I sort of have most of my husband's passwords because he's not great at computers, and I constantly have to fix stuff. Plus, I set up his email (domain name, etc...) and password.
And you know what? What if it IS high self esteem that causes kids to cut a toxic parent out of their lives?!?
Yes!!!!
I stopped taking to my dad when I was 18. For a very good reason. I'm pretty sure he knew/knows why, as he tried calling me once or twice and never tried again. Because of a few clueless people trying to tell me "blood is blood" or whatever, I just now tell people he's dead.
I had a co-worker do some of this shit to me, back in the day. We were both married (to other people) and he would tell me the various things we would do together. "I will take you to lunch tomorrow!"
I loved it all, but I think my favorite was when Tina said "It took me three hours to look like a human woman." (something like that. THANK YOU TINA!)
He is just... almost painfully good looking.
Why does he look so confused in every pic?
There was a period of time, mostly in my 20s, where EVERYONE who left a message for me would say "You're probably still sleeping," or "You're probably still in bed..."
I've only taken Uber a handful of times, and have never felt uncomfortable EXCEPT for the last time. I was out meeting friends, and a bit buzzed. Around 1am, I called for an Uber (feeling a bit nervous about it from all the sexual assault reports) and was super relieved my Uber driver was going to be a woman.
Saw this with my daughter (who's 5), and... Yes to all of this.
I was in a wedding where all the presents were stolen.
When I was a kid (until around age 12 or so), I was a real "tomboy." Wore boy clothes, short hair, and insisted on being called Jesse. My parents were actually pretty cool about this (only I was forced to wear a dress every Wednesday because they were worried about my "gender confusion.")
I was/am also a non-Christian (atheist). I remember how shocked I was when I found out Santa/Christmas had anything to do with Jesus and/or religion. I'd no idea.
Another time we were at DLand and got some popcorn. My daughter asked for it politely and then thanked the guy (as is her wont). When I went to pay him he said it was no charge because she was the first kid to thank him that day.
Exactly! Don't threaten stuff you're not completely ready & willing to carry out. I always do a count to 3, while calmly telling my daughter exactly what I want her to do and what the punishment will be. I can't remember the last time I got to 3. It's not rocket science!
I was at Disneyland (with my daughter) and this dude & his daughter was in line with us. We'd been waiting for kind of a long time and were nearing the front and his kid was acting up a bit. "Do that one more time, and you're not going on that ride," he said. They were next to go on the ride when the kid did it again.
I was 20. I'd been DYING to have sex, but I was super nerdy and shy and it was hard finding someone who I was attracted to to do it with (I'm from Boston, and MAN that accent is off-putting!)
It was what it was. Not great. Didn't hurt, though, which I was relieved by. Afterwards, he said "Don't worry... it gets…
