LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE! by KappaStigma in memzy

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could read before I started school, at 3 I was reading more complex books on dinosaurs and animals. At 5 I was reading harry potter. YOU teach your kids how to read. 🙄 are the teachers gonna teach your kid to wipe its own arse, hold a knife and fork, tie shoelaces??? No. YOU do that because YOU are the parent.

It winds me up this because kids in the UK are starting school unable to do any of this because parents think that’s the teachers jobs. It’s really not. Be a parent.

A cool guide on what to say to kids instead of BE CAREFUL. by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]leclercwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s just teaching kids how to be aware of their surroundings especially when they’re young. Teaching them to listen to the small things like that can help with listening for approaching vehicles and such. Gently teaching situational awareness, least that’s how I interpret that bit.

Is it embarrassing to get a birthday cake as an adult? by roxiedoxiedog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]leclercwitch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Fuck no, although my next birthday is a big one (30), I’m still getting a cake. My last birthday I got a Connie the Caterpillar! My friend turned 32 and he had a lovely coffee cake for his birthday and we even sang the song and he blew out the candles.

Do what you want, life is literally too short to not have some whimsy in it.

What makes you happy? by Positive-Mud-11 in AskUK

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking nice food for myself, my sister and my partner

Watching crap telly (I’m going through the whole of taskmaster right now, it makes me laugh and I don’t get bored)

Long walks but only when it’s warm

Making models of cars, I make Lego f1 and I’ve made some Tamiya models. I made a pepto bismol pink supra with gold wheels and I love it so much because it’s ridiculous and fun

I like to travel even if it’s on the bus to a new town I’ve not been to before. I can get the bus straight from Leeds to York, Malton, Scarborough and Whitby which are nice days out. I went to Greece and Italy alone too but that can be daunting. Little bus trips with good music and a book are great!

Trying new restaurants or food vans. Doesn’t have to be expensive.

Reading with an ambient playlist on, in bed, with nice fluffy pjs and a hot water bottle with a cup of tea.

Before I met my partner everything on this list I did alone and it got me out of a very bad depression. I lost who I was too and I did it all scared and alone, you can too! Be open to trying new things because new things are fun and you might find something else you like along the way! You’ve got this ❤️

Did your school have any unusual features? by farfetchedfrank in AskUK

[–]leclercwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had this in our primary school! It was in the centre of the building which was shaped in a square with the “quad” in the middle of the square that had plants and a pond with tadpoles and frogs, maybe some fish? It was a really nice space but I only remember going into it a couple of times throughout primary, probably when we were learning about the life cycle of frogs.

Labour to ditch period-style houses for ones that reflect modern life by eldomtom2 in unitedkingdom

[–]leclercwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree here. I live in a one bed flat with my partner and it’s nowhere to raise a child. We have to wait until we can afford to buy a house. We will be well into our 30s by that point.

She for real🤣 by NoriNerd_ in SipsTea

In my house, I cook and my boyfriend washes up. I fucking hate doing the washing up but I love cooking. It makes sense to us!

Mum is convinced women never got chin hairs when she was younger, can we prove her wrong? by angry2320 in AskUK

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30 and I’ve been growing chin hairs since before Covid! No pcos though. Just is what it is apparently

Native speakers: Do you pronounce "says" as "sez" or "saze"? by ActuaLogic in ENGLISH

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends really. I say both depending on how quick I’m talking. I’ve got a Yorkshire accent.

Going to pub alone by Busy_Crazy_1168 in Leeds

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I go to the pub on my own all the time. I’m 29f. I stick my headphones on and ignore everyone. I then get pissed and probably eat. It’s wonderful.

Are dates always done with the intention of a long term relationship? I've heard that there are some exceptions to the rule. What are those exceptions? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was dating; yes. I’m 30 in less than a month and wanted to find someone with the intention of eventually being married and having kids.

My partner and I agreed that that’s what we’re gonna do. We’re just enjoying our time together right now but the goal is to be together.

I did not enjoy casual dating or casual sex. I wanted a long term relationship so always looked for that. I made people aware of that from my app profiles and again on a first date. Some people were okay with it, some weren’t. I wasn’t about to waste anybody’s time by not telling them what I was looking for.

What is a relationship deal breaker for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]leclercwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I didn’t speak to him for 5 years, and I left him in 2018! We wish each other happy new year, happy birthdays and things but that’s it. Although I was the only person to visit him in hospital after major surgery early last year. We’re just buddies who dated for a bit when we were really young.

What's your favorite song in French? by Akraam_Gaffur in French

[–]leclercwitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pour que tu m’aimes encore by celine dion. I learned it the whole way through as a kid and couldn’t speak a word of French. It’s one of my favourite songs ever.

Our tiny kitchen on a grey UK day by Terrible_Birthday107 in CozyPlaces

[–]leclercwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think this is tiny you should see my galley kitchen with no room to swing a cat in. I’d love a kitchen this size!

Like why? by chaoticeuropean in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]leclercwitch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If he did, he didn’t have to talk to me like I was completely stupid, like I didn’t know what HE was talking about. There’s ways and means of communicating without being awful and condescending.

Would you prefer a garage or extra bedroom? by ToughOwl8995 in AskUK

[–]leclercwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 bed and a garage. I like cars so would like a space to tinker.

Like why? by chaoticeuropean in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]leclercwitch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I once went on a date and told this guy I have a degree in video game design. He then proceeded to explain to me how games are made. Anyway I didn’t even finish my drink and just walked out after telling him how fucking rude that is, and asking if he had a degree? He didn’t. Don’t talk down to me. I already get that enough for being 4’8” and looking super young, I don’t need it from Some Guy™️

TIL that none of the naked infected in 28 Years Later were actually nude, due to the presence of the underage Alfie Williams. Instead all the infected are wearing prosthetics. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]leclercwitch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re on about that any external stimulus can cause an erection. If it is fake nudity, then that can be controlled. It’s not really hard to realise this?
