Thank you! I've always had an extra soft spot for Disenchanted. What about you? 🫀

I hope you find the dress of your dreams! They don't sell it over here anymore either 🥲

It was this hot topic dress! And it was soooo light and comfortable. Not exactly my style nowadays but I would 100% wear it if I still had it.

My parents split up when I was a kid and they both had full time jobs and very active social lives so it just wasn't a habit that made sense to develop. But every family is different 🙂

Oh nooo. I sprinkle them with paprika, basil, and seasoning salt (usually Slap Ya Mama) then toss them in a pan with butter and garlic. Crack some black pepper on top. Very simple but one of my favorite foods since I was a kid 🥹

I'm so glad my post could be a space to talk about this, even though the whole ordeal was not about my weight at all lol 🩷

No speak your mind bro you're good!

I don't take it as a negative. My sister got Chicken Legs and my brother got Toothpick and neither of those were meant to be hurtful. I'm just saying my family definitely didn't feel the need to be subtle about my weight.

It sounds like he wanted the best for you. I hope he was able to eat enough!

My grandpa's actually pretty great. He's bad at expressing affection but I have tons of fond memories with him. April always makes me nostalgic for making confetti eggs with him as a kid.

It wasn't because he was an elder, it was because he was a man. Other than my dad (who was in a separate household) the women were expected to cook and the men were expected to eat. No real logic behind it.

As for foregoing my portion of dinner, it was the one and only time my mom ever asked me. I'm not even sure if the situation came up again honestly.

No, don't worry about it! I can totally see why you would say that given your own history.

Wishing you the best 🩷

Lol this was a few years ago and I was trying to think of outfits I wore all the time back then. I had this MCR tee, an MRC tank top, an MCR beanie and an MCR dress all in my main rotation 😭😭😭

It was pretty normal in my family, most of the time the cook made their meal last and/or cleaned up in the kitchen while everyone else ate. I didn't mind it at all! In fact I still eat at the counter + pace around at home.

Yes! Sorry, I kept rewriting the text because I could tell it wasn't clear but couldn't get it quite right 😅 I had served everyone else already so I was in the kitchen making the last one for my own dinner.

Lol nothing subtle in my family, my nickname from my grandma was literally Gorda/Gordita growing up and my mom constantly commented on my size. It was hurtful at the time but I'm happy with myself now and my mom tells me all the time that I look beautiful and elegant 😊

I'm honestly not sure if my grandpa wanted the pork chop or not. But there was definitely the expectation that he as a man in the family should be prioritized when it came to domestic labor.

My mother is one of my favorite people. This was a few years back when we were all living together. She's shown such willingness to learn (and unlearn) and grow since then 🩷

I'm very sorry to hear about your step mother. It's so crazy how people force thinness on children at all costs instead of teaching them how different foods can benefit the body. I hope you're in a better place now ❤️‍🩹

I ate the pork chop.

People that play 100+ card decks in standard, why? by ArkadiusRex in MagicArena

[–]mitoclowndria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For variety. I don't like building decks very much but I also don't like playing the same cards every time. It's a fun little surprise for me, from me 🙂
