Inspired by the lady on Instagram What are you no longer tolerating since menopause.

[whatisforteamum]

Supervising my husband's meals
Pills
Life
People who cough or throat clear loudly
The news on repeat...I heard you the first time.
People who don't bother with me.
Cheap clothing I need proper fabric to cover my lumps and bumps.
How about you my post meno ladies.

Glitchy technology - or updates before I got to grips with the last lot.
Gentle/performance parenting - please deal with little Tarquin’s tantrum without him becoming a thrashing shrieking trip hazard for us all.
And my algorithms on social media. No, I don’t want to see a thousand adverts for collagen.

Mansplaining
providing an ear service to self indulgent monologues
ill mannered dogs jumping over me
shoddy service levels from tradesman
pronoun(s) drama

People

What does "supervising my husband's meals" mean?
Is it different from cooking?

Same. I even have trouble tolerating myself sometimes!

Pubs
alcohol
Contacting ‘friends’ I never hear from unless I make the first move to maintain contact
Cooking for all the family as obligation, only when arsed to
cooking for my own family every day (DP does half)
Doing all cleaning
Doing stuff I don’t really like or am interested in
Feeling guilty binge watching TV

High heels and uncomfortable clothes
People who are unable to back-and-forth in conversation
Political podcasts (and party politics generally)
Eating out. Nearly always disappointing, unless it is more about the company than the food.
People with illness identities (oh, that's my ND, my menopause, my Social Anxiety, my OCD. Just no - someone else's severe impairment is not your interesting quirk).
Marketing BS and unevidenced wellness shit. Piss off with your CBM.

Well, that was cathartic!

High heels
Underwired bras
Make up
Most men - there are some delightful exceptions in my life
Poor service and rubbish food in restaurants
Bad drivers - especially the ones wanting to do 3x the speed of light behind me.
Bad parking - reverse parking straight into a space properly between the lines is not hard - use your mirrors.

Hello OP,

Could you link to the Instagram A/C you mentioned ...

Apologies if I missed it in a previous post!

Thank you!

@YesTonightJosephine I don't know what the OP is following, but one I do know of is the 'We Do Not Care Club'.

Alcohol
People.
Hot weather.

Something good to come out it is that I can't be bothered to argue anymore. So with my DH, we have spent 20 odd years both being right and the rows were massive and awful. Now if he starts telling me I'm wrong, I just change the subject abruptly. Can't be bothered.

Also my dad who we all love has been so annoying over the last few years about family business stuff. We've all been bottling it up. Now I just tell him when he is wrong. For some reason it has taken hormonal change to not care about what he thinks. A d things are now much better.

I've just started my own business too, and doing exactly what I want and telling people how I'll do things. I'm such a people pleaser, I'm not sure how this has happened.

So these are all good things!

Men’s shitness in general. So many mediocre, selfish, needy, grumpy, lack of effort men out there.

Women who put up with men’s shitness. Call them out on it. Raise your standards ffs.

Pandering to attention seekers or those who beat around the bush. Just say what you need, don’t manipulate the situation.

Getting het up at work. The corporate world is not life or death.

@whatisforteamum who is the old lady on Instagram?
What has inspired you?

What happens if you eat these foods? I’m noticing that I feel ill after Indian food now

My narcissistic mother and all her flying monkeys.
My brother who let himself be used in our narc mothers games, did not acknowledge my presence 3 days before his wedding in said narc mothers house and then became the upset victim when I did not go to his wedding.
I no longer tolerate ANYONES disrespect.

When we first started living together, my husband was like this and it would irritate the life out of me. But now, I find myself also asking daft questions! I'm the same! I can't make a decision without raising a question first. I irritate myself!

White bread

People who don’t listen to me the first time. I’m not repeating it.
people who complain endlessly but do absolutely nothing to change it.
constant noise

Can’t drink alcohol at all

People. I literally tutted at someone the other day for NO REASON.

Alcohol
xmas
socialising
misogyny
making decisions
shops
