Dads of reddit, how did you feel when you held your own bab for the first timey? I feel like it isn't talked about enough. Joy? Fear? Immense urge to protect? Maybe nothing. No judgement zone 🫶
neither of my parents ever hugged me or told me its gonna be okay. at some point i verbally asked my mom to at least give me some comfort she said it doesn't solve any of my problems so its useless. how emotionally unavailable can one be. I cant go to them with my issues because I know I will always be faced with scrutiny no matter what. It should not be difficult to hug your toddler, or comfort your teen. Just one lousy "i believe in you" ffs. I am 21 now so it doesn't really matter. it's lost. I am crying.
"Real life is different". What's one sterotype about men that you think TV shows/social media exaggerates or just downright falsely enforces?
as the title says, what can a woman do for you after a hard day(of work or otherwise) to take the load off your shoulders?
and i am not talking about anything sexual😄we know hardly none of men say no to a good head😂 i am talking intimate in another way.
Edit: a lot of men wondered why I excluded sex. Sex is important, sex is nice, very highly intimate AND appreciated by almost all, including me and all the men i personally know. Thats the thing. I know for majority (maybe i am wrong with "majority") its a nice unwind tecnique, but at the same time i wanna acknowledge that sex is not the only thing men consider being womens' love language. Comments in here are proof of that. We all are human. I just want to read what else men think is helpful. I am not discrediting sex, I would be the last to do so XD. Thanks for understanding 🫶
Call or interrogation? We don’t know. I am sick of this woman. I am 21; I have a life outside of you. If you find my previous post, which I will link, it was also about her. It’s like I have to drop everything I’m doing the second she wants me to.
I understand no one loves her or likes her, and she is a narcissist who physically needs attention to survive, and that’s probably why she had kids. But that’s completely on her. I try to be uninteresting to her; it does not work.
Literally, I’m going to quote our conversation:
“Sorry, I was busy.”
“With what?”
“Cleaning the house.”
“Why aren’t you in your lectures?”
“I didn’t have any today.”
“How come?”
“We just don’t.”
“Why are you cleaning instead of studying?”
“I made a mess and I had to clean up.”
“Okay. I just wanted to know why you didn’t call me.”
It’s always “why”—why, when, where—why, why, why. Do I have to teach you like ABC? I am a responsible 21-year-old. I never got lost without your lousy presence; I think I’m going to be fine.
And she acts so offended when I put some boundaries. She says, “Put boundaries with everyone, but not with me,” which is ironic, because I don’t need this many boundaries with anyone but her, since people around me are adequate.
Once I turned off my WhatsApp “last seen,” and she blocked me for two weeks because of it, because apparently I’m hiding something. Best two weeks of my entire life. But she harassed me with messages afterward to the point where I had to turn it back on.
She frames it as, “I am worried, I just want to know.” Bullshit. You’re not worried about me; you’re worried about your loss of control. I have to hide everything good in my life from her, and she makes it hard.. by the way the message in question was literally about nothing, so no urgency. I just wanna be left alone without her crying and rolling on the floor about how she is a worried mother with such an ungrateful daughter! You weren't worried for 2 weeks and no one died. I dont need you. I dont need this woman. When will she leave me alone. Please if you have any advice on how the hell can I at least lower her presence in my already hard life tell me
