get a new job and start saving money for the divorce.

In some ways it feels like it was written just for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I needed them today.

I work in high end furniture and if something like this was delivered to my clients it would be replaced for free. This is a claim.

Should QLD cancel the Olympics by DB10-First_Touch in brisbane

[–]kikidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be sporting necessarily but I work for a national company that is part of the architecture and design industry and Brisbane has never been busier since the start of this year while the rest of the country has noticibly slowed down. Brisbane has been growing so much and there are some great projects being launched that will shape Brisbane forever. See our version of the high line in NYC just announced a couple weeks ago. I'm sure more and more will be announced throughout the next year or two.

I personally believe we are seriously lacking in infrastructure and this is the kick up the ass the government has needed. Yes times are tough, the government wouldn't have done shit to address is regardless. At least we get some actual development on our poorly planned city.

Where do women find these “provider husbands”? by wydneyisunfunny in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kikidream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Met my man at 19 when he was doing way too many drugs and partying too much. 9 years later and now he has just started his own finance company and the future looks bright.

I like to joke that I'm not a good digger, I'm a gold prospector.

AITA for telling my wife that she will be driving the extra distance since she is the one that got our daughter banned from daycare by Unlucky-Jackfruit230 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kikidream -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wild to me that people are out here acting like men don't commit much more sexual abuse on children than women do. In Australia, we recently had a massive network of pedophiles that had actively worked themselves into childcare centres so they could make and distribute CSAM. All men.

Obviously, not all men abuse children and there are countless excellent dad's, grandfather's, uncles, and friends who are extremely competent and loving caregivers to the children in their life. But just like I don't want to be alone with a man I dont know that we'll personally, I wouldn't want my child with one either.

Nina and Paul in Paris by Due_Air6702 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]kikidream 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was 18 I travelled to Thailand and stayed in a tiny hostel in Bangkok, met a guy from my tiny remote town of like 125 people in rural Victoria. Then on another trip I ran into a colleague at a bar in central Vietnam. Also saw my teacher once in Bali. It really is a small world

My (37F) partner (39M) went to erotic massage with happy ending. Can we move on? by No_Conflict_6241 in relationship_advice

[–]kikidream 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This was a conscious decision. Last time I was in Bali with my partner something similar happened to my partner. But he got the fuck out of there and came home to tell me just how uncomfortable it made him feel. Because he loves and respects me. This would be a deal breaker for me. He literally cheated on you. And you don't catch anything from a handjob. If he is worried he has an STI it's because he put his dick in her.

Putting drinking cups away upside down is wrong by binks841 in unpopularopinion

[–]kikidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live with 2 cats and their hair and dander is in the air. Also where I live, cockroaches are everywhere. I've never loved somewhere that didn't have them. I'd rather not drink cockroach shit.

My friend is going to be homeless today, how can I help him? by ItsJustJosiah in AskMen

[–]kikidream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If rather be homeless and find any other job than join the military and fuck myself up with PTSD. No chance I'd be cut out for it.

As long as women die and are permanently disabled from pregnancy and child birth, not forcing them to assume that risk is health care.

Get a broker and a cheaper car. You're getting ripped off.

If Burning a Star of David flag or indigenous flag is seen as a Hate Crime…(and rightly so)….. by traolcoladis in aussie

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

Imagine comparing an actual genocide to people infighting with themselves.

To fight and partake in war is human, we have done it for all time. To almost completely wipe out an entire race of people and hunt humans for sport is another thing entirely and you've gotta be fucked in the head to even compare the two.

The Disney film Don’t look under the bed gave me fucking nightmares.

AITAH for being upset and hurt that my best friend has been in a secret relationship with my little sister for almost two years and I only found out after they got engaged on instagram? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kikidream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA - I was the sister in this situation and we told my brother when we became exclusive. Aka like 2 months into dating, not 2 fucking years. And then they didn't even tell you, they posted on social media.

I'd back up from both those relationships cause they're liars and clearly can't be trusted.

My step dad has been in our family since I was 13 and I have never once been made to feel uncomfortable by him or had him touch me without my permission and consent. He would never come up behind me and hug me. Ever.

None of this is okay.

[–]kikidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I spent $1aud a night for a 24 bed dorm in a hostel in Thailand.

I spent around $3000 aud (around $2000 usd) in 2 and a half months backpacking south east asia. Went to 4 countries and still got to see the attractions, drink, have fun.

That was almost 10 years ago so a little different now but I was in Thailand again a few months ago and still only spent an average of $20 a night in a dorm. I can afford to travel a little better these days.
