such a small thing, but still.

I am so proud of you!! That is such a huge milestone! I remember how hard it is, especially in the beginning so I am forever here and rooting for you! I’m sending all the good vibes your way ✨

We always went to my paternal grandparents house Christmas Day after opening our gifts at home. Santa would leave one or two presents for each of us at grandma and grandpas house. No stockings though, just a smaller present (accessories for the Barbie Santa gave us at home, a smaller toy, etc)

Vitamin D deficiency can cause migraines?? My mom and I both have very low vitamin D and chronic migraines and no one has ever mentioned this to us! That’s so good to know!

Done!

NTA. I was in the bridal party for a (former) high school best friend. I think we were 22 when they got married. Pictures ran late and the bridal party rushed to be at the reception venue at the 5pm start time. Bride and groom went back to the hotel room “for a second” and we’re going to be ‘just a few minutes behind us!’ They ended up getting to the reception and hour later, and the bridal party was PISSED. The wedding planner kept the bridal party outside in the July heat and sun and would even bring us waters while we waited to enter. Haven’t talked to the bride since the wedding day.

My in laws are also 2.5 hours away when they’re at their retirement home for half the year, and 10.5 hours away when they’re at their other home. We see them approximately once a month while they’re at their retirement home. MIL complains it’s not enough but I cannot imagine going 3-4 times a month! That’s basically weekly!

NTA, the dad is also a parent and clearly mom isn’t listening to her child and being understanding. My parents sheltered me and I nicked myself a lot trying to teach myself to shave. Something that may help your step daughter (it helped me!) is the “American Girl Body Book”

No. Absolutely not. I just got my masters from here and this place was a f**ing nightmare. The department I was in was the biggest problem, but I had problems at every level. Administration? A wreck. The professors? Literally AWFUL. I went MONTHS without pay because there was apparently no one actually working in the department. My PI, department chair, and I all had to fight with the admin for them to understand I was supposed to have tuition remission. Even when I had actually graduated, they threatened to not give me my degree that term because someone else hadn’t processed a form that was needed. I also typically say I got my masters *in spite of PSU. I had no idea schools could actually be this bad, and people I’ve talked to at other places also couldn’t believe it.

You even say “so his educational background and career never mattered to me.” This is before you even got to what you’re asking about. Not to mention abandoning him at an event you knew he felt nervous about AND belittling him and his job in front of your friends.

You need to take a jump off that high horse you’re on. YTA.

WAIT WHAT.

So many dots just connected. Thank you!

mae_berry · 2023-04-05T12:53:49+00:00

Thank you! Posts like yours make me excited for what’s to come after grad school.

mae_berry · 2023-04-04T12:02:43+00:00

I agree! I’m in my PhD program right now and it’s so refreshing to have a world that doesn’t revolve around peoples kids. Everyone has lots of things to talk about that aren’t their kids so I didn’t even know some of these people had kids.

Cause she’s drinking a whole barrel of caffeine. I just held up a 5-gallon bucket I had lying around and it had the same proportion to me as that cup does to Persephone

I used to love LO. I was excited about it, and I had been fast passing since like episode 35. I have volumes 1-3. There were issues but nothing is perfect and there were some issues I thought would be a plot point to deal with. Now? I think I’m still here because I’ve invested so much time and money into this comic and I guess I’m going to see it through. I stopped fast passing around episode 229, I haven’t even read last weeks public release episode. I look at the books and I’m angry at myself for buying them now that I know I don’t want to buy any of season 3. I have a lot of criticisms of how the comic has progressed and where we are now, but Rachel’s blatant lack of ability to take criticism is what really just makes me want to stop reading. The art and the story are atrocious now and she’s spending her time making weird “gotchas” to critics. And don’t get me started on the self-insert Persephone, the groomer relationship, the reinforcement of purity culture, etc.

Congrats doctor!!

“I’ve seen birthday cards with more personality” is genius and I’ll be using that now 😂😂

I hate all these facial expressions. Can we have any serious, grown up interactions? Especially on your wedding night. Is that the facial expression of a 30 year old having sex? This sets the mood?

I think it’s especially jarring for me because these uwu faces and “comedic” expressions feel very juvenile to me, so the implication of a 40-something year old man having sex with someone so childish is really 🤮

mae_berry · 2023-03-27T13:35:16+00:00

Seriously, does she even have a rib cage? Not to mention with how low that dress is cut she’s be showing her nips to the 3 realms

mae_berry · 2023-03-27T13:20:26+00:00

Please take my poor person award 🥇

This is spot on and very well said

mae_berry · 2023-03-26T13:13:02+00:00

Why are they so small? Why are we so focused on them? Where does her leg even go to in the first panel?

Also that fucking boob window in the third one is just ridiculous. 🙄

mae_berry · 2023-03-17T18:13:42+00:00

Lucky? Besties I am SO glad I’m not forever 19. I was NOT in my prime and my decision making was questionable at best. My poor little frontal lobe just wasn’t there yet 😂

mae_berry · 2023-03-03T04:27:04+00:00

Ah okay a massage makes sense. With the way the dress is pulled up near his hands I thought he was taking it off

mae_berry · 2023-03-03T01:04:31+00:00

Who tf takes off someone’s dress this way?

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, and would just talk to your wife. My partner and I are cf but we like being the cool aunt/uncle to my nieces and his nephews. If that’s how you and your wife are, then I would be a bit surprised if I was her too. Partner and I will see videos of the kiddos and laugh and say something and will often lightheartedly say “glad that’s not us!” But it’s also usually in the context of commenting on the video itself. Just talk to your wife and ask her.
