My favorite is when the removable cup falls out of the bra. Had it happen in my 20s, male boss says, "what's this?" about foam bra cup in center of office floor. It was a first job and I was mortified. Thought quickly and said, "oh, my shoulder pad must have fallen out." Can't say that anymore...lol

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times. What's hilarious is that they have a tiny little hole so you can supposedly remove them and put them back in. It's so hard to do. No way I am gonna do that every time I wash them. I take them out and throw them away. I don't even know what purpose they have except to maybe keep your nips from showing through. What a waste. I wish they'd just add the appropriate padding in a permanent fashion.

I do a lot of the laundry in my house, the first time I saw these (lose in the wash) I thought they were shoulder pads... Then I started assuming they were from bras. Eventually I saw my wife putting one back in a sports bra, and now I know what they are. I like figuring things out on my own without having to ask.

What I do is anchor them in when I first buy them. A large triple stitch at the the and the sides of the cups on the inside and then only wash them in a lingerie bag so there is minimal movement. A bit of a hassle but so worth it.

* groan * RTFM. The pads come out because they can be washed on a different temperature when you're lactating, so you don't turn your bra into doll clothing. What on earth did she think the pads were FOR?

This is so true it hurts really bad. And u lose 1 then it's uneven u end up tearing the other out viciously then save it aside hoping u can find its pair. And sometimes the roll up n get all disformed and then poof, u can never wear those boob pads again. I had 1 that i washed it couldn't find 1 of the pads for ever n then realized...... both were somehow in 1 side of the Bra.

Either way, you can never get them back in correctly. Or if you can it takes an hour.

Is this really a problem that a few brain cells can't resolve? I'm sorry I try my best to be nice and give people the benefit of a doubt. But come on. Take them out if you don't want them. Put a stitch or two in it if you want them to stay in place or take them out to wash your bra. Roll it up like a tube to slide it back in and let it unroll inside the cup.

“Let it unroll” doesn’t actually happen. The material of the bra itself is snug, so it doesn’t just magically “unroll” once placed inside. It’s a whole dance and struggle to get it straightened. And I think the hope before that first wash is that perhaps THIS bra won’t have the same problem. But nope, boob hot dogs again. And “a few brain cells” shouldn’t be aimed at the consumer having to deal with poorly designed bras.

In the US, the number of families has been steadily increasing since the ‘60s. According to Statista, there are currently nearly 85 million of them in the country.
Heads of these families might say that parenthood is a gift that keeps on giving. There is nothing quite like watching your little ones take their first steps, say their first words, and develop their character. They might also state that a parent’s love is unconditional. Yet children will try to test it a gazillion times just to make sure.

Some parenting challenges have changed drastically since the good old days. In a 2020 survey, the Pew Research Center found that two-thirds of parents agree that raising children now is more difficult than it was two decades ago. They find it challenging to keep up with the rapid technological advancement. The surveyed people believe that it affects children as well, as they tend to have less patience and choose the virtual world over real-life interaction.

I worked in a daycare for a while. I had a kid that loved coming to the daycare. One day when his mom came to pick him up, he gave me a big wave goodbye as he's walking out the door to tell me how much fun he had that day. And then he walked straight into the edge end of the open door cause he wasn't watching where he was going. I felt loved too. ❤🙊
Parents worry about their kid’s online safety. Respondents of the Pew Research Center survey admit they are concerned about the messages their children receive and the abundance of all sorts of information online. The internet provides not only easy access to the good, but also the bad, and the ugly. Plus, children might not have the best judgment on what content belongs online where everyone can see it.
In addition to oversharing, children might also become targets of unwanted messages and other online attacks. Data shows that over 35% of students in the US aged 12 to 17 have experienced cyberbullying. 10% revealed that they have been victims of someone using their information for impersonation and nearly as many kids said they have experienced racism online.

Ok but seriously periods are so crazy, like you bleed what would probably be a concerning amount, if it were coming from anywhere else, and you get mild to severe pain, but have to continue with your life as if nothing is wrong? Not to mention this goes on for a week every month for YEARS. WTF nature?
Nowadays, social media and the internet are way more intertwined with our lives than they were just a couple of decades ago. Research discovered that back in 2005, only 5% of American adults used social media, while recently the number has risen to 72%. Using these platforms themselves, grown-ups know what kind of threats they might pose. Therefore, as much as 75% of parents check the apps and websites their kids are using.
People see a large number of parent influencers online (there are around 4.5 million mom-influencers alone), some of whom might present a beautified view of reality. They can create unreasonable expectations for those with children.
From their squeaky clean houses and children behaving like angels, it might seem like influencers have it all figured out; even though it’s not always the case. Nevertheless, their kids eating vegetables with a smile can frustrate parents with a kid screaming at the sight of a carrot alone.
As if raising children isn’t enough to have one’s plate full, parents have to solve financial riddles as well. Providing for several hungry mouths and maintaining the household is not an easy task. Therefore, moms and dads have to find the best work-life balance for the well-being of all the members.
Based on recent data, one-fourth of parents find it difficult to cover all the expenses of the family, such as housing, food, or healthcare. This puts additional stress on them as spending time with the kids becomes more difficult when working long hours.

I’m an introvert but people like me and want to tell me their life stories all the time. I’m not mean though so I smile and listen, then hide in my room for a week or two.

Parents deal with all sorts of pressure when it comes to planning family finances. Bills, car maintenance, grocery shopping, and other responsibilities seem like a never-ending cycle of expenses. To make things worse, grown-ups in the family often feel pressured to buy things that are less necessary as well. Research shows that around 60% of parents in the US feel the need to purchase certain expensive items of the latest edition.

To be fair I thought she meant sticky tape at first! I taught myself to say record instead, not that it really matters. I don’t know why I did it, I don’t have much going on.
Kids are also not immune to the latest trends. Especially when their peers are walking around with the newest gadgets and ads on TV are blasting about a new kit for making your own slime (who doesn’t love a living room rug covered in glitter, huh?). Investment in digital advertising for children has been steadily rising for years now. Together with the increase in social media usage, it might put thoughts in kids’ heads of things they might need.

The amount of money spent is not the only thing that changes after starting a family. The items parents buy often shift as well, as they tend to trade the nice ones for the practical ones. High heels for New Year? Forget it. Mom’s rocking her new crocs. Some of these amusing memes cover exactly that and the comments show people can relate.

1) Where does this happen? I get a person every time (during business hours of course) and the actual doctor will call me back between patients if I need. 2) I really don’t think my kids school asked for this. I don’t remember it at all. But the school nurse reached out before my kid started kinder based on what I wrote on some “about me” form during registration (my son does have some medical issues).
Physical well-being is another aspect covered perfectly in some of these memes. Living with children might add to the toll time takes on our bodies. More times than not, giving piggyback rides and carrying home three-year-olds (who were absolutely certain about their ability to walk back home) do little to help one’s aching back or stiff neck.

Unpopular opinion coming up. Lies to avoid telling the kids no is quite toxic. Depending on their age this stunt can easily be exposed. You have then taught your kid it is OK to lie to loved ones and that you are willing to do a advanced hoax to fool them. When you later tells them something, perhaps much more important, do you want that them to not trust you?

I never tire of how these posts for Mums are a broad spectrum of themes and issues, but all the "Single Dad" posts are about beer and fishing. Who am I kidding, there are never any single dad posts.

Also dads/guys in general often get portrayed as complete idiots by women in these kind of posts. Kind of weird that you chose to marry/reproduce with him then. I’m a woman with a male partner and it astounds me how much c**p women talk about their “useless” partners whilst simultaneously not allowing them to contribute to the rocket science that is pressing two buttons on the washing machine.

I also see a trend where kids seem to be in charge of the home. Called the first priority, they begin to think they're first in everything. My parents took good care of us, but they were in charge. What they said went and we fell in line. Children are just that, children, and being super mom so everyone will think you're brilliant is a waste of time. Love them, provide for them, teach them self discipline and prepare them to live in a cold hard world. In other words, raise them to be adults, not tall children.
