I think the common theme here is, ladies don't talk about your S.O., your kids, your neighbours kids, no kids at all, not kids now, not kids in the future. I had an MPA tell me all about her daughter's liver transplant surgery as she gave me a BS!!!! So, I showed her the lump on my testicle that I had to have an ultrasound on, since I don't have kids and those are my boys!
I don't understand the need to tell us about your life. I can only speak for myself but, I don't tip out of sympathy, I tip because of good service. Some of the best sessions I've had only contained, "Hi", "mmmm" and other moans, and "Would you like to turn over", and that's it! Okay, I've said enough.
Did I mention don't talk about your kids?
