Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "you BAKE miette?"
Happy Monday, and happy last day of May! I hope you’re doing okay. Seriously. And now, internet things.

And for the month of June, we’re going to be doing all Sandra Bullock movies, starting this Wednesday with Two Weeks Notice. You should subscribe!

TWEETS!
REDDIT!
You are married to a full-grown baby:
We went and had a great time until his father suggested a drinking contest. Basically a family tradition to see who could drink the most cups of watered down beer in a set time. It's usually only my father in law, husband, bil, and sil's husband, this time i wanted to try out too and challanged my husband to one. He laughed and said ok. Well i won and he got very frustrated. He pulled me into a empty room and started saying how i embarrased him and it was 'emasculating' for him and how i should be sorry.
These parents make me furious! Nobody is required to kiss anybody, on the cheek or anywhere!!
My mom said that I only added salt to his wounds when I wouldn’t kiss him, because apparently I made him feel like I thought he was disgusting or gross, which was also not the case. I was okay with hugging. When my mom brought up the kiss again, I told her that it just made me uncomfortable and it was not a knock to him. But she just folded her arms and said, “Why were you uncomfortable??? It was only a kiss on the cheek! You’re overreacting.” I tried explaining how I determine what I’m okay with and how it’s different because it’s her husband, etc. but she just cut me off and told me she didn’t feel like talking about the situation anymore.
Aaaaand more terrible parenting:
Despite her advanced reading level, the only books she wants to read are the I Survived series and the A-Z mysteries. Both of these books are far below her reading level so I told her it’s fine if she wants to read them in school but at home she has to read things closer to her level.
I’ve taken her to bookstores and we’ve looked through the young adult section but she refuses to read any of the books. She says they’re all boring and gross. She always asks to get books from the children’s section but I’ve said no because they’re too easy for her.
Rose has started sneaking books home from school and when I started taking those away, she stopped reading in general.
This husband HAS to be doing this on purpose as a fucked-up power play:
He'll get me foods i hate or am allergic to regularly. We have had conversations about many of these things multiple times. Well I finally snapped yesterday. I've been sick and asked him to grab me some soup from the store. I5 told him just get something soft and easy to swallow because its hard to eat, just to do something basic like tomato soup or chicken noodle. He got me beef stew and lobster bisque. I'm allergic to all types of fish and shellfish and don't really eat meat at all. Not to mention those are both chunky and not something I can handle eating. Hes done similar things several times in the past few weeks.
