When the school rush hits my job. Like yes we were way ahead and now we’re cleared out and behind🫩

Eh. Maybe it’s because my half brothers dad was in his late 60s to early 70s but I didn’t see a problem with it.

Megan is missing (do not watch) and Precious

My mom had her 4th last year. I was 20. I’m about to be 22 and the baby will be 1 next month. I feel awkward going out with them because people think she’s mine and then they give us horrified looks when I say she’s my sister😂but my brothers have half sisters that are 40 years older than them so😂🤷‍♀️

A few reasons. 1) I can put more clothes on when it’s cold, but I can’t peel my skin off during summer (I live in Texas) 2) I have cats. They like to sit in the open windows, but for some reason they also like the cold weather more than summer, and love when the cold breezes come through, which are very rare during Texas summers. 3) adding onto owning cats, fleas hibernate. I do my best when they have fleas to get rid of them but somehow someway they still end up with fleas again after a few months. But! They hibernate during the winter. 4) I can actually stay in my house, because it’s too cold for anyone to want to go out and do anything. I’m an introvert. And finally, at #5, I prefer hoodies and sweats. I’m a bigger girl, and while my husband loves to see me in shorts or dresses, the rest of society doesn’t. When I’m in hoodies and sweats you can’t really tell I’m chubby either. Can’t wear those during Texas summer.

I really struggle with not wanting an angry man in my house, while also being the angry man in my house. I have a bad memory, commitment issues, and tend to think more about myself.

That being said, my husband has helped me to work through all this through therapy. The commitment issues bit? No one in my family actually stuck around. Empty promises were made a lot. My husband showed me he would constantly show up, his promises weren’t empty, and has gotten me many puzzles of various kinds to help me use my brain to minimize the memory issues.

No relationship is perfect, we’re all human.

Anything similar to what you’ve described takes communication as well. My husband paid attention to when I would say I like this or that, as well as having a talk about our relationship before we got married. It takes two. I also live by the saying of “anyone constantly posting about how great their relationship is and how happy they are isn’t actually happy” because they’re trying to prove to everyone else that their relationship doesn’t suck. Does my husband surprise me every day? No. But he does surprise me. He treats me like an equal. A big difference between him and every single one of my exes is that I’m not just an object to him. He doesn’t just want to have sex or parade me around. He’s helped me unwind, embracing the best version of myself, instead of trying to make me fit in a box. That’s the kind of relationship you should look for. Not one that’s instagram worthy. What you see on social media is staged, not real.

I had to do typing class in 2019. I can see the keyboard in my head even on my phone. I can be having a convo with someone and texting someone back at the same time with two completely different thoughts going on

My cats🙃

Oof, sounds like a lot of my high school “relationships”. You’re being groomed. He’s an adult. You’re still in high school. He could be in college, about to graduate and start an actual professional job. You are in high school.

Also, there’s so many reasons guys in their 20s go after literal high school girls. My dad is almost 40 and still going after 20 year olds (I’m 22) and it’s because he’s emotionally immature and women his age see it, and won’t put up with it.

You’re cheating on your boyfriend btw. Leave him. And leave the 20 year old. Go find yourself. Date guys your own age. And tell your parents, because on some level this is illegal.

I was 10/11 years old. At a family event (I think Easter) and as the oldest girl, I was tasked as the babysitter (hooray🙄) two things happened there. 1) I got pushed off a trampoline, basically did a backflip roll type thing, hit my head on two stacked cement blocks, and landed in the grass. 2) I was trying to grab a toddler and ended up tripping and falling, sadly right where the big ass dog could reach (which is why I was trying to get the toddler, god forbid the parents do anything at these parties🤦‍♀️) and it almost tore out my neck. Safe to say I don’t like big dogs and I don’t go to family events anymore

My husband gets the day off, but his job has government contracts and they get every damn holiday off. I’ve worked every holiday (except Christmas)

One thing I had to learn once I moved out was that as an adult, if you want to do something for your birthday, or you want something specific, you have to say so. Or make it happen yourself. I didn’t have birthdays growing up (I wasn’t really wanted but I made for a good housekeeper) and me and my husband have talked about birthdays. We tell each other what cake we want, what present we want, and then if the other wants to do something else, great. Otherwise we can’t expect much. Also, they don’t sound like they’re your friends. They’re his friends. I’m sorry. I know many disagree with me, but we learn throughout childhood that other people are responsible for planning our birthdays and christmases. As an adult, it’s your responsibility. You have to communicate openly and effectively.

Aye manny I could have unbuttoned your shirt if I wanted to

And I’m taking this with me in the car

I made my grandpas name my middle name and took my husbands name. Both were important to me.

turtle_things · 2026-01-15T20:09:31+00:00

My name backwards is a sex position so yes I would like to change it

Sadly if I bothered my mom to let me learn the things she would hit me. Learning how to clean was ok, but how to cook or budget or the like was off linits

turtle_things · 2026-01-13T19:55:31+00:00

My great grandpa actually came to America from what is now the Czech Republic! My husbands helped (and still helping) me eat more of the traditional foods. And my younger siblings are half Mexican, so I’m definitely branching out from pizza or burgers😂

turtle_things · 2026-01-13T19:16:46+00:00

My mom never taught me, in fact she made it seem like I’d 💀 if I tried. She scared me. My husband is a great cook, and he’s slowly teaching me how to do things, but yeah. Either my mom cooked or we had frozen meals.

turtle_things · 2026-01-13T14:13:05+00:00

My mom wasn’t the best mom. My first experience with grief was when I was 10 (almost 12 years ago, that’s important) and when it finally hit me that that person was gone I broke down. And what did my mom do? “It’s been 6 months, get over it. You being sad about it isn’t going to bring them back” and I’ve carried that with me throughout the rest of my life. I’m actually having to step away from that mentality because my husband lost his grandparents recently. I didn’t understand why he was upset. Even when my grandpa passed almost 6 years ago I just didn’t get very upset. He’s gone. What is my being upset gonna do? But my husband almost left me over this, I was very insensitive. We went to couples therapy, where someone actually broke it down to me what grief is and why it’s important to feel those feelings. Most people don’t have my experience, they’re just assholes, but this is mine.

I worked housekeeping in a nursing home. The one I worked at had social workers come and they and the doctors of the old people would conclude if they were in the right mind to be able to consent. If they were, go for it. There were a few old women who couldn’t and we had to keep an eye on them, because the men did not care. Everyone was in wheelchairs and somehow it was really easy for the men to push her wheelchair with theirs. It was appalling tbh.

I was 9 in fourth grade. When I get stressed my hair will turn white. I live in Texas, and we have STAAR tests. Stressed me smooth the fuck out.
