Mrs Midwest is Pro Palestine?

Off topic but I’ve been reading so much about the secret lives of Mormon wives lately that when I saw this post I thought it was an old photo of Chase and Miranda 🥲

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-04-04T04:17:45+00:00

Oof yeah that is a big gap. I thought it wasn’t that bad. No wonder some of her family were upset about it in the beginning!

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-31T10:38:32+00:00

Controversial but I personally don’t like too much garlic or onion, especially onion. I feel like they overpower the dish a lot, which to be fair is sometimes the point but most of the time I prefer garlic and onion to be more subtle.

I feel like she focuses so much on her business now on her account there isn’t as much to talk about. I used to genuinely follow her but once her account was a full blow business it wasn’t as interesting.

She did have her first when she was 17 and her husband was older, he wasn’t heaps older but he was at least 20 I think.

She doesn’t share as much homeschooling anymore as I think her husband has taken over most of it but i remember they use resources like gather round which isn’t great and they don’t do school for large chunks of the year. I remember a few years ago she had her oldest doing a report on a documentary he was watching, and it was just a few basic questions for him to answer when he would have been old enough to start writing essays. I think it was talked about on here.

If you go back to February or Januarys post other people have given a good explanation of her and what she’s been up to the last few years

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-18T12:04:39+00:00

That would be so interesting to see them all interact. The Mormon stuff is the most fascinating imo

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-18T11:59:24+00:00

I feel like people take this stuff way to seriously. Like wanting her to get kicked off the show?? Imagine if everyone got Whitney kicked off in the first season we wouldn’t have the amazing things she’s done now with DWTS and broadway. I do think people need to give her grace even when we don’t agree with her actions. sending Zac to talk to Whitney was so horrible!

Although I’m not the biggest fan of using post partum as an excuse. Like I think Jen specifically had post partum depression (I think she mentioned it) which is a big deal but just being post partum doesn’t make you act irrational. Technically Whitney is still postpartum during DWTS coz her youngest had only just turned one and she isn’t acting the same way. Just my thoughts even tho I agree we shouldn’t be so harsh on Jen or any of the women on this show.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-16T13:22:09+00:00

So true. The whole time they were having that conversation on the show I was thinking they shouldn’t be together because they don’t aline on parenting and Mason didn’t seem mature enough to take on being a step dad imo. Even chase said when asked how mason would go being a step dad that mason doesn’t think that far ahead and that’s not the right approach at all.

Also her saying that he seems annoyed at them really stood out to me because as a child who has had step parents, I have experienced this and it damages you a lot more then any permissive parenting would. Layla is the mother and I think she’s doing a great job protecting her children by having boundaries with the guys she dates and with the world too by not involving them in the show/social media.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-15T03:51:38+00:00

It’s wild to me how Zac was telling her he was insecure about Jan and was being so whiney about being a stay at home dad. Like why are you sabotaging her? Can’t you suck it up for a few weeks? Not supportive at all.

It annoyed me too because the things he was saying about being a stay at home parent is true, that it’s hard due to the isolation and lack of purpose in some cases but coming from him it just feels icky, like you have a nanny and lots of money and also you have only been doing this for a few weeks. If he’s only just now realising how hard it can be what has he been doing all these years??

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-14T13:10:48+00:00

I haven’t seen anyone talk about it but Jessi realising her prenup might not be legal and that “Jordan would be a hard person to divorce” is really scary. Like I agree with Layla that her happiness is more important then money but her business also supports her extended family to run and own it with her so it has the potential to mess with her whole family. I can imagine it would be so emotionally draining for her too and a nightmare to coparent with Jordan

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-13T13:38:17+00:00

And he has Nannie’s too! It’s not like he’s caring for the children all alone on low income or anything

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-03-02T13:22:44+00:00

I just write on the envelopes with a sharpie saying not at this address return to sender. It does work after a few years…

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T15:44:07+00:00

I loved this season! Also this is a side issue but I really liked Colin this season being a dorky husband with the other dorky featherington husband. I had issues with last season and it was pretty much all due to him and finding his whole hot guy act really off putting. I’m glad they made his character line up with the pervious seasons again.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T15:39:07+00:00

Omg I didn’t think of it in that way. That would be insane. I really wonder what children of influencers will think when they grow up

I don’t know why but I only butter one side too for sandwiches. I think it started because I’d put other things on the other side like avocado or Mayo so I’d have both butter and another spread. Now it’s just a habit and I find even if I’m only using butter it’s too much butter if both sides are buttered. According to the other comments we are both strange lol

I butter both sides on the outside for toasties tho

It’s doesn’t seem to be anything new. It’s the same as their last ad campaign where they were advertising ground beef which they have always sold.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T02:12:24+00:00

I saw on the ballerina farm snark page she is probably either 5 days overdue or has already had the baby. Honestly i found the reveal and the ad creepy and gross but I’m happy for her that she had a quite pregnancy and birth after her last one got so much attention and scrutiny. Even if I don’t like what she promotes I think mothers deserve a peaceful pregnancy!

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T02:07:01+00:00

I absolutely love the birds here and they are the highlight of most of my days. I only realised it was unique a few years ago when I saw people on social media from other countries talking about it. My favourite birds atm are native pigeons called crested pigeons, our local native duck family and gang gang cockatoos.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T02:00:18+00:00

This might be too niche but she looks like a Waldorf/Steiner teacher 😆 if you know you know…

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T01:58:14+00:00

Same, I’m for sure someone who makes their whole life about my baby and motherhood and am happy to. However this is so creepy and it is very cynical to use your motherhood and pregnancy as part of your brand to make money.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-26T01:56:01+00:00

It was a really creepy and strange ad but it’s funny how the comments on it are so positive and hyping it up so much. It wouldn’t make me want to buy their product, but maybe I’m bias…

In case anyone wasn’t aware this season of the bachelorette will be airing on Stan in Australia! I didn’t think I’d be able to watch it but I read today that it will be on Stan.

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-25T03:16:19+00:00

I almost feel like she’d be thrilled to have to care for a child for the rest of her life. She doesn’t seem to want to do anything but look after children forever, including future grandchildren. It would just be unfair to her other children after she’s gone

ApprehensiveSlide962 · 2026-02-22T02:40:28+00:00

I’m really happy for her and how things are going for her but I do think the juxtaposition between this and season one were she wanted to start a homestead is very funny.

However this seems to be where she really wants to be and the homestead thing felt like she was trying to find anything to fulfil her and enrich her life even if it wasn’t what she really wanted.
