Thinking about the time a few years ago when my sister (a vegetarian) held her housewarming party and my mom’s plan for food was to grill burgers and hot dogs and veggie burgers for my sister like she didn’t have a veggie burger at every family event ever for a decade+ so i spent many dollars (of which i did not have many to begin with) and two whole days with little sleep to the point i could barely stand cooking not one, not two, but *nine* different vegetarian dishes so that she could have something different for once and when she eventually got stuck with the leftovers they’d be things she could eat and enjoy and my mom was like “you don’t need to do all that and they don’t all have to be vegetarian, you know”

LIKE I KNOW MOTHER THAT LACK OF CONSIDERATION IS WHY I’M FUCKING DOING THIS

will forever be baffled by how most of my childhood school notebooks we had to write in were at most 50% done (most of them less) with a teacher’s note of “Please finish” under that entry’s title and nobody thought to say “Wow, this kid has ADHD huh?” Because I was a relatively well behaved, quiet, “Pleasure to have in class” girl

also baffling how my mother used to have to sit in the store with me and take socks and underwear out of the package so i could try them on and approve of them before she bought them because I’d have a meltdown if I didn’t like them and no one went “Huh, is this kid autistic?” Again because i was a relatively well behaved, quiet girl
