I think it’s just my time in the military dealing with the exact same kind of military spouse, but as a non-parent I’m so weirded out by the parents who act like they are not just a great supportive parent, but actively part of (after school activity) themselves. Not just a mentor and chaperone but like… on the team of the thing they have never spent one minute doing themselves, even though they could anytime they want (with adults). They have to be in the social media pictures, and ride on the bus, and have the jacket. I wish I could understand it better and be more sympathetic. I feel bad about feeling bad about it, you know? Maybe someone can explain it to me?

Just annual reminder that you’re not too old to take up a sport or a hobby or learn a language or rollerskate or learn martial arts or join a debate club or learn an instrument and play in an orchestra. Adults can do that too. It’s totally allowed.

I guess as a fiercely independent person (by necessity and certainly to a fault) who does everything by myself, perhaps I feel inappropriate sympathy for people who are unwilling to try doing stuff alone - or that they find slightly socially unacceptable for their age or gender or whatever. I worry when people feel like they can’t explore life except vicariously through their kids, or they can’t do something without a partner there. It worries me and makes me deeply uncomfortable because I feel like they are suffering.

They probably worry the same about me… “you have to unclog the drains and clean the gutters?” “Nobody picks you up at the airport?” “You eat at steakhouses alone?!” “You know how to do first aid on yourself?!” Yea I mean, life is definitely full of trade offs! 😅

@hacks4pancakes worst part of eating at a steakhouse, or anywhere really, alone is that the waitstaff think you're sad. like im not fuckin sad im treating myself, bring my sides and stop tilting your head and frowning when you look at me im enjoying myself!

@hacks4pancakes I have another thing to add… with Valentine’s Day coming up a lot of people look to others for love but it doesn’t only have to be that way.It’s okay to:take yourself on a little date, do something nice for yourself in the present moment, do nice little acts of #kindness for your future self,take yourself to a #concert, a #movie, a #theatre show, buy yourself #flowers, eat at your fave restaurant, get yourself a lovely drink or ice cream, set aside some special #tea, coffee, chocolate, bath bombs, #selfcare items for tough days,be your own best friend for a day, treat yourself and encourage yourself like you would a best friend or a loverbuy some new clothing, house / kitchenware, perfume/cologne, toys or supplies for your hobby,find yourself a new #style or try the #aesthetic you’ve always wanted to, or reinvent yourself (if you cannot afford it you can repurpose/rework/up cycle or trade some of your current things or #thrift for something that works for you), join a new club,learn a new skill or restart an old one, quit a skill or hobby and take up a new one,stop reading a book, watching a series or movie if you don’t enjoy itIf this resonates with anyone please #boost this post so it reaches someone else who may need to hear it.
