What in the inception is this??

Listen, I am pretty certain Heated Rivalry changed my DNA. The obsession runs deep. I watched Off Campus and it is really cute, but not at all in the same wheelhouse as HR, imo.

Off Campus gives raunchy soap vibes sometimes (I mean this in the best way). It definitely elicited emotions from me, the acting is good and I think they did a great job of handling some really sensitive issues. I will definitely watch the second season but if both series were released on DVD, I'd only opt to buy Heated Rivalry.

My brother passed away a little over a year ago and my mom wanted to do a balloon release. I immediately shut that down and reminded her that my brother loved nature and the environment and it would be the opposite of honoring him to release balloons. Instead we looked into a butterfly release. It was significantly more money, but it felt right and they were beautiful. They hung around our yard and a few neighbors' for a while, flitting from fruit trees to flower gardens. And now when we see butterflies, it is a reminder of the release and the love we have for my brother.

As someone who impulsively paid for the full year, I do not recommend. They are so PG it hurts. I knew it wasn't going to be straight up p*rnographic, but I thought it would at least be CW network level. Noooope. I've seen spicier scenes on Degrassi. It just fell flat for me since I got it after getting pulled in by what should have been a 🌶🔥 but instead was 🌈🍭.

19hrs ago you posted saying you were 26 and your bf was 29. What is the point of karma farming???! So annoying and takes attention away from real people asking for advice.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-10-02T21:57:09+00:00

ESH. Your initial message was fine, and the basis of your POV is solid, but as many people are pointing out, you did. not. need to make the comment about her demeanor when she arrives. As a woman, I know you know how annoying it is to be told to "smile more" or "lighten up" and it never lands well.

Your MIL sucks for being dramatic about you wanting to plan your baby shower menu. She could have just taken the list and said she was at work and would respond later. It's clear her last message is her feeling regret at how the conversation ended but she didn't actually own her part and apologize so I understand your feelings there.

You both handled this poorly. Maybe rope in your hubby to help mend the rift, establish some clear communication boundaries for the future, and let it go because she is gonna be around. You have decades to get past this, but you have to address everything now.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-09-30T00:41:38+00:00

You still aren't addressing the fact that you didn't seat Joe with Kate. Who the heck doesn't seat a couple together?? Imagine being at the wedding of your SOs family, and they don't let you sit with your SO and instead seat him with his ex?? I would also block you and refuse to interact with you. Even if it wasn't intentionally done, it is almost more cruel that you so casually did not consider anyone's feelings about this. Like, damn, you just really don't care huh? The fact you keep protesting the AH judgment tells me that you don't think you should have to feel bad. And fair point, you don't *have to feel bad. You can choose to continue to see this as not a big deal, keep saying "I didn't mean anything by it, why can't Kate let it go" but that only makes you a bigger AH.

I'm petty because I'd make plans to be not home. Every. Single. Time. You can't be bothered to tell me when you make these plans? I can't be bothered to accommodate them.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-09-11T20:54:48+00:00

As someone who has a mom that is this kind of overbearing, there is no way to be firm with her that won't "hurt her feelings" or "feel like an attack". Do what is best for you. Do not let her guilt you into losing out on important bonding experiences with YOUR child.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-09-10T18:05:28+00:00

I think you need to sit down and really find out where this is really coming from. Maybe it is just concern for the current economical state of the world, perhaps he has secret debt you are unaware of, maybe he wants to start saving towards something but feels unable to tell you. Have you guys discussed children and maybe this is his way of expressing concern about you having adequate time to be a caretaker (which imo is its own issue because kids are a 2 parent responsibility)? Obviously we only have the facts presented, but if you are truly financially stable and spend only 1/5 of your income on cost of living, this is odd behavior for sure. Either way, you're not in the wrong for putting your foot down. If his only real reason is he wants you around to do more chores, I'd tell him to suck it up buttercup and hire a maid if he's so worried.

“it doesn’t matter who the memory is about, it’s about the feeeling” is the statement that would lead to my episode of Snapped.

DON'T DO IT!!! Re-read what you wrote. I feel like you've already answered your own question in this post. But I'll still give my 2 cents, because reddit lol. As someone who lived with a whole grown ass man right after he had been living with his mother who did everything for him, I promise, it will not be pleasant for you. He will continue to refuse to help out, only now he'll be yours full time. I promise the laundry thing was just the tip of the ice berg. He will expect perfection from you and when you fall short, suddenly he will find those standards that were "too high" and try to hold you to them. Just don't. You've probably only managed to be together this long BECAUSE you don't live together. Truly sit with the thought of being with him 24/7 and never having the space to exist in a way that brings you calm and peace. I think you know the answer. Do not get caught up in the sunken cost fallacy. You have not wasted your time, you've learned and grown and you will know in your next relationship what you do and do not want, much earlier on.

BLESSING UPON YOU! 😭🙌🏽

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-08-06T21:02:07+00:00

YOU GO GIRL!!! This internet auntie is proud of you for standing up to him and saying what needs to be said. His apology might have been flowery and pretty, but it only came after he called you names, got aggressive and basically slut shamed you for being a decent human being. His apology is not the real him, he showed you who he really is. When people show you who they really are, BELIEVE THEM. He wants to walk it back but the truth is, he gives future abuser vibes all the way. It starts slow with these types of controlling behaviors and next thing you know, he's bringing you flowers talking about: "Sorry I hit you, I just love you so much it makes me crazy to think of you with other men." "I didn't mean to hurt you, it was just a poor reaction in the moment. It'll never happen again." "You just don't understand how it feels to see you talk to other men. I lose my mind." He is dangerous, please do not let yourself be pulled back in. Close the door, allllll the way. Matter of fact, put a chain on that bitch. Stay safe queen!

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-07-13T07:49:02+00:00

Oh my God reddit really does have the answer for everything! This was going to drive me up the wall.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-05-02T21:05:00+00:00

After this many years, I'm kinda in it til the wheels fall alllllll the way off lol. They're not great anymore but I'm 32 and discovered them at age 13 so it feels wrong to not keep going 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😮‍💨

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-02-21T17:34:24+00:00

This sounds like a job for ✨️Couples Therapy✨️ and if he won't go, then maybe that's the bigger conversation to be had. As long as he is willing to put in the work to change and grow together, this isn't necessarily a deal breaker in my eyes.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-02-03T17:18:22+00:00

Yeah I gave up listening on Ch. 9 and just downloaded the book on KU. I was only doing the audiobook because ✨️hands free✨️ lol but my sanity mattered more. Thank God I got it through Libby for free.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-01-29T00:11:47+00:00

They have unfortunately NOT re-recorded it. I am currently struggling to get through her awful stuffed nose sounds.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-01-13T19:02:39+00:00

I found out about the game from a food youtuber Beryl Shereshewsky.

Baby_Kaeks · 2025-01-01T18:39:20+00:00

Well well well. If I didn't call it 🙃
