@brandonhli@Airbnb as a long-time Airbnb host, this makes me so sad. We are moving away from the platform, but not renting our our extra space, because of these type of experiences. Guests are amazed that I am an actual human being, not a corporate landlord. Corporate landlords should be banned.
@clhubes@RayRedacted I have a lot of memories of the oldest saying things like “here, take my cookie, it’s not broken” because she was old enough not to care. They are now self-described best friends.
@clhubes@RayRedacted It’s not just the gap but the parenting. If you raise them to be competitive-that’s what you get! Mine are 3.5 yes apart and when the youngest hit toddler phase the oldest was ready to accept the tantrums.
@CynicalTherapi1 1970s. Begged for individual frozen pot pies for dinner, mom finally caved and got them, 5 bites in mine had a grasshopper under the crust.
@bethrevis @Djilna Like, in countries (like US) where it is hard/expensive is there a reason to make travel more difficult? If you are saying ‘we are the best’ or ‘our way is the only right way’ then maybe you want to keep ppl from seeing that it’s not best/right.
@bethrevis @Djilna I would be interested to compare places it’s easy/places it’s hard. This makes me think about the early Colonial US laws AGAINST colonists joining indigenous groups but there were not similar rules the other way.
