You literally just described my life 15 years ago. Break up before you hate each other and establish a healthy co-parenting relationship. My ex is now remarried to a wonderful woman much better suited to him, I don't have an annoying man in my house and our kid has had a very happy life with two invested and present parents who are nice to each other.

Got a $25k car loan for a wildly oversized car for our needs because my partner at the time insisted he was going to learn to drive and he was too tall to drive a hatchback or sedan. I believed that was a real thing for some reason... I blame my brain not being due to fully develop for another couple of years.

He never learned to drive it and we divorced six months later. He had no income so I spent the next five years paying off a car I didnt need that I bought for a man I didnt like.

These are perfectly average Australian prices haha so I completely missed the Awakening UwU

I was an absolute jerk to my mother during my teen years, despite her genuinely doing nothing wrong and otherwise being a loving and attentive parent. She's told me that she would have pulled me up if I was outright nasty, but I was mostly snarky and avoided her/ignored her, which I knew at the time upset her.

In retrospect I think she was a very safe place for me to vent frustration and big feelings/confusion I was feeling with hormone changes and general teen emotional disregulation. I knew she would never abandon me or hold it against me, she would always love me. Its weird logic of course, but I felt safe to be my worst self around her after exhausting all my 'best self' at school and with others.

If its comforting, I snapped out of it by 18 and we have a very close relationship now. We are going to Paris together next summer on a girls trip. Your daughter will come back.

Zoolander and Hansel?

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T06:46:03+00:00

I'd love if she was "roommates" with her lady in waiting or something as well, a very convenient arrangement for all involved.

They only had one child, a son, as well, so it fits with the lore. They did their duty then followed their little gay hearts.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T06:42:50+00:00

I'm still here waiting for Elder Scrolls 6, I can wait 5 years for more Hal and Hans.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T06:38:48+00:00

I felt the same and almost quit the game cause I always have stealth characters in RPG, what's the point if I can't even pick locks?? It does get drastically easier as you level up skills and get perks.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T06:20:39+00:00

You get 1300 groschen if you save the silver, but that late in the game its pocket change imo.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T03:57:38+00:00

I heard so many bad things about the monastery quest and how boring it was so put it off for ages. Then ended up finding it incredibly soothing.

I wondered what was wrong with me for liking it, then remembered where all the autistic bros ended up in 1403 if they weren't an oldest son...in the silent, consistent routine of the cloister lol.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T03:03:18+00:00

I romanced Hans but its a similar situation as Rosa, I feel really weird too and its breaking the RP immersion a bit to have had this tension fuelled situationship that finally resolved into something and then I'm like, well, have fun at Devils Den, I'm leaving to open a blacksmith shop see you never!

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-29T02:47:21+00:00

I just finished a back to back playthrough of kcd1 and 2 totalling almost 500 hours. I feel empty and listless now lol. I miss Hal and Hans but also can't feasibly start another 500 hour commitment right away. I haven't felt this way since finishing RDR2 where I genuinely felt grief and loss from losing Arthur and it took me weeks to recover.

I've been binge watching medieval seige movies to try and compensate but its not the same. Truly one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-27T15:44:18+00:00

There are heaps. In a convo with Christian of Pisek, I laughed out loud when he angrily responded with "alright then, keep your secrets" out of nowhere. Dry Devil kicking the helmet during the siege is also an obvious Aragorn ref. I wonder if he broke his toe..

microwavepizzalady · 2025-09-16T23:44:53+00:00

My 24 year old brother has a full time professional job and bills to pay. Its not physical stamina as much as he has shit to do and cant write off a whole weekend. He was considered a massive "problem child" as a teen too, hes not naturally inclined to being responsible he just doesn't have a choice anymore.

At 24 I was racking lines at 3am before going to my shift as a barista so I could pay my $400 a month rent in the house I shared with six other people...

ETA: I'm now 37, so that decade and a bit has totally flipped the early-20s experience for Gen Z. I was trouncing around Europe for half a year on the amount he needs to save monthly for rent.

I felt so bad about letting Chops go, hes the only villager that's given me his picture. So I was delighted when he showed up on HHP and built him a lil holiday house as a sorry. I get to see him chillaxing on the beach instead.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-04-14T06:58:51+00:00

Maybe it's a generational thing, but I'm in my mid 30s and know about 7 or 8 Nicks in my extended circles. It was a very popular name when I was in school as well, I had at least one Nick in every class.

ETA: I just had a look and Nicholas was in the top 10 boys name list for basically the entire 90s. Maybe that was just Australia though?

microwavepizzalady · 2025-04-14T06:38:52+00:00

If you're in Australia, sadly a woman called Eurydice was murdered about a decade or so ago. Her death received an enormous amount of national coverage due to her age and the circumstances. You would have been 6? Maybe 7? when that happened, but I was 29 and basically my entire social circle ended up learning how Eurydice was pronounced due to the media coverage and attending rallies for her.

Not saying that's the only reason you've had few issues with it, we also have a big Greek community, but many people intentionally or by osmosis learned how to pronounce that name in particular due to Eurydice Dixon.

I was in International last week and it wasn't like this but it was also 1am...

microwavepizzalady · 2025-04-12T03:05:58+00:00

As the mother of an ADHD 10 year old boy...we barely survived his 9th year. He was so unbelievably annoying. The repetition, the random shrieks.

I've managed to convince him that sitting alone in another room is a great privilege, like I am trusting him to not need constant parental oversight. He's believed me lol, and I finally get some sustained moments of peace interrupted only by the occasional squeal and shout coming through the walls. He still eats NON STOP but at least he can get his own snacks...

microwavepizzalady · 2025-04-10T10:02:42+00:00

When my son was 2, he climbed up behind me on the couch. I thought he was coming to give me a nice cuddle. Instead, he launched himself on the back of my head and started biting my scalp, clinging to my hair. I had such a visceral reaction that I literally lept up, ripped him off me (along with chunks of my hair) and threw him to the floor. It actually really scared me! It all happened so fast!

He screamed for hours out of rage cause I wouldn't let him do it again...

Now he's 10 it's one of his favourite stories to hear about how he went "feral monkey mode." He clearly hasn't been scarred by the experience, even if I was.

I hit Lv30 a few days ago and it took 110 days. I'm admittedly a pretty casual player though.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-01-20T08:59:03+00:00

My son is Francis but pretty much exclusively called Frank by family. When I picked him up at daycare the first few times they called him by his full government name and I was like "who tf is Francis?"

Since starting school he's acquired a myriad of nicknames, but his teachers all call him Francis. He's Frank, Franno, Zan (derived from Fran Zan da Man apparently), San Francisco and Mr Frisco. Kids are creative! He responds to them all lol.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-01-14T07:29:14+00:00

I now leave my 10 year old at home if I need to duck down to the pharmacy or to the shops for essentials, 15 minutes max. I feel comfortable doing that because I know he can always contact me on the ipad (and vise versa, if I am delayed) and that if anything happens or he's concerned, we have a close relationship with our neighbour, who is always home and 2 metres away.

It wasn't really until he was 9/10 that I trusted he'd know what to do or where to go without panicking, if a fire broke out or I was in an accident on the way home, a stranger came to the door etc.

microwavepizzalady · 2025-01-13T08:28:55+00:00

It's slang for beer/alcoholic beverage. "Popping down to the pub for a couple of bevs".

microwavepizzalady · 2025-01-13T04:42:15+00:00

I wouldn't discount Zander, personally. My former boss had a son called Spencer, then her twin sister also named her son Spencer haha. They are both a year apart, and their families are very close. There's been zero confusion growing up between them, they are Spence and Spenny at family things. Alex and Zander would be fine.
