      @@tiasnails3552 in America we have amendments. Consider them basic rights that all Americans are entitled to. The 5th amendment is the right not to testify against yourself if accused of committing a crime. So when someone says “I plead the fifth” they’re saying that they’re going to remain silent and not to answer the question and not incriminate themselves. It’s become popular to say in casual conversation when someone doesn’t want to divulge information. So when Jen didn’t want to answer Cristine and she said “I plead the fifth” Cristine reminded her that “we’re in Canada” because it’s an American thing. But as Jen said afterward Canada has a similar legislation. I’m not Canadian so I’m not sure what they have in regards to self incriminating.

      I completely agree. The issue of parenthood is no one’s business but their own. They might want kids and are trying, they might want them but can’t have them, they might want to wait or they might never want them. It’s none of our business and I find it extremely shocking that people just ask, like it’s their right to know.

    Yes, we need to stop asking women when they are going to have kids. I am a married 30+ year old lady and even though we are planning on having a baby one day, we are NOT ready. And I am always being constantly asked why we're waiting and to just have one and we will figure it out. We are not ready, period. Becoming a parent is a big decision and it should be taken seriously. A baby/ child is not a cute puppy, it's a big deal.

    @India.R120 2 года назад +536

    Going back to the question about sexist jokes or comments, I’ve found that a good way to deal with those sorts of comments (be it sexist, racist, etc.) is to make them explain it. I definitely use this a lot if I’m worried about the person becoming aggressive if I just blatantly and assertively call them out. Like “Wait I don’t think I understand the joke, what’s the punchline?” Because then they have to explain directly that they think of women or a certain race as inferior, and by now they most likely know that’s not an acceptable thing to just directly say out loud. So even if they don’t acknowledge or even really recognize they’re being terrible, it at least still makes them think about it and puts them in check a bit, and conveys that it’s not funny.

    One of my favorite ways to call people out when they make inappropriate comments or jokes is to ask, "Can you explain why that's funny?' or a variation of asking why they're saying what they're saying because more often than not they get choked up and don't know how to respond because they know the meaning behind what they said is wrong.

      My older sister was never interested in providing guidance or advice growing up or like Cristine did at college-age. I understand that she had emotional difficulties, but she really lashed out at me and I think used putting me down to make herself feel better. It didn't help that my mother often pitted us against each other. Now, as adults, she just seems completely uninterested in becoming closer. Definitely a bummer.

    re: asking people when they are having kids
    My husband and I silently dealt with my infertility for years and it was always so uncomfortable when people would ask us about having kids. One woman my husband used to work with asked us when we will have a baby, and we said maybe down the road since he was finishing university. This woman kept harping about how cute and sweet babies are and why don't we want one now.🤦🏻‍♀️ We were not comfortable sharing our struggles, so it was a very difficult situation for me.
    Now I am open about my infertility so if someone asks such a personal question, I tell them "I have been trying for x number of years" and that seems to make them uncomfortable enough to leave me alone😂
    edit to add: I don't mind if someone says "do you think you might want kids someday?"

    On 40:00, about dating and telling your parents... I come from a strict muslim family with a line of arranged marriages and female child brides. Yeah there was no way I could communicate to my parents about who I wanted to date, my romantic interests and such. It was awful and I was abused very badly for many reasons but this contributed a lot to the abuse. If you are in this situation, your parents will often NEVER listen or change. They have proven through their actions you cant be vulnerable with them and trust them with that kind of info. Do not share sensitive info with them for your own safety and start making plans to leave if you havent.

    RE: Strict dad - I don't know what your existing relationship is with your dad, but if it's reasonable to discuss it, I'd recommend asking him what his dreams and desires are for your future. This will give you an understanding of his perspective. If he has a ridiculous fantasy of you being a single virgin forever, him saying it out loud might just help him realize that he is being ridiculous since he is talking to an 18 year old woman. You can also try asking him about his relationship with your mother and how he fell in love with her... Or ask him how he would judge a man's character. You'll probably learn a lot about what your dad values in young men, which will help you prepare your BF to meet him. You might also pick up some wisdom from a man/husband/father's perspective. I think a good way to get around a strict parent is to talk to them from the point of wanting to ask/learn from their experience. This shows that you respect their opinion/experience and also opens them up to considering that you're an adult going through thinking about your romantic future.

      Honestly I just feel like once you’re an adult and moved out, their opinions shouldn’t really matter that much as they aren’t paying your bills and you’re an adult. Like they don’t have to live your life, YOU have to live your life. Like honestly f strict fathers, I think it’s bs and sexist. As an adult my parents have absolutely no bearing on my life and I make my own decisions without any input from them. I don’t need their permission for anything anymore. If parents are bad with boundaries (as many parents of all cultures are) you just have to keep setting boundaries and not letting them have any control over your life.

    OK, so now I know how people feel when they listen to my mom, my sister, my daughters and me in the same room. We all have different demeanor and vocabulary, but we have similar mannerisms, enunciation and voice tone that if you are not so familiar with us all we could at a certain extent sound like the same person is talking.
    You have such a similar voice tone that if I'm just listening to this podcast in the background without context I might not realize it's 2 different people.
    But as soon as start paying attention is clearly obvious and I'll add endearing because you reminded me of my sister and myself (and my daughters).

    My go-to answer for "when are you getting married??" "When are you having kids??" is "When I want [insert forced-upon milestone here], I'll get them." I know I'll never want kids. I know I'll never want to get married, but telling someone that you'll cross that bridge when you get to it shuts them up without being rude or confrontational. Granted, being confrontational or rude in response to invasive questions is totally justified imo. I'm just someone who hates making waves.

    I loved hearing all these stories. In my family it's just me and my sister sibling wise. I'm the youngest, (22) and my sister is older (23). We actually have the same birthday, so we're exactly a year apart. Honestly we were raised as twins since we were so close in age. When you guys were talking about how you couldn't remember any physical fights, I remembered so many with me and my sister. When I was probably ~10 I was chasing my sister up the stairs and bit her, I ended up losing a tooth. Then when we were teenagers we were cleaning the room we shared and my sister threw a glass cup at me and I ended up needing stitches on my cheek right under my eye.
    But hey, now we're best friends.

    • @kalum312

      Never thought I would see another story of someone losing a tooth biting a sibling (my first tooth loss actually). I remember fighting with my younger sister all through childhood. Never anything to the point of needing a hospital visit, but bloody noses, bites and scratches weren't uncommon. We got along sooooo much better after I moved out for college. Just like Cristine and Jen said, when you aren't forced to live with them, the dynamic changes.

I don’t want to be a parent and I don’t want to hurt some kid who can sense that.”

    You two are the first example that I've found of a sister dynamic that is similar to how my sister and I are. It used to make me incredibly sad how much most of my friends would hate their siblings, but especially sister dynamics whereas me and my sister were always, and still are, each other's best friend. In fact, most of those friends hated OUR relationship so much because they wanted what we had, I've had my weird fair share of threats (and being physically attacked) from some of her friends who outright hated me for being closer to my sister than them LOL. I definitely can attribute that to how our mom raised us and just the amount of shit we experienced growing up that shaped us to rely on each other and be close. I am always thankful for that, to know I can depend on her and be there for each other, good times and bad.

That or the person first period had to clean it 😵 thankfully no one saw me! But that was embarrassing.

      That happened to me once in high school. I was in class with a skirt so I didn't notice, when I standed up a classmate saw the chair covered in blood. It looked like a horror movie haha. Thanks god this guy was a super normal and friendly kid so he told me to go and buy a pad (in my high school sold pads) and he cleaned the chair without telling anyone. He actually took the blame and told the teacher he had an accident wit his juice or something and went bring the janitors mop. I really appreciate that, always remember him. That kid wasn't even my friend, he was one of the popular kids. He never said something about that to me I did thanked him a lot later, because that day we just didn't say anything to each other. I thank so much his mom too, she must have teached him right about those topics. Also he had a sister one year younger, so I guess he knew about periods and stuff. I'm from Costa Rica, for context reference.
      When I was in school and the teacher started teaching us about periods, took all the boys out for the teaching part 🙃 Boys knew nothing. At that time it really was amaze, I didn't knew how to react at the moment jaja, so I went and bought the pad as he had told me and change in the bathroom, went back to the class and the kid was cleaning the chair as if it was his chair and in my seat (next to him of course) was another chair instead. We really should/need to normalize periods and helping other people is such a normal thing..

    I want to add my POV on the "compared to your sibling" question. I was the youngest of 4, 2 older brothers and one older sister. I was also very feminine, even more so when compared to my siblings (sister included) none of my siblings did exceptionally well in school, but school was always super easy for me- so my entire life not only did i feel different from my siblings- but I was also reminded every time i turned around that i was different. By everyone who knew my family, by my teachers, by our relatives etc. It made me feel incredibly isolated growing up, and in a lot of way put incredible pressure on me to be "better"
    I remember even my 1st grade teacher telling me she had taught all of my siblings, and she could tell i wasnt going to "be like them" - which in hindsight is pretty fucked up to tell a first grader..
    Anyway.. The sibling comparing is real.

    • @edenflynn2524
      @edenflynn2524 2 года назад

      It really is. I was the only girl of three kids and was pushed to be hyper-femme because my mom “prayed for me”. My older brother and younger brother both were naturally outgoing and charismatic, and we were all really smart, but I struggled more in school than they did. My older brother was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and everyone was always really impressed with him for overcoming his obstacles and being “oh so brave” and whatnot, but I didn’t get diagnosed with my conditions until later, so for almost all of my school years it was the “what’s wrong with you? What can’t you be more like your brothers? Why do you always dress like a boy? You’re my only girl” Yadda yadda yadda. Come to find out I too had ADHD, only people had expected me to behave “normal”. I also got diagnosed with severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder and clinical depression. Having a parent who didn’t believe in mental health was another obstacle, but now that we’re over that hill and I’m on meds, I’m doing so much better. And on top of that, turns out I’m androgynous, but little kid me never had a word for it until I grew up a got to college. Being compared to siblings is such an emotional detriment.
      All THAT aside, what honestly helped me out is that my brothers both loved me a lot and saw how differently our mom treated me from them. When I finally broke down and told them how much it was hurting me, they supported me and helped me confront her about it. It didn’t fix everything overnight, but knowing they had my back and seeing my mom at least START to try to change meant a lot for me. I was really lucky to have a strong bond with my brothers, because I know a lot of people can end up resenting their siblings when they’re compared, but we all kinda knew we were different people, and we enjoyed seeing each person doing their own thing. In the end, I don’t think my mom would have ever stopped if they hadn’t been there to reaffirm my experiences, because I was usually written off as the “dramatic one” since I would bottle everything up until I exploded. My younger brother and I both coming out as queer also helped to shake off those last bits of bad habits, because she realized we were never going to meet the standards she’d set for us (for him having a wife and kids, for me being a girl’s girl and living life as a womanly woman, jury’s still out on the husband possibility because men and women are both pretty hot tbh) and that REALLY made her have to re-examine her expectations. Now she just wants us to be happy and stable… and she wants granbabies from my older brother and granbabies/adopted granbabies from me LMAO but it’s to be expected when she has granbabies from my stepsisters now
