Adult minute

The period of time in which an adult takes to do something after telling a child “in a minute”. The adult minute can be a period of time lasting anywhere from 5 regular minutes to hours. Or maybe never…

Kid: Hey Mom can you take me to the Park?
Mom: Yeah in a minute… (“adult minute”)
Kid: ☠️

Paradox of the responsible adult

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

Adult Binky

You're likely holding/sucking/hitting one right now.

A vape.
An e-cigarette..
Juul, battery, AC vent, nic stick, vape'n'gape... Whatever you call yours, it's a binky, but with nicotine for your insufferable adult baby ass.

Oh geez Janine's freaking out again, someone hand her the adult binky.
