Does this happen to all women?

I feel like I attract weirdos. I’m happily married. And every job I’ve worked at I have had horrible interactions with men. I worked at a gas station for a while and while I was there, I had a stalker, he literally had to be chased off by one of the other employees. And when I told my boss that a different man was asking questions about what vehicle I drove and waiting out in the parking lot for five hours to see when I would leave from my shift to follow me home, my boss( a man) told me to be meaner and did nothing.

when I was a CNA a guy grabbed my ass then same day I went to Walmart and as I’m in the dark parking lot two 6 foot four guys are at the back of their trunk asking me to come smell the perfumes they had.

Recently, my husband brought friends over and one of them hit on me in front of my husband, another one told his friend he would”bang me” if he had a chance. (Both of these guys are no longer welcome in our house)

and this is literally not even the worst experiences I’ve had as a woman!

IM JUST SO DONE! I’ve developed being shy because I hate it. Does anyone else feel like this? Why can’t women just be human?

Lol girl I could have written this cuz shit like this happened to me too. Idk why I attract weirdos as well. I always wonder what abt me makes these men feel like I am the perfect victim. I just want to exist without worrying abt unwanted male attention. I even had to change the way I dress and my demeanor to maybe hopefully scare these weird men off. Bt I fucking hate it

Long trip?

Hey , we’re going on holiday to the coast 3.5 hrs away in a couple months and my 2 year old is toilet trained but wears pull ups at nap and bed time. Sometimes she will do a little dribble in her pants on her way to the loo but generally she does well
My concern is the road trip, do I put her in a pull ups at or hope that she can hold out till we stop?
It’s going to be tricky washing and drying the car seat on holiday so I’m wondering what other people do, I’m worried the pull up for the car might confuse her!

Toys at grandparents home

Just wondering if Im being weird about this?
My MIL lives about 15 mins away I take our daughter there quite a bit, she has nothing kid friendly at her house so I asked her to get a couple toys that can live there so I dont have to bring toys every time we go over...she said yeah yeah and thats shes ordered some stuff on amazon. Turns out what she ordered was just table corner protectors, no toys or anything. So I asked again and she said that our baby doesnt need toys, she will just find things about the house to occupy herself like the tv remote.
I get it but at the same time if I thought like that then my child would be playing with wires, keys, my phone, batteries ect and not baby friendly things at my home so it doesnt make sense to me? She needs age appropriate toys. I take her there at least once a week, sometimes more... so its a lot for me to take everythint all the time, I bring the baby, all her nappies, spare clothes ect plus toys, things for her to eat ect. All im asking for are a fee toys that live at their house.
I know I could leave my own toys there but she complained about me 'not letting her be grandma' when our daughter was first born because I wanted to recover at home for a week and when we did visit I wanted to hold my baby more than she expected. So now Im like.... you wanted to be grandma, im asking you to help me out as grandma and buy your granddaughter a couple of toys for your house and you wont do it?
Ive ended up leaving a walker and a couple toys there and a couple spoons and a bowl . She has the walker behind the sofa and doesn't get it out when we do go round or anything Ive left. So I feel like I have to still bring toys there.
My dad lives 2 hours away, we've gone to visit 3 times since our daughter was born and hes bought toys and a high chair for her and bowls and spoons for her and I didnt even ask him to.
So me asking grandma who lives 15 mins away to buy a couple toys to make things easier for me and she wont doesnt sit right with me at all? Am I wrong. I
And I do bring toys from our house to grandma's everytime we go but theyre toys my daughter likes the most that week so im not going to leave them there. I left a couple bits but what Im asking is for her to get some as well so lighten my load.

How would you interpret the phrase “at times, it appears they are working together in ways that are unsafe for others.”

In reference to a set of 4.5 year old twins, in an email from their teachers (the first time they’ve reached out about any type of physical incident with another child).

Do you think the teachers mean the twins are teaming up to intentionally be “unsafe” to others?

potty training!

i want to start potty training our daughter, she’s 16 months old. i saw somewhere that waiting till they’re ready is key but when exactly would i know that’s she’s ready? do i start her on the toilet with a baby seat or get a little potty? we’re in the process of building our home to move out of my parents house, would it be better to wait to start till we’re moved in? i also saw that telling them “it’s okay” when having an accident is not recommended, what should i say instead? please help my parents don’t remember hahahaha
