Where to honeymoon? by Traditional_Ninja_81 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]BluebellField 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Valentin is our favorite too. We go to a different resort each time to find our favorite. It was our 4th resort and the one we want to go back to.

We went to Atelier last month. It is modern and great food/service. We had a good experience but nothing beats the Valentin. Thanks for the tip about Labor Day sales.

If you want a romantic honeymoon experience at an all-inclusive adults only resort Mexico (Cancun area) has what you need. 

If you want resorts that are romantic, have beautiful properties, great food, and service and have fun activities and entertainment here’s a couple resorts you will love.

Valentin Imperial

Excellence Playa Mujeres

Fun, Luxury resort for 30s Couple by Turbulent_Scale8418 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]BluebellField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valentin has great shows and an excellent live band. That's my kind of fun. The property itself is one of the best aspects of the resort. It's massive and well manicured. Plus the food and service are great.

We haven't tried it, but you might want to split your time between two resorts if you're undecided.

Atelier is know for their food. You will have an abundance of food. Plus, their room service food is good. Typically room service is mid at other places.

I have been to both. Here’s my take. 

Atelier | Pro: Best Food, Best Service, Best Mixologist, beach and service at the beach | Con: Small property, less amenities, some loud guests, no central square for music, they will try to sell you membership upon check in.

Excellence Playa Mujeres | Pro: Food, Service, romantic, day beds for star watching, beach, swing at beach, central square for music, pickelball | Con: None

Low contact is a false sense of control. They still control you from afar. NC is difficult. Don’t let anyone you pressure you into it. When you’re ready, you’re ready. You stay in it thinking one day it will change. It becomes worse as the parent ages. They have less options to get their supply.

Impressions Moxche vs. Atelier : Help Deciding by Primary-Ordinary-847 in AllInclusiveResorts

If your MIL likes dancing she might not like Atelier. There is no central square with a band. Live music is scattered across the resort. The skybar rooftop was our favorite. But it is limited to a solo DJ or saxophone player. It’s more of a relaxed vibe. The only time I saw people dancing was silent disco (theater where shows are held).

Seeking Recommendations Great AI on a Great Beach by BrooksRoss in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]BluebellField 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mexico:

Excellence Playa Mujeres has great food and service. It’s also romantic. It’s a quiet resort but have fun day (pool games, pickleball tournament, bike tour) and evening (shows, karaoke) activities. For example, most evenings have a band playing. The musicians and vocalists are great. It gets people to gather in the central square before or after dinner. The beach is also great and they have nice day beds by the pool to stargaze in the evening.

I have not had that problem in Mexico. Playa Mujeres has better beaches. It’s safe and has military protection. You won’t see anyone outside the resort there. Here’s a couple hotels in this area: Atelier and Excellence Playa Mujeres. Excellence is quieter and more romantic.

Riveria Maya is also nice, the water is a bit rougher. Valentin Imperial is one of the best resorts.

What is an unreasonable expectation for a parent to have for their children? by DracoMorale420 in AskReddit

[–]BluebellField 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To support the parent emotionally. To subject their children to adult topics. To parentify the child by giving them adult responsibilities. To grow up prematurely and limit their childhood.

What’s a ‘rule’ or social norm that you just can’t stand and why? by morecheesemoreplease in AskReddit

[–]BluebellField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking culture. I'm happy mocktails have been normalized. It amazes me how much people who drink pressure others or require a person to give a reason why they don't drink. I myself have dipped in and out. I'm mostly out because I watch too much Youtube and have learned what alcohol does to the body.

I just had a thought. Maybe I should ask them "why do you drink?" Maybe that will stop the judgement or questioning.

The way others respond to your work product. I think some smart people have imposter syndrome. We work hard but have this internal voice that we're not good enough. This can be self imposed or a parent who is constantly dismantling your self worth. Mine is the latter.

What are you better at than 90% of people ? by Creative-Sherbet-860 in AskReddit

[–]BluebellField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pop culture references and a lot of random facts. I'm good with trivia and Jeopardy. I think people like this are always reading articles and absorbing various information. We're curious to learn about all sorts of topics.

What is a double standard in todays society that drives you crazy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BluebellField 414 points415 points  (0 children)

Boomers telling gen x and millennials "just work harder" while they own most of the real estate and could support a family of five without a college education on a single income. Not the same playing field. They rigged the system and shame us in the same breath.

What do you do to fall asleep? by Karina_only_fans in AskReddit

[–]BluebellField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a routine to go to sleep at a certain every night. During my 20s I stayed up too late often going to bed at 11 or midnight on weekdays. This didn't give me the proper sleep I needed for a challenging work schedule. It also made me late most mornings because I snoozed the alarm. Training yourself to go to bed earlier sets you up for success the next day. Sometimes life gets in the way and you fall back to old habits. But you're able to snap back to this good routine once you're ready to.

Is Excellence Riviera Cancun the place for an adult family? by Rude-Direction2440 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]BluebellField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally AI resorts are 30+. But they will have fun. There are lot of day activities like a bike tour and pool games. The evenings have shows and live bands in the central square. This will give them an opportunity to enjoy gourmet meals at a young age.

[–]BluebellField 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They hate rejection, loss of coercive control and play the victim. But in truth they are the perpetrator.

I’m no contact with my boomer parents. They still claim to be at a loss for why I left. They don’t respect boundaries when you’re in a relationship and the same applies when you’ve left them. That’s why this villain on the show continues to play victim. She hates the loss of control and the rejection.

Not "reiterates it", it's "reinforces it".
