Louder for those in the back! :>

Well said

as the child of a single mom i think its actually a complement towards moms they're like super heroes

... I understand and agree with this, but this does not apply to all single mothers. It is possible for them to have split but both still take care of the child, or for the woman to be a widow. You can also not be single while your child has an absentee father. Basically yes, there is nothing wrong with being a single mother, but no, these two terms are not interchangeable

Because it could be? And single mother is shorter

Wait... Does "single mother" realy imply this? English is not my first language...

first of all, not all single parents are single mothers. There are a lot of single fathers who are working equally hard to provide a loving home for their children. Secondly how is using the term single parent assigning any blame? How is it blaming the mother/ father who stayed raising the child and why assume that a father is necessarily absent...

Yes! This needs to be normalized ASAP.

Who are you describing the children or the mother? Linguistically it makes no sense...

I RAISED my standards and am having the most emotionally contented time of my life chugging wine with my cats instead of being the physical and emotional punching bag for men who NEVER deserved me.

Louder for those in the back! Sad this is even a thing :(

I ADORE her shirt

AMEN SAY IT LOUDERRR

I absolutly HATE! When people say 'thats not my job' to things that clearly are! You chose to be a parent so it IS your job to work with your spouse to take care of your kids, its not the sole job of one or the other its a team effort... chores too

we can't win

Everyone needs time for self care.

Was everyone an adult? Was it consensual? Then it's none of my business.

Maybe he could learn to cook for himself instead.

This is also what the fat acceptance movement is about. We just wanted to be treated like human beings, the same as non-fat people are.

This is so true. It's important to talk about unrealistic romance expectations because they're so present in so much media, especially in stuff that's typically geared toward teens or women. Which is not to say there's anything wrong with the genre so much as it needs to be talked about just like unrealistic body expectations.

As long as you can manage your life, who freaking cares what you do in your spare time?

i wake up at 3:50 am every morning

The media-push to make money from insecurities affects men too.

Men get scarily angry and abusive if you're a woman he doesn't want to f*ck.

Personally I don't want to look like a Barbie doll and don't see the appeal. But then I make a poor target for this sort of thing anyway.

we love ourselves

I hated my body for many years and agonized that I could never get below 150lbs (and I only got to 150-something by starving myself and running 4-5 miles multiple times a week). As it turns out, I would have to be emaciated for that ever to happen; even when I was doing my best to starve myself, I just don't have the build to meet modern beauty standards. The military has NOT helped things, since if you fail weigh-ins, the tape measure system is completely broken; I'd have to surgically remove part of my pelvis to pass the rope-n-choke as we call it.

Don't forget the white noise generator!

Normalize answering this question honestly. If you're not okay but don't wanna talk about it, ask for support!

i named mine Jason! (i got it on friday the thirteenth)

we love BOUNDARIES they rule and tbh every time I have a boundary convo with my gf we get closer
