This was utterly normal treatment of kids in the 1980s and 1990s. There was even a stereotype of annoying kids who "ask too many questions."

Suddenly hit with the vivid memory of when a cat had kittens and I was maybe four years old, and an older kid (I think a cousin?) kept saying with disgust and horror that she was "eating the afterbirth" (as mammals do), but I didn't know what that meant and started asking, only to be ignored or dismissed by the adults, who also wouldn't let me see no matter how FRANTIC I got with my questions, even when I started bawling my eyes out. Because, see, my interpretation of that sentence was that she was eating the kittens. What else would you conclude if you don't know the word "afterbirth," you're too little to know anything else comes out with the babies, and everyone is acting like it's something too nasty to explain to you in words? I don't remember when I figured out that they meant something else but I remember four-year-old me being devastated all day and terrified the next morning that all the kittens would be gone. All they had to say was "it's yucky stuff that was on the kittens, so she's cleaning up!" but no they could evidently not come up with anything more creative than just "it's nothing!" And worse yet my questions made them laugh. They LAUGHED at the unfathomable violence I was sure had happened in that cardboard box. Can you even imagine how demented I thought these people were. I was four years old already thinking I was the only rational compassionate being in a house full of sick sadists. Please try to entertain the questions of children, especially if they seem upset. You never know when they just think you're a fucked up asshole hiding a kitten massacre.

#childrearing #eighties vision #been here before #twentieth century kids compact #I have this idea that people spent the whole twentieth century adjusting to the idea that child mortality was way less of a thing #there was this idea that kids were there to serve adults emotionally #parents teachers strangers in the grocery store #part of a kid's job was to be the butt of the joke #she was so upset ha ha ha #he said something SO stupid ha ha ha #kids are all lazy and all stupid #could be why Nickelodeon was so big on rebelliousness #being a rebel meant saying 'no' not only to 'do your homework' but to 'follow my hints to say something dumb so I can make fun of you'#but the flipside of the twentieth century kids' compact is 'when YOU'RE an adult it'll be YOUR TURN'#...cue adults meeting an aneurotypical kid who's paying more attention to spoken than unspoken communication #'WOW only HALF this place is paved. Isn't it great to be out in the WILDERNESS?' hint hint be stuuuuuupid you dumb kid so I can feel smart #'No that's not what a wilderness is Mrs. Smith'#cue rage #you know how we're all getting impostor syndrome now?#well there used to be a whole cohort of people with the unofficial job of pretending to be dumber than the adults

y’all out here saying Izzy’s death made no narrative sense because it’s a comedy show clearly haven’t seen the Shakespeare post…I’m sorry I really am but death immunity only applies to the romantic leads the genre has not changed babes

(I don’t mean this to be patronizing, but genuinely: critically analyzing and engaging with art is a skill, and an important one. it’s a tool that will help you in the real world, for real current events. use this as practice not to take everything at face value. sad art does not equal bad art!)

#it was not lazy writing this was always the narrative 👏#instead of thinking the show is dumb for making you sad PLEASE think about why the show might have wanted you to feel that way #(and fwiw I didn’t see these takes about ‘oh it’s a comedy why would they do this!’ when ed was suicidal…)#this is like being in 9th grade lit with all the kids arguing that Romeo and Juliet were just stupid teenagers #did I see this coming? no!! but it makes sense if you’re consuming this story as a real story instead of screen time with blorbo hour #(which is a fine way to consume it if you want!! but you can’t come at the show for being what it always was…)#s/o to the Izzy enjoyers who get the difference bw fanon and canon you’re the real ones #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #ofmd meta

hi fellow neurodivergent people

i hate to jump on the "i think i might have adhd" bandwagon, but if i think i might have adhd, how do i bring it up to my care team as a 28-year-old cis woman who was a massive overachiever until i couldn't keep up the ruse anymore?

#idk what happened when i got laid off it seriously is like my brain BROKE i cannot do anything #i have not done much of anything in a year. and i think it's bc my coping mechanisms were 1. self-medicate but ESPECIALLY do that while #2. overcommitting. because it kept me busy and distracted. i excelled in school because i could focus on it without it giving me anxiety #school was honestly almost the only thing that didn't give me anxiety as a kid. and i never felt quite Right like i didn't feel like i fit #in with my peers. i've always felt like a human being that isn't a person. like something's not quite right. i excel but i feel like i'm #doing it wrong because it's SO hard for me. i graduated my BA and BS programs with a 4.0 #but it came with the cost of alienating all of my friends and family and becoming really reclusive and weird and distant and anxious #but i really just wanted to do well at the one thing i felt i was good at. which doesn't seem like something i should take note of #idk. my life feels like a claustrophobic box. i feel like i'm buried alive and i can't get myself out because i can't work #because i can't focus. but maybe i'm just stupid and lazy and want everyone to take care of me forever so i can continue laying around doin #fuck all. which i do a lot because i'm chronically ill. idk. like is there ground to stand on here. i literally have zero friends rn #and i feel so so so sos so anxious any time i am working because i worry i'm going to do something wrong or forget to do something or make #lots of mistakes that get me in trouble. i'm so scared of making mistakes it keeps me from doing anything at all. but i get so anxious bc #i'm not doing anything! i'm wasting time! and i can't focus on anything when i AM working because i have to get up and pace #like i HAVE to move around or i start to feel like i need to peel my skin off like i'm an orange #like. is it anything at all. or is this just me being someone who has Other Stuff going on

you ever scroll past some sort of discourse that you didn't even know existed, and you have to take a second and realize that, while none of us are superior to others, some of us ARE much better at choosing which dumbass hills to die on? because I think sometimes you deserve to go 'huh. at least I'm not getting involved in all that'.

#well idk i'm still wasting time typing this out but that's marginally less embarrassing as an outsider than the people arguing about it #tw abuse mention in tags #so APPARENTLY!!!#enneagram mbti people are complaining about enneagram 7s being predisposed to being manipulative (?)#someone's like 'my sister was a 7w8 and neglects her kids' like jesus christ i don't think her enneagram is why she does that?#saying this as someone who LOOSELY AND UNSERIOUSLY enjoys mbti/zodiac/boxes to put my blorbos into:#these people are just doing the zodiac but for people who think they can armchair diagnose others they dislike with cluster b disorders #like congrats you made it worse and combined it with pseudopsychology to make some hellish ableism amalgamation #and it was already stupid to begin with but man you really took it up to 100 #like we do realize that this is all fake. right. this isn't an actual psychological profile.#and taking it seriously has worrying implications? and you cannot judge someone based on anything but their behavior?#like again i get having fun with these things as little categories. my autistic ass loves sorting things into categories.#i will give my blorbos full star charts for 6 hours. yay categories.#but with the caveat that it's unserious and for funsies and not at all an actual representation of any human being?#like when i say 'i'm such a taurus lol' or whatever i'm not actually under the impression that it dictates my actual personality?#it's all confirmation bias anyways. people see what they want out of this kind of thing #like yeah i'm kinda lazy and i like food and self indulgence but. that's probably like half of the. idk. virgo population or whatever too #i think those are just things that most human people enjoy unless you're one of those super ambitious go-getters who never slows down #same goes for every other trait. curiosity? emotion? stubbornness? logic? those are just things that most people have in some capacity

how do you politely tell your uni classmates that you're not gonna sit the exam for them

#i have gotten the reputation as The Good Student Who Helps People Out and listen. if there's good reason i will absolutely help you #like if you miss classes due to work or if you're ill. or if you have kids/dont live in this city. all's fair game then!#but when you ask me shit like “hey do you know what's gonna be on the exam”#or “hey do you know about XYZ” when XYZ is already on my notes that I've already sent to you #then I'm simply convinced you're lazy and want me to do your work for you and I'm honestly not having that #also girl how would i know what's gonna be on the exam. do you think i see the future???#like yesterday DURING THE ONLINE EXAM i was getting bombarded with messages from two different people #one was asking me to tell her the answer to an entire ass essay #and the other asked me something that was very clearly and simply given to us in the exercise question #like the question was “use any text we've studied to analyse X Thing” and i was asked “does exercise a want us to analyse X Thing”#BRO. LITERALLY JUST READ THE ONE (1) LINE OF TEXT THAT'S TELLING YOU EXACTLY THAT.#idk this is such a whiny stupid vent but it legit feels like I'm being taken advantage of sometimes and it's annoying

being evaluated for adhd by having one of those full psych evals that last like two hours. scared frightened etc.... last time i took it i lied extensively bc i was 13 and thought they might tell my mommy if i said i had suicidal thoughts. and i still have a habit of lying to therapists bc i'm embarrassed......... AGH idk. what if i take it and they tell me that the reason im Like This is bc im genuinely just weird and shitty and not bc im mentally ill at all. SCARED

#which is dumb bc i have been formally diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses i dont think they can just take it back right?????#this is so stupid and cliche but what if i have been faking it........ all along........ Argh.#when i was in res i was put on adderall (bc the house psych just kind of experimented w meds LMFAO) and i had to go off them after like #two weeks bc it was affecting my appetite in a way i couldnt afford at the time lmao. but i do genuinely feel like it helped during that #time.... which is why i want to go on it again!!!! but im scared theyll just be like nah and i wont be able to take any of my meds anymore #is that crazy. am i being crazy rn. idk i truly do think most of my experiences w school and like. life could be explained by adhd and #when i was a kid they thought i had it but the two meds they tried didnt work for me so they just. kind of gave up #and i was really extremely unable to do school and graduated hs w an insanely low gpa and then dropped out of community college. LMAO. not #that people w adhd cant be good in school i just couldnt make myself do homework and couldnt listen in class bc i was too busy focusing on #listening. if that makes sense #IDK. idk. i know it's become like. a trend to have adhd is the issue and everything is being attributed to having it so im worried that ive #like. accidentally fallen in w that? even though ive thought i had it for forever and everyone has been like girl do you have this. IDK!!!!#idk. idkkkk im just like. genuinely scared. it's not the end of the world if im not diagnosed obviously but that means that #im just like this for no reason at all. and there's no way of helping it bc it's just the way i am. and i actually am just shitty n lazy.#epic. which incidentally is the proper name for how fucking long these tags are my bad. if you read this far sorry for being insane 👍

ok isn't batman a protector. isn't a big part of his whole thing the preciousness of life. and isn't robin (all of them, but THE FIRST ONE esp) an extension of the things bruce believes? they're a team. and haven't they dealt with people who are in crisis thousands of times. AND WASNT DICK GRAYSON A COP.

THEN EXPLAIN TO ME THE TITANS SCENE WITH JASON ON THE ROOFTOP

#ok it's different cuz it's jason and ig you could argue that. idk maybe dick had some plan if jason....#ok no actually that's bullshit dick isn't suited up he has nothing on him #he lets it get to the point where jason takes a step forward. and he's just like '.... jason'#dick doesn't comfort him at all he just takes the blame instead #which is something. but i expect dick grayson to handle things a BIT better than that #the whole thing with the team accusing jason was lazy and stupid tbh. and the rooftop thing felt like it was for shock value #which is IRRESPONSIBLE WRITING #not to get Too on a high horse but i imagine the demographic watching this show is many and varied but #a large portion has got to be depressed nerds and/or loners #ah i'm probably projecting. i just don't like seeing suicide used as a plot device in a lazy way #on an irresponsible note of my own. if this is causing jason to be suicidal he is notttt cut out to be robin #also it doesn't really make sense 2 me. that's just not the jason todd i know #kid's tough as fuck and has an axe to grind #not to say that. people who commit s. are w. agh whatever #anyways i'm disappointed AS ALWAYS in how writers have batman/batman adjacent characters handle suicide

Eeeeeugh why does saying no to things have to feel so yucky

#rambles from the floor #my sister (FIVE MINUTES before she was going to leave) was like ‘hey the other lady I watch kids with is sick and I need somebody else’#and my finger has been in more pain today then it has like all week. and I said no.#and my sister was obviously like. miffed. so my other sister went with her #and I’m sitting here feeling guilty because I didn’t go #and I’m SURE my sister thought I was just being lazy #but I really just. didn’t want to go.#because my STUPID FINGER hurts #and she sprung it on me right beforehand and I don’t do well with that!!!#but I feel like a jerk anyway!!! UGH

do you ever think about the people who mailed in letters for the first x-force and cable runs about badly wanting to see more of domino because she was unsympathetic and cold and competent. and then that first solo dropped and she sounded like this and this seems to be what 70% of the people writing her have been going off of to this day

#TXT #and then the rest of the solos since have repeatedly insisted on having a man there to talk down to her about something she's done #professionally for decades while sounding and being made more and more young and incompetent and ditzy #the 2003 one isn't As bad i like that one the best & really do like some parts of it. but christ that's a low bar #^if you were to show me the first issue of that comic and told me it was a prequel from her youth i would've believed you. Nightmare #i realize these comics are deeply allergic to letting women be let alone stay older than 35 at absolute maximum but good god man #her background as an angry experiment kid and the only woman on a team of men with minimal knowledge of her own past + mutation until well #into adulthood & the sort of aimlessness that leaves you with regardless of competency was Genuinely Compelling #but i guess ''what if she Was just lazy and stupid and all of her skills were dumb luck all along'' was better. apparently. Whatever #older comics tried to refer to her as some sort of mother figure to x-force despite being the least maternal person on earth and newer ones #(the newest solos anyway) seem to insist that that was her Boyfriend's Thing Actually and What's An X-Force Again even though she led it fo #a significant time and co-led it for longer #whatever happened to 'you never were one for silk lace and soft carpeting...'#i can't even 'at least she's gay now' about this. she is to Me #domino

Also I spent so long thinking I struggled with school bc I was lazy and just wasn't trying hard enough only to return to school as a fully grown adult and still have the exact same struggles!!! Both extremely vindicating and heartbreakingly disappointing anyway I kind of want to just drop out

#focusing on one assignment for too long PHYSICALLY HURTS like idk how to explain it but it feels like doing math as a kid #flipping between assignments helps a little but FUCK i need like. a new brain #i just keep hearing the ghost of my dead dad saying 'if you cant do it perfect dont do it at all'#which is what he said to me then i was 10 and talking about how i didn't have time to finish an assignment but woukd turn in what I had #anyway that bad advice has haunted me ever since and is why i never turned anything in ever again lmao #i was like oh well id rather them think im lazy than stupid #but the truth is im both i guess!!!!!!!

sorry but the way a single interaction w my mom ruined any kind of progress I made this week is insane

#I started taking my meds again for one #she walked in the kitchen after work today and immediately proceeded to tell me I did everything wrong and basically made me feel so fucking #stupid. all I’m doing is tryna do something nice and cute for this stupid holiday bc everything else in my life is falling apart #but I should be used to it I mean just a few weeks ago she essentially admitted she thinks I’m doing nothing with my life #even though she uses me for photo ops and as a way to get attention from her coworkers and friends #bc she LOVES to brag about me she adores it even #but behind closed doors it’s ‘how can I put alex down today?’#misgenders fatshames tells me I’m lazy despite having almost 3 degrees doesn’t take any of my medical issues seriously #even tho she’s the reason I went so late before I got diagnosed (she doesn’t want a sick kid! how Tragic for her)#I’m TIRED like I’m tired of not being able to do anything right ??? and like I’m sorry I know there’s more important things going on in the #world right now but my irl stuff was such a non issue for real alongside it and now it’s like #all of the ideation is back I feel like. yeah what is the point in doing anything I don’t do anything right anyway #sorry I’m just. venting #mrow.org
