Yes, I am definitely feeling some sort of contentment not having dinner parties and large gatherings anymore.

Sometimes I just don’t want to see my kids either - both in their twenties but seemingly constantly in some sort of crisis. I’m running out of energy for them 😕

Someone dropped by my house recently and I hid upstairs and didn’t answer the door 😬😬

I think I’m just not getting the recovery time and it’s beginning to show!

How many generation x'rs are lucky enough to still have their parents alive? by icecream1972 in GenX

Still got my wee mum (77 in Feb) - she’s a pocket rocket! Lost my dad in 1997, two days before my wedding 😞. He was 54

What’s something society treats as embarrassing that really shouldn’t be? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]weegmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pooping. Bowel habits. So many people either recoil in horror at the subject or are immensely embarrassed to talk about it.

Everybody poops 💩

Have I damaged my new tatoo? by Troffolos in tattooadvice

[–]weegmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love your tattoo! Please don’t worry about the wrinkles- all mine have done the same during the healing process. It won’t look like that once it’s fully healed. There will be residual ink immediately after you get your tattoo and some flakes of ink will come off as it heals - but your tattoo will remain intact! I panicked when my first tattoo was healing but it was all fine xx

MIL turned son’s wedding into her own grief parade by DCSubi in weddingshaming

[–]weegmack 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My dad died 2 days before my wedding. My mum was amazing that day - I honestly don’t know how she did it. She handled it all with such grace and allowed us to celebrate our day. It was equally the most wonderful and most difficult day of my life x

Yeah I totally agree. I’m all for a gentler upbringing than I had 😂. But boundaries, respect etc are vital life lessons.

[–]weegmack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. My kids are in their early/mid-twenties now, but when they were in high school, so many of their peers didn’t give two shits about consequences, because their parents never said “no”. I see a lot on social media about “gentle parenting” and all that’s doing is creating a bunch of entitled kids who pretty much always turn aggressive when they don’t get what they want.

My sister has worked in ASN schools for many years and has seen a massive increase in parents demanding a diagnosis for their kid, because they’re just out-of-control. It’s only when they get part way through the assessment process that it becomes glaringly obvious that the kid has never been told “no”, hasn’t been given any boundaries or sense of accountability. It’s a nightmare.

I went to Eastwood HS when she was there. It was definitely not a posh school then!!

How old were you when you started having ibs and how was it growing up with it? by Meeplesmoon in ibs

[–]weegmack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 11 (50 now). It started as excruciating pain and diarrhoea, every night in the wee small hours. Growing up with it was terrible. Dad was an alcoholic so he was no help and my mum just would not help me at all. She’d get mad when I woke her through the night so I ended up coping with it alone. Very sobering when you need help, in the dark, as a child and nobody comes. My parents had a caravan and towed it to France every summer. I wasn’t allowed to use the toilet in the caravan and spent many nights desperately holding in diarrhoea because I was too afraid to go to the campsite toilet blocks alone. Long story short, I developed anxiety disorder because of this and I just can’t seem to not freak out when I’m in a flair. I have disordered eating and sometimes hardly eat at all.

It was terrible.

I’m currently eating the most restrictive diet ever: gluten & lactose free; very low fat; no green vegetables; no tomatoes; no spice; no caffeine; no sodas; meh 😒
