Something that I don't like is when my mother tells people things that are from me, but doesn't credit me.
For example: I made the argument recently that I should have the bigger bedroom because the whole house is the parents' to make theirs, while a child only has their room to express themselves and I have a lot of stuff that doesn't fit comfortably in my super tiny room. My mother agreed to this and we're switching rooms (she said she doesn't care for spending time in her room anyway so she's fine with smaller), but when explaining the swap to my grandparents, she used my argument but made it sound like it was her idea.
Another example: we were hanging out in a small park area one day, checking out all the birds and stuff, when a much larger bird flew over us. She started jokingly talking to it in the squeaky pet voice we use for our cat, saying "I'm a big boy, guys!" I looked up and said "ma, that's a falcon" and then went on to explain how I knew because of the wing span, the height it flew, and because of how it glided rather than flapped. When we got back to my grandparents' place, she began telling my grandma about the falcon and used all of the facts I gave her without so much as hinting that I was the one who originally said them.
And she only ever does it with things that make her sound smart, which sucks even more because she's taking that credit away from me. This is a big deal because I was a "genius" child, but after ADHD starting kicking in, my grades dropped and my family thinks I just got dumber- so her taking away opportunities for me to show that I'm still smart is really hurtful.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

i love cishets and their somewhat ugly pride merch that lets us know they're at least fairly safe to be around i'm serious. like genuinely being like 13 and seeing random adults at the store in black "love is love" shirts where every letter is a different pride flag and the whole thing clashes horribly was the most comforting thing.

Work Rant: if three teachers have quit in one year in your child’s classroom why don’t you think there’s a problem going on?
Some of these parents are so oblivious and think their child doesn’t do no wrong. For a reference this class is like 12 maybe 15 kids at max . 🙃🙃🙃
