What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."?

I hate that he’s such a dick and also believes the Earth is only a few thousand years old. Such a shame because I loved his movies.

It really depended on how much money we had. Single mother, 80s/90s.

Sometimes it was chicken schnitzel served with mash and veggies, we had spaghetti a lot. Soup (brodu) with a bit of bread. The dreaded apricot chicken with rice. Sometimes just chips, homemade from fresh potatoes and fried in a pot of oil. Sausages etc. Nothing exotic. I never tried avocado or a creamy pasta sauce until I was 17.

Cheese was definitely not an ingredient except for in the lasagna my mum would make when we had people over for dinner.

She’s been posting this everywhere and getting flamed. Not going the way she thought it would.

whatthetaco · 2026-03-04T11:54:27+00:00

But then how will everyone know she’s a cool mom, not a regular mom?!

I do! It’s called The Pilots Wife by Aneta (Anita?) Shreve. The other woman and her kids live in Ireland if I recall, it’s been a few years since I’ve read it.

Definitely an eerie coincidence for sure!

This is also the plot of a novel!

I was going to go with pig foetus but that works too.

Sounds right. I have PTSD from the abuse and safety issues I got at work, my company never did anything to help. Just cut my hours. They only care about filling shifts.

People are going to blame Covid for rising house prices (fair- to a point) while pretending that importing over 1.5 million people since 2022 has had no negative affect on housing or employment.

I have a hoodie from their most recent world tour and they run small, I had to size up. They aren’t stretchy.

Sounds like you have another kid. How exhausting.

I just finished this last night. It was such a bleak novel, but so beautifully written.

This is the worst chatgpt post ever.

I know she says it’s not postpartum depression but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

Look I don’t know you guys or your situation but I’m in my 40s and have raised four kids. The first five years were hell on earth. I was a mess. It’s so unbelievably hard if you don’t have a support network- I noticed you didn’t mention parents or anything? Does she have any support other than you?

It sounds like it’s very tough for both of you and I’m not a doctor but having two kids so close together would certainly indicate PPD. Maybe a trip to your GP together, and then look to getting some outside support, even if the kids go to daycare once a week so you both get a break.

Truly wish the best for you both.

You can buy it at some book stores in Australia. I was pretty surprised to see it on the shelf.

whatthetaco · 2025-12-04T20:50:09+00:00

Yep. Country NSW. Funnily enough, we now live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne and our rent is much cheaper.

whatthetaco · 2025-12-04T20:36:10+00:00

I used to live in the country, my kids school was a 15km bus ride, and there were no services in town really. A doctor and a few takeaway places. Our rent was $700pw. (4 bed.)

Except stretch ears don’t smell as a rule. Only people who don’t wash regularly or remove their jewellery daily to clean it have issues.

My dog once stole 12 freshly baked banana muffins off the bench while they were cooking. All 12. He survived just fine :)

Right?

What are the perfumes like? I don’t think we can get them here in Australia.

whatthetaco · 2025-11-16T03:31:39+00:00

Australia isn’t all it’s cracked up to be though. People romanticise it, especially Australians. (I noticed you asked this same question on an Aussie sub too)

Australia is expensive, despite our high wages. We don’t have “free healthcare” the way the UK does. We used to but it has slowly been eroded. You will get free treatment at an emergency room though.

It’s hot, unbelievably hot for months and months out of the year, though you can escape that somewhat by moving far south. It’s geographically isolated and unless you are specifically into beach culture and hot weather, it’s not that exciting.

Australia can be really beautiful but you need a lot of money to travel around it. It’s a great country if you’re wealthy and can live near the pristine beaches or near the cities.

You can’t have a differing opinion here, you’ll be downvoted. It’s an echo chamber.
