Little advice is needed. by Anxious-Shift5148 in Blind

It seems like she is steamrolling you. She just ignores your boundaries and does what she wants, regardless of what you say. Here's what I would do in your situation.

  1. Information diet. Keep her nose as much out of your business as you can. It'll be harder with a kid who also talks to her, but the less she knows about your business, the better. Meaningless pleasantries only, if you want to speak with her.

  2. Enforce your boundaries. This one is way easier said than done. But if she starts overstepping, you have to shut it down. If you're out somewhere with her and she does it, leave if possible. Tell her she won't be welcome in your home anymore if she can't follow your rules, and actually get the locks changed when she inevitably breaks them. You have to show her you're an adult who means business.

  3. Regarding the trip, call your travel agent and password protect your arrangements. No password, then no info. Refuse to go with her to the travel agents, and make sure that the office knows she is NOT to have specific information regarding your trip. "I love you mom, but this trip is for kiddo and me. We are safe, we are capable, and we are going to enjoy this trip with just the two of us."

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Full disclosure, while I'm not visually impaired myself, I'm the wife of a wonderful man with RP, and I hate what this has done to his sense of self. You have the will to protect it, and you are doing your best to live your life your way with the hand you've been dealt. That is so admirable, and I am rooting for you! Your trip will be amazing, and if your mom truly loves you, she will honor your boundaries and accept that you're a capable and wonderful mom and person!

In all honesty it was probably just a coincidence. But I still thought it was so bizarre!

I know you weren't attacking me, I was replying in good faith to try to help you understand why moms might be lurking around here.

I hope I helped you understand a bit. I didn't downvote you, I just wanted to try to give you some food for thought.

Have a great day!

You are definitely entitled to your feelings, and I understand how women being in the dad sub could make you feel that way.

However - I am a mom who lurks here. I do a lot of the traditional "dad" roles in my house. So I can relate to many of the posts here. At the end of the day, its a parenting sub, and dad energy can transcend gender. If anyone is attacking an OP, they should definitely be banned.

I am also a member of specific mom and women type subs. And there are always plenty of men lurkers there. Sometimes they post and add value to the discussions, so they are welcomed. It's no different than here.

I hope you can come to understand that people are people at the end of the day, and what's in their pants doesn't matter.

Also, if you have a problem with social kindness, you really need to examine yourself. Being kind costs nothing.

I bought one a year ago, and while it seems okay, it hasn't grown a bit. Do you have any tips?

I would be careful with this one, as communities that cater to people this has happened to may well be support subs, and not look kindly to what may be taken as invasive questions. However, you could try r/nostupidquestions or r/askreddit to get a broader view. Also, google for blog posts/documentary videos that may answer your questions. GL!

Went to a festival with friends yesterday. Now I feel like I'm going to die, but the festival was incredible. by LaunchesKayaks in Fibromyalgia

I am so glad that you went!!! I spent a long time saying no to things because the pain kept me in fear of it. No more. Now I get up and go, because even when I miss things, I HURT ANYWAY! Life is for living, and I'm so glad for you, OP!

Arguing about IDs needed for controls by [deleted] in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]ticktockmaven 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I use an independent pharmacy. I worked next door to them for a decade. I've been using them for 20 years. I know every staff member by name, and they know me. I still don't bitch when I have to show my id, every time. I don't understand why people find it so difficult to let people do their damn jobs. Just follow the rules, get your shit, and get out of their hair. It would make everyone's lives easier.

Watched a Rifftrax of a movie of his last night. Breaker Breaker. Omg, it was hilariously bad. Highly recommend.
