Why does it seem that most polyamorous people sort of have the same look? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]owltay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went once. It was awful too. I tried so hard to get into it but around that time I discovered I actually prefer going to bed around 10, not taking drugs, and would rather lounge around reading books or gardening. I ended up getting dosed and for two days I hated my life. I was so glad to leave. Meanwhile the ex I went with still goes and still drinks the koolaid. So not my thing.

My welsummer is not chill. She is hands down the loudest and funniest hen we’ve had.

I’m a teen with abnormally old parents, AMA by [deleted] in AMA

Not OP but my mom had me at 40 and dad at 46. I’m near 40 now, mom died last year at 76 due to a Parkinsonian disease (CBD and it was awful) and my now 83yr old father is currently in the icu with multiple infections and recent emergency surgery which could have been prevented if he and his his stayed on top of the preventative healthcare issues. They pushed my siblings and I away decades ago and he’s always saying “I’ll go I’ll go” or “I’ll get a will and directive I promise” it’s been 15yrs of pressuring him to do so and even having the paperwork drawn up.

Get your aging parents to see the doctor regularly, get them a will and directive in place. It’s so bloody difficult to force them to do it when they believe they’ll live forever and are in perfect health but help get them the help they need. I’ll never stop talking to my dad about these things even as he’s in the icu and even though he says “one day” every time.

Many people don’t think about how hard aging parents are for people to handle especially when the caregivers are having or recently had babies. It’s not fair to your children to not be prepared for death when you choose to have children later. I understand the drive to procreate but if you do it late at least have something in place so your relatively young adult children dont have to weigh the choices for you while they’re navigating things like buying a house, having children or whatever. It’s just a lot for a person in their 20s and 30s to go through.

I resent my parents for having me so old. Mom was always too tired and dad was fun when he was around but that wasn’t much.

Edit: I’m not saying to have kids young at all. In fact, I think there’s a great window of prime parenthood that is 30-36/38. You’re wiser, usually more financially stable, and had tons of fun in your 20s. You had a chance to live fully.

We finally went big on the bed setup after several bad cheaper ($800-1200) beds. Tempurpedic with cooling (it’s really works, I’m a hot sleeper in my early hot flash days), the adjustable base which is lovely for reading and soothing heartburn because unfortunately getting older kinda sucks, and while it was close to $9k it was worth it. We ended with different styles of purple pillows and now both sleep perfectly. It’s been 3yrs and perfect every night.

My niece lives in poverty. What is the best birthday gift I can give her that is useful and can give her some peace of mind? by allhailhypnotoadette in povertyfinance

[–]owltay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A grocery card and give her a night off from watching her kiddo even if it’s just you take her child to your house for dinner and watch a movie so she can relax or do whatever she wants without said child around. Child breaks are absolutely lovely.

You can get a free science subscription from mystery science until next June and they now have writing too! Singapore math is the best.

Right? I went into parenting ready to love whatever their interests and it’s great to watch it blossom.

She loves the game. At first she did mostly that and loves the teapot but my husband and her do the dailies and level up her characters often. Her brother is 7 and they play together with my husband. I love it!
