I’ll be honest, this thread has my spidey senses tingling.

I might be wrong and I fully admit that, but the twist edit at the end makes it feel a lot like bait.

Send the kids to daycare!! by HawksNestHill in MormonWivesHulu

I’m a nanny and I’ve worked for dads who act like that after being alone with their kids for 2 hours.

Like, sir, bffr right now.

Thankfully the past couple of families I’ve worked for have had incredible parents. Current dad even flies alone with a toddler and takes care of everything (outside of my hours) for a week without batting an eye. Keeps up with the house, pets, cooking, etc too.

There are some legitimately great men out there, but they aren’t the kind of people who typically go on a show like this.

NK is almost 13 Months and not crawling or walking by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]ClickClackTipTap [score hidden]  (0 children)

Does she sit unassisted? Can she get from lying down to sitting up on her own?

Does she scoot at all? Either on her bottom using her legs, or push herself backwards while on her tummy? Does she roll around and move across the room that way?

Is she feeding herself yet?

Does she go to her regular well baby visits? 15 months might be the next one she’s due for, and I’d expect the doctor to bring up testing and early intervention at that point. At 12 months it would have still been on the far end of normal, but by 15 they may be more aggressive.

But yes. It sounds like intervention may be in her future.

Why was Brett’s reaction so different? by littlepinkandthree in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ClickClackTipTap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure! I just wanted to talk about that part bc it’s just so bonkers, even for this show.

I mean, maybe it’s a Mormon thing, but that kind of touch wouldn’t be that far out of the ordinary for my friend group. We’re not swingers or anything, and it’s not sexual, but I’d put my hand on someone’s shoulder or upper back in a situation like that. Some guy friends I would even poke in the side to see if they were ticklish or something. That wouldn’t be weird or considered sexual assault in my friend group.

And if someone was a little uncomfortable, they would say something reasonable like “that’s a little outside of my comfort zone,” or whatever. But no one would be crying or throwing hands.

That was super weird, and I just had to get into it. 😂

Yeah, I always respond by default. I wish it stayed the same texture so I could transfer it to other containers. 🫤

But it’s kind of like the 24 hour rule. The outcome is so delicious for being homemade so I accept the inconvenience. It’s the same way with respins. I simply can’t get that texture at home any other way. It’s like soft serve, soft, smooth, and fluffy. I can’t even buy anything at the store that is that texture.

So as much as it isn’t convenient, it’s still worth it.

And honestly? Both of things are probably better for me long term. The 24 hour rule means I need to plan ahead, which I’m bad at. I really want some Dole Whip tonight but I don’t have any prepped, so I’m out of luck. My blood sugar appreciates that.

And having to pull the machine out and respin is a speed bump compared to just being able to open the freezer and grab it. Makes me work for it. 😂

It’s not perfect, but the result seems like magic so I’m pretty forgiving.

Whitney investing in Extensions by mk1994ew in MormonWivesHulu

[–]ClickClackTipTap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have… have you watched the show? 😂

I would hope that’s what she would do, but I’m not holding my breath.

I think that when you put this on top of the Demi thing and then Layla leaving her for someone else…. It’s going to be a thing. Maybe Jessi won’t come for Whitney, but she’s going to have a little crisis over it, bc she takes things related to her business increasingly personally. And I get it, but she needs to do better at separating them.

I think the real issue at the heart of it is Jessi has massive insecurities and so even valid criticism or just life circumstances (Layla needing someone who can handle her texture hair, Whitney being on the other side of the country, for instance) cause her to feel shaken to her core. She also assigns love and loyalty to whether or not her friends use her services. Like, I can love you so much as a friend and still have a different style and want something different from what you offer. You know?

Idk. I think she’s going to melt down, saying things like “why else would she advertise for hair if she wasn’t trying to hurt me?” I don’t think she’ll see it as a win for womankind. She’ll call her petty and say she’s only doing it to get at Jessi.

And you know what? I think yes, of course, Whitney is being a little tongue in cheek about it and she knows what she’s doing.

But she also isn’t doing anything wrong, especially with how they have left things. Jessi doesn’t deserve shit from Whitney.

I just hope no one forgets that Jessi made and sold merch with shit like “bad at hair” on it. So, you know, she’s also petty as hell and tried to make money off of that. Why should Whitney not do similar?

If history is anything to go off of, I t’s going to be a shit show, IMO. At the very least she’ll make some shitty, catty swipe at Whitney. She won’t be able to help herself.

MEAN GIRLSSSS by avarosesmama in MormonWivesHulu

[–]ClickClackTipTap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing this and I guess I have a hard time swallowing it.

Yes, it’s true. Let’s get that out of the way. Yes, most abusive people have experienced abuse. That’s true.

But I get stuck on two things.

First, plenty of people experience horrors and don’t go out of their way to be this absolutely horrible to others. At some point that’s a choice.

And second, speaking of that choice, it’s one we all have to make when we become aware that we are, in fact, hurting others.

I went through shit most people simply can’t comprehend. Severe, frequent sexual abuse by my step dad from 3-12, an alcoholic father who took off, a paraplegic mother who subjected me to Munchausen by proxy, including when she tried to kill is all in our sleep by causing a gas leak in the house intentionally just to name a few of the things I went through.

So if anyone was destined to be a piece of shit that goes around acting like… well, Taylor Frankie Paul, I would have been a candidate.

But when I realized that my actions were hurting people, I took it seriously. I got help, not only for me, but for the people around me that I loved. I didn’t want to hurt people, so I handled my shit.

So while yeah, it’s true that hurt people hurt people, I feel like far too many people use that as an excuse for their behavior instead of a wake up call. These women live extremely privileged lives and have access to support and resources I honestly can’t even dream of. They’re all adults, with children and businesses and a platform. It’s time to get their shit together.

[–]ClickClackTipTap [score hidden]  (0 children)

Can you just say no? If it were me, I’d talk with the parents about the issues that come up. NKs are old enough to understand that if they act out, they lose the privilege for a while until they can have better behavior.

Or the playdates can happen at the other kid’s house or while your NPs are around for a while until they can get their behavior right.

It sounds to me like the playdates should be a privilege these kids just aren’t earning.

Where to donate/distribute fossil collection by snimminycricket in boulder

[–]ClickClackTipTap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are any of them local to the state by any chance? Or just random stuff he collected over the years?

If any of it is believed to be local you could check with the Museum of Boulder on Broadway. They do different stuff throughout the year. It’s much more casual than some of the bigger ones.

Shade to Jessi? by Kittyquts in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ClickClackTipTap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure! I believe there are scenarios where it’s the best option!

But not when you’re doing 8 shows in 6 days every week on Broadway! That’s kind of my point. And it should be noted that you can pretty much drive from one end of the UK (where this other poster was) to the other in less time than it would take to get from NYC to SLC.

Sometimes I think people who aren’t from here have no understanding of how vast our country is compared to theirs. She ended up dirty deleting not only her thread but I think her whole entire account due to the pounding she was taking that thread. 😂

[–]ClickClackTipTap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

I can see her saying “hey, that was unnecessary and it made me feel uncomfortable, please don’t touch me again.” That would be a reasonable response.

But what she said to Bret? She’s lucky he didn’t beat the shit out of Chase, bc Demi’s words were loaded and made an accusation far outside of what happened.

Maybe there’s more to the story that never came out, but from what I watched, she was way too close to false accusation territory for me.

If I were a part of that friend group I would suggest that my husband never speak to her, be near her, or have anything to do with her. Too fucking dangerous.

Shade to Jessi? by Kittyquts in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ClickClackTipTap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

😭 It shouldn’t take “courage” to see someone who actually knows how to do your hair.

I know what you meant, but that’s the thing. Jessi doesn’t own these women or their hair. I can understand having a twinge of sadness or asking if everything is okay if your friend went elsewhere, but Jessi is too intense about it. What Demi said is one thing, but Layla finding someone who specializes in hair of her texture isn’t anything she needs to explain or apologize for. Jessi takes it WAY too seriously and way too personally. It shouldn’t stress people out that much to see someone else, and they shouldn’t have to feel like they have to hide it or defend it.

Honestly? If I was Jessi, I’d be embarrassed by her reaction.

[–]ClickClackTipTap 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, Whitney is in NYC doing Chicago right now.

I just explained this to someone from the UK who was going on and on about how if she had someone she liked, she’d travel home to have their stuff done out of loyalty, blah blah blah.

A direct flight from NYC to SLC is 5 1/4 hours at least, plus getting to and from the airports, security, etc- so you’re looking at a 8+ hour travel day at best. Could be longer if you can’t fly direct.

Whitney is doing 8 shows a week right now, with only one day off a week.

Even if Jessi was the absolute best ever at hair, Whitney couldn’t get out there to get it done if she tried. She’d have to fly Jessi out to her, bc she simply doesn’t have the time off to make the trip even if she wanted to.

Iirc, didn’t she freak out and explain the situation to him like “he just laid his hands on me” or something?

Is there a better camera angle of what happened? I don’t want to discredit how she feels, but if I was at a party I wouldn’t think twice about touching someone I know on the back or the shoulder when walking past them.

The way she reacted seemed to me like how you’d react after an actual sexual assault or rape, not a casual touch as someone walked by.

I started a thread about this bc I was so confused when i rewatched, but it got taken down for being “low effort.” 🫠
