@DLHappens @Homeschool_LLC Not offended - I wonder why you take disagreement as offence? It's simply that your insistence on judging other people by their family structures rather than the content of their characters is, ans always has been, tiresome.

@DLHappens @Homeschool_LLC 'Broken home students'? 😬😬 I'm a graduate of two of the UK's best universities, a teacher... and the daughter of a single parent. The only things other kids were going to 'catch' off me were good grades, solid character and ambition.

@levijvmes @d4w5pjyqgz @kaseyklimes @moseskagan That's such a strange parental attitude though. If you make the choice to be a parent, that is you making a lifelong commitment to the baby you chose to bring in to the world. Not you chucking them out at 18 to sink or swim 🤷‍♀️

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@levijvmes @d4w5pjyqgz @kaseyklimes @moseskagan Yep, I think it is US centric. I'm in the UK, and managed to buy a house on my own this last year because I had the chance to save on rent by living with my mum. I don't think you hear of this same attitude in the US.

@Floatymcfloater @Tcaffair @MJAL27157258 @LBC Nope. More rental properties means fewer properties available to be purchased. This means that those which are for purchase are more expensive - basic supply and demand. More houses on the market = hopefully prices going down.

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@Tcaffair @MJAL27157258 @LBC Yes, maybe someone who is currently being exploited as a tenant in the rental market will be able to own and live in their own home. Excellent news.

@BillyPilchards @GreenJennyJones @JournalistJill Is it the fault of Afghan women? I assure you that they are 'not getting' to do far more than play cricket.

@cyb_droid @ZackAda09614652 @KarenLosAngeles @ASneath22 Happy New Year! 😘😘😘

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@cyb_droid @ZackAda09614652 @KarenLosAngeles @ASneath22 Sorry, was this addressed to me? I genuinely hope that 2025 is a better year for you, and that you get the love and care you need to heal your bitterness towards others ❤❤❤

@mystalkerisadik @socdoc100 You get weekends off, right? Days off when you're sick? Holiday time? When does your wife get those things, or is she just expected to be on call all the time?

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@ZackAda09614652 @KarenLosAngeles @ASneath22 Oooof that's genuinely awful. Lots of people in the UK talk about it being really tough to buy, but this really does take the biscuit.

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@ZackAda09614652 @KarenLosAngeles @ASneath22 😂😂😂😂 at $1700 a month! I'm in the UK, my mortgage is nowhere near this. What's causing these issues with the US economy?

@LibertyJen @Zoniax73 @AnitaBeerToday Person with a gun as their profile picture talking about protecting children. You couldn't make it up.

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@KillianHough @ineedanothernap It's a bit infantilising to suggest that, just because OP is a SAHM, she needs to have her choices validated by other adults, isn't it?

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@Brennan55777 @ineedanothernap Aunt totally should - this will reassure her niece that she is absolutely making the right choice 👍

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@Hamultonne @ReeseAbreishard @CrankyFed In fact, it's almost ridiculously idealistic to believe that humans are capable of kindness, love and compassion towards each other without the threat of eternal damnation....

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@jgbgt @melaniedesmith @teaforpterosaur @madameask @lea_la_2eme Nah. Single mum who understood that good parenting requires a lot of effort. If you're not working hard at parenting, you're not doing it right, quite frankly.

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@jgbgt @melaniedesmith @teaforpterosaur @madameask @lea_la_2eme Or their parents, like my single working mother, could get them a library card at 18 months old and share the joy of books with them from an early age 🤷‍♀️ 'Boredom/deprivation vs. technology' is a false dichotomy and you might consider who benefits from parents falling for it...

[S-L @indifferent_red]

@jgbgt @melaniedesmith @teaforpterosaur @madameask @lea_la_2eme She 'wants to watch the iPad' because you have provided her with one and taught her that it is an option. Children aren't born craving screentime.
