  • I get so angry at those people. It’s not about just number of years you are apart and you know it. It’s where those years fall and the fact that being a fan of yours changes the power dynamic.

    My wife is 4 years and 1 week older than me. It’s not a huge age gap, no. But we were both adults when we got together. Basically the only difference between us when we got together was that she had a better work history than I did and had better job prospects because of it. But then the age gap we have is jarring sometimes because of where it falls. We’re both millennials but she’s closer to Gen X and I’m closer to Gen Z and my Gods do I make her feel old sometimes.

    That’s the difference. Is 5 years a big gap? Not if you’re both adults in similar stages in your lives. But if one of you is still in high school and the other is a YouTuber they’re a fan of? Yes! That’s a huge gap then!

    If I’d known I was going to end up disowning my pos father once my twins were born I’d have taken my wife’s name when we married just to spite the fucker.

    My wife had a kid already when we got together. I told my father multiple times and in no uncertain terms that I would not tolerate any kind of favoritism because as far as I was concerned that was my son. This motherfucker had the absolute audacity when my twins were born to call my Mom and ask her essentially how it felt to finally be a “real” grandma. Cuz like how else are you supposed to take it when he asks how it feels to be a grandma when my wife and I had been together for like 4 years and married for almost 2? She’d had a grandson for years already. Then he doubled down on saying that it was different because these were biologically mine.

    Now I cry very easily when I’m angry, so I didn’t want to have to repeat myself over and over through tears to chew him out. So I text him my grievances. This piece of shit has the audacity to say he thinks that it’s not really me, that it’s my wife texting him without me, and that the only way he’d believe it is if I called him and told him in my own voice. Yeah no he just wanted to be able to bulldoze the conversation and claim I’m overreacting. Haven’t spoken to him in 5 years.








  • The hygiene thing is a myth. Yeah it can get dirty if you ignore cleaning it but no more so than any other body part. It’s basically entirely a post-hoc rationalization from people who had it done to them when they were babies and weren’t told it was because way back when some Puritan dipshits thought it might keep teenage boys from “being sinful” in their youth.


  • My oldest had to have one for medical reasons. He had the option of attempting to deal with it without surgery but decided he didn’t want to deal with that.

    Doing that to a baby for no good reason is despicable and I hate forever the 19th century prudes that decided it would be a good way to keep teenage boys from choking the chicken.
