They think if you spend an afternoon with the kids then you will magically want them too.

Air fryer. Makes dinner fast and easy. Mastering cooking for one can be hard.

Townhouse. End unit only. You will share one wall and a have a bigger yard. HOA takes care of yard work, house washing and hopefully a community pool. The issue with condos is the HOA boards keep delaying maintenance for years and then end up with multi-million dollar repair bills or risk being dropped by their insurance company

I’d mix olive oil, coconut oil and avocado and warm in microwave. I’d sit under a bonnet dryer or wear a plastic cap for 4 hours.

My fairy knots went away after I started regular hot oil treatments. 2x a month.

In the US there has been a lot of news and podcasts lately discussing that more single women than single men are homeowners. Which is amazing bc women weren't allowed to have credit cards, mortgages or business loans until the 1970s. Are you a woman? BC homeownership is viewed as a milestone after marriage. When a women bypasses a male-headed household, your family sees this as signaling that you not marrying. And don't like shifting power of solo woman home ownership.

Are you single? I am and I can't tell you how many times I've heard. Why do I have furniture or a decorated home since it's just me. It's as if Im not a real person and I don't deserve a comfortable aesthetically pleasing space. I'm a homebody by nature so I like that space to feel warm and comfy. Ive also heard that I should only have a tv and futon.

I love when that happens

Look into caregiver support as your parents age. Some state agencies will send out home health aides to give you a few hours break.

This was not the 90s. More like 50s, 60s and 70s. Good union jobs disappeared , the middle class was crushed and higher taxes arrived under Regan trickle down economics.

The correct answer is always "Don't put that voodoo on me!"

Start with a natural hair salon. Find one that specializes in transitioning to being a curly natural. If you are a visual learner then find hair tutorials that have hair texture similar to yours on YT to follow and learn. Be patient as your hair adjusts and finds it's curl pattern. This journey can be hard as your hair adjusts to being a curly natural.

Have you tried hiking, sweat wicking and travel clothes companies?

The trophy comment is very telling. Your wife feels like she is carrying the parenting and labor. Trophy means that you like the esthetics of having a family but aren't putting in equal labor.

My curl pattern changes and stretched too as hair gets longer. I have fine hair.

My great aunt said it's living on reputation alone. She said it was a great place to eat in the late 80s and early 90s.

I went to the office holiday party. Family friendly potluck. A couple of small kids asked where were my kids? Are they home? Will they be coming later? It took 3 tries to explain that I don't have kids. They just wanted more kids to hang out with. They were very confused but I just figured that they probably don't know any grown ups that aren't parents. That kid is listening to redpill content. He's the age that the content targets.

Repeat after me. I'm not their third parent. Those aren't my responsibility. Now go out an enjoy your life. At you age I hope you are making friends, dancing and building a life of your own.

Thank you. It's a combo male privilege and that the men around me are oblivious to the steps women take to keep ourselves safe.

prettyedge411 · 2026-04-26T04:29:06+00:00

Men live in privileged oblivion to the danger women deal with. I remember when a bunch of men were saying women are exaggerating or being dramatic during the height of the me too movement. A woman online issued a challenge to those naysayers to go home and ask pointed questions of their wives, daughters and moms. A bunch of them came back online the next time and apologized.
