I have a shared apartment and I must scream.
I can say with 100% certainly I’ve never lived next to you, cause the animals that have lived next to me…
Are you my ex husband or my ex roommate? Or are you my sister? Apparently everyone in my life gets to scream but me 🥹. I only get loud when playing in Halo multiplayer. God I miss kickboxing
I realised that protests are a cool way to channel some energy:)
What the fuck is your door made of? If an angry kick breaks it, I promise it ain’t $300
It ain’t, but the handyman you pay to install it is.
Interior doors are piss easy to take down/put up unless you fucked up the frame. Why would you pay someone to do that?
Cus you’re busy dealing with whatever caused the tantrum?
Uhhh
Note that IS with installation, but still. Doors ain’t super cheap.
Having dealt with HomeDepot contractors before, the true cost of replacing the door is:
Door + installation + re-installation by some who knows what the fuck they’re doing + materials
You’re not breaking a solid core door with a kick unless it’s well-placed and you’re trying to break it. Most of those still aren’t $300 in your link.
Ah link did not work correctly for some reason? Was filtered to non-solid, interior doors with fittings and etc. but it seems to have not done so. Pricing was showing 300+ for over half of them, but that was with installation. Point being it ain’t THAT far off.
Throwing a tantrum at 60: you vote for a fascist and crash the economy.
While making sure housing is unaffordable for everyone else cause you need your house to go up in value.
don’t forget you vote against every tax increase because fuck 'dem kids. you need to take out a reverse mortgage for your winnebago
and then cutting younger people’s real time pay then calling them lazy for not accepting 168 weeks.
This is privileged tantrum-having.
My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.
My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.
Yeah, if I’d have destroyed something in a tantrum, I just wouldn’t have had that thing anymore. It didn’t even matter if we could afford a replacement or not - I wouldn’t get anything my parents couldn’t trust me with.
65: Kids are out of the house, you have some money to fix a broken door, but you’re just too damn tired to go breaking things or screaming about it. Also, the reason for the tantrum happened 30 years ago. So you tell your family a pointless, rambling, mind-numbingly boring story about it at Thanksgiving, instead.
feeling good about my parenting skills, my kid’s tantrums are getting shorter and shorter. she screams, cries, kicks her legs, all on the floor. She only gets anything once she starts to be calm.
She gets things after a tantrum once she is calm again or not at all then?
Let’s say she wants to play with crayons when it’s time to eat. If she starts throwing a tantrum, I lie her down on the ground and don’t pay attention to her, except to say “we will hug and go get your fruit when you are calm”. When the tantrum is finished, I ask her “are you calm?” and if she says yes, we hug, I clean her up, and give her the fruit.
Until she calms down, I don’t pay attention to her, except to re-iterate that she will have more stiumulus once she is calm.
Do you offer a calming service? That sounds so nice. What kind of fruit?
Lol, people can’t afford to have kids by 30. What universe is this post from?
Lol, people can’t afford to have kids by 30.
I can guarantee you
- People have kids whether they can afford them or not
- Different levels of social integration lead to different support structures for child-rearing which leads to different life stages when people can/do have kids at different financial points.
Some still do tho.
Yeah. The kid-making process is actually pretty cool.
Only like two thousand people can afford anything now. The rest of us can’t afford shit, but we do em anyway
The other 3/4 of world population probably.
Had mine at 28, now 30. The kid has been the most affordable thing about my life the last 2 years. It wasn’t the kid that demanded to switch strollers on a weekly basis and it wasn’t the kid who threatened suicide and all kinds of other things when I didn’t buy shit.
I’m making do on 50 hours of work a month, give or take, until I can get my kid to reliably stay at kindergarten for multiple hours per day. My ex is not paying any child support AND is still getting the small monthly national child support payments that every kid gets until the age of 18 or 19 or something. It does help that I have a family home that was empty already so I only need to pay to heat this big old house (not cheap) and I have some support from my mom who occasionally helps out with clothes and other expenses.
When I also had to pay the entire upkeep of my ex and her other child (who, to be fair, also didn’t cost that much to feed and clothe, despite my ex only buying Nike, Guess and other overpriced brands for her), I was working 200+ hours a month AND getting essentially an entire national median salary in parental pay (first 1.5 years after child is born) and still had to keep borrowing more and more money from friends. Would’ve been enough money to COMFORTABLY raise 5-6 children with anyone other than my ex, pretty much. This while my ex didn’t work since BEFORE the pregnancy started. In fact, the pregnancy was her plan to keep me around.
So I’d argue that a lot of people could afford to have kids by 30 as long as they do it with the right partner. A lot of my friends make more money than I ever did, while my own income was a “holy shit” moment for some of my other friends and family when I came clean about everything going on in my life, particularly what my ex did to my finances. Of course my country is more affordable too, I don’t live in the US. Kindergarten is less than 100 EUR a month, kid now eats mostly the same stuff I do (no more special baby foods to spend on, besides formula which is pretty affordable, I use locally made stuff) and grows fairly slowly so I don’t have to buy new clothes every single month. Diapers are still an expense and will be for a few more months at least, but that’s also 50-60 EUR a month, not more.
When I was 16 the phone was wired to the wall.
they were damn near indestructible. slam hard, np
Yeah if I threw my Nokia 3210 I think I’d take out a support beam.
Those fucking cord tangles GOD DAMN IT!!!
Hi, my names Kyle, I’m 6 white Monster drinks deep, and I’m ready for a crashout if I lose this next CoD match and derank.
I mean, this is why social media is full of videos of dudes sitting in their trucks complaining about how everyone’s crazy now.
Throwing a tantrum as a parent: Just tell your kid you’re strict, then scream at them for every little thing.
Ah yes, perfect post for the “funny” community.
I’m getting 2meirl4meirl vibes
Living a life of quiet desperation.
As illustrated here:
My favorite pic of Ben Afleck. You can feel the air in this picture.
I wonder if he hates that this is the picture of him people feel most expression from, instead of one of the films he busted his ass to make
Hes just a private person. He doesnt like fame and he feels awkward dealing with strangers. He has talked about it a bit on podcasts recently when his second Accountant movie came out.
at 30 the kids just broke the door and phone
I do not think I ever threw a tantrum that that destroyed property (I probably tried as a toddler, but I did not have the strength).
This is why therapy is penny foolish and pound wise. Your parents should have been paying for a therapist to teach you not to throw tantrums, not simply paying to fix the house every time you smashed it up.
Sure, yeah, if said parents weren’t among the oppressed working-class, seeking validation in every waking moment and expecting rug-pull ambushes & “accredited” charlatans around every corner.
I mean, sheeyit. Your username alone references a fully-ratfucked concept in a candied-up exceptionalism shell that, essentially, gave the US “education” system free license to segregate & target the variably disabled youth of that era.
The salient matter is not “if only (your) parents did (this), instead”. It’s the same crab bucket, different crabs. Lather, rinse, repeat.
At least I wasn’t born in their era. The “exceptional” kids got a free visit to 'Nam. 😶
(see Project 100,000)
First of all, I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to my user name.
Second of all, parents living paycheck to paycheck are not buying their kids a new phone and a new door every time their child has a hard day at school and decides to blow off steam by smashing up the house.
Working class kids should learn not to throw destructive tantrums as toddlers, when they rip the head off a toy and their parent glues it back together, crooked, instead of buying them a new one.
TAG means “Talented And Gifted” it’s a program at school for kids who test especially well
And “test especially well” is code for “on the spectrum” before that was a thing. We were counted as abnormal at best, and subhuman in general, but told to our gullible little faces that we were “special”, “gifted”, “talented”, young geniuses-to-be “with so much potential” …Let’s not propagate the bullshit, hmm?
I was one of those kids too, I always suspected neurodivergence but I’m in my 30s now so I’m just ignoring it 😎
Good to know. Never heard that abbreviation before.
+1 for sheeeeeeyit
