It depends entirely if you’re living like an adult who takes care of their own life stuff or if you’re still having mommy do your laundry for you.

Multi-generational living can definitely work and be healthy.

Oh they don’t staff the stores well enough for these locks either. You can go into a Target in any big city on the west coast and you’ll see the locked cabinet doors left wide open because they don’t have enough people to respond.

Are you relying on your own nose or someone else’s?

they are married, some with children, own their own condos, houses, or are paying a mortgage, but can still live a normal life, own a car, some even have the luxury of not having to work 40 hours a week, but 32 because they don’t need to work more, house already paid, family and life objectives achieved.

Do you actually want these things as well or do you just feel inferior when comparing your life to theirs?

You have more money stashed than the majority of people in the US. You could do practically anything you wanted to with enough conviction and a steady job and that much in savings.

The only person you should be comparing yourself to is your past self. Life isn’t a competition, you’re meant to find joy within it. That’s where I would start if I were you.

Being banned from Reddit is honestly a badge of honor for the most part lol

Lemmy is very reminiscent of early Reddit and 4chan in certain ways.

I decided to be the change I wanted to see here instead.

Kid and I each rounded a corner in the house and literally ran into each other. We had a hearty laugh! I love hearing his joy.

Who got this exclusive interview with Grimes?

Depends on how many people are in the home as well.

I live with a household of people who do not make their beds. It’s hard to explain the immense satisfaction I get slipping into a perfectly made bed. It takes all types hahaha

Ha, well thanks for answering! That’s certainly a way to do it :D

As they walk by the room through the day, they get to see a well made bed and feel a bit better about the state of their affairs generally, thinking better of themselves and expecting more of themselves.

Having a well kept space feels like it keeps my head clearer as well. It’s easier to think in a clean and organized space and I feel more at ease when the items around me are in their place. I know when I’m struggling mentally, my home ends up falling apart and it’s truly a reflection of my well being.

I think you absolutely nailed it with your comment on how some other people treat tidying up.

Making a bed? Never done once in adult life. Complete waste of time for me. washing bedsheets and blankets, obviously yes we have to do that

Well now I’m curious - you don’t make the bed when putting on the clean sheets and blankets?

Routine is probably the most important part of building a cleaning habit. I’m very similar in that there’s a certain level of untidiness that is perfectly acceptable in my home. Gotta keep on top of everything somewhat so that there isn’t health consequences, mental or physical.

Once a week floor cleaning and washing up kitchen surfaces after use are really, really normal levels of cleaning.

Like yeah, the floors could probably go longer than that, but not by much.

It was as big of a deal as Obama putting spicy mustard on his burger.

When I was much younger, I definitely would give in to other’s wants more easily than I do now and, looking back, I’m aware it was an effort to appease them more than making myself happy. They didn’t do anything wrong and neither did I, but if I could go back in time and say “No” instead, I would.

Relationships live in a lot of grey areas. That’s great that you’re relationships have been on equal footing in this regard :)

Yeah women resort to offering sex to their partners as rewards or to persuade them to be better partners because it’s often one of the only leverages we have inside of marriage. It’s unhealthy and it’s getting better with stronger women’s rights, but it makes sense how it happens within the framework of our society.

I still don’t know how these relationships end up turning like this.

The overwhelming message from society that women don’t enjoy sex and it’s only something that men want completely passed you by, hm?

It goes hand in hand with women being taught that our role is to make men happy first and foremost before we ever think about pleasing ourselves.

It turns sex into a tool of the oppressed against the oppressor which taints the beauty that is fully consensual sex.

Awww they’re so fluffy!!

Get paid to do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life ;)

They’re not mutually exclusive lol
