On top of that, people are hoping it kills you, and are cheering for your death.
Being anything else than a cartoonishly obedient dog = death
Worth it 😃😃😃🤢🤮😃😃😃
Thats why you eat your cookies on Friday and hope you don’t get called in before 10am on Saturday
There’s definitely this aspect, but at least for me with strict parents there’s also loads of examples of:
‘Huh, doing this particular chore every two weeks instead of every week doesn’t actually cause any real problems and isn’t a world ending disaster like my parents seemed to claim’
Becoming an adult meant finding out just how much of my childhood was personal preference of my parents and not some sort of objectively correct way to live. Life has been a lot better now that I can do things the way I prefer.
Depends on the parents. Most of us swing out the other way and test out other ways of being. I don’t clean like my parents did when I was growing up, but getting used to it then means it’s now not a big deal when that is required. I’d like to clean more than I do, and one day I will. It’s not a big deal and I’d rather spend the time with my kids. One day they’ll help me clean regularly. I was given 5 chores a day (in addition to regular things you encounter across your day). It’ll depend on the amount of time to complete, but I’ll probably have my kids do 2-3 per day. Just part of preparing them to live on their own, while we get some help with the workload to maintain a home.
Weakness disgusts me
I am in this meme…and I do not like it
If I have 28 cookies I already planned on eating them in one sitting. This is why I rarely buy snacks. I know I will eat them quickly.
Just ate half a box of crackers for breakfast.
Ate an entire bag of mini chocolate frosted donuts for breakfast at 2pm.
This was me with beer. Gave it up over 15 years ago, as what was making me feel shitty about it was putting out the recycling bin filled with beer bottles and cans… and realizing just how much money I was spending on something that was doing nothing good for me. Stopped drinking in 2009 and don’t miss it a bit. Saving a lot more money as well…
Coming up on 1000 days, and yeah, don’t miss it a touch, fuck booze, if anyone out there feels they need to quit, stay strong, it really is better on the other side
Been sober for 30 years now and in all that time, I’ve felt the same about everything since … I feel like a kid most times and I like doing a million things, watching movies, playing games, going online, reading, working on my shop, motorcycle mechanics, engine mechanics, wood working, building and learning a hundred other things.
Instead of killing or dulling my senses, I enjoy doing anything and everything at my own pace.

Me IRL with double stuffed vanilla Oreos family size. That shit is gone in 2 days if its next to me. Which is why I don’t buy cookies or bread anymore.
The training wheels for free will come off after a certain point but by then you should know how to ride the bike! 👍
I come across a lot of angsty rebellious teenagers in my line of work. This is a lesson some of them never learn. That “freedom” that they yearn for and lash out at everyone…
I tell them that they’re about to be adults. They could literally go outside and eat dirt, never shower again and only speak in swear words; and no one will come to arrest them. The things that the parents said weren’t for the parents’ benefit, and those training wheels are about to fall off pretty soon.

It’s very true. Manipulating your own motivation when reward is sooo easy to access is a pain in the butt. I always feel like I’m punishing myself when I deny. Then, I tell myself “if you need it today, you’ll need it tomorrow…what’s the healthy equivalent (of thing)?” So I get a little treat. Just not a cookie. :(
