Like how? This is not even ONCE A MONTH! 😩🥴 I cannot do anything. Not one single thing when I wake up before brushing my teeth. Maybe this person is unsheltered?
Re the person whose friends don’t reach out: hang in there. Tell them. And if they don’t change, change something. Join a happy hour, go to a workout class, etc. Find new friends bc you deserve to be treated better.
Yeah - re: the intro of the email about people hating Morher’s Day, I don’t think the day can really get better for whom it bothers. Childfree life is amazing. Only around the holiday, though, I relate to the person who’s happy she and her husband aren’t having kids, but feeling left behind. More difficult still when your own incredible mom has died. The key is just keeping away from social media.
I was buying cat litter on Saturday and the cashier (who I know was just trying to be nice), sent me off with, "And happy Mother's Day! You're a mom, too!" I really wanted to reply, "Having a cat is not being a mom!" but it didn't seem worth it. But seriously. Pets are not children.
This. I have plenty of animals. I jokingly call myself their “daddy” but I am in no way a father and people who say otherwise are disrespecting REAL parents.
Reading this as a father, calling it "played out" seems a little much. I think in this case, everyone on both sides needs to stay in their lane and drop all judgment (which I know is hard to do).
I think the 10-times-a-year teeth brushing confession broke something in all of us
It owns real estate in everyone's head at this point, I think about it constantly
Between that and not washing sheets.. I’m 💀
SAME. We are not ok.

HMU if those last two spoke to your soul.

Nothing hits quite like Exit Interview Honesty after a resignation, I'm so happy for you.

It could definitely get better for some of the confessions (that I didn't include) which seemed petty.
I can imagine lol! You really do see quite a slice of humanity. Love these lists.

The sheet ones ALWAYS get me
I say ChatGBT but not at all thinking LGBT. Isn’t that what the tool is called? What am I missing?

Not washing sheets in a year is just absolutely TERRIBLE. 🤮
The German word is called “Heimweh” when you miss home and are sad, that you are not at home currently.
Thank you! Part of the reason I included that one was in hopes of someone knowing it.
Easier to know as native speaker
Is whoever confessed to brushing their teeth more than 10 times a year okay
This is a reference to a much-criticized confession from last week
