A major one is certainly not snooping through the things of the family you are babysitting for, which is what happened to one mom who was forced to fire her babysitter because of it.

Twitter recently erupted with users who had a childhood memory unlocked when one user tweeted about her family’s “sick bowl.” A mother’s revelation about using a family “sick bowl” has internet users debating about the concept. A “sick bowl” refers to any item, most commonly a bowl, that families provided for their sick children when hit with the stomach flu. If the children could not make it to the restroom before they got sick, they were given the bowl as a substitute for the toilet....

But when that item is something you shouldn’t have placed around them anyway, it’s hard to garner sympathy. One mother is getting slammed on Reddit for asking for advice after her child got ahold of her vape.

“Hey!” said my mother from the other side of the kitchen counter. I hadn’t meant for her to overhear, but she had and she’d taken personal offense, albeit passing, at my comment. Maybe my parents had thought the town was an adequate place to grow up when they’d moved me there. They had been renting a house from my grandparents since I was a baby, and had been eager to purchase one of their own — but there was no way they’d have been able to afford one in the wealthy suburban town where we’d lived at the time....

Premature childbirth because everyone got sick. Tiny little thing, dissatisfied with everything. These days my sister, despite going through it all, says that she is the happiest person because she has everything. Now six of us will get back on our feet in Vinnytsia and decide on the next move. No matter the place, there’s no feeling of complete safety anymore. That’s all over. In Mariupol, I worked at a chain beauty supply store, and my husband was out to sea for a year....

She grabbed my phone, did some swipes and some taps, and said “Good for you” into the microphone. Instantly, a guitar riff filled the car. As we bounced around to good 4 u, I was reminded of the girl-power rock I used to listen to way back in the Stone Age — I mean, the 90s. The song is catchy and cynical, everything I needed when I was a girl, throwing myself into relationships for which I was wholly unprepared....

What is the Phantom Time Hypothesis? The TikToker introduces the Phantom Time Hypothesis, a conspiracy theory she says claims “that the Middle Ages in fact didn’t exist and we are actually living in the 18th century.” She goes on to explain that time didn’t quite add up when society switched to the Gregorian calendar from the Julian calendar in the late 1500s, causing us to skip a big chunk of time — 300 years of time, to be exact....

Most of us in the United States, at least, were lucky enough to have never experienced a lockdown or a quarantine before that fateful March day when everything shut down. The last global pandemic was in 1918, after all! So it’s no surprise that some of us did some stuff in those first brain-scrambling weeks of the pandemic that now seems a little misguided, ill-advised, or maybe even downright nuts in the comparatively less panic-stricken days of almost-2023....

To say my love life has been complicated for me is an understatement. One major thing that I learned, though, is that I’m sick of complicated things. I’m tired of trying to mold love into something I can hold between my fingertips. I despise being torn between what’s right and what’s wrong, or what I should do, and who I should love. But with you, it’s not about any of that....

It’s that piece of wisdom that we hear on the daily, but hardly ever decide to commit to. Even now after fully understanding all the truth behind it, I still find myself getting caught up in other people’s opinions and completely forgetting about my own. Not cool. Sometimes we (meaning me) think we’re the center of everyone’s universe, and people all around us are very concerned with what we’re doing....
