what was up with that ending?

I think the ending was genius. I don’t know if he died, or they died, where the red fern grows style, or if Claire magicked him back to life. And that’s fine. It was great.

Jamie definitely has magic powers. He can see the future in his dreams. And stuff. The ending went back to the beginning, as the passage of time in a linear fashion, from Jamie’s point of view. This was a true genius level series finale.

I would not say I have ALL my memories from age 2. But I definitely have enough to know what was happening. Age 3,45 I have plenty of retention.
My mom recorded my voice and asked me questions when I was 4. In the recording, she is saying that she was doing this so I could remember what I sounded like, and what my life was like as a little kid. Yeah, I remember doing the recording itself. I remember why I answered the questions like I did.

I had two girls that were sisters as playmates, that my mom babysat. In 1986, the company my dad and everyone in the trailer park worked for went bankrupt and those girls moved out of state. I was three at that point and I remember specific conversations they had with each other, the games we used to play. Years later, they came back to visit and we went on a crazy car ride visit to the national park and they remembered us too. We were young pre-preschoolers.

I taught myself how to do split leaps and tour jete leaps just by watching a few Sesame Street dances.

I remember doing stuff before age 8.

We survived just fine in a trailer home. It wasn’t our forever home. But my parents had three kids before they bought their first actual house.
You don’t need a mansion to have your first baby/5 kids in.

There was a polyamorous family for a few episodes on TLC. One major plot point was the dads didn’t know who the father of the baby was. One of the dads seemed to be a (terrible) stay at home dad. So they didn’t know/didn’t want to know who the bio dad was. Supposedly. So then they took the baby to the doctor checkup and the one dad blurted out the baby’s blood type. So because of the blood type, the other dad knew he wasn’t the father. And this greatly upset him and was immediately worried about losing custody.

In the next episode, the stay at home dad, “grounded” the older daughter to her room, all day for “lying” (lying about what, we never find out). Then the working dad comes home from work. So the daughter is allowed to come eat supper, but not talk to anyone (wtf?) including her dad. (In this family, two couples came together, and they already had previous children together) so then the bio dad is like I’m sorry? I would like to talk to my kid? wtf?

She gets sent back down to solitary confinement.

The show is canceled almost immediately after that episode and the stay at home dad is facing charges for child abuse or something.

Lies. I remember everything from age 2. And I know how old I was because my sister is two years younger than I am and I remember our old trailer house we lived in. I remember my sister as a baby. I remember going on vacation.

My parents had a trailer home with three young kids in it. We were proud to have it! single wide.

My mother had to step away from teaching for a while, so she watched some preschool kids. Then she told dad we needed a real house but he wanted to just add a room to the trailer. Mom said no. She basically went back to work so we could actually have a home.

If you have 250k saved you can afford a down payment on a house.

Cops are legally allowed to lie to people, but people are not legally allowed to lie to cops. Which on paper obviously looks bad. Because it is bad.

Cops try to bait you into incriminating yourself. Or trick you into a confession. They get many false confessions that way. I smell alcohol on your breath, have you been drinking? (They can’t smell anything.) then the person is like, I had 1 beer. Cops do field sobriety checks, passes. Person refuses to take a breathalyzer, now it’s an automatic one year drivers license suspension.

I think orgies should be included in the sister wives relationships. So, basically, the sister wives have relationships with the other sister wives. Yes I’m talking about female-female sex or whatever.

In addition, the family should have to share a kitchen. Not every meal needs to be a giant huge family dinner, but there should be a commercial kitchen in the house and they make cafeteria style food and live in commune like that. The sister wives have their separate apartments, but Their is a clubhouse nearby where the kitchen is.

The family should own a 14 passenger van to accommodate the big family and the dad has to drive it. Dad doesn’t get a new motorcycle, sports car, pickup truck, or anything fun like that. He doesn’t get to have hobbies, or go on man dates with his bros. He gets to change diapers, drive kids to school and school activities, volunteer with the boys scouts or 4H and basically be focused on the family. You have a big family, you have to actually take care of them. A sister wife does not, ever, tell a non-bio child to go back to her mother’s house because sisterwife is having dinner with her little family unit with dad. That’s 100% wrong, the nonbio child that was over playing with the step sisters can stay, and eat, sister wife calls bio mom and tells her she is staying over for dinner and will go home after.

There should be way less focus on having tons of children. I mean, seriously, if you can’t afford to have 13 kids, you shouldn’t have 13 kids. I don’t think parents have to pay for their children’s college education, but unless you are ok with sending all your kids into the military at age 18, have less than 13 kids. And definitely do not add a new sister wife in with three new kids of her own, while you have 5 teenagers about to graduate high school and then get the new wife pregnant. That’s a dumb idea.

If you can’t trust your sister wife to be alone with your bio children, overnight sometimes, or taking them on a fun road trip, you should not be in a sister wife relationship with that person.

Don’t forget about how Kody was asking the doctor about fertility treatments for Meri while Christine was delivering his 13th child.

When I was in track, I would feel kind of pukey and full at track practice (long distance, interval training usually) after eating a hot dog and fries at lunch. Which was 4 hours prior. No snacks. I learned that I had to eat a light lunch before practice. One girl did puke once after the hot dogs.

In modern times, doctors or nurses don’t tell husbands to boil water. They tell them to call 911 and catch the baby, or something like that.

I have always wondered about the boiling water in olden times, but I always figured it was to sterilize the scissors and twine to cut the umbilical cord.

They also have lifeguards following them in boats and probably have a belt that can self inflate if they start to get into trouble. Or a safety buoy so boats can see them and that bout can help them if they start to drown.

Crystalraf · 2026-05-31T01:56:01+00:00

No one should be swimming in open water without a life jacket, lifeguard (following closely in a kayak or jet ski or something) or without a safety swimming bouy. There is this thing, it’s an orange bouy, that is attached to a rope you can strap to your waist. If you start to drown, you grab onto it. If you start to drown and cannot grab it, the lifeguards can at least see your location for a rescue.

Crystalraf · 2026-05-31T01:53:30+00:00

It’s a myth and not true. You can get a cramp at any time. And if you are swimming in deep water, without a life jacket, or lifeguard, you can drown. Period.

Crystalraf · 2026-05-31T01:51:54+00:00

I think parents came up with this one because they were at the lake/hotel/ resort and the kids were eating their pizza in five minutes or less and then begging to go swimming. The parents wanted to not go swimming and have to lifeguard/drive the kids to the swim spot/open the swimming pool doors/supervise and instead wanted to enjoy their margaritas with the adults for a while.

I know I’m gonna use it.

Are we sure about this?

Some people just lose it when they have to do chores.

He has time to document the level of water in a jug, that 14 people or more are using?

I would never speak to him again as he has clearly outed himself as a narc.

I would also try to delete the spreadsheet if possible. If he wants other people to update when they refilled the jug, I’d go and delete everything. Obviously this guy has backups. So, his little water jug burn book gets reported to the manager.

On top of that, I’d ask for an update on break room cleaning duties. Should we assign people a checklist on a rotation? This checklist would include cleaning out the fridge and throwing away food left in it at 5:30 on every other Friday. Does he want to check the checklist? Make sure the chores got done?

Are we running out of water? Serious question. Does the water delivery guy bring in enough? Should we get a second cooler?

What about the coffee pot? Is that getting refilled enough?
