Yeah, this one’s tough to address because I wasn’t there when she said it. I heard it second hand from my husband. If I had been there, I definitely would have said something to her. For the most part she’s great, but my husband’s family culture is kinda like… They say things bluntly sometimes. My family was NOT like that growing up. I think there’s a happy medium to be found somewhere in there…
Sorry about your MIL. It’s great that you’ve set boundaries though.
We’re on kind of a tight budget right now, but it’s something I’ve considered.
I definitely feel like most baby boomers do not see neurodivergence or mental health challenges as legitimate. They don’t get how ADHD or depression or anxiety could cause someone to struggle so much with everyday tasks.
Thanks for responding. That’s an interesting way to frame it that I never thought of before - that cleaning is sort of a… talent, for lack of a better word. I guess I feel like there’s this expectation for everyone, especially women, to be super clean. But I’ve never been that person. I think I can do a little better but yeah I’m never gonna have knack for it per se.
My favorite part:
“I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?” Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.
Thanks for the rec! I’m not looking for anything too incredibly detailed, just a teensy bit more in depth than the videos I had been watching. I’ll give SciShow a try!
This is great, thanks! Lots of good stuff to read here.
Thanks so much for the textbook link!
Crash Course is the channel I was watching, specifically the Big History series. I LOVE Crash Course, but of course the nature of it is that they can’t get too detailed with any given subject. I kind of wish they drilled down into a couple of things more: 1) evolution of animals during the time between dinosaurs going extinct and the arrival of hominids, and 2) different types of hominids. So that’s the sort of stuff I want to learn about next.
Yessss. I loved this one. Can’t remember where I got it. Did they sell these at McDonald’s itself or were just at the store with other VHS?
The answer is yes, yes they are that desperate.
Off brand Bagel Bites are a big nope for me.
