1. The best way to show your kid how to socialise is to do it yourself. Not wearing headphones.

  2. Could I ask why you chose to ignore the parts where I said I chat/play with the kids and parents and brought up how it's important to focus on chatting with other parents?

  3. Because that's the part I have an observation to make about. To me those two things are a direct contradiction. Wearing headphones is not showing your child how to be social. And honestly I cannot imagine wearing headphones at a social occasion being anything other than rude. It clearly signals you find something else more interesting and don't want to talk to anyone. 

  4. Thank you for the suggestion. Best of luck to you and your family.

  5. As adult, you should be able to 1) remember to go to the bathroom before entering class, 2) respect the rules that other adults establish for the integrity and continuity of the learning environment.

  6. Lol what?! Do you say this about your job, too?? You gotta take a shit or piss at work, well you as an adult, should be able to remember to use the bathroom before work? Jesus, and at college, you pay THEM. You can't take a shit when you need to as a paying customer? What a fucking racket.

  7. At my college the doors locked behind you if you walked out. So you're screwed if you needed that lecture or had an assignment to turn in. I could be misremembering but I think they would even count it as an absence, and three of those meant you were dropped from the class

  8. Where??? I've been to a couple and none of them gave a shit (US). It was always "Give us your money. Show up if you want or whatever but we'll also fail you for not showing up so we can take more of your money when you have to retake the class"

  9. Uhhhh, I love horror movies. Nothing phased me before kids. I never cried in movies or shows. I sometimes wondered if I was dead inside or something was wrong with me. I could watch a baby eaten by zombies and go "oh shit, sucks for that baby".

  10. I wish I could have frozen myself at 32. That is the perfect age to me. I'm 38 now and I am certainly not falling apart and doing well, but I am sadly feeling a certain decline. I think at 32, I hit the perfect point where I was extremely fast at picking up any new concept or tech but also mature enough to be patient with others and handle hard conversations with diplomacy. At 32, my weight was still much easier to manage and exercise went a lot further when it came to results and gains. At 38, it's similar ...but I can feel it juuuuust a bit harder. I'm just a bit more tired. I need a 45 minute nap most days when I didn't before. I see this only getting worse as I age.

  11. You should set up weekends in a way where your husband takes the kids out for a couple hours on Saturday or Sunday, and then you do the same for him the other day of the weekend, to give each other recharge times. This works for my husband and I and maybe it will work for you as well?

  12. Reddit’s favorite pastime is fabricating scenarios that illustrate how superior they are to everyone they’ve ever interacted with.

  13. It must get annoying having people stand and clap for them everywhere they go.

  14. Maybe sweeping generalizations on people based on age, race and gender isn't the best route? My parents changed careers into entirely different fields in their 60's. My in laws just retired and started up hobbies they never could before while they were working...

  15. I am a woman but in my early 20's I could eat whatever. 5'7" 115lbs. If I put on a little weight, oh guess I'll skip a couple snacks and be back to original weight in a week. Mid 20's, I found exercise would keep my weight down but still climbed to 120lbs. Early 30's, no breakfast, tiny lunch, 125lbs. I'm 38 now, weigh 135lbs, I can only eat one meal a day just to maintain that... :( I'm not fat, but damn, I wish I was the weight I was the first time I thought I was "fat" 🤦‍♀️

  16. My husband likes weird shit I entertain, he does the same for me (and I tend to like rough sex). It's not every time for either of us, but we accept each other's kinks because we also really get off on pleasing each other.

  17. If they are counting on people who think like I do for customers then it is bankruptcy. If I ever walk into a fast food restaurant and see dynamic pricing I am walking out.

  18. People with no money are paying for doordash which is already doubling the cost of the already absurdly priced fast food these days. Pretty sure Wendy's is going after those same people.

  19. I've known someone like this. Don't care if they're depressed, sounds like they've had plenty of people telling him he needs therapy and offer him support. He's had every opportunity and it gets to a point where someone like this is just a fucking parasite and drain on the family and causing trauma and stress on everyone around them because they aren't being held accountable for their actions at all.

  20. Ugh, if you knew how many times I’ve told him that exact phrase. “Life is full of doing things you don’t want to do.” His response is just that it’s sad we’re all walking around doing a bunch of things we don’t want to do…. Lol

  21. Sometimes your same advice just doesn't matter to a teen because your their parent and they need to hear it from someone else, especially from a respected source, for the reality check.

  22. You guys always say shit like this like you can’t go down to Best Buy right now and leave with a basic ass flip phone for ~$20, lol.

  23. You people always say shit like this, like you don't have your perfectly giant ass tablet but not a tablet devices perfectly in tact.

  24. I never said I hated smart phones. Where did I say that?

  25. But don’t forget the majority of them still voted for Abbott. This is mind blowing to me.

  26. I think I understand why though. They voted for Abbott because Beto was anti gun. Most of those parents who wanted to save their babies didn't have guns because they depended on the police force, the ones with guns, to save them. The very people with guns who you'd think would be able to do something useful with them didn't do anything and even actively prevented other parents from saving their children.

  27. When I was in high school, I babysat for other parents I went to church with and they knew me so they felt comfortable with me watching their little ones for a few hours on the weekends. It would get me decent extra cash for very little "work" and I could do my homework when the kids were asleep. Some parents paid more than others but it was easy work and the parents loved me because I followed their rules (kids were always in bed asleep by the time parents showed up 😂)

  28. Twice a week. Sometimes it drops down to once due to sickness or whatever other nonsense life throws at us. We have a 6 year old and 11mo old. We both work full time. We're in our late 30's. Before kids it was like 4 times a week? He's always had a lower sex drive than mine if that is relevant at all.

  29. "Men who send unsolicited dick pics are unlikely to get what they are looking for". This is not necessarily true and spends on the number of pics sent out. If 1 in 12 respond positively on average then it's a game of numbers. Just like in job interviews, you don't stop applying just because you were rejected.

  30. From another perspective, its only 11 out of 12 women sexually harassed 🤷‍♀️

  31. Yeah I get it, and the sender is a piece of shit sexually harassing MOST people. I know you aren't advocating for them, but they are human trash imo. So glad it's becoming illegal nearly everywhere.

  32. Did Dad hear the whole conversation? Dad should have called his son out for it and mention Mom had it right and to apologize imo. It shows dad respects mom equally and it reinforces the expectation kid should respect mom as well.

  33. I'm not sure as I never tried it, BUT, I have certainly been retaliated against for rejecting managers and bosses in the past which arguably hurt my career a little 🤷‍♀️ I imagine there are definitely scenarios where sleeping with the right person can get you into higher level jobs than they would ever be in otherwise.

  34. Okay, the "seaweed and rice wrap" then 🤷‍♀️ but yeah, not a fan of giant rolls like this, it's usually not a good sign for the other food imo

  35. Maybe, you'd have to judge it for yourself. But I wouldn't say size correlates to quality of kimbap, if anything more people like larger rolls.

  36. We keep them on display for awhile and then as new ones come in we move the old ones to a bin or take them apart and put them in a Ziploc with the instruction booklet.

  37. Good luck with all the high and mightier than thou responses, op

  38. Yep, hated this book. We still read it though and explained that we should enjoy feeling special and our being special isn't taking away from others and what makes them special.

  39. I wouldn't attempt cio in the morning, BUT, we have also desperately wanted baby (11mo) to sleep a little longer in the mornings, so we've sometimes managed to get away with, diaper check, giving him a pacifier and gently laying him back down with his sleep machine on the mornings he seems to be waking up and hour earlier than he normally does (like 5-6am). We'll lie back down in our own bed and if he cries again in the next 5 minutes, we know he's ready to be up for good, if not, he's usually good to sleep another hour or two.

  40. I agree much of it is luck, but also, I've known so many people who simply don't understand why they aren't going anywhere or advancing.

  41. I (38f) was dating my now husband (37m) and knew I wanted a house and I could pull it off on my own after working out a budget. I started looking at houses with him but we ended up getting married and buying a house together in 2017 around when we turned 30. We both made decent money at the time, him and I both around 80k but live in a mcol-hcol location. We now make around 200k combined and have two kids. We have supportive parents, but they definitely didn't help with a down payment or monthly bills or anything.
