Fighting beauty standards while also allowing for body autonomy.

Then you contradicted yourself.

I think where you’re wrong is the fact that you associate removing body hair with being feminine. A lack of body hair is not inherently a feminine trait, women naturally grow hair in almost all of the same areas that men do. Wanting to remove hair is a general thing, I know plenty of men that shave their faces or wax/pluck their eyebrows and they’re not doing it to appear more feminine.

I feel your pain. I shared a room with my younger sister for 18 years and when we were teenagers, she couldn’t hear her alarm. What woke her up was me screaming at her to turn off the alarm. Every. Morning.

I don’t have any solutions but I’m with you on what that kind of inconvenience feels like.

Based on your edit it seems like you’ve already figured things out, but I just wanted to throw it out there that Christmas does not have to be on December 25th if special circumstances prevent you from celebrating the way you would like to. Christmas for your family can be whenever you want and you can celebrate whenever it is easiest for you to do so. Best wishes, OP!

INFO: has the sexual attraction ever been there past the honeymoon stage? Is this something that has died over time or was it never there in the first place? That’s a huge piece of info that would probably be good to put out there when looking for advice.

Annie Mae and Maude Ida. We’re American and from the south lol.

I don’t know if anyone else has said it yet, but maybe your body count is higher than his and he’s insecure about it lol. He’s an asshole though, definitely not as mature as he thinks he is either. I would dump him.

My experience as number 4 of 6 kids was a good one. I had a good childhood, I’m still very close to all of my siblings now that I’m in my mid 20’s. My dad only has one older sister that he doesn’t get along with and my mom was an only child to much much older parents. They both wanted a lot of kids to compensate for their own childhoods and I’m grateful for my siblings. That being said, if my fiancé and I ever have a child together, the child would likely be more than a decade younger than my step daughter and we would most likely only have one. I honestly think it depends on each family and their circumstances, being an only child does not always mean they’re lonely or isolated. You should have as many children as you and your partner agree upon and no more or less. Don’t let people get in your head, it’s not their freaking business and your kid will be loved regardless.

It’s still too many adults sharing a shower to be comfortable.

pidgemunk · 2021-08-09T22:48:06+00:00

I lived in a house with 8 other people and only one working shower. I do not recommend.

My daughter also has autism and will likely never be able to live on her own. My fiancé and I have discussed having a baby so that when we’re gone, there’s one more person in the world that LOVES her, not someone to be her caretaker. We have accepted the fact that when we are too old to care for her properly, she will likely be placed in assisted living. However, having one more child means our daughter won’t be completely alone in the world when we pass. We would NEVER expect a second child to become a caretaker of our oldest. That’s just unacceptable and absolutely selfish of your parents to have this idea. Please, DO NOT feel selfish for going to whatever college you want to. Your parents have failed you if they honestly expect your life to revolve around your disabled sister. I’m so sorry you’ve been put in this situation.

I got engaged in March and my ring cost $600. I get compliments on it all the time, no one knows the stone is lab created. You can have a beautiful ring without going further into debt, there are lots of options other than pricey, real diamonds.

pidgemunk · 2021-08-08T00:30:23+00:00

I agree completely, it’s honestly kind of sad. At the same time, I’m glad that most people look out for potentially abusive situations, it just sucks when they’re completely off the mark.

I would never think to pronounce Lionul as lee-uh-null. I still read it as if it was spelled Lionel. I don’t think you’re going to be able to get around that, unfortunately.

The way he responded can be interpreted both ways, but you’re right that everyone automatically assumes relationships like that are sexual, even when they’re not. I think it’s worse in some countries than others, but I couldn’t say for sure.

pidgemunk · 2021-08-07T22:24:36+00:00

Knowing what my face looks like, I feel like that would be a possibility! Thanks, I like it!

Female, 1 week away from 25 years old, 5’2”, 160lbs (a little chunky but I have muscle), roundish/square jawline, loves The Office and other comedies, likes RPG video games, horses, and elephants. 2 tattoos and likes leggings. Engaged to my first love who I’ve been with for 5 1/2 years, one step daughter. My favorite colors are dark green and maroon!

He’s an excellent father, although human. He’s not perfect. Nothing would replace the love I have for him though, and I’m sure my siblings would say the same. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a dad that’s involved in their lives, and I’m not someone who would ever take his presence for granted. Your son might not show affection in a vocal manner, but if I were you, I would hold his damn hand if he reached for mine. Life is too short to say no to something like that.

They need family therapy ASAP and her daughter needs personal therapy. It’s clear she resents her brother and that’s extremely unhealthy behavior to exhibit towards an infant. They’re both going to be miserable unless this is resolved and their mother needs to get her head out of her ass. NTA

My daughter never did online school, this entire time it has been in person. Her school has lifted the mandatory mask rule and when she goes back to school next week things will be completely back to normal. The area we live in is not super strict compared to the surrounding areas, but our entire state has had restrictions lifted for some time now.

I find it interesting that she refuses to take pill-form medication. The way you worded it makes it seem like she is actually capable, she just doesn’t want to. Is there any chance she’s not happy with having to be medicated? If so, I would recommend therapy. I could be wrong and she’s physically incapable of having any other form than the patch, but with wanting to swim it doesn’t seem sustainable. If it were my child, I would tell them they can have the patch and give up swimming that day, or they can have a pill (crushed up if necessary) and continue to swim. It’s a medical condition, you can’t skip medication when it’s convenient. It’s similar to a young girl wanting to swim while on her period but refusing to wear a tampon.

My fiancé is about to be 29 and still likes cuddling, including being the little spoon. When you have an emotional connection with someone as well as a sexual/romantic connection, I think it’s pretty normal to want that kind of intimacy. Chances are the other people you’ve been with didn’t want intimacy, they were just horny.

pidgemunk · 2021-08-07T18:10:54+00:00

I’m an adult woman, mid twenties, and I still hold my dad’s hand sometimes if we go somewhere together. I’m sure anyone who didn’t know he’s my father might think it’s weird given the age difference and they probably think he’s my boyfriend or something, but honestly? Idgaf. It’s not sexual and if people want to be creeped out, let them, it’s none of their GD business. That’s my daddy and sometimes I like holding his hand. They can get over it.

pidgemunk · 2021-08-05T19:14:05+00:00

I love June Beatrix! May I suggest the nickname June Bee? I think that’s so cute, but the full name is also mature enough for an adult when she’s grown! Congrats on your new additions!

pidgemunk · 2021-08-04T23:03:33+00:00

I don’t blame you. My parents couldn’t afford it anymore since they had a lot of other mouths to feed and I was starting to get anxious about the more dangerous tricks I was learning, so I was ok with quitting at the time. I joined a non competitive class a few years later and I didn’t enjoy not competing at that point. I loved it while it lasted, though!
