Grown women who

[Deshasafraisy]

Still love Disney, unicorns and rainbows and all that crap. I don’t get it. Aibu

[Undercoverbanana]

There’s lots of things I don’t “get”. Fake nails, fake eyebrows, fake tan, make-up, padded bras, flash cars, beach holidays, theme parks, soap operas, Chinese food, Tories, Brexit, my boss, my work colleagues and I am currently reading the most shit novel ever. We’re all different.

...yes, the sea creatures do make her very happy (she is 46) and no, it is harmless. I suppose the rest of the family just tend to smile and nod. 😬

[Caulk]

Is there a reason you don’t “get it”?

I only ask as I used to feel the same, about anything that was “adults acting like children”. I realised it’s due to my parents not acting like the adult and I had to, so I resented adults now who in my mind weren’t acting the way I imagined adults “should”.

What is going on with this spate of threads of women slagging off other women that is currently happening on here.

I don't understand,,,heavy make up, the pornstar look, skinny models, Meghan marbles clothes, Disney shit.

Why can't some women just accept other women and not slag them off. What is making them want to put other women down?

[Gwenhwyfar]

"I don't understand the desire to spend hours on make-up, anyone's love of clothes shopping, why anyone would waste money on buying cups of coffee when they could take one with them"

These are all explainable. Make-up and clothes shopping is either as a hobby in itself or too look better. Buying coffee is because it's not the same as the stuff you have at home or to avoid carrying a flask around.

I'd like to know the psychological explanation for grown women being into little girl things. I think there might actually be a reason for it rather than just 'different tastes'.

[TheLegendOfBeans]

“Megan Marbles” has made my day. Thank you @bluntness100

[LipstickHandbagCoffee]

I agree, unicorns,Disney,foofy overdone things not to my taste.
But then I dislike many many others things others seem to adore
So, seeing you asked
Light up signs that say cliches like love laugh etc so saccharine & upbeat
if forced I’d get a light up sign that says gie me fucking peace

Still on a roll, I hate
Any enforced cheeriness and slogans. just do it...yea? just fuck off

Food fads. Folk who think the seed of a tomato will prevent cancer,bunions,piles,halitosis

Banging on about what You can eat. Look if you want to drink apple vinegar,do. But dont regale me with its alleged properties

Holly willoughby, the inane fawning over what see wore,gushing over how her head tilted at a sad widdle story

[givemeyourbadge]

If everybody liked what I like then they would be ruining it for me, by making everywhere I go too full and too expensive!!

I love it when people like different things to me

Unlike my MIL, who thinks unless you love everything she does it is a direct threat to her existence. She feels you are deliberately undermining her as a person if you want to do something differently.....

[Myimaginarycathasfleas]

Trouble is, April, OP can’t hold it back any more..

[Idontdowindows]

My SIL is like that. Her children as little ones had a perfect time. She knew what they loved and wanted and both nieces and nephews have grown up to be unafraid to show their creative and caring side, and to boldly go to build and fight monsters.

It's not my cuppa tea, but it certainly worked for them. :)

🏆Bluntness for “Meghan Marbles”

[tishhope]

I know that there are worse things in the world, but I too have a problem with grown women who act like children, the disney stuff being one example. I would have an equal problem with grown men who still have action man toys or whatever. The jury is still out on computer gaming, btw.

[BadTasteFlump]

YABU. I love Disneyland and rainbows are beautiful. Unicorns aren't real so I've not given them much thought. But you sound like a barrel of fun

Ok,I hate this notion women cannot ever cast an aspersion,have a dislike of anything other women do,and dare not articulate it. Ironically it v controlling it deeply reinforces the notion that women need to be nice,amenable,accepting. Because no one likes a woman who is not accepting.

I’m not compelled by gender to like,support and be enthusiastic about other women,just because..

And I actually find it risible when some rocks up (they always do) and says oh us women why can’t we be supportive

[ConstanceVigilance]

You really wouldn't like this house then OP!

Disney House

[runningtogetskinny]

Desperate fear of growing up and facing the realities of adult life? I'd also worry about men who find this attractive in a woman (child). I think the whole 'I'm so cute!' Is a psychological issue....

[Saracen]

OP, why don't you tell us all about your hobbies so we can tell you how ridiculous they are?

[Rachie1973]

Do you need to get it OP ?

Does it affect your life on a day to day basis?

[MadMags]

I’m more of a Maleficent gal, myself.

Can you imagine if she posted on AIBU?

They didn’t invite you to the party? Of course you curse the baby!

[Idontdowindows]

Desperate fear of growing up and facing the realities of adult life?

LOL I've never met a more put-together and responsible adult than my SIL. She just happens to like Disney.

[elsmokoloco]

Op I don't get it either, but they probably wouldn't get what I choose to spend my time and money on so I'm not going to give it too much headspace.. It seems a relatively harmless type of thing collecting paraphernalia, popping to Disneyland, sitting on the sofa wearing a knitted mermaid tail watching Disney films.

[Nousernameforme]

It can feel a bit cutsey which is something i find creepy in grown women, however I like lego and video games and harry potter
So I guess I can't speak really

[TheFaerieQueene]

Hellokittymania this is for you - Tokyo

[LagunaBubbles]

What don't you get OP? The fact that not everyone thinks the same and will like the same stuff as you?

[JacquesHammer]

These kind of threads are rooted deeply in the insecurity of the OP, desperate to prove they are somehow a better adult, or they only find joy in higher things.
