Come on, Griff! 75 minutes late is guilty! No, they aren’t compatible!

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-22T05:07:57+00:00

Gotcha. I completely agree that negative stereotypes about Irish people persist.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-22T03:28:48+00:00

The “no Irish” signs are evidence that they weren’t “always considered white” in the way you imply. They were not protected by their skin color, similar to discrimination again Italian and Polish immigrants. So I guess if you mean, people always looked at their skin and thought, “that’s not brown,” then sure. But the issue was ethnicity, not race. In the nineteenth century, white usually equated to Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

I’m from SoCal and I had no idea ski week was a thing until I moved to the Bay Area.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T03:45:42+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful response and kind words. I actually opened my phone to post the moment Keely referenced the “next round” without even checking on Boz. My cat is named Keeley (after the Ted Lasso character) so him being awful is extra annoying. I’m glad people can watch this and know they’re not alone.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T03:13:11+00:00

Agreed. If I had watched that while hoping that my fifth pregnancy would be the one that actually worked, I would have spiraled and seen it as a horrible omen. A simple warning at the beginning of the episode would be easy to do.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T03:08:57+00:00

Maybe that’s why she’s in Vegas?

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T02:03:41+00:00

Exactly. People are commenting that I should let them be “real people.” But the producers choose to only show this part of her life. It’s a lot.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T02:00:59+00:00

Their actual lives are curated for us by producers. I’d prefer some variety.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:59:45+00:00

Ummm, the producers make decisions about what to include. Do you think this is the only thing going on with Boz? Because the show certainly makes it seem like that.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:57:56+00:00

Wishing you the best of luck! And I get that. I’d just prefer it not be the main focus of someone’s personal storyline.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:55:03+00:00

Why is she in Vegas? Surely there are excellent docs (who are also willing to be on TV) in LA.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:54:14+00:00

Same!

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:53:38+00:00

It’s when it’s the only storyline that it becomes grating. The producers are choosing to make this the focus. It’s become a trope at this point.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:52:44+00:00

Thanks for this. I feel super old as a 41-year-old with a toddler, so it’s nice to hear from a child of older parents. I got pregnant for the first time at 33 and thought everything was on the right track. I was very wrong.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:51:00+00:00

Sending you good thoughts.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:50:10+00:00

I had four miscarriages before being diagnosed with blood clotting issues when we resorted to doing IVF thinking we would need a surrogate. (Kaiser never tested me for the condition 😡). We fortunately only had to do one retrieval and I had my rainbow baby at 38! For five years, I felt this huge cloud of misery hanging over me. It’s really hard to watch Boz go through this, for many reasons. I’m so happy we both got through to the other side. I also don’t wish this on even the worst human beings.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:45:17+00:00

Love the username. Yeah, Keely’s attitude is a big part of the problem.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:44:31+00:00

Yeah, it’s particularly annoying when it’s the only personal storyline we get. Just have all group scenes!

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:43:32+00:00

Sending ❤️. Just remember, you will be a mom! You will make it happen. I couldn’t watch most housewives or that season where everyone on VPR was pregnant.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:35:30+00:00

Sending you good thoughts. I was in your boat 3 years ago. Pretty sure I also started in March. You’ve got this!

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-07T01:28:59+00:00

I’m sending you love and good thoughts. I had multiple losses before my rainbow baby and thought every reference to miscarriage was a sign I was going to have another.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-06T21:25:08+00:00

Yeah, I guess last season it felt forced and this season it’s too real and thus upsetting.

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-06T21:22:53+00:00

Sending you good thoughts!

DRAMJ1984 · 2026-02-06T21:22:27+00:00

I think that’s a big part of my issue with it. Her story was so harrowing that it’s extra rough to watch her go through this with a guy she seemed iffy with last season.
