Just saw an ad

Funded by a conservative organization that may have just shot them in the foot.

It essentially went along the lines of a female voice listing “problems” like “open immigration, changes to health care, an immediate tax increase, and then impeachment. Is that what you really want? Any vote for a democrat brings us closer to this chaos”

What would one of you millennials say?

“Sign me the fuck up.”

Apparently you only need to be registered to vote and then vote democratic, according to that commercial.

I really hate to even ask, but could you tell me if this is reasonable? I tried talking to my mom about what I need to actually function in the house, and I asked about boundaries like being able to ask for a break so that I can just not lose my shit when talking about stuff that’s deeply triggering, or really just being able to set any kind of boundary. I got told that no one gets boundaries, and that she certainly doesn’t because of all the other shit going on. Was that too much of me?

No. Everyone gets boundaries. Apparently her boundary is that she gets to invade everyone else’s boundaries. That’s selfish of her. Stand your ground and tell her that any counselor or therapist worth their water would say that establishing and maintaining boundaries is how we demonstrate respect for one another, and how we regulate the ways we communicate so as to produce constructive results.

Ask your mother what boundaries she’d like to have and tell her you’re willing to onserve hers if she returns the courtesy.

And now for something completely different: any advice for what I should ask for in return, if I crochet another pair of custom-fit socks for my mother? (She got upset when I tried to charge her for the first pair, but we worked it out by saying that it’d count as her Christmas present.) Only because sock yarn is thin and thus it takes ages to work up, so I’d want some compensation not for my effort, but for my time.

Personally I just wouldn’t make her anymore. Tell her to buy you a T-shirt or something in return, I suppose.
