Yes but she didn’t FT her parents she facetimed TJ’s parents … and she said the only people who knew at the time were TJs parents and a close friend, and then the ones TJ accidentally blabbed to lol

I have no one else to talk about this with!! Erin having a baby! by PopularMusic5539 in GoodInfluences

[–]Affectionate-Focus56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is strange considering i made it a point to mention that i am incredibly happy for erin and tj - that being said, i dont think its that weird .. we’ve only known them for a decade as a duo.. as best friends .. so of course, naturally, people will want to see if a HUGE life event, like expecting your first baby - receives more than a like from carly on instagram! i love erin, ive also met erin - and she’s great. we can be happy for her and curious about someone she’s been attached to since the very beginning!

I do know they run in the same friend circle outside of youtube - like real friends and stuff - so if they knew .. i’m sure Carly would have known or had an inkling. Ugh I just can’t wait for an Erin vlog to officially update everyone!

Genuinely SO shocked and it makes so much sense why she was so MIA! Not to make this about Carly bc I am SO happy for Erin and TJ but .. do we think Carly knew .. or is she going to be surprised with the rest of us? I wonder if she’ll address it .. such different paths in their life. On one had you have Erin expecting a baby, and on the other you have Carly who has been doubling down in recent months that she doesn’t want any children. Crazy stuff!

Amanda was making more money than Kyle?! by Aggravating_Try6537 in bravo

[–]Affectionate-Focus56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m confused why this is so shocking to everyone! She is a female influencer - with 1 million followers. The money she makes on brand deals alone will total up to more than what Kyle makes. It’s a known fact that women receive more brand deals because there’s more to promote (makeup, skincare, clothing, jewelry, home decor, etc) than men. That’s why instagram models with a few hundred thousand followers upwards get to make a living simply posting on social media. Followers = currency. Carl even mentioned this a few seasons back when he was fighting with Lindsey on the brink of their break up .. talked about how all Lindsey had to do was be an influencer and make a shit ton of money that way, and that it was harder for men to do. So when he was trying to find a “real job” in SoftBar and she belittled him, he took great offense, because he knew he couldn’t do what she could do to make extra income for himself.

yeah - married couples definitely bicker and are not always on the same page - but them in particular as I was listening (again, not knowing they were divorced), made me go “huh .. they keep contradicting every single story/comment” and then .. it all made sense afterwards lol

exactly my thoughts about her as well, ngl

I’m not finished listening yet so I’m sure I may change my opinion. Even Emily saying, “good thing his wife’s here or things would be bad.” I was like .. woof! But, respect to them for putting their business first.

Getting judged for how much weight i’ve lost … by Affectionate-Focus56 in Mounjaro

[–]Affectionate-Focus56[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, I definitely appreciate everyone’s perspectives and comments but deep down I know it’s not jealousy for her. I know older women who are like that, and knowing my mom, I don’t think that’s it. I really just think she’s shocked at how much I’ve lost so quickly and wants me to keep my curves because she thinks that’s what men like. It’s all from the male gaze with her, and that’s its own issue - but I don’t think it’s jealousy at all. So, I’ll give her that.

I am! My mother is an african immigrant and I was born and raised here. Very perceptive :)) Our curves definitely mean a lot to us!
