OtherWe are living in a complex, and have a small garden within for ourselves. There are bushes planted by the complex, but they are not super high, so you can see the neighbours in their own garden, and from the shared inner garden-space. A neighbour complained to me, for sitting in only a shirt, no bra in our "patio"/own garden. I am a bit scared they will complain on the shared Facebook group...
OtherMy(27f) gym has temporarily closed down so i'm trying to workout at home. I've been running around 9pm most nights. It's cold where I live so I run in leggings, a long sleeve workout shirt, and a buff to keep my ears warm. When I go to the gym i'll wear a sports bra so nothing is noticeable if you know what i mean. I don't need to wear one. I can jog comfortably without one so when i'm running...
RelationshipI’m a 27yo (F) and I work as a piercer in a parlour. Recently, this girl came into the shop with her boyfriend and told me that she wanted to get both of her n***les pierced. As I was helping her pick out the jewellery she wanted for her piercings, I noticed that the entire time her boyfriend was just sulking behind her. He kept asking her if she really had to get her n***les pierced and was o...
RelationshipI had a playdate with my friend this morning with our babies and my LO napped in the car on the ride home so I stopped for coffee to extend her nap (so napped from 9:30-10am) and she was fed at 9:20 before I left the play date. I get home and my husband immediately tries feeding her. I tell him she just woke up from a nap and she’s probably not hungry because she just ate before it. He said he ...
Family ConflictMy daughter is 17 months old. Being that she is a toddler, she would live in just her diaper if she could. When she's at home, we let her run free, and thus, most of our pictures are of her in just her diaper. My mother posts a lot of my daughter's photos on facebook, which I don't mind, but she is constantly editing little heart or smiley face stickers over my daughter's n***les. To me, this j...
OtherI have a 6 month old, and just started allowing visitors. My best friend came to visit and I texted her suggesting she wear a bra or a thick shirt if she plans to hold my son because he grabs n***les, very hard and my friend has hers pierced and has told me they’re super sensitive. I explained this to her and she ignored my messages but she came over anyway, n***les poking through shirt and my ...
Family ConflictI (16m) have a younger sister (14f). Our parents always treated us differently because I'm a boy and she's a girl. They really don't want her to ever be disappointed and they'd always ask me to skip stuff or give up som**hing so she could do som**hing else or have som**hing else. Examples of that. If we both got invited to birthday parties on different days they'd ask me to skip it so she could...
OtherFuture SIL reached out to me because her washer broke and she wanted to come over and do a quick load of laundry. I wasn't thrilled about this, but I live close enough, I have in-unit, and the laundromats in our area are not the safest. I was content to just watch TV silently in my tiny apartment while we waited, but she of course had som**hing to discuss. I thought for sure she'd be the third ...
Family ConflictI (16f) have a younger sister (15f) who's spoiled by our parents because she was born pr****urely and almost didn't make it. She was way too early and spent a lot of the first few years of her life in hospital (the first year) and then in and out of hospital until she was like 6 or 7. Our gave her everything she wanted and went all out for Christmas, birthdays and any little thing they could. ...
Family ConflictMy dad and I (17M) don't have the greatest relationship and never really had. It was one of the reasons my parents divorced and he was always very emotionally distant with me. That hasn't really changed. He started dating Mona two years ago and they're expecting a baby together. Her pregnancy has been really complicated so she was hospitalized several weeks ago and she hasn't come out of the h...
OtherMy (28f) husband (29m) and I welcomed a set of triplet boys that were born so pr****urely we were told to not expect them to survive. My SIL was also pr****nt at this time and carried her son to full term. Anyway, after a very very long NICU stay and many appointments, all 3 boys are home and doing very well! My parents have been very involved with the triplets care and if it weren't for them ...
Family ConflictMy parents got divorced almost 8 years after my sister, who was 3 at the time, d*ed. I was 10 at the time. When my sister d*ed my dad treated mom like ga***ge. He turned emotionally and verbally abusive and blamed my mom for my sister's death. He'd do this in front of me, as well as plenty of name calling. My sister was born pr****urely and even though it wasn't super early she had an issue wi...
