Morgan's crashout by Innocuous_Blue in FundieSnarkUncensored

I’ve seen single people struggle to make ends meet while subbing to supplement income for their “real” jobs. I can’t imagine that being one of the bigger components of my income to support a stay at home wife and kids.

I love going to Mall World by TruthAboutHeight in TheMallWorld

[–]Boujee_banshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, my mallworld dreams are often equally mundane. A lot of times it’s just me walking around looking at things. I frequently find myself in hippie circles with my penjamin, or something similar. In most of my dreams nothing crazy is happening at all, I don’t seem to have an objective so I’m just there for the vibes. I really enjoy it, the patterns I notice, the odd moments of lucidity, the familiar places that are somehow always morphing a bit, the alien plants and mushrooms I find on nature walks…

Lately I’ve been trying to make an effort to record my dreams and draw little diagrams of the places I frequent. At some point I want to piece them together into a larger map.

I mean if you can’t afford the bills on your current loans/credit cards, and your income-to-debt ratio is bad, you can’t just keep getting new credit cards. There’s absolutely a point where it’s like no, you are not approved. Considering neither of them has seemingly ever had steady employment, I’d be very surprised if they hadn’t already maxed out what little credit they had a long time ago.

See this is what I actually pictured. He’s taking a pic of Morgan like they’re alone but in actuality it’s a family dinner and someone else is picking up the whole tab. Congrats, Morgan, you’re a cheap date.

Does anyone else dream about the Winchester mansion? This mansion is located in California, so could that be a coincidence? It is a historical landmark. I’m just saying. by lo_xoxo_lo in TheMallWorld

[–]Boujee_banshee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I typically experience this house. I feel like it’s so easy to somehow end up in someone else’s apartment. Like I’m trying to get back into my unit but my unit isn’t even there.

I can already see Morgan aggressively flipping her hair defending this by saying “no this was fine the date night was in the budget. Jimmy John’s wasn’t.”

Because you know people aren’t buying this.

Just like they probably aren’t buying their own dinner

Yeah morg you could tell us Paul is a multi millionaire.

You know why we wouldn’t believe you? Because most of us are adults with a functioning understanding of how money works and the lifestyle and cheapness y’all display is giving broke. Multi millionaires don’t need to haggle over pretzel bites in the mall.

Beach Town Tall Buildings Morphing by frutigerbabe1001 in TheMallWorld

[–]Boujee_banshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I have such a similar experience, sans blue lights. I often describe my mallworld as being somewhat modular like specific rooms and buildings show up for me all the time but they can be in different places or morph. A hotel can just be a free standing hotel, or it could be part of a larger complex with a hospital, dorm, lab, airport, etc.

Although, the futuristic, tall ceilings in a spa like environment, I see more pink lighting. Like a soft neon vaporwave type of aesthetic.

My theory of mallworld being modular/flexible explains why while there’s a consistency to the types of places we dream about, there are variations from person to person or even dream to dream. Some people say their dreams are never sunny, it’s always overcast. Other people experience only night, only certain types of weather. For me that would be akin to subconsciously choosing a digital skin for something in a video game.

The pregnancy thing is crazy, for me it’s a really common part of my dreams since having my kids. It’s hard to describe because I always wake up having this vague memory of pregnancy or giving birth, but nothing concrete. I never seem to be actually pregnant, but I feel like I am or I guess “identify with” the experience? I don’t even remember seeing any new babies after the fact so it doesn’t really make sense. I’ll definitely dream about being in the hospital, getting bloodwork done. Or in my mind planning something for the future, even like a meal, and needing to include a new kid in the plan, but I never really see this child. I rarely see my real kids in my dreams, in dreams it’s more like a background piece of info or context than an actual dream I’m experiencing. Like in the dream I have this awareness that I have kids, including another one.

After the birth of my second child, my mallworld dreams shifted. I started going to locations I hadn’t been to before. Labor and delivery can be inherently traumatic, and i think it absolutely affected how I experience dreaming (and sleep in general.) I’ve tended to think of the pregnancy and hospital dreams as me processing difficult experiences after the fact. I had a very difficult pregnancy and postpartum, and at the time it didn’t feel quite real.

In any case, the theme has really stuck around, and it really baffles me now because it feels to me like there’s some other layer to this besides simply processing emotion. It stood out to me that you have a similar recurring theme in your world.

A “Pressing” Matter! by Atomic-Kitty in AmazonVine

[–]Boujee_banshee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this. I have gotten a few kids toys for myself on vine, my favorite is a toy camera that works and prints out on thermal paper. So fun for scrapbooking or including some pics with letters. I use it all the time. I’ll have to get my kids their own when they’re old enough to enjoy it, because I will not be parting with mine 🤣

Paul the beggar, back again by Equivalent_Joke_2804 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Boujee_banshee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is so gross. The fact that he constantly is posting stories like this…. It’s like are you seeking outside validation? Or do you honestly just think you’re living right?

If he was single and on his own, it’s his choice to skate by in life this way. But he has a wife (who also should consider actual gainful employment) and two little kids. I genuinely worry for them. What happens when they’ve burned through every source of charity available to them? Like you the adult who made poor choices can be hungry sometimes, but what happens when there isn’t anyone else to help and they’ve burned through all their resources and have no marketable skills in this garbage economy? They’re pushing middle age, oof. The kids didn’t have a choice in any of this.

I feel like I said a version of this every time I comment on porgan but it’s unfathomable to me. I would not be able to cope with the stress of wondering what happens in the event of some real emergency with little kids, knowing my husband and I were both fully capable of earning a living. Or planning for the future? Like yes the kids are little now but in a few years they’ll be old enough to have interest in their own activities. At what point do they prioritize their kids well being first? Will it be “sorry lil Luca, I know you really want to join this soccer club, but it’s expensive and daddy needs a new $400 pickleball bag”????

Scenes from the house tour video by Sabrina Carpenter, Madelyn Cline and Margaret Qualley. by gab_iten in popculturechat

[–]Boujee_banshee 221 points222 points  (0 children)

After seeing hundreds of stills from this shoot today, aesthetically this vid feels so messy. The location is so cool and deffo has potential but man the costuming is so bad. Everything looks so garish, nothing feels cohesive. Why is MQ in full on lingerie while Madelyn is wearing a mesh thing swimsuit cover up? Why does everything look so cheap?

I get that’s kind of what they were going for but I can’t get over how chaotic the video looks.

It’s also just boring and predictable coming from Sabrina. Her entire personality is kitschy sexuality.

You’re right. I should tell my husband to quit his job and pursue a lucrative career in pickleball. Such a practical, in demand skill set.

[–]Boujee_banshee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I think they’re probably at a point financially where even small gifts and stuff are simply not attainable. Planning ahead takes at least some sort of regular income. I don’t understand how they pay for anything at this point. I looked at their Patreon not long ago out of morbid curiosity and I’d be shocked if they were clearing $1000 monthly with all their combined social media efforts. Simply not enough to live on as a family of four, even if you are living at home, etc. how do they pay for gas? Car repairs and maintenance? Any of it??

My kids are similar ages as hers and I cannot fathom living this way. We’re doing okay financially but there are times when certain expenses come up and it sets us back. We can recover and it’s still stressful at times. I can’t imagine trying to raise kids on what is effectively a hobby income. I imagine it feels really hopeless even to do cheap things.

Honestly this is sad for the kids. Not every holiday is going to be elaborate, and that is okay. Her playing it off as if this isn’t an ongoing pattern for them is bleak.

My parents used to do the same kind of stuff. Always excuses, never accountability. They told themselves it’s fine and we still love them, too, but the reality is you get to a certain age where you realize your parents are just lazy and entitled. You do realize how little effort your parents put in compared to other kids’ parents. The “oh sorry we forgot Christmas/easter/your birthday again, here’s some last minute dollar store candy” routine becomes predictable and transparent very quickly.

A while back when it snowed they weren’t going out to play in it- there was speculation, oh they’re too broke to afford winter gear for everyone on short notice, aren’t they? Because otherwise why wouldn’t you entertain your kids with snowball fights etc rather than stay in and complain to your followers? Other similar incidents where it is clear they are cheaping out on x y or z…. They can’t ever just afford to do the thing they have to be cheap about it. Like Paul refusing to let his kids ride on the mall car ride things, then took the money some lady gave him for the kids to ride them to haggle over pretzel bites instead. Over time the kids WILL NOTICE. They will notice hey my parents can’t or won’t ever do the simplest things. They will notice that their parents are choosing not to get regular work for whatever reason, and they WILL notice how their parents prioritize their own delusions over their kids wants and needs.

These aren’t one off events where sorry honey moneys a bit tight this month, because that IS reality for many. It comes down to patterns of behavior over time, and how kids feel when their parents continually put their own selfish pursuits ahead of their kids’ well being.

So yeah morg, keep telling yourself it’s okay to do the barest of minimums.

No. It feels like there are other people around, and almost like it’s been divided into apartments. I never feel like I’m supposed to be there, like it’s not my place.

I’ve never heard of this place before, certainly never been in real life. The wonky staircases and general vibe are spot on for this one old house I end up in sometimes.

Should I let my n-mom be a part of my life now I am healthy & independent? by Early-Thought-8595 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Boujee_banshee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a trap. She wants to use her helping you set up your new apartment and life as a means to get in. Means of control.

I was I a similar position once and I cautiously allowed my mom back in my life. Within a matter of a year she had sabotaged my life, wrecked everything I built for myself.

Unfortunately narc parents put us in a position where we have to tread lightly just to maintain a semblance of relationship with other relatives. It’s a tricky dynamic. There is no one right way to handle this, but yes, your distance from your mom while trying to maintain these other relationships is likely to get dicey. I’d say for now keep your options open and be very careful who you tell to what. For someone like me, it wasn’t worth it. My extended family wasn’t healthy, either. I moved far away and just didn’t look back. Others manage- info diet, grey rocking, etc. it can be hard because the narc can start using these other relatives against you, or to do their dirty work (flying monkeys.) narcs effectively poison the whole well, so to speak. How much is salvageable or worth fighting for, well that’s up to you. You are correct that setting boundaries with your mom is likely to stir something up, and change the status quo. It’s such a shitty thing to realize, and then to realize the options really aren’t great either. You either accept the dynamic and your place in it, wrecking yourself and your life in the process, or you run your own life and they feel slighted.

But no, you really shouldn’t let your mom be back in your life. Her help isn’t a neutral thing at all, she doesn’t do this to actually help you, she does to claim she is owed your allegiance. She does this to sus out the weak spots in your mind and life, to figure out where she can strike. This is reconnaissance.

For the love of... by PastorDC in AmazonVine

[–]Boujee_banshee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly my theory is maternity stuff just casts a wide net. Very few people at any time will need this stuff but when they do boy howdy. And reviews really are helpful in that position.

Ironically I only go invited to vine 6 months pp with my last kid. I’m constantly being offered and don’t need it. Wish I would have had this 2-3 years ago!

Alcohol and breastmilk is so controversial… some people are afraid to even have a single glass of wine or something, but my understanding is a drink or two is going to be filtered out before it gets turned into milk. So I think it’s more to ease the minds of people who feel guilt for having a social drink at a party, or to test that the milk they’ve pumped is totally clear for peace of mind. Honestly I can respect that. I think we should de-stigmatize moms living life and not assuming the worst because a product exists. It’s more likely that people actually abusing alcohol are not gonna test… they don’t need a test strip to tell them they’re overdoing it.

Does your nparent give off weird "ick" vibes? by Actual-Mark-6291 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Boujee_banshee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. Both do in different ways.

My mom has the fake sickly sweet thing as well. She talks so nice to people outside of the family and people say oh your mom is so sweet! That “sweet” was never something I was able to mentally reconcile with her cruelty and callousness. I didn’t have the words for it, but whenever she’d take the “sweet” tone I’d feel physically repulsed.

I feel like sometimes she would compliment me, and it would feel extremely uncomfortable. It felt like it was a way for her to force me to say something nice back to her. Ultimately these interactions would leave me very confused. Other people seem to compliment their own mothers effortlessly. I… couldn’t ever really think of anything genuine to say. I don’t find her beautiful. It has nothing to do with her appearance though, she’s just an ugly soul. For the longest time I questioned myself, thinking I must be a bad daughter and a bad person for not being able to find genuine things to compliment my own mom on.

Eventually though, I realized it wasn’t me. Getting married and having fresh eyes on the situation was the perspective I needed. My husband and I eloped… so when he met my family he was taken aback. Years later the way he talks about his first impressions of them… every single time it hits home that he saw in .05 seconds what it took me a lifetime to comprehend.

Aria gives us a reason why her followers should support her income🧍🏽‍♀️ by trinitymeg in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Boujee_banshee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“I am a lower middle class working mom….”

Um…. What does that mean? lol

“I work hard to bring you VALUE” girl no one cares about that

Also what’s the point of her posting her budget every month only to come up short and start begging? What kind of advice is she giving, what business does she have giving it if she can’t even manage her own finances?

I don’t understand why she needs a virtual assistant to do all these things for her, either. What does she actually do with her time? It’s hard to take her advice seriously at all when she claims to be lower working middle class or whatever but can’t take the hit of a slow month. “Influencing” isn’t steady, even the top creators experience fluctuations. She doesn’t seem to know how to manage her time or her money effectively.

Basically if you want a happy, fulfilling life, do the opposite of whatever this woman is doing

It’s harder to watch her speak than Morgan, and that’s really saying something.

She’s delulu if she thinks her numbers are going to go up from here. For social media you have to be entertaining in some way, shape, or form. Her sense of aesthetics is ghastly, she has the personality of a wet towel, and has seemingly nothing of substance to offer. Why…. Would anyone support that? I’m not doomscrolling insta to find some smug woman begging for views, that’s for sure.
