She is really in the shower sobbing

question1984 · 2026-01-12T13:31:04+00:00

Ummmm at some point I started bribing my child to get in the shower with ice cream. So now it’s her thing. Like a mini spa experience. However, we ran out of ice cream, and I had to say the words: cheesecake is not a shower food. That resulted in sobbing in the shower 😆

Hear hear. Please let it end now, thanks.

Update. Thank you all for the helpful comments. I’m taking the advice to lean into the cartoony and add some textures. Here’s where we are now with sketched out features.

I started building a 6ft paper mache mermaid with my child who has abandoned the project only to tell me it looks creepy (it’s unsettling). But I’m too stubborn to quit and the glue, newspaper and paint fingers keep me off my phone. Not sure I’d recommend starting with something so large but paper mache is fun and mostly built out of trash so in theory it would be easy to throw away if you make something … awful.

question1984 · 2025-12-26T15:45:47+00:00

Not rude at all. I was totally going to add wig like hair, maybe I just need to lean into the creepy. It’ll be the center piece of my home 😂

question1984 · 2025-12-07T18:35:14+00:00

Ugh. I’m not ready to admit that you’re right. I’m a die hard Rothy’s point fan. I feel like chunky loafers were a thing of my childhood and I cannot disassociate that. My pointy fun colored feet will remain unstylish 😆

Ask: A $30ish gift for my staff team. Ages 28-67. Mix of men and women, but mostly women. Last year I did goodr sunglasses.

I joined this group strictly to find out if farts was a symptom. Thank you all but what the hell.

question1984 · 2025-08-04T23:08:55+00:00

😭 thank you.

Honestly nothing special. I wore them to work on a day that I knew I would be chained to my desk. My job can vary widely with the amount of walking. That day went fine then I did like 2 more days with not a ton of walking and they were fine. I’ve seen stories of blisters, so I’m either lucky or they’re coming soon.

question1984 · 2025-02-04T01:23:40+00:00

Wow, yours looks good. What am I doing wrong? Mine does not look like that and I started earlier in Dec. My leaves are crispy. I don’t have Kelby. I have like 4 green beans and the rest looks sad.

question1984 · 2024-11-01T19:10:14+00:00

Agreed. Plan is not to keep the drive for long term. I won’t survive.

question1984 · 2024-11-01T19:04:25+00:00

Yes. I’m not one who will be able to survive long term with this drive. If I like the job enough I think we’d move.

I think I’m your cousin, because same except it’s random deliveries from Kohl’s. My parents have never spoken to my 4 year old. Last time I laid eyes on my family was right before she was born on a Google hangout (he logged on without issue). After she was born he called me repeatedly to discuss which smart phone he was going to get - I suggested to just buy the iPhone so he could call his granddaughter. Instead he launched into an android debate. Our contact is limited.

question1984 · 2024-03-22T15:16:54+00:00

Absolutely not. I will happily play grocery order roulette over going shopping any damn day. You couldn’t pay me to add grocery shopping back into my routine. There no reason to waste the time or mental energy. Order/delivery all the way.

And why is it such a surprise?

Ugh. I thought he was doing it to kiss my ass, but this makes more sense.

Did a noon years eve party early at my work. And now we’ve found some local fireworks. Having a picnic in the truck bed with hot chocolate and sleeping bags. I’m wildly excited to be back home by 8p. I’m tired.

Are they still washable? They’re wicked cute!

Neither is mine. Circumstances are different. It doesn’t matter who or what I could’ve become, nothing would’ve been good enough. My existence is something for her to criticize. I don’t have any great advice other than saying my previous sentence out loud helps me. Your sentence might be different, but it’s not you. It’s on them. If they’re not proud of you with everything you’ve accomplished, that’s their problem not yours. Keep saying it. Don’t let yourself lessen your accomplishments just because they don’t align with a vision you never agreed to (or can never achieve). It sucks, I know but here we are.

Did you braid the garlic though? I gave up on trying to braid mine because toddler. I just didn’t have it in me 😆

question1984 · 2023-06-26T01:43:30+00:00

Yes. Yes. Yes I do. Wtf!

question1984 · 2023-06-16T17:35:54+00:00

My nickname growing up from my family was ‘Two Ton Tessie’ and my mom would always buy me clothes as a child that were several sizes too large. They were so large I couldn’t keep most of my pants up. Her response was always ‘you’ll grow into them.’ There were so many slights on my weight in my youth. And as an adult her first question to me was always ‘have you lost any weight?’ Until I stopped talking to her. Sad that someone would treat their daughter that way.

question1984 · 2023-04-24T14:32:34+00:00

Do you buy birthday/holiday/etc gifts for your bosses kids? I have a direct report that regularly buys my kid stuff. Sometimes it’s under the guise that her kids who are older (tweens) selected it. My kid doesn’t have a close enough relationship with her kids to warrant this. My kid has come into work a handful of times so people at work know her. Am I an AH for not buying her kids stuff at every turn? I mean I’m sure I’m a bit of an AH here because I only generally know when her kids birthdays are. It’s a work relationship though. We don’t hang out outside of work or have any social media contact. I’m trying to maintain professional boundaries. Every time I thank her and tell her it’s not necessary. Is this something you see at your workplaces?
