What is something you said would never do and actually stuck to it?

[Soubriquet]

Mine is smoking

I said I would never smoke and now at 32, I havent.

I was tempted as an older teen because at the time, everyone seemed to be doing it and I wondered why it was so popular, but now I’m glad I didn’t. It’s more common for people to not smoke now

Iron another shirt. DH complained in the first week we were married that I hadn't done it properly. TBF it was more in a "let me do it" way than an actual complaint, but I said I'd never do another and I didn't in 30 years.

Smoking here too.

Watch reality shows like Big Brother, Love Island, I'm a Celebrity.

I could have written this comment word for word 😀

Bungee jumping.
Snowboarding
Driving backwards down the M1
Reality Tv

Botox/ plastic surgery

Buy cards or presents or send thankyous for DH's family. He's a grown adult, he can manage gift-buying himself.

Smoke, my parents were heavy chain smokers and I despised it. My mum once said ‘you’ll do it if your friends do it to fit in! You’ll be a smoker too’ nope I’ve never smoked (trued it found it disgusting). I always think they look sad huddled in the cold outside because of a cigarette!

Get involved with a man who had children with someone else and / or been married before.

Give my child a dummy.

Ride a motorcycle

I think this is a big reason why I don’t smoke

My mum, dad, sister, both nans, both grandads…. Actually pretty much everyone smokes or smoked

We had to sit in the smoking area at restaurants and bars because they “had to light one up after meal or we can’t enjoy it properly”

The house was always covered in a thick cloud of smoke and everything stank of nicotine

I hated it. Really really hated it. So I never did it

I am married to a smoker but he smokes in the garage so I get away with that.

Had children with multiple partners

Smoke.
Have children.
Buy from Sports Direct.

Eat veal.

When I was doing my A-levels, we went on a residential geography trip to Devon (I know, right) and one day we visited a farm which sent veal calves for export to mainland Europe where they eat veal a lot. The sight of all those calves separated from their mothers, kept in pens in a barn their whole lives and fed milk pellets to keep their flesh pale made me vow to never, ever eat veal in my lifetime.

I would never go near pate de fois gras either. Nor, since my parents once fed me it when I was small and told me it was chicken (I was horrified, and disgusted with them for lying to me), will I eat rabbit.

Drugs
Drink pints

Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram/Tiktok/Twitter don’t have any of these and feel it’s why I am generally happy and on an even keel. DH and two teens (their choice as they are now 15 and 17) are the same so far.

Until I was 27 I was adamant I would never marry..
Currently married to dh number 4..

Smoke
Take drugs
Plastic surgery or silly drawn on eyebrows etc
Drink (been teetotal for 23 years)
Bottle feed. Not in a snooty way, I just had to be very determined to EBF.

Make lunch for my DH, unless I am sitting down to eat it with him.
Oh and I've also managed to never shriek at my dc in public.

Have children.

Do drugs. I've never even had so much of a puff of weed.

Tbh I reckon a puff of weed would probably do me a bit of good every now and then.

@barskits

That form of veal production has been banned in the UK for decades
It still happens in Italy and the Netherlands but if you buy UK-produced veal (often labelled Rose Veal) it’s actually a very sustainable/ethical meat, because it’s the male dairy calves that would otherwise be shot at birth but are instead kept and grown

I listened to a really interesting podcast about it a while ago and now longer have a blanket ban on eating veal, as long as I know it’s British

Shout at a child, hit a child, not listen to a child.
