This is actually good. She’s at least trying.
There are a metric fuck ton of self absorbed assholes that don’t even manage to do that.
“If I give you things, that is me expressing the love you apparently desire. Here you are.”
It’s sad to see, but she’s trying. A lot of narcissists are like that. Transactional, kind of.
My Narcissist dad would do the same thing. Every once in a while, he’d go way out of his way to make me happy by purchasing a shitload of something. I want to believe that he did it because he felt guilty for being a shitty dad, but deep down I know it was just a manipulation tactic to win me over so that he can maintain control.
Unfortunately therapy didn’t work for him because he only listened to the parts he wanted to hear, and used it as a weapon against the entire family. When he died 5 years ago I was both saddened and relieved. Dude really knew how to suck all the energy out of the room.
That’s actually… sweet, in a way 💜
Also savoury, and a little bit salty.
Lmao 😂💜
You benefitted from the cheese sale, your mom’s lack of impulse control, her attempt to be nice, and, in the future, maybe from her feeling good about giving you stuff.
Quesadilla time! Send mom a pic.
Me, an arrogant European : “cheese”
Did you screenshot another post to post?
Eh. I stopped getting upset about this after noticing how many sites deliberately make it difficult to copy and paste content from them. Screenshots are just one of the few ways to quickly get around these restrictions. Sure, there are always technical ways around it, but usually you just go with the most expedient option.
That is actually incredibly cute
You’re surrounded. Surrender now. There is no hope, you must eat all that cheese. Them’s the rules of cheese warfare
Weirder that they dropped it all on the floor and made a social media post.
Assuming it’s true, why is that weird? It’s really funny.
Freeze the cheese. It defrosts pretty well.
… and nobody was disappointed.
Imagine my surprise seeing the title, and all I can think of is Ashens saying this during a review about the Chef Excellence’s stay fresh cheese bags. Haven’t watched him in ages.
Well, rest assured, we’re just a hair over 3 weeks away from the christmas advent calander adventure him and nerdcubed do every year.
Genuinely the high point of the christmas season.
Wow, congrats on getting your narcissist parent into therapy, though!
Usually, they insist that they’re perfect already and don’t need therapy.
No shit, we went into relationship counseling with a therapist she knew. When it came to be that that therapist suggested that she, as the adult, basically had the responsibility, instead of parroting her pinning the blame on me, suddenly the blame shifted to the therapist.

There’s something very sweet about the idea of someone with little to no capacity for emotions trying to learn how to show love
I agree, this touched me. I hope it’s true, in a weird way
