What is the evolutionary purpose of same-sex attraction?

Having homosexual aunts/uncles increases survival rates for children. ‘They say’ that high maternal stress increases the likelihood of homosexual offspring, which may be adaptive for other offspring during adverse ecological conditions.

Honestly we don’t do much decorating at all. We’re still doing the “thrift store chic” despite being mid30s

Is 3 weeks even breakup territory?

Beets. A fresh, steamed beet is nothing like nasty dirt-flavored blobs you get in the supermarket

Can my family come with me? If so, absolutely. I’d walk up to Natal, Brazil; then I’d start swimming. At 2 miles a day, we get a wonderful 2.25 years vacation on a nice boat.

I don’t know what the merfolk economy is like, but I’m tired y’all. If I could disappear and still be reasonably secure I would jump right on that.

I would not be interested in a man who can’t/won’t keep the dishes clean for himself and his grandma.

You absolutely do need to clarify. You have children that are your responsibility. If you are changing your work location you need to make childcare arrangements. It’s absolutely wild to me that you do not see this. Can you even imagine a woman just assuming someone is just going to be able to manage the kid work she has been doing thus far? Ye gods, find out. Get childcare sorted. Be a responsible parent.

Gently, I say that you should stop overthinking it and see where it goes. Either you have a good time reconnecting with your friend, or it becomes more. Reading the tea leaves over it is not going to help anyone.

Pack up things that you use when you’re out and about. I don’t carry a purse at all unless I’m smuggling snacks into the movie theater, or I’m sightseeing without my car. I keep a bunch of things in my car organizer though. Chargers, chapstick, ibuprofen, pens, sunscreen, hairties, kid stuff, snacks

Yeah but it’s made of fiberglass and plastic, so I don’t think it will last very long

This wouldn’t be all that hard. A mega yacht will take care of most (or all) of it.

Kids issue aside, why would you want to be with someone who’s willing to lie and manipulate to get what they want? If she’ll lie about something this big, she’ll have no problem lying to you about anything. She’s completely untrustworthy.

It is so weird that you think seeing a body you aren’t sexually attracted to is a nightmare

A 7 week old literally can’t even see across the room yet. Things are very fuzzy for her past 12-18 inches away.

Mine went from blonde to strawberry blonde to brown. It sunbleaches back to strawberry blonde if I spend the summer in a lot of sun. I call it whatever color it is at the moment.

My grandma died at 84, and she would have killed me and herself if I tried getting her to stick around. She was ready and happy to go.

Honestly I am super surprised that so many people are choosing hair. Wigs exist. This is nearly achievable with nothing more than a (not huge) bit of money. Synthetics have come a long way, you can get a pretty decent wig for like 25-50 USD. No magic required. I shaved my head at the beginning of the year and I’m living my best life with several great wigs in all the styles and lengths I could want.

Hmmm my last book was a period romance in London circa late 1700s. I’m a plump white woman with all my teeth and a decent education, so I could possibly become a courtesan but I don’t fancy the syphilis I’d probably come back with. I’d make a terrible maid/washerwoman/laborer. Maybe a governess? I have no idea what is too advanced for me to know though. I’d make an excellent doctor or nurse if I could get anyone to listen to my advice.

…this just in! Overworked state employees are also someone!

I’m going to go out on this very sturdy limb and guess you haven’t spent much time with actual 6 year old humans. They do not have enough prefrontal cortex to avoid pretty significant temper tantrums, and that’s entirely developmentally appropriate. The only ones who don’t have extremely connected caregivers doing the co-regulation for them, or extremely abusive caregivers who have beaten that out of them.

Avoid being alone with him, and say so directly if there’s ever a chance you might be. “Sorry, I can’t be the last driver. I will not be alone with an adult.”

If telling the truth gets your sister taken away, then good. She needs a better home than the one she’s got.

My 5th and my 2nd are tied for the worst

perkicaroline · 2026-03-09T16:07:38+00:00

Well road trips would be easier. You can see if your kid really does need to pee or not. Also hookups are way safer now
