Low effort jokes on someone's name with no other context have been cringe for a while.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

My dentist had once warned against the likes of Toothsi but this kind of practise is extremely unsafe. How are medical authorities even letting it slide?

Things that remind of childhood ❤️

Founder

It is like watching Baghban and crying my children don't love me.
No one sees how the parents were selfish too

Parents won't go to therapy, but will fuck their minds listening to BK Shivani, Jaya Kishori and sorts

Consultant

Middle class parents have always saved up money, cutting out trivial expenses 
When kids get their own money, they want to shake up things - order in or eating out. Dragging down the health (and wealth) that parents built over the years

Was in a mall food court and saw parents - simple and humble - enjoying the little burger and fries, while being proud of their son/daughter being all grown up
I am guilty of this too

WHy are we like this

Kids grow up, start earning and take parents to fast food chains to experience "luxury"

My parents sent me this screenshot saying its their episode next on the podcast!

I know they are pulling my legs but It looks eerily true to my situation

Taking care of mental health is important too 🤌

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Dual Income and No Kids sounds very attractive but advice from people in their late 20s and 30s is probably too biased to be considered sound advice.

Wanted to understand how couples who took that decision in their 30s feel today.

Do you regret it?
Do you feel purposeless?
Do you feel lonely?
Do you feel the FOMO?

And so on.

Any DINK couples in their 40s? How do you really feel?

What is one of basic things you realised too late?

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then.

Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood.

I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society.

Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid.

Now that child is gone and the dream has too. 
But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰

This podcast speaks volumes about how parenting can destroy a child’s life, emotions and ambitions.

After raj shamani’s podcast I believe that parents can be toxic too.

When your dad asks for phone

My mother is diagnosed with Grade 4 liver damage today. She also has Type 2 diabetes which "does not subside"

She doesn't eat any sugars, cut out starch, very very occasional outside/packaged food, no alcohol, has been working (job and household), works around clock in the house
Taking allopathic medicines for diabetes, now may start diet restrictions for Liver damage too

Strongly feel she is being mis-diagnosed. 
The hospitals and diagnostic centre are trying to milk healthy people too. How else do you keep up revenue

Have you faced similar situations? What can be done here?

P.S. Most of the doctors we have met are big C, the ones who sound genuine are the ones not treating 😪

Have a hypothesis that medical testing is finding illnesses so we never go off their market

Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way?

Some examples -
- to lose weight, focus on walking and fully come to normal BMI and then only do weight training. But, research suggests weight training to be more beneficial for both weight loss and increasing metabolism
- we should drink hot water to lose weight. What?😂
- get married early and marriage is the only way to go!
- our screen time shouldn't be more with mobile, but rather with tv
- don't use earphones, they damage ears
- Some fruits are beneficial for diabetes

Don't get me wrong, I love relatives. I just don't enjoy someone giving advice when I didn't ask them. Especially when I can't trust their source of information for anything - life advices, religion, shastra,  traditions, women's rights etc.

And, I am really tired fighting battle and tackling so much misinformation about everything. All I do is just listen to them and move on!

Wanted to know what do you guys do?

How do you deal with unsolicited advice of relatives?

Apparently, a family of cats had adopted our family some time back (Have food from here, stay at our place, essentially not inside - but kind of welcome to kitchen and other places when threats loom around). 

It's been almost 3 generations now. Now, the main thing that I need your help with: 

One of them became mother to 3 kittens yesterday. All of us have ran out of names for them, since it's been a lot now. Please suggest some good names for them 😇
(we always name them something and end up knowing that we got their gender wrong - anyway I don't know that yet)

Not related, but sharing with you all:
- they really like vegetables as much as milk/non-veg
- they kind of shout for food at sharp 7:00 am, and my mom and dad gives them the same (they adore dosa and tea)
- They do understand what we say, and behave accordingly. Apparently, a couple of them call my mother 'amma' or 'ma' in a much sweeter way than me!
- They know how to stand up and remove locks from the doors.

Folks, need your help! A bit out of context!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

What's that one problem that you face everyday and feel like there must be a product or service to solve this shit


Answer honestly, your inputs really matters a lot

Serious Question

I am 33M, started working at 20. Earned 87LPA when I was dropped off in June 23. I am a very responsible person who had taken care of everything in the family for quite some time. My parents and relatives and everyone else who know me well, know this and kost have appreciated this at some point.
My sister separated from her husband 6 months after my marriage and had been living with me and my wife since then till COVID hit.
My mother has anger issues and my father is very obedient to her. I love my parents and they loved me I think.
Post COVID I moved to my hometown (because family) and things started going downhill. My mother will almost entire day find every faults in my wife and share it with everyone with an angry tone. I just listened to her initially for 2 years but at times I told her that it's enough.
Now she has started fighting me. After the fight I would go and apologize to her knowing that it's not my fault just to make things right.
This time when my mother fought with me she taunted me that you will come back and apologize. This hurted me even more than the fight.
Now I am not going back to apologize and she's escalating it every day. Convinced my father and my eldest sister(happily married) that I am a bad son. Shares messages like "maa bap ko pareshan krne vale bachho ko kya fal milta hai" in WhatsApp groups.
She has even asked me to vacate home. I am unemployed at the moment and I told her I will when I have a job.
I don't know how to deal with it. I can't convince people in the family that she has anger issues.
