The boyfriend got me some flowers! Left them at his house accidentally, so I'm sure he'll be a good flower dad for the next week. He lives too far away :(
~~Unfortunately my mind automatically said, "What does he want? Is he trying to manipulate me?"~~
He likes hydrangeas and fiery roses. I don't know how I'll get my hands on those but I will be also surprising him with flowers some day.
Thank you :))
This!! It does seem like the grass is greener. I do value the wog thing where you get taken care of as an adult.
You've got this!
Thank you to those who replied to my adulting comment with words of encouragement and support! ๐๐

Thank you Melba!!! You should get paid to give practical tips to people. I'm sure people are doing just that.
Because I work casually, how much I get paid each week varies but I tend to put some away automatically into a HISA.
I love reading updates from you
And am looking forward to hearing how your night goes :)
I can barely do anything for myself in the "adulting" realm and I want to change that.
I am going through the process of having to "reparent" myself. My mum is a helicopter parent. She thinks I am not capable of doing anything and tries to do it for me. Or she cooks food and I eat it. I am grateful that she does things for me, but I see people my age being entirely self-sufficient and I feel like shit.
My boyfriend practically lives alone in his family home. He does everything for himself. In my house, everyone's washing gets washed together. Even if the boyfriend does a load of washing, it is all his.
If I ever have kids, I am teaching them chores as soon as they are ready. I would have really benefitted from a sense of mastery as a kid, especially with physical tasks that take me a lot longer than other people to get. Also self-compassionate talk and validating their emotions. Watch that go out the window in the heat of the moment.
Hope everything turns out okay ๐ซถ
I keep waking up in the middle of the night and now I am also getting headaches during the day. Might talk to the Dr about sleep apnea.
Is the yellow thing on the second floor pictured a bunch of bananas?
And yes, as SituationCake says, do it
