At what age were you completely independent of your parent or parents for financial support

I didn't even need to write my own comment because it's basically just this.

What was your grandfather’s name? Looking for a classic, vintage name for a boy.
 in  r/Names  1d ago

I have multiple grandfathers but my favorite name among them is Kent.

With my husband, but thank you.

Guys a girl at my school slipped this into my locker on friday- but I have a gf.
 in  r/teenagers  1d ago

I would not advise this. She might do something weird like tell OP girlfriend he said this or fixate on trying to break them up. Don't give false hope, just say you're flattered if you want to be polite.

Sounds cool but I could fill out the fields in the sign up from on mobile. So a little glitchy.

Amateur Photographer looking to fill their portfolio

We're eloping at the courthouse. Would you like to photograph that?

Naw you're totally off base.

My mom isn't controlling or anything, in fact quite the opposite. I spent my childhood running around in the woods and she's always respected my choices as an adult.

She just completely lacks social grace, that's the problem. I had to learn most etiquette things (e.g. waiting to start until everyone gets their food at a restaurant) as an adult from trial and error because my parents didn't teach me or set a good example.

I think she was just excited for me and didn't take 2 seconds to think about how she was overstepping. Once I told her to stop, she backed off immediately, but the damage was already done by then.

Short Torso Long Legs
 in  r/PetiteFashionAdvice  2d ago

I'm 5'3" with a very short torso and very long legs.

I really like high-neck tank tops. Unfortunately, it's very hard to figure out a bra situation that works, but for me it balances my proportions nicely.

Can we normalize refusing to perform services on children who don't want them?
 in  r/hairstylist  2d ago

I was the kid with the tangled hair, and begged my mom for years to let me cut it short because she was torturing me with the hairbrush every day. Eventually I cut it myself, and then she was forced to take me to a salon for a short cut to fix it.

My hair is curly, and now I detangle it wet with conditioner. I cannot brush it dry, it just hurts and causes breakage. No wonder I hated my long hair as a child. It's hard to maintain even as an adult.

I'm sick and tired of people making our wedding about them
 in  r/wedding  2d ago

My fiancé and I tried to do exactly this, and the one person I shared the date with (my mom) told the entire family. Even my dad's family, and they're not even together. Then they all planned a dinner for us on that day (without telling us) and asked to be there. They even tried to hire a photographer.

I had to put my foot down and tell them explicitly that nobody is invited. It really hurt my mom's feelings, but it has to be done.

Don't tell anyone about your 1-on-1 event.

Wedding dress help!
 in  r/Weddingsunder10k  2d ago

Sewing isn't going to be the issue here. I think replacing the back is not super complicated.

But finding a matching lace that looks like the rest of the dress could be really difficult, depending on how particular you are.

Currently, the lace on the sleeve and on the back is perfectly matched up along the shoulder seam, but that's not going to happen if you switch the fabric on the back. Just something to be aware of in case that bothers you.

Was this thrifted dress a bad purchase for me? (Slides 1&2)
 in  r/DressForYourBody  3d ago

It looks great, you just need a cross-back bra.

my underwear seems so never fully get cleaned in the wash
 in  r/laundry  4d ago

This improved a lot for me when I started separating the little things (socks, underwear, tank tops) from the bulky stuff (towels, hoodies, long skirts). The small stuff sometimes gets rolled up inside the bulky stuff. Not overloading the washing machine helps too.

The Basic Soft Gamine Silhouette 🦋

My favorite button down collared shirts have small floral prints or other patterns on them.

Bilingual ceremony
 in  r/weddingplanning  4d ago

Make sure you check the laws and ask your officiant!

The vows may need to be in a specific language, or in a language that your officiant understands so they can verify what you said. My fiancé and I ran into this issue.

My aunt said this dress emphasizes how flat chested I am. I bought it anyways, but now that I'm home I'm having second thoughts and thinking I should return it?
 in  r/DressForYourBody  4d ago

The dress accentuates your hourglass figure beautifully. I think it looks great.

I think your aunt is confusing "emphasizing" with "not obscuring."

The dress does not emphasize your chest at all. To me, it seems like she's advising you to go out of your way to cover up or hide this area of your body, like with a chunky sweater or a loose blouse. This is a crappy opinion and quite frankly she can go kick rocks because you look great and have nothing to hide.

This absolutely does not work for corporate jobs. Retail/service industry, sure.

I've been trying for 7 months to get a job through one of the many temp agencies in my area. Nothing.

What are dress pants/slacks, and what do dress pants for soft gamines look like?
 in  r/Kibbe  5d ago

This is an old post, but I just wanted to say that the answer to the cropped pants meeting the shoe issue is probably ankle boots.

Soft Gamine Interview and Office Wear Ideas?

I have a blazer that is both slim-fit and petite (short), which works perfectly for me. It was very hard to find though!

Petite ≠ tiny person: average height gamines
 in  r/Kibbe  5d ago

This perfectly describes me as well. I'm 5'3" but my hip bones are the same height as my 5'11" friend because I have long legs and a very short torso. I wear "long" pants and "petite" dresses/tops. Every one-piece swimsuit in existence is too long and most pants are awkwardly too short.

I thought I was TR but started second-guesting myself and came here because I read that SG has a bit of length somewhere, such as long limbs.

Just found out husband fabricated entire life...can I get an annulment, and how do I get him out?
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  5d ago

I went to high school with a compulsive liar.

He told me that he'd been in a terrible accident, broken every single bone, and had them all replaced with metal so now his body set off metal detectors.

He told me he was a spy for the CIA (we were 15).

My personal favorite, someone was telling a story about a fish they'd caught, and he responded with "well one time I caught a fish this big" and stretched his arms out to show us how gigantic it was. Just classic.

Plus little unimportant lies here and there, about just random stuff. It's like you said, I think he couldn't control himself and was addicted to trying to get attention.

He also slapped my ass so hard it left a handprint through my clothes, slapped his girlfriend across the face in front of the principle when she dumped him, and attempted to rape my friend in the forest.

Now I see on Facebook that he's married with a kid (she's a real trad-wife) and he posts about misogynistic manosphere stuff like "modern men are too feminine" and "women belong in the home." I sometimes wonder if his wife's account is a fake and it's all a fabrication.

What’s the most WTF thing you’ve ever heard someone casually admit like it was totally normal?
 in  r/AskReddit  5d ago

I had a 6-month relationship with a guy during my study abroad, and when it was time to go back home we were saying our goodbyes and breaking up. He invited me to get in touch for a hookup if I was ever back in his country to visit. I made a joke about how he'd probably have a wife my then or something.

He shrugged. "So what? I'd still meet up with you."

Bullet dodged I guess.

There was a neglected baby who had parts of her face eaten off by rats in my hometown. It happens.
