What rules are you breaking that work for you?

DH and I sleep in the same bed but under twin comforters. I haven't had anything other than black coffee for breakfast or lunch in years. The only makeup I wear is lip gloss that costs less than 2 euros. I am going into teaching after years at home not because I have a calling, but because it is the only work I can do competently enough to regain my dignity.

Eat all the other carbs in moderation.

You didn’t understand the assignment.

I had a baby by myself.

I take three days to respond to texts and a week to emails. It’s not intentional, though. It’s ADHD.

You are a bad person

Why? You understand the movie theaters aren’t losing money on three tickets right?

My life doesn't revolve around my kids. I take care of them, but in some ways their lives revolve around me.

I’m not sure what to think about your last statement. You’re aware teaching is hard, correct? I don’t get DCUMers who think you can just walk into a classroom and competently teach. We wouldn’t be facing such a large exodus from the profession if the job were easy.

I am with you on the black coffee. I drive 4+ cups a day.

We also sleep under 2 comforters. Actually 2 identical weighted blankets. When the bed is made, it looks pretty uniform.

-Babywise. It's amazing. Sorry DCUM!
-Everything cleanliness-wise - I shower every other day, the house cleaners come monthly and besides the kitchen I don't do any other cleaning, towels and sheets get washed monthly. Good enough!
-I don't even own makeup.
-I have a full time salaried job that pays well and since having kids, I work prob an average of 10-20 hrs a week. Got a promotion in there, too. Shrug.

You and my husband have the same dental routine and both have 0 cavities. In the meantime I’ve had about 10 root canals, gum surgery, 10 implants when root canals fail. And I follow the rules. It’s genetics and it’s not fair!

I always do this.

Are you people really that stupid? Do you smoke at the pump too? Rub sticks together? How about play with dynamite?

No, not even then.

Where is the vomit emoji. You are ignorant.
