Ask Uncut - Racoons or Architects, Boy's Trips, Cutting Ties & Empty Wishing Wells
Hey lifers!Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your life dilemmas! Are you the partner who packs the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect or a racoon on meth? The dishwasher is causing some problems in households but maybe we are a bit guilty of weaponised incompetence too!Britt is heading over to Romania tonight and Laura is hosting the Christmas Carols in Surfer's Paradise this weekend! Carols details here Vibes for the week:Britt Storyworth book Keeshia Netflix Our Little Secret Laura Netflix Killer Sally and Jumbled diaries Then we get into your questions! HUSBAND GOES ON LOTS OF BOYS TRIPS AND I'M RESENTFULMy husband is part of a boys punting club where they put in $20 every week and then use the pool of money to go on an annual boys weekend away. He also has an annual interstate golf trip with a different group of dads. Both these trips are expensive and mean that I am left home with our 3 kids under 4. Am I right to feel resentful that he has these boys trips or are my expectations too high that he should give them up during this stage of life? All my friends are mums to young kids/babies so it’s a lot harder to organise a girls trip and I’d feel guilty to leave the kids for a few nights. Also I would rather spend the time and money on a family holiday or a trip with my husband. My dad never had boys trips, is this just the new normal for our generation? PARTNER COMPLAINS ABOUT MY TOILET SKIDDIESBit of a gross one but I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here my partner constantly complains that I leave skid marks in the toilet. I’m not going out of my way to leave them there but we have a VERY clingy one year old so going to the toilet in itself is a bit of a challenge at the moment, let alone scrubbing the toilet when I’m done. My partner gets genuinely upset about it and has even gone so far as to call me 'an animal' because of it. Again, I’m not going out of my way to do this and when he brings it up (it comes up a lot), my response is, “it’s a fucking toilet”. Like that’s where the shit is meant to go, right?! Is it really that bad if I leave the odd skid mark on the toilet bowl? BROKEN UP BUT CAN’T CUT TIES AND STILL HANGING OUTMy partner and I split up 3 weeks ago. We dated for 5 1/2 years and had a house, a dog and a cat. It was a mutual breakup and it really came down to wanting different things and a lack of communication. Closer to the end we got quite distant which helped me come to terms with making the decision. After we broke up we started spending time together and talking through things and like we’re dating again. We know we have to cut ties but we’re just enjoying each others company. What do I do? How do I just leave? I’ve moved back with my parents but I’m spending a lot of time at his house now (my old house) I just can’t break ties and he isn’t the one to call it. NO CARD IN WISHING WELL. CAN I BRING THIS UP?We got married about a month ago. Like most weddings we had a wishing well for cards and well wishes. After opening all the cards we noticed there was no card from a couple that attended the wedding (reception and ceremony). Whilst we do not expect a monetary gift we’re a bit taken aback by there not even being a card. It seems somewhat out of character for the couple so we’re wondering if had somehow gone missing. Is there any polite way of bringing this up with the couple or do we just leave it to avoid any awkwardness? I just can not fathom ever attending a wedding and not bringing a card let alone gift.

End of Year Chatch ups and Chaos, Hair Loss and Raygun's Trademark
Hey guys! This time of the year feels like chaos and most of us are crawling to the finish line but today's episode matches the chaotic vibes! We chat: Hair loss, transplants and visiting Türkiye Alternative therapies using placentas What's in store for Christmas & Christmas traditions Having very 'curious' 5 year old asking about Santa Your best talent quest memories There's an Aussie comedian named Steph Broadbridge who created a musical parody 'Raygun the Musical' and was going to launch the show over the weekend. However, Steph was forced to cancel the show after Raygun's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter saying that Raygun owned the dance moves and that they were committed to protecting her intellectual property and ensuring that her brand remained strong and respected. There are a lot of opinions online (and within our team) about who is in the right and the wrong in this scenario. We speak about the optics, owning your brand, being tired of being mocked and cultural appropriation.

Ask Uncut - Christmas Gifts, Photo Albums of Exes and Shared Middle Names
Hey Lifers,Welcome back to ask uncut where we answer your deep, dark and burning questions with our best but technically unqualified advice. Britt is nudging for an honorary doctorate! Laura can have orgasms in her sleep. We're aware that this is likely a unicorn and very fortunate skill but have you ever had one in your sleep? Britt has an unfortunate injury and somehow zooper doopers have entered the chat. Vibes for the week:Keeshia The Later Daters on NetflixBritt Meet Cutes NYC InstagramLaura Pink Santa by Tanya Hennessy Then we jump into your questions! BUY XMAS GIFT FOR NEW BOYFRIEND OR TOO SOON?I’ve been dating this guy for about 9 weeks now, it’s going great, amazing communication, sex etc etc. From the get go we’ve been straight about not dating anyone else, pausing the apps etc. With Christmas coming up, I’m wondering do you think it would be too full on to get him a small gift? It will have been ~3 months of dating by then, he’s really easy to buy for and I know what I’d get him but also am aware of him being spooked in the past when he hasn’t felt 100% sure. He’s said numerous times how much he’s enjoying this and wanting to continue seeing me and see where things go. I’m worried if I get him a Christmas gift he might freak out? I don’t expect one in return but have seen a few small things I know he’d love. Too much too soon? Or okay? IS IT NORMAL FOR BF TO SAY HE WOULD SLEEP WITH FRIENDS IF SINGLE?My boyfriend has been talking to a girl who he met online. He said she is only a friend but he would sleep with her if he was single. He tried to justify this by saying he would sleep with any of his friends if he was single and they wanted to as it is just sex. He said that all men think like this. My question is… is this true that all men think like this and he is just being honest, or is it a strange comment? KEEPING PHOTO ALBUM OF EXMy fiancé recently got some of his old belongings from his parent’s home as they’re currently going through a move. In the items was a photo album of him and his long term ex who we happen to have had issues over in the past. I found the photo album hidden in a wardrobe after he told me “yuck, they can go in the bin”. My question is, do you think keeping photos of an ex is a red flag and why do you think he’d want to keep them? SIBLING WANTS TO USE SAME MIDDLE NAME AS MY KID So I had my baby in May and he’s the first grandchild of the family. His middle name is my dad’s first name. My brother‘s wife is having a baby in January and he told me he wants to give their baby the same middle name - after my dad. Thoughts?
