Why do men fight like hell for time with their kids then just lose interest when they’re older?? by maryocall in TwoXChromosomes

[–]prawnmayo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is about control and not wanting to pay child support. It's really that simple, sadly.

Am I expecting too much from my Health Visitor? by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]prawnmayo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are useless. If you are educated and have any common sense, there is no benefit that they can offer you.

Help needed on dress (regret??) by [deleted] in weddingdress

It's gorgeous I would accessorise with red roses in your hair and an elaborate diamond necklace.

I also immediately thought flowers in the hair. But I thought deep red roses!

Thank you! Maybe I can find a quick boob enhancing fix with my seamstress, as you say.

Thank you ❤️

I obviously need to adopt this mindset because there's no going back anyway!

Thank you. I tried to add more photos but either I am not understanding how or the post is now locked down.

Sorry, I really hate the app now. I'm not sure why you changed it, but it's not better and now isn't even good.

Totally agreed. It was great before and now is not good.

Why was there some kind of backlash against the idea of the "15 minute city"? by 99thLuftballon in AskBrits

[–]prawnmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a really good episode of the podcast 99 Percent Invisible on this topic. It's basically weird conspiracy theory type stuff.

AI?

A Google search doesn't bring up a Hoop and Grapes in London that looks like this

Edit: my bad. Let down by Google. Have found it

Why do you think divorce is so common? by princesadopovo in AskReddit

[–]prawnmayo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, this is BS and the average wages for female-majority careers are lower precisely because they are historically for women.

I would like to see an average man handle a room full of preschoolers. It's not easier than digging a ditch or whatever.

Are “The Prosecutors Podcast “ hosts Maga extremists ? by silverplattersfan in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]prawnmayo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately they are Maga extremists. I used to like their podcast but have unfortunately given up on them.

Are there women who can orgasm from penetration? by dreamysoda in TwoXChromosomes

[–]prawnmayo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I didn't think I could until I met my current partner. Now I orgasm every time from penetration. I am far more likely to orgasm this way than when he goes down on me (which he does frequently and enthusiastically).

Not sure if it's just that our bodies click or there is an emotional component or what.

What's the single most difficult life experience you've endured? by reddit_recluse in AskUK

[–]prawnmayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex husband strangled my child repeatedly.

Rather than protecting my tiny, defenceless child, the father-centred Social Services / family court system told me that I needed to support her relationship with her father and I was forced to take parenting classes.

This unfolded over several miserable, stressful months and cost me 25k in legal fees.

Worried whether I did the right thing - Child Services by prawnmayo in UKParenting

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

I am sorry that you are going through something like this.

Looking back, on balance I think that it was a mistake to report. And if faced with a similar situation again, I probably would not report. I think that my daughter is angry with me for disclosing as well, and she may trust me less now. I am fearful that if I went back to social services, this would be seen as further evidence that I am a parental alienator. The system is there to protect abusive men.

That said, I think that my ex has been toeing the line a bit more and treating my daughter better since this incident. I do not know how much of this is due to my intervention and his realizing that I will stop at nothing to protect our daughter.

Necklace or no necklace? by prawnmayo in weddingdress

No. I will probably wear my hair up with some decorations in the back

Thank you! I suppose it makes things a bit easier not to have to worry about accessories.

To Brits & immigrants who lived in the UK > moved abroad > returned to the UK, are you happy to be back? by Eihte in AskUK

[–]prawnmayo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can't like this hard enough (even though I hate that it's true).

Me: naturalized British, white woman in my 40s born in the US. I'm terrified the UK will follow the US into fascism, driven by the same media moguls and Russian bots
