Husband: Who scratched the truck?
5 year-old: I’m 160% sure it was mom
Me: What?! I’m 160% sure you don’t know what you are saying
5 year-old: It means I’m absolutely sure it was you
When my dad left my mom after 20+ years of infidelity, many of her friends stopped inviting her places, even if it wasn’t a couple thing. Years later she told me how lonely she was & it breaks my heart to imagine it.
My mom had gone through so much & she is such an incredible &
Apparently last night a local mom walked in on her bf SAing her 6 year old. Timeline is unclear but her friends arrived to her stabbing him over and over and over
The people I know that order door dash & Uber eats are chronically broke.
The people I know that have stable finances never use these kinds of services.
Do you find this to be true in your experience?
I didn’t get a purity ring from my dad.
I wasn’t told to wait until marriage.
I wasn’t supervised from after age 13.
All you talking about the toxicity of
#purity
culture should know:
THE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN HAVING PARENTS THAT VALUE YOUR VIRTUE.
Way worse.
As excited as my husband was to get positive feedback about the porch he built for me, he kept saying, you should’ve shared this picture with the cat! So, here you go…
@PicturesFoIder
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with waiting until you are married, but most of what I see regarding this kind of purity culture seems odd (especially when recorded & shared on the internet)
Stomach pain & bleeding persist. Continued prayers appreciated. I am down 5 pounds this week & I was already under weight. MRI later this week.
Crohn’s disease sucks 😔

Weed is about the only thing I disagree with my conservative friends about. Anything in excess is bad, but a little weed in place of a glass of wine at night, totally acceptable!
My sister put disposable cameras on all the tables at her wedding to get candid shots of their guests 📸
They were so broke after the wedding they never developed them 🎞️
For their 15th wedding anniversary, her husband got them developed!
I can’t wait to see them!

“Hi mom. Would you like to cuddle in your bed or mine?”
~My 5 year-old, in the confident voice of a waiter asking if I want salad or soup with my meal
My husband went to combat in Iraq as a U.S. Marine 3 times. Prolonged exposure to fight/flight chemicals while in combat caused brain changes & damage, commonly known as PTSD & panic disorder.
IT IS NOT AN EMOTIONAL CONTROL ISSUE
The way his brain responds to normal stress now
We moved to a new house and state, and the new house had zero outdoor living spaces or porches. I asked my husband to build me one, and this is what he envisioned and built🤴
“Mom! Take a picture of my water bottle, I bet it gets LOTS of likes!”
*creates scene*
“Okay, it’s ready! And now people can learn about gemstones too”
-my 4 y.o. son 🙃
My 4 year-old doesn’t like going under water. Last night in the bathtub, he held his breath, went under & came up with a triumphant grin & said:
“I’m almost ready to get baptized!”
Y’all, he told me he’s practicing going under water so he can be baptized 🥹
I sold my stroller last week & my 4 year-old son heard me say it was bittersweet.
Now he keeps asking me, “Why did it make you sad & happy at the same time, mom?” 🥹😭
This is why, buddy. We will never be here again.
“I don’t censor my kids’ reading selections”
Do you let your kids drink Coke for breakfast? Play violent video games? Watch p0rn0graphic movies?
You may call it “censoring” your children, but I call it parenting.
If we don’t guard our children’s hearts & minds, who will?
I brought my girls to get library cards. The librarian asked if I would like to put restrictions on it so they can’t access “inappropriate content”.
Me: I don’t censor my kids’ reading selections.
Her: I do.
I hate that she’s the gatekeeper there .
My 4 y.o. wanted to help paint my toe nails. Why not 🤷🏼♀️
When he was done giving me the worst pedicure in the history of pedicures he said with his most serious voice:
“Well I’m not a professional but I’d say that’s pretty darn good”

I was taught that career was everything. I got a bachelors, a masters & then a doctorate
I have a student loan debt that would shock most people 😱
Now I’m a mother & all I really want to do is stay home with my child
A career I once enjoyed feels like nothing to me. I do feel

Toddler swimming lessons are about learning to float on your back and life-saving skills. I think it’s more important than learning the strokes later.
My mom dreamed she was having twins. She felt simultaneous kicks that would require advanced acrobatics from 1 baby 🤰🏼
Instead of listening, her Doc gave her flak about weight gain 😳
Then, my sister & I were born
Don’t let anyone tell you a mother’s intuition isn’t valuable!
I apologize in advance for ruining your dinner, but this question must be asked:
Were they just bored in the 1960’s & 70’s? What possessed them to use JELLO in savory dishes???
Hard boiled eggs, shrimp AND jello 😱
Why?
Christian Twitter X is toxic. It’s full of judgement, division, & pride; not to mention using the Lord’s name to spread corruption & elevate oneself
I drafted rebuttals to posts this morning, then the Holy Spirit showed up:
PRAY. FOR. THEM.
Will you join me?
Pray God gives
It was 2000 something, I had an away game & my future husband met me in the school parking lot at 8 pm
My car wouldn’t start! 🤔
When I popped the hood there was a poster that said:
“Will you go to PROM with me?”
He had disconnected my battery for the ruse 😂
I said YES 🥰
My 4-year-old thinks Corn-on-the-Cob is the height of culinary sophistication 💀
We had plain grilled chicken & corn on the cob for dinner & he said, “This is so fancy!”
I just canceled the diaper & pull up subscription we’ve had for 4.5 years!
My son has been consistently staying dry at night, so we are officially done with diapers! 🎉 🥳🍾

I would call his boss, there had to be a female employee who could have talked to you about this. Or he could’ve just slipped you a note that said, please consult the dress code. He didn’t need to mortify you. I’m so sorry that happened!
How am I supposed to be a SAHM & trad wife when my husband is not on the same page?
Y’all make it look easy.
He wants me to go back to work full time & I want to homeschool our son 😔
My husband is AMAZING, if you say “you should’ve married better” we are done.
My 4 y.o. son insists on going first through the trees so he can make sure there are no thorns that can get me, and disarm all traps
My little gentleman 🫶🏻
If you are a woman who can afford to stay home and choose not to, I don’t understand you at all.
I’ve worked about 15 hours a week from home since my son was born 4.5 years ago. I resigned from a tenure track faculty position to be a mom, and I have zero regrets.
To help pay
Would you all mind praying for my heart? I have a big birthday this month, and without even realizing it was my birthday, my father-in-law & sister-in-law booked a trip that week to a theme park/waterpark for the whole family that we are expected to attend.
My FIL is paying for
In honor of my 40th birthday, I’m updating my profile pic! 🥳
Gone are the heavy filters of artificial youth 🫣
This is 40, in all its aged glory!
Which photo should I use?!
I’ve gone my ENTIRE LIFE without seeing P0RN & this week I’ve been violated by multiple disgusting images
This problem is getting WORSE
What can we do; stage a strike from Twitter X until
@elonmusk
does something?
Indecent exposure lands you in jail irl, why allow it here?
My 4 y.o. NEVER stops talking.
Maybe you think I’m exaggerating?
Once a day when we can’t take it anymore we retreat to our bedrooms for 20-30 minutes of “quiet time”, where he proceeds to talk to his stuffed animals the entire time 😳.
I met this handsome man when I was a 15 year-old in US History. The teacher moved him next to me so he would stop interrupting the class with his buddy. We got in trouble 2 wks later for passing notes 🫣
God dropped him on my front porch, about a month after my mom told me, "God's not gonna drop your husband on our front porch, you need to be busy doing what He wants you to do."
(He came to take piano lessons, which a friend had jokingly said would be how I'd meet my husband 🤣).
If I posted a profound essay on the meaning of life, I might get 20 likes ❤️
But if I post a picture of grilled cheese it gets over 750 🤔
Do y’all need a snack? 😂
My small group has been talking about confessing “ugly” sins to each other
One recently & ashamedly admitted her ugly sin was comparison with a rival sourdough maker
That is her ugly sin?! Lord I’m glad I didn’t go first. I feel like a wretch next to these sanctified ladies!
I’m working with a 16 year-old. The school realized last year this student was reading at barely a kindergarten level.
What is going on in the schools in this country?!
Do you lovingly rebuke a friend with rheumatoid arthritis for laziness when they are struggling from joint pain & fatigue? Or say a friend with cancer is not trusting God if they decide to get chemo?
My guess is no. Then why do we keep saying panic attacks are a sin?

She’s chasing him around with the camera and making him more upset. I agree it’s a parenting fail, but not for the same reason you said
I’ve got a big problem 😬
Someone talk me off a ledge!
The cream cheese frosting recipe made twice as much frosting as I needed for my carrot cake cupcakes, and now I’m standing in the kitchen with a spoon 🫣
