I got sick of being the childfree employee at my last job and getting crap from coworkers who were parents when I wanted to take time off. And also getting extra work dumped on me when they needed to be off for concerts, award days, mommy & me breakfast, etc.

Trust me, if you're childfree and starting a new job, toss a photo of a kid in your life on your desk. Someone will assume it's your kid so you roll with it.

I'm the coworker who would Google you and get far enough down the rabbit hole to see that something is not quite right...

Not PP, but when you Google me, you get…nothing.

Your “just Larla” IG handle pops up right away.

No, not even then.

I don’t hardly ever either - especially not at home. What are you all DOING when you pee that necessitates hand washing? I pull down my bottoms, sit, pee, and use TP. I never touch my body especially not any “sensitive” areas

Me too. This is a rule??

I vowed to never go back to work, once I became a sahm. It bothers a lot of people on DCUM but I don't care. My DH does more than 50% of work at home and I have cleaners too. I have AC.

Do you flush? If so, have you cleaned the flush handle so it doesn’t have any residual bacteria from when you flushed after wiping after pooping? That’s the risk - lots of bad illness is spread through the fecal-oral root.

You have air conditioning? Most people in the USA have air conditioning.

I don’t wear underwear, even with short dresses.

When I am home, I have the TV on. Always. I even sleep with it on (low volume). I’ve done it since I was a teen, and it’s comforting.

I let my kids ride unbuckled from the house to the neighborhood pool, and back.

I drive slowly. I enforce that they sit down, sometimes they sit on the floor too.

We used to walk. There was a cute shortcut between houses. It was really for utilities, but someone had put stepping stones. And all the neighborhood kids told us about it. I guess something happened this summer and they decided to put a lock on it.

1. Not drinking.

2. Not trying to keep up with the Jonses.

3. Holding people's birth inheritance, i.e race, parental religion, gender, diability etc against them.

I wish my office had supplies. I manage my one box of pens that actually work so carefully because I need it to last for years.

When off, I wear my pj’s all day.

I shower every other day.

I never answer my door unless it’s one of my grown kids.

This is the rule.
