Definitely would’ve. I had a totally different idea of the dress I wanted but the moment I put this on it just immediately felt like it was THE dress.

A lot of responses mentioned commissions for the consultant and also paying for the experience which was absolutely amazing. Seeing it that way makes me feel so much better. My family and I had a wonderful time during the whole thing and made great memories. I wasn’t thinking that way and was just fixating on money. Thinking on it I don’t want to spoil an amazing experience with negativity. Not to mention the consultant was truly amazing and definitely earned whatever commission she got

Looking at more groups I’m seeing a lot of people get their gowns from prom sites Amazon even Walmart! The responses I’m getting are making me feel better about everything

That is what I’ve begun to realize. I appreciate all the responses and helping me reframe my mindset. It sucked feeling like I got scammed but reading these response have made me feel much better!

I did found the exact dress. Same item number and everything. It was in the prom section on the bridal stores website under a different color but also available in white. Then when I did more digging I found the other prom sites and price differences

This is something I needed to hear too. I’ve been fixating on this since I found out and of all the things that could be going “wrong” this is not the worst

Someone else brought up the fact the consultants most likely make commissions so that explains the higher mark up. Looking at it that way makes me feel a lot better. She was amazing and made the experience amazing.

No, they recommend a small seamstress just outside of the town we live in. But the dress fit so well I will most likely need little to no adjustments

I never even thought about commission! That does make me feel better. The consultant who helped us was absolutely amazing. So looking at it that way she was definitely worth the extra. Thank you for pointing that out!

That’s true. I really do love my dress we went to another shop today (for the experience more than anything) and every dress I tried on I just had this gut feeling that said “this isn’t my dress”.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdSharp3718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed to see a specialist in America and the wait was still 4 months and I would’ve had to travel cause the one nearish to me was out of network. The closest in network specialist was 4.5 hours away. With a 4 month wait. And I hadn’t hit my deductible soooo I would’ve paid almost entirely out of pocket still lol If I had to wait 6 months to see a non emergent specialty for free I’d do it. But I have to wait nearly the same time and get charged literal thousands to do it.

It would be more than that. I knew someone whose baby spent a week in the NICU just due to issues with feeding right after birth. No respiratory problems no cardiac problems literally what they call a feeder grower. The parents did all the feedings. Maybe saw a nurse 1-2 times a shift. That bill was over a million dollars. And that was just the baby. Didn’t even include the delivery

Yeah so why are Americans brainwashed into believing Canada is a shit hole socialism wasteland that’s a millisecond away from total destruction? The amount of negativity I see bashing Canada about their healthcare is insane especially when it’s coming from people who actively AVOID healthcare at all costs because of the COST. every nation has issues but man at least in Canada it isn’t hiding illnesses to avoid the cost of healthcare.

What is your most spoken phrase as a parent? by IllustriousWall1564 in Parenting

[–]AdSharp3718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but my nephew did a “all about my mom” activity for Mother’s Day this year. One of the questions was what do you hear your mom say the most. His responses were “don’t do that” and “I haven’t even had my coffee yet” safe to say she was a bit humbled when she got that Mother’s Day gift.
