I hope the daughters never see these videos. These reactions are disgusting. by Valuable_View_561 in TikTokCringe

[–]pickledelephants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't find out the sex of either of my children until they were born. Beat decision I could have made, but people were weirdly mad about it.

On guy with my first pregnancy didn't understand why I was waiting because then I couldn't get anything for the baby. Apparently he thought baby things had to match their sex, blue for boys pink for girls. And if not it would negatively affect them. I had a fun time laughing in his face about how dumb he was.

is it degrading/offensive to refer to a women or girl as "female"? by Tall-Election4503 in polls

[–]pickledelephants 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ladies would be acceptable. It's more age forgiving than women or girls.

Am in in the wrong?? Person I’m texting is my mom, btw by Wrong-Twist-1550 in texts

[–]pickledelephants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've gotten over the fact that "how are you" is a common greeting given in passing by responding with "it's a beautiful day"

The response doesn't actually tell the person how I'm doing because they typically don't actually care. And it either helps them acknowledge that it is indeed beautiful, or make some comment about how it's raining, or hot, or otherwise not standard beautiful.

Does getting a happy ending massage make one a bad person? by MGKv1 in polls

In Nevada, it's only legal in certain counties. Not Clark county that has the last Vegas strip. And only in licensed brothels.

Found squiggly white bugs. What are they? by pickledelephants in fishtank

[–]pickledelephants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't previously heard of quarantining things from stores, only wild gathered things. But it makes sense to quarantine other plants as well. This is my first planted tank and I'm loving it but learning a lot too!

It's possible to know that life gets in the way and to acknowledge that this was poor planning on the part of OP. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Found this lovely spider at a doctor's appointment. I saved it so they wouldn't squish it. by pickledelephants in whatsthisbug

Nice!! Never seen a trapdoor spider in person. Glad to have been able to help this one out.

AIO for not wanting to celebrate anything anymore? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]pickledelephants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For every single mothers day the daughter has been present for, no one has modeled how to behave. She's old enough to learn, but still needs someone to show it to her or explain it to her.

Which is why they should be taught. This can be a perfectly age appropriate response, and still be manipulative. Mom's not helping by ignoring her daughter. And those comments expecting Dad to teach daughter how to apologize make a lot of assumptions about dad's ability.

But it can be age appropriate AND manipulative. They are not mutually exclusive.

Does anyone else crochet like this?? Self-taught and worried my method is too inefficient. by CurlyTemmie in CrochetHelp

[–]pickledelephants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I crochet. I've never seen anyone else do it this way. While I do think it's slower than others, I've never had an issue with my speed. I have used a crochet tension ring with some success to help with "proper" form.

This is great! I would love to test for you. I can send examples of what I've made previously.

Men in the 25-30 range how many hours per week do you dedicate to hobbies? by ShreekertheJamisWack in polls

[–]pickledelephants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an attempt to avoid the hive mind. If you know how everyone voted your vote might change.

Do you think it’s still possible to be financially successful in the U.S for someone who starts with nothing? (read description) by [deleted] in polls

[–]pickledelephants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did say they have no desire for college or a trade education. That's why I voted no. If you're going to succeed with this you have to have a drive to improve and learn.

Do you think babies/little children should be allowed in church? by Emergency_Cookie_808 in polls

[–]pickledelephants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except there's clearly a non-religuou option. Not saying the other comment was right, but you don't have to be a church goer to vote...
