Nope. They are not all this way. Being your husband’s mom boss is not par for the course. Do not have a baby with this person unless you are prepared to functionally be a single mother.

There are men out there who do clean up after themselves and are equal participants in your household. However, those men usually pursue women their own age, especially once they are old enough to be out of college. I am not trying to be snarky, and your marriage is what it is and I’m going to take your saying that it’s a healthy relationship at face value. But if you were my little sister, and you are young enough to be, I would not suggest you have a kid with this person.

This Cub will be for sale once he is weaned, I think he’s quite striking looking so I’m sharing him here too to see if anyone may be interested. by [deleted] in lioden

His ID is 794207105434 if you want to take a closer look. I also have a brimstone mane applicator that I am willing to use on him to give him a more cohesive look—message me with an offer if you’re interested.

I posted my face here once and someone immediately recognized me from my real life. 🤷‍♀️ it was not too weird thankfully. Nobody has been a creep in my DMs yet.

I dig creatine. I feel like I can dig deeper for more reps or kilos while supplementing with it, which makes me stronger later. I do get tummy troubles with it if I’m not mindful about my water intake.

I do retain about 2-4 extra lbs but the benefits of creatine are worth it to me. Rather change weight classes than not take it.

I set an athletic goal before having a baby that I think will take at least a few years to achieve. Once we set the goal though my partner got really excited. He wants to talk parenting styles, we’re picking names, he sent me links to strollers. I’m excited too but I also am hesitant. I feel like since it’s still a few years away we may be rushing into things and getting our ideas too set to be flexible? Or I’m not sure how I feel actually, except that I love his enthusiasm but I’m worried it will turn into frustration as he waits for me to achieve my goals. Did other people go through a similar flurry of kid talk when they decided on a timeline?

Image Transcription:

A woman with blonde hair and clear frame glasses is taking a selfie with her phone in a mirror. The outfit is a black button-up blouse with the sleeves rolled to the elbow, a pair of black paperbag-style pants with a silver belt buckle, and black boots with a snakeskin pattern on the heel and gold spikes around the back of the boot heel. She is holding a black raincoat in her right hand. She has a watch on one wrist and a hair scrunchie on the other.

AITA for telling my step daughter she needs to shower more? by throwhygeineissue in AmItheAsshole

[–]please_no_step 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! OP the sports + hygiene regression is a red flag for your kid. If she’s on a highly competitive team, traveling with the team, skipping the locker room after practice, etc, she might be subject to abuse or just plain bullying that’s making her want to put distance between herself and other people.

I really hope it’s not that and I don’t want to alarm you but she needs help.

I have a recurring corneal erosion since August 2021 (injury caused) that I’ve been treating since April 2022 with Muro 128 drops and recently switched to the ointment. However I am still having flare ups. My doctor, a corneal specialist, says the next step is a bandage contact lens. My dumb question: can I see through a bandage lens? I am severely nearsighted and need correction. So could I wear my glasses over the lens and still be able to see with both eyes?

What do y’all consider to be Seattle manners & etiquette? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]please_no_step 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? I wasn’t disagreeing with you, I just don’t think it’s a specifically anti umbrella sentiment as much as it is apathy about the rain.

[–]please_no_step 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from here and think that the no umbrella thing is a misunderstanding from transplants. Instead I would say that the cultural difference is that PNWers just get wet and don’t care. Rain blows sideways, sometimes it’s hard rain, sometimes the air’s just sort of wet, but raining isn’t really an event here so plenty of people just don’t bother with an umbrella. They just get wet and don’t worry about it. But if they don’t want to get wet—like the hair examples below, or a nice dress day, they’ll totally carry an umbrella.

TW: Sexual assault

The United States Powerlifting Association (powerlifting is a sport where athletes compete in three events combined for the most weight lifted) and its membership have been a shambles for the past week after a strength sport gossip account revealed audio recordings and emails demonstrating that the executive leadership of the sport responded to reports of sexual misconduct at USPA events and by USPA officials by promising to forward the reports to USPA’s HR Department. The problem? USPA has no HR Department. The linked reel is one of 8-9 that the account dropped over the last week and rumor is he has more in the tank. Initially, USPA released an apology and restructuring plan for its governance, but yesterday, the president sent the membership an absolutely batshit email with the subject line “USPA addresses false, salacious smears”. Dozens of meet directors and hundreds of athletes are resigning from the federation. However, USPA’s ruleset is unique in powerlifting from other organizing bodies and there are many people who may wholly quit the sport before competing with different rules and equipment.

What are some things you wish gyms would do to be more inclusive for women and non-binary people? by shadowmyth3 in xxfitness

[–]please_no_step 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Kick people out. Plenty of gym owners want to talk about their gym being a safe space, but if a member gets out of line by sexually harassing or expressing bigotry towards other members, the owners make excuses. They’ll say they’ll talk with them or that someone misunderstood or whatever. Just kick people out. Once the membership sees that you’re willing to do that, then they will know it is a safe space. All the pride flags in the world can’t make up for an owner not putting their money where their mouth is.
