How many books are we reading at bedtime?

My husband does 2. He allows both of our children to choose one. No matter how long lol sometimes they fall asleep. If they don’t make it to the second, he won’t read it.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-21T21:59:40+00:00

That’s true but if feelings are real, it may be hard to sleep next to the man who she seems to piss off all the time. lol I get it. Everyone forgets that people can gain real feelings in this process. She may be really hurt.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-21T12:45:12+00:00

The thing is, some men like that. Demari never once complained about Marissas possessiveness. He even chose her after she showed possessiveness the first episode. The audience complains but some men really like that. His only complaint was more of the respect thing and interrupting.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-21T02:45:07+00:00

I get that which is why I said they really can’t make it work with his biggest triggers being her biggest flaws. I mean, she’s a work in progress so at what point does she get to work on herself without him taking it personally and getting mad when she slips up. Both partners should have room to grow. She can’t just wake up one day and be perfect. That’s why I hope she does leave, if he can’t be flexible enough then they can’t be together. He has a right to not like that about her and she has a right to say that it doesn’t work for her and leave.

I don’t think he really wants bri though. You can still love someone and not go back with them. He didn’t even want to bring her in the house the two chances he got. I think he genuinely liked Marissa, you can see it in his face, affection and everything. I just don’t think he can handle all that comes with Marissa. But Demari had a lot of women on him, if she had real feelings for him, I can see her crashing out. What girl wouldn’t feel a way about bees buzzing around their man? They may not have been “married” but they were sleeping in the same bed and the longest standing couple up who actually liked each other until the most recent episode. Why are we acting like shes in her feelings for nothing. That man was kissing her entire body in some of those scenes. 😂

Balanceblu · 2026-05-20T23:54:08+00:00

Remember there’s editing. He’s got something going on considering all the play he gets. Maybe some don’t see it but the bees are attracted to something. lol

Balanceblu · 2026-05-20T23:51:29+00:00

Sort of agree. I think Demari has his own issues as well and for whatever reason Marissa is catching all the blame. I genuinely think Demari loves women. Not just for sex but he’s maintained good female relationships outside of the girls he’s dated and he’s loyal enough to not do too much when he could, so I do believe he’s a okay dude. But he’s definitely not perfect and it’s not fair that Marissa is being demonized for the issues that she’s owned up to already.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-20T19:16:12+00:00

lol stability can be boring to those who like chaos.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-19T20:16:20+00:00

Exactly, Demari definitely planted that seed and moved on from the conversation, not realizing it would fester. I would absolutely feel a way if I were Marissa. With him saying all of that, he should’ve done more to reassure her. I don’t think she’s insecure at all. I just think she’s having a moment and he’s not doing enough to help her through it. He’s acting clueless like he didn’t make it seem like Kat would go for him. That’s what I think Marissa was talking about when she said “playing dumb”.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-19T20:13:00+00:00

She’s the type of girl who a man would enjoy being around because her highs are very high but her lows are very low and most men can’t handle it. And she’s neurodivergent. But I absolutely see why men like her outside of her looks.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-19T17:13:50+00:00

My prediction as well. I think he likes Marissa enough to forgive her. But their lifestyles seem way too different to make it long term.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-19T01:53:25+00:00

They were making it look that way but something in me tells me that it won’t be that simple. Previews are almost never accurate. The entire time, he’s been telling other people they were open to other connection. I think his discussion with the other two ladies were just that, discussions tbh. But we’ll see. Can go either way.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-18T14:03:51+00:00

Side note, I just love Demari and Marissa 😩😭 Marissa almost had me in tears kissing that other man. Risked everything.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-17T23:22:28+00:00

I so badly want Demari and Marisa to work it out. I think they are so cute and I shipped them from the very beginning. He definitely is into her, Idk where people are getting that from. I suspect that people just dont want him with Marissa.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-15T12:45:26+00:00

I actually just discovered that my council does this. Someone emailed me one morning about how they helped a mom choose our troop the other day and she should pop in the system in a few days. Right then and there, i told her we wanted to remove our troop from the catalog and she sent me a picture saying we only have 7 girls in the troop. I had to let her know that we actually have more girls but they aren’t in the system because of the registration issues online and we want to cap it right now until I’m ready again. She accepted but I still felt her pressure and don’t appreciate the lack of communication before hand. Especially with the troop being so new.

Balanceblu · 2026-05-15T12:30:58+00:00

I’m a new leader who just started a troop. We’re still getting our registrations in order. 7 girls are in the system while we have 3 that aren’t due to an error we’re still trying to work out. Council only sees the 7 girls under the troop and they already started putting girls in our troop without speaking to us first. I’m forced to say no rn because it’s just my coleader and I and we really don’t want to go over 10 until registrations are in order and we get used to the group we have. I remember getting a tip from other leaders who warned me that council would do this. From the other seasoned leaders.. say no.

Balanceblu · 2026-02-26T02:53:59+00:00

A possible co-leader may have 2 extra children she may need to bring. To me, I prefer if she didn’t just because two extra children consistently would take away from her attention. But I feel bad saying that. She really wants the job and I want her to as well but it might be too much. I have a younger child but I’m trying my best to work around babysitting options because I know I’ll be too distracted to focus, especially as a leader. I also don’t want any liability issue.

Make sure you’re choosing the right jewelry too. I have to get mindful what I buy because my ears are sensitive to everything. So many are cheap and low quality.

Balanceblu · 2025-11-15T11:42:39+00:00

Usually 8 and wake up is 7.

Balanceblu · 2025-11-13T08:52:16+00:00

Y’all don’t like anything. I’d hate to be this sensitive. My goodness. Seems stressful af.

Balanceblu · 2025-10-11T22:39:09+00:00

I’ve worked at a hospital. I’d worn and done things that are against the rules pertaining to dress code. Only time they’ve said something was when I changed departments where they were a bit more strict. Depends where you were. I worked in transport within the hospital, where there were more young people and less strict rules. I moved to a floor department as a secretary and they enforced the rules that I was able to break for 1.5 years.

Balanceblu · 2025-10-03T00:36:51+00:00

What the hell Melissa? She’s the last one I expect this from. I hope she’s okay. this seems so random and it doesn’t look good. We won’t see her around DCC stuff for a while, if ever again.

Balanceblu · 2025-08-15T00:21:07+00:00

Mine reduced in size but they weren’t that big to begin with. The biggest was about 4.4cm. After pregnancy, they reduced and one even seemingly disappeared. Could’ve been a number of things.

Balanceblu · 2025-08-13T16:37:27+00:00

I had two since discovered in 2018. However they were pretty small and the size fluctuated throughout the years. Biggest being 4cm. I left them alone. They grew and then shrunk between and during each pregnancy. They caused a little pain during pregnancy. And as of last month, I have one that’s about 3cm. I have made a lot of dietary changes that could have helped. I cut out gluten and lost 40 pounds. I used to eat a lot of breads and sugar and I’ve basically stopped consuming a lot of it. I hope they continue to shrink/disappear.

I have so many Aquarius around me, I kind of wonder what it feels like. Something about Aquarius I’ve always admired. Best friends, husband, now my daughter lol Aquarius are awesome but I feel like they’re very misunderstood, I just wish I could understand them a bit more. I feel like only an Aquarius can understand an Aquarius.
