Okay so I need to try men's boxer briefs? I have never worn anything other than women's underwear, never even tried boxers and now I'm intrigued Oh girl. You need to try like anything else. Boxer briefs are amazing. There are some "women's" ones that are good, but $$$. Like a lot of things, the run of the mill dude ones are fine.

I’m making my kid do an after school activity. They are upset with me “bossing around and ruining lives” and general tween attitude Not to bury the lede: It’s a free engineering class for female identifying and non-binary students. They haven’t had a lot of experience with other nonbinary people and it’s at the new middle school so I’m thinking they can look around and get used to some of the building. They also love engineering and their teacher thought of them first when it was offered. I asked her to talk to C about it. They're going to be so happy they did this, once they go. My kids can be like this before new activities, I think it's like kid rules that they have to bitch when we do something nice for them.

MH wears Tommy John boxer briefs. He has one pair that is not old, but that I really want to throw away. It’s color blocked, the legs are yellow and front of crotch is… blue, I think? And the inner thigh gusset and part of the back crotch area are dark red. It looks like he’s free bleeding.

I have had to bring a shirt to my H and say "if there is anyway you are ok with this, I need this to go away" for a similar reason. Like I asked bc it's his stuff, but it was causing me mental unrest.

Like I asked bc it's his stuff, but it was causing me mental unrest. I feel strongly that a man designed those color choices. Like the first time he wore them, he was walking away from me and I gasped, because for a split second, I really thought he was bleeding. 😂 I need to just disappear them.

Bean confession… I am chaotic in that usually I drain the beans, but sometimes I don’t. I don’t have strong feelings. However, #thisplace threw me into an existential tizzy on Wednesday night when I made chili, so I drained one can and rinsed the other.

So Wednesday was DH birthday and I was out of steam from Christmas and ds2 birthday/party. And it was in the middle of the week. So I didn't manage to get a gift. I did pick up sushi and sake for dinner. He doesn't really like cake so I didn't do that. He was mad I didn't get a gift or cake. So I am grabbing something today. I feel bad but also am a little annoyed that he is upset. Eh. I think as an adult, if you have expectations for a birthday in regards to someone doing something for you, you should communicate that.

I spent ten years cyber stalking my sister’s ex husband’s mistress. She popped up in my people you may know the other day, and I had to laugh at myself. I had a FULL dossier on her. It was so bad that I even went undercover with a fake profile to ascertain whether dude was still cheating.
He was
I’m glad I could aid in my sister leaving his bum ass

I was desperate for relief for my inner thigh where I have a big shingles patch, and I bought a pack of men's boxer briefs. It was instant relief, and finally that patch can start to heal, I cannot tell you what it felt like to have that pain somewhat mitigated finally. But the confession part is I am not entirely sure I am ever going back to ladies' underwear. The patriarchy has been gatekeeping these ya'll. They're amazing. eta Also I bought pairs with donuts and godzilla on them bc there's no reason this can't be fun. I have worn cheap Hanes Men’s boxer briefs under my summer skirts and dresses for years after an early morning period emergency left me with no choice. Best thing ever after spending (literally $$$) on all the Spankx, thigh skinnies, anti chafing panties,etc….On top of everything thing else this is one of the best kept secrets of the Patriarchy. 😒

STP I always wear men’s boxer briefs under dresses. So comfy and not hot like bike shorts. YES. I am like...excited for dresses lol. I wore men's regular boxers but never went all this way. I really hope this shit doesn't scar like I'm worried it will, bc there's a new world open, lol. Is there a brand preference? I had a cyst on my panty line over the summer and couldn't wear underwear for a super long time and now I find them uncomfortable. I would prefer to wear something though.

I feel bad but also am a little annoyed that he is upset. Maybe it depends on the expectations in each household, but at our house this would feel a bit disappointing as well. I don't think anyone would be "mad", but bummed, yes. But it's normal for us to get gifts & put a little thought into it. Cake is normal for us too, or some other special dessert, & the only reason I can think of why that might not happen on the day is if we had specifically told each other hey let's wait to make the cake for weekend plans or something. I don't know if maybe it's how he communicated about it that's throwing you, but I think it's okay for him to want to be considered in a certain way.

My oldest turns 10 (DOUBLE DIGITS) next week, and I feel like i haven’t done nearly enough. I need to order a cake, I only have one present, and we have a camping trip planned for friday. But I feel like it should be a bigger deal and I need to work in a few more surprises. Cinnamon rolls maybe? Balloons? More gifts? Sigh.

We usually decorate a little with a banner or whatever fun thing I find at party city. Dd loves it still at 12. She turned 10 during Covid so it wasn’t a big thing like I wanted but I’m already planning 13 because like you I find those to be big

Could you go out for dinner or dessert this weekend to make up for it being in the middle of the week and busy? Or is it about having a physical gift

flippinchica , I am assuming you wished him a happy birthday. You got him a favorite dinner. I can't with adults who get pissy about bdays. I just can't. Esp on a Wednesday. Eh I think my feelings would be a little hurt if my H didn't get me something, even something small. I wouldn't be pissy about it, but I'd be a little disappointed.

I agree with this, but also think it depends on the norms of that relationship. Like you wouldn't usually have to re-communicate that every year, you come to know over time generally what each other wants & expects for things like this. So if this was outside their established norm I could see being disappointed. If it was never communicated even in the past, then sure, that needs to happen.

This is why I need context before deciding. If you never do gifts or cakes maybe it’s something else he is bothered by but this is an easy thing to dwell on. I would be bummed though if my birthday felt like an afterthought. Yes Im understanding of being busy and such but I don’t know.

My 11 year old is mad that I won't buy her lululemon, since that is all the rage in 6th grade.
I have never purchased myself anything from lululemon, certainly not going to spend that much on her clothing.
I found myself telling her the same things my mother told me in 1988, when all the other kids wore was GAP. My transformation from "I will be nothing like my mom when I grow up" to "She was right about almost everything" is almost complete.

Make a “pocket” with seran wrap outside the top half of his door. Blow up balloons and fill pocket. When he opens the door the next morning he will be showered with balloons.

I have been the ‘forgotten’ spouse for birthdays under similar circumstances. It straight up sucks. As an adult I can understand and rationalize being overwhelmed by life and burnt out but grabbing a cake and a card from a grocery store is minimal effort so yeah it cuts when you realize that you aren’t even worth that minimal level of effort from your partner.
