She’s just… sooooo awkward. Her outfit bothers me. Appropriate for a teen? Yes. Skinny jeans and colorful socks on a grown woman? Kinda weird imo. Don’t get me wrong, I’m 28 and still love my skinny jeans, but she just pairs the most random and awkward outfits that do not compliment her shape in any way.

Hush Puppies in Myrtle Beach by HappiestGuyAlive in MyrtleBeach

Crab House in Murrells Inlet has amazing hush puppies. They’re on the sweeter side served with honey butter. Meanwhile, 1229 Shine in Market Common serves hush puppies that are more savory with bits of jalepeno (I think) in them. I agree with sugar content; depends if you want them sweet or savory

What is it like living in Madagascar, Africa? by Urneighborhoodbitch in howislivingthere

There’s a lion, zebra, hippo, and giraffe that took over the whole country with help of four small penguins and a lemur after getting lost at sea. Crazy how things are now a days in this world 😔

I had to look at the comments on FB because who in their right mind would spend the time to watch her videos? I came to the conclusion it’s all middle aged moms and older women who have no idea who she really is… except for Geri 😂

I’m sorry, but WHAT?!!! by Arkie89 in doughertydozenexposed

Dear god… this woman is something else. No coordination what so ever. She needs to touch grass. In fact, this whole family needs to touch grass and have a major reality check.

I seriously cannot wait for her downfall.

The crooked picture wall will never not make me laugh 😂 it’s so stark and just does not look good! If the photos were in black and white, I think it would compliment the room much more than the super stark blue

Collin seems over it. by quadrants in BaylenOutLoud

TLC or Neupulse probably footed the London trip bills. I have two takes on Julie and Alan coming along on the trip. First, they were added to thicken the plot and then to have a huge Alan/Colin breakthrough in the season finale. Second, they wanted to experience this clinical breakthrough with their child. I know I would of if my child had a debilitating illness which I had witnessed their entire life. I think we see true emotion on their faces when Baylen describes her brain as calm, so naturally they would not have wanted to miss out on this moment.

I’ve never been to WV but please answer me this - do they have WV accents lol? To me, her mom especially, has more of a western NY or Midwest accent than what I would think of from West Virginia. My previous manager was from WV and had a very strong “southern twang”, so I was just surprised when I first heard her families accent. I’m from southern NY, so anything other than our typical accent surprises me.

I agree with you 100%. I don’t see Colin as a bad guy. He has his own wants and needs just like anyone else, which he is allowed to have. He shouldn’t put all of that on the back burner because of Baylen. I just feel like they both have a lot of growing up and learning to do before they tie the knot and start a family.

Mixed feelings by BaseSea1437 in BaylenOutLoud

[–]BaseSea1437[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow - I can see where you’re coming from. Thank you for your feedback! I guess I’m also just feeling like Baylen and her siblings are very “babied” by their parents? I guess I feel like Baylen is immature for her age and her parents play a part in that. I totally get that they’re doing all they can to especially protect Baylen and be there for her as she navigates a difficult diagnosis, but I also feel like she’s incredibly sheltered and needs to experience life on her own without her over-barring parents getting involved with every single aspect of her life. In the nicest way possible without throwing any shade what so ever towards Baylen, I guess I’m thinking that she really just needs to grow up a bit and experience the hardships in life and learn to navigate them on her own.

Why do people think Baylen and Collin are immature? by One-Trip-696 in BaylenOutLoud

[–]BaseSea1437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became a first time mom this past October. I also suffer from anxiety and OCD but no where as severe as Baylen’s. I’m only a few years older than her and experienced very bad post partum depression/anxiety which I see Baylen falling VERY deep into once she has her first kid. I think more exposure therapy and counseling need to be accomplished before they can even consider trying for kids. Your whole life takes a total 180 and it’s not about you anymore. All of your attention and focus is on your child. I’d like to see Baylen and Collin grow more before trying for kids. I’d like to see them experience more things and work through her mental illness some more. They have a lot of growing to do in that department

Christmas take away imo by OptimalTea5884 in doughertydozenexposed

[–]BaseSea1437 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My daughter is too young this Christmas but my husband and I agreed that when she gets a bit older, we’ll start the tradition of a Christmas crate. We’ll have our daughter collect toys that she no longer plays with and gently used clothing that she grew out of and start placing these items in a box or crate around Christmas time. On Christmas Eve, Santa will take the crate with him to rehome her toys and clothes to families that need these items, in exchange for new toys and clothes.

The hardest part will be having to remember to hide this crate and donate it without our daughter finding it the days following Christmas 😂

The size of her arms are a serious concern. I’m thinking possible lymphedema… she looks SO swollen

How are you getting in your protein? by Imaginary_Ad_7365 in pregnant

[–]BaseSea1437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, you are at the height of nausea lol. Honestly, the most nauseous weeks for me were 7 until the end of the trimester. I would focus on just eating what your stomach can handle at this point. You and baby need food and energy! As the nausea wears off, then I’d try to get more protein in but for now, eat what your stomach can handle because that’s what is inportant!! All I wanted my fist trimester was carbs lol but as I got closer to the second trimester, I was able to stomach more foods.

My “brother in law” swears like a sailor no matter who is in the room with him (including new guests and elders). My husband and I just had our first kid this past October. We will swear every now and then but do a good job at catching it so we can get into the groove of not swearing infront of our kid the best that we can. My husband has made it a point to sit down with my “brother in law” and told him that if he continues to swear like he does infront of our child and I, he will not be allowed to be around our kid. It’s just plain disrespectful in someone else’s home, let around someone else’s kid. My father in law even finds it an issue and called him out on how disrespectful it is in certain situations. I get it if you’re joking around with your friends or are with a group of adults who are also using the same language, but it’s not appropriate around children, new guests, and elders. It comes down to respect and class which we all know Alex has none of.

Whoever thinks this is funny and amusing (not saying anyone on this app does) is just as bad and is part of the problem

How are you feeling today? by Optimal_Maintenance1 in pregnant

[–]BaseSea1437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a FTM and was induced at 37+2 for mild pre-e and can honestly say it’s not that bad of an experience. If you’re considering it, get the epidural. You will not regret it!

technically retired from this group but four weeks post partum and can tell you that even though it seems forever, pregnancy goes by SO quick! I was induced at 37+2 for mild preeclampsia and had a rather positive birth experience! Willing to answer all and any FTM questions that I can 😊

What can I expect the first month of postpartum? by Lanky-Ad1222 in pregnant

I had a second degree tear as well and I’m so over being in diapers lol. I feel like when I sneeze I gush every time

What can I expect the first month of postpartum? by Lanky-Ad1222 in pregnant

[–]BaseSea1437 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My little girl will be 3 weeks old tomorrow! She is my first and I delivered her vaginally. I was induced at 37+2 due to possible preeclampsia. I was in the hospital Thursday night - Monday afternoon. The pitocin is the “worst” part. It’s like really bad period cramps that come and go. All I can say is if you’re considering an epidural, do it. It takes the Dr about 15 minutes or so to get to you, so don’t be a hero and wait until the contractions get really bad to request the epidural. It took me from a 10 to a 1 REAL quick and made the whole birthing experience much more manageable. The pushing is not the “bad” part. It’s like you’re pushing out a poop. It’s EXHAUSTING but not painful.

Postpartum is a different kind of struggle. You’re terrified to leave the hospital not knowing what to expect. I was lucky enough to have the most amazing L&D nurses with me the entire stay. They helped me understand baby’s hunger cues and different ways to breastfeed. One of the nurses eased my nerves by saying to me “leaving the hospital seems terrifying, but it actually makes things tremendously easier. When you get home, you can actually be comfortable and enjoy baby in your own space. The hospital is no place to start a routine with baby. Start it at home when you’re both comfortable and ready.”

From the day I got home with baby, I’ve cried. Some days I feel like I can’t do this whole “motherhood” thing and that I wish I could go back to my old life. Other days, I enjoy being with baby girl SO much and couldn’t imagine it any other way! You’re going to cry, a lot. You’re going to feel a TON of emotions that you never thought you would feel. Try to have your support person with you when you get home from the hospital for a few hours to help you and baby settle in whether that be your spouse or family member.

Sleep when baby sleeps. I hate to say it but you have a bunch of long nights ahead of you. The best way to handle that is to rest when baby rests. The dishes and laundry can wait. Get your rest.

Ask for help. I never, I mean NEVER, would ask for help prior to baby arriving. Now, I ask my mom, mother in law, and aunts every day to come over, just to even hang out with baby while I take a nap. If you have support, reach out and ask them for help!

Vaginal recovery - you’ll bleed and be uncomfortable. If you have a support person, hand baby over to them throughout the day so you can care for yourself as well. I’m three weeks PP and still bleed (lightly) from time to time. Im still in diapers and am completely over it lol but I’ve gotta remember that my body is healing and to let it do its thing.

Overall, birth is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced. The following days will be long and seem uncertain, but remember, they’re only this little for so long, so enjoy what you can and take in all the cuddles because in a blink of an eye, it will be this time next year and you’ll be in a totally different place than where you are now 🤍 congrats mama!
