I've Heard The Idea Put Out That Some (most? I Don't Know) Parents Give An Allowance Based On Doing Chores

I've heard the idea put out that some (most? I don't know) parents give an allowance based on doing chores to instill some understanding of being rewarded for one's work; e.g., basic capitalism. However I think your parents did far more to teach you about the realities of capitalism.

getting an allowance to me has always seemed weird cuz I mean my parents never paid me or my siblings for doing chores and stuff they always say stuff like “oh well I give you a place to live, I buy you clothes, I feed you, the least you can do is chores why would we pay you for that” and for the longest time I thought that kids getting an allowance from their parents was just something in books and movies but apparently not

I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to

make up some lie, or

eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.

So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”

I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.

MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.

Well now how can I not give people dinosaurs? Please take good care of it and figure out what it actually eats, okay?

reblog to give the person you reblogged it from a dinosaur (please please pleaseeee i want dinos and you deserve some too)

That's beautiful! "Fun and games lady" can go fornicate herself. (It might help with whatever her problem is.) If we weren't already planning to get our house painted in pride rainbow colors, I would want something like this.

If this doesn't encourage people to vote I don't know what will..... ✌️

I once saw someone with an "America - love it or leave it" sign on their lawn doing repairs on their home. I was so fucking confused.
