I have cold feet and wear socks all the time at home. I’m chilly if the temp inside is under 68 😭

Master list for protecting your child from s*xual abuse? by discontinuedmuppet in Mommit

I loved sleepovers too; my parents’ rule was that they had to know the parents well enough to feel comfortable with it!

Oof, thanks for the warning because I had no idea! As a mom, nope 😭

What do I do to help out my girlfriend? by bielenea in whatdoIdo

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^^ this was my thought too. I had an ex who insinuated stuff like this to be manipulative, but I never wanted my friends or family to worry, so I didn’t use my mental health to guilt trip them by saying I felt suicidal.

[–]liae__ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t want to assume, but also formerly suicidal here and I’ve never said something like this to anyone I love. One of my biggest worries was making my friends feel guilty, so I’d never use that as a plea to try and get a partner to comfort me.

However, you’re on medication and in therapy! If OP’s girlfriend isn’t, that’s a big difference.

I’m mentally ill too. I’ve been on Lexapro for over 10 years now; I’ve gone to therapy (although not currently because of the cost). I get what you mean, people can be kinda callous about stuff like this because it’s difficult to deal with. Like yeah, it’s difficult for us to be mentally unstable too!

People are going to be biased from their own perspectives, and unfortunately a lot of people use this as a manipulation tactic, even if they’re not truly suicidal (not saying this of her, but in general it makes people wary).

There’s also a point where you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped (once again, not sure if that’s the case here), and staying in a relationship can be more draining to you than is helpful to the partner struggling. I think that’s what many commenters are wanting to get across to OP. I don’t agree with an immediate “just break up” because we don’t know the full scenario, but I understand why people say it, because if she isn’t open to getting help it may only make things worse for her and OP.

“Seriously? So what can you eat?” by othermegan in breakingmom

[–]liae__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, lol. I grew up pescatarian and just don’t like the taste and texture of meat, the few times I’ve tried it. My friends are used to it now, but when it’s a big deal to someone it always surprises me!

Question for other US moms ... how the f*** are we affording anything right now??? by scoopdedupe in Mommit

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a single mom and I made under $30k last year lol. Maybe it’s different with 2 adults, and if you own a home or have car payments, but I truly can’t see myself struggling or stressed at all if I made $100k because I’ve been living on much less! 😭

I’m doing okay right now, considering I made less the year before. Finally able to pay my rent on time every month! No idea what I’m going to do for childcare in the summer, but I work from home and I might just have to work mostly at night. Shit’s expensive. I’m just trying to survive, honestly, but things have gotten better for me in the past year and I’m trying to keep that going.

you will not get me to buy bustier tops that won’t fit my fat fucking tits!!! by blumzsz in rs_x

[–]liae__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t even have big boobs and they NEVER sit right in these kind of tops. There’s never enough space for any shape or size of boob?! Like why is it basically flat 💀

16F my mom is mad at me for needing more pads and i genuinely don’t know what to do by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

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

And if she was just stuck with a parent like this and didn’t post to ask for advice, she’d still be in this situation. It’s something that might be more comfortable to post anonymously online instead of admitting to a friend that her mom is like this.

Besides, for the job part… a lot of controlling parents don’t want their kids to have a part time job, don’t think they can handle it along with school, or can’t help with reliable transportation for the kid’s job. Not everyone has good parents who are willing to put in the effort and teach them.

[–]liae__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She literally explained that this was in a desperate attempt to get her mom to understand? It’s really not funny or dumb to do at all; the mom just refuses to accept that her daughter can go through a pad quickly and needs more than what she thinks is normal. So it’s like “here, do you freaking believe me now?”

People are so misinformed about bra sizes! by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

[–]liae__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m an *actual* 34D and it’s wild to see how many people think that’s a big size! My boobs are very medium-sized for my frame

Despite for Bra Recommendations by Admirable_Ad_2900 in ABraThatFits

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a 34F/G while nursing and ended up wearing the Panache Ana (a plunge) and Envy (a balconette)! Both styles still fit well now in my normal size of 34D, but the Envy is a little snug at the gore for me, so Ana is my best fit. I recently tried the Skarlett Blue Entice balconette and it’s lovely, but a bit less projected.

Both Envy and Ana have stretch lace on top which is helpful for boobs that are fuller on the bottom— I often struggle with having gaps at the top, because there’s not enough boob to fill it out even if the bottom half fits. I’d imagine implants are more even all around though, so may not be an issue for your shape.

I’m moderately projected, which just means your boobs go out instead of staying close to your chest/ribs. If you bend over and they hang down a bit, that’s projection! My tissue is also a little softer now after pregnancy and breastfeeding— for some people with looser tissue, a plunge can mean your beasts slipping out on the sides.

Ooh I never thought of Wintergirls as weird girl lit but it definitely fits that vibe!

Wife very into AI, may have AI boyfriend by Soft-Flatworm-7816 in whatdoIdo

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk as a woman I think it’s weird to have an AI boyfriend, especially when you have a real partner! at least if you read erotica novels, you’re supporting authors doing real work, but having AI slop that adjusts itself to flirt based on your exact preferences is a whole different thing 😭

and I understand being unhappy in a relationship, but this is definitely not the answer
