Yes, this is definitely true. I speak 4 languages and my tone, cadence, delivery, even personality changes. Also, there are studies showing that the way people think, speak, act, feel, everything is culturally specific and can switch when moving between various cultural groups. This applies even more so when there is also a language difference.

I literally thought this looks like Minnesota 😅

You also need to deal with the trauma in a structured way. Especially if you plan on raising kids of your own...

Jesus. It sucks that your mother would say that sort of thing to you on Mother's Day. I'm so sorry..

This is actually a therapy tool. That way you can grieve the parent you never had and never will and then move on with some modicum of closure. It helps not feeling like you're not living a stunted life, or perpetually in limbo.

However, your parent is still alive and is likely to reach out and act out. That will still hurt, as it must, but if you mindfully accept that reality it will help you move on with your life without them and not get sucked into their BS.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't tell whether to go "awww" or be insulted lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This product is wicked good.

Well apparently they're a lot less attractive if they don't have at least one wrist. But just one seems to be A Ok.

Somehow I can't help but think that traition is a UTI lol

That's hilarious bc that's one of the ones that sounded least impressive in comparison to the others. It makes a lot of sense knowing that now tho, bc she wasn't speaking in an affected way, just normal

Hahahahahaha is that just like a random Tuesday there???

It's worth noting that in the study, those are rather small Beta coefficients and large standard deviations. Hence, there is a statistically significant relationship but it should not be considered deterministic by any means. IE if you're taller, there's a reliable but only slightly higher chance that you will have a bigger dick, but this is far from a 1:1 relationship.

Was just thinking who's still posting on IG at our age? lol

Jamaican patios is a separate language from English. It is not subordinate to that language.

Yes, sadly the ease and ability to make plans and go out changes forever. It's hard to truly understand how overwhelming parenting is, how exhausted you are all the time, and how overwhelming socializing sounds unless or until you've lived it.

Your husband 1000% should not be coercing you. It also sounds like he needs to be doing a lot more to support you and not putting his needs before yours or the family's. The first few months pp are such a crazy time and a good husband's priority during that time should only be to take care of his wife and new child. I think if he shows you love and that he cares by showing up for you in these other ways, then when you are fully ready, you will feel supported and feel love towards him instead of frustration or resentment. You guys just made a human and you owe it to each other and that infant to try to find a new normal and to learn what it really means to love and support each other now that life is at baseline much more difficult. As one person said, this will be a blip in what is hopefully a lifelong relationship. For that to work, you need to be able to communicate with him and show love but also demand respect. For his part, he needs to show up for you in ways he may have not before. He also needs to learn selflessness in his new role as husband to a new mom, and father to a new baby. Hopefully you two can figure this out and find ways to rekindle intimacy when you're ready.
