Just ignore them and start playing music loudly on your phone too and if they say something act oblivious and say “oh sorry, I forgot it’s rude to have a phone this loud.”

LPT: don't be the kind of parent who is so self-centered that you get disappointed when your baby is learning how to mimic sounds of human speech that they may or may not even understand yet instead of just being glad that your baby is learning and growing and happy.

Very simple when your child has two mamas. :)

I would seek therapy if something like that bothered me. The tip is a good one though, calling out the partner’s name whenever they appear will help the child better identify who’s who.

This is definitely something everyone needs to know. Even the tiniest meeting I've had with people had left an imprint on me. I recently learned I am, in essence, people's "Happiness sponge"; which means that because I'm always happy/positive despite my mental/physical disabilities, I've supposedly created a lot of happiness in people's lives and made them happier. Supposedly I'm the reason my sister, who has severe depression, and some of my friends have decided to change things in their lives from health to stressors so they can be happier. Just knowing that I had that impact on them has made me start really working on my mental illness and physical disabilities.

But more clothes and towels

It can be a positive or negative impact so be careful what you say/do around others. Especially children.

>there's more than one way to do math

There are ways that give you more and less accurate results.

If you take a week worth of data and multiply to get a month, you're also multiplying any mistakes or outliers there might be. If you take 3 months worth of data and dividing to get a picture of your average month, you're dividing, i.e. ironing out any outliers. That gives you better predictive power to predict, say, how much money you're going to need in the next 10 months.

Say you eat at home almost every day of the month, but once per month you eat at a fancy restaurant. If you take data from the week you ate at that fancy restaurant and multiply by 4.345, you're going to make it seem like you eat at a restaurant 4 times per month. If you take data from the non fancy restaurant week, your fancy meal won't be captured in the data at all. Either way, you're getting inaccurate monthly data.

Longer time frame = more accurate result in terms of predictive power (e.g. predicting how much money you're going to need over the, say, next 10 months)

>You get a more accurate result if you actually average out the entire month

Not necessarily. Months very in their length if accuracy is your argument so what you're really saying is convert to annual and compare that way. This... is an option ofc.

In practice many don't have a choice BUT to be paid weekly or bi-weekly and are living paycheck to weekly paycheck (and consequently need to budget the most). Additionally, a lot of expenses are budgeted weekly despite longer terms being better for the math. The individual may know they can eat out once a weekend and also want to know how much they can afford to spend on entertainment that week. Car loan amortized weekly?

;tldr this is how you can do it if you need to but, shocker, there's more than one way to do math if you don't.

Get a white noise machine. Put it next to the door or whatever wall you think the sound is coming through the most. It may sound loud to you at first if you've never used one of these before, but I promise you will get used to it and stop realizing it's there quickly.

I always dry after a shower with my hand towel, then just wrap myself up in my big fluffy bath towel. The big fluffy can easily last one or two weeks. When I was at university the big fluffy managed to last all term until I took it home for mum to wash.

Try to get more wears out of your clothes between washes. This helps with laundry but also with making your clothes last longer. Hang stuff up if you plan to wear it again instead of just tossing it into a pile on a chair (....everyone else also has The Chair for the not-dirty-but-not-clean clothes right?) and make sure it's not like jammed packed in a closet so it can air out a little. You can also spray with something like Febreeze or a wrinkle releaser when you hang it up so that the stuff has time to work before you need to wear the clothes again. A clothes steamer is also great for "refreshing" clothes that don't feel just washed but also aren't actually dirty and you can get a small portable one if space is an issue.

For professional/business attire, or things like jeans, change as soon as you get back home. For things like swimsuits or work out clothes, rinse them if they're really sweaty or dirty and then hang them up to dry. If you're just going to work out in something and get all sweaty in it again, it doesn't need to be super clean when you start as long as it's not like disgustingly smelly and you're going to change/shower soon. You can wash smaller items or more delicate items like bras, gym shorts, blouses, etc in the sink. Baby shampoo works well as detergent for more delicate things (silk, satin, other delicate fabrics) that aren't that dirty but you might need to try out some speciality detergents for hand washing to find something that doesn't feel like it leaves a residue without the rinsing power of a machine.

For things like underwear that you really want cleaner than what you're going to get with a quick sink wash, either buy more underwear ...or just wear underwear less.

You're doing great😊 , love yourself step by step and return your love to those that you once hurt that's it , you made a mistake and you are acknowledging it which is very brave and conscious. Your journey won't be ease because you were in a deep problem but you'll acheive your inner peace. How can you alleviate the guilt? Help others and Be grateful Indulge in fun activities that will make your mind busy

DO. NOT. DO. THIS. IN. NEW. YORK.

Adding any level of disingenuousness or playing dumb is manipulation. So what you are suggesting is adding a flavor of deceit to what you've just described as "intrusive".

Or you could just be a decent human being and treat them like people instead of marks. This is why you’re not getting laid, btw.

"Get you away with a lot"?

What a way to put it when you are trying to argue for this type of thing as justifiably innocent. Not saying it is or isn't, but saying you're "getting away with something" just does nothing to emphasize the innocence of anything

I normally don’t ever post here but this resonated with me as I used to feel this way too. The way I get over this is telling myself it’s ok to make mistakes but that’s not how I am anymore and I use that way of thinking and it helps. And all those mistakes have made me into who I am today which I wouldn’t have got here without. Believe it or not mistakes help you grow as a person.

Also don’t put too much stock into what other people think about you, do things that make you happy and be who you want to be. That kind of thinking will help also
