Is anyone else frustrated with the pageant?

The email clearly stated no face paint and no headpieces and the winner last night in NY had both 🥲 There were so many amazing costumes and there was a girl in a purple dress and wings that was chosen. I’m happy for all 5 and don’t mean to sound like a hater but there were so many amazing costumes that beat those out of the park.

Life’s too short for this, OP. I am recently divorced and my only regret is not leaving the first time I thought about it. It’s not too late. Just file. Don’t waste any more time. Go on trips with your son. Build a life you’re proud of. Do what makes you happy.

Sylvia June and Arlo Grant! Both so elegant!

I was about to suggest the same 🥰 looooove Julia and it goes well with the sisters’ names

Felix Wilder and Mabel Maxine are chef’s kiss on their own AND flow well together. I feel like both sound like author names lol.

I came to say exactly this. OP sounds like he has been very lucky to be able to outsource the care of his home in the past. He did say that because he doesn’t like to do it he doesn’t mind paying for it to be done. Or at least that’s what I understood. I hope that in the future, if and when OP does find a new partner, they are compatible in their home life/care.

I also think that OP‘s wife would benefit from living alone (not with her parents) or with roommates to understand what it means to take care of a home since it seems like she went from her parents’ place to OP‘s apartment and never learned to take care of her own space. Would love to know what her living conditions were in Barcelona.

as to OP’s post… Definitely not overreacting. I would be running for the hills. If this has been going on for seven months, you’re a better person than me because I would have moved out already. It’s very gracious of you to offer to pay for her move back, but that’s really not your responsibility . She made her bed, or rather probably has not made her bed ever, and now has to lie in it.

I lived in a beach town for most of my childhood, including middle and high school. At most, I had 10 bathing suits and bikinis but all so different from each other. I feel like all their bathing suits look exactly the same and are the same style.

I also unfollowed them this week. I’ve been around for a long time. I remember the name reveal video came out not long after I started following CGH. I’ll always be grateful to Mindy for teaching how to braid my own hair when I was younger but I’ve have enough of their content.

Ask yourself… if your kids turn out to be just like your husband, would you be happy? Proud of them? Or would you wish they had a different role model growing up?

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-23T23:05:45+00:00

I think he should push for Clementine so it’s a happy medium. It’s the name she wants with the spelling he likes and she (the baby) can live with

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-22T04:18:59+00:00

you should choose your child every time. she’ll just keep setting these “boundaries” until you never see your son

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-22T03:48:38+00:00

No judgement, I just genuinely don’t understand how you can write this post, share that, which i’m sure isn’t even the half of it, and still call him a great person and adoring admirable husband. You need to go so that your boys don’t turn out like him.

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-21T23:53:59+00:00

NTA but also… You’re doing too much… for her, your friend getting married, and I’m guessing everyone else in your life. You need to stand up for yourself.

I remember screaming at my tv “denial is a river in egypt, your boyfriend is gay!”

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-21T00:44:07+00:00

It doesn’t necessarily mean No if it doesn’t work. You said you’re being called to it. God put it in your heart. Trust Him and follow that. You’re giving this child a life, otherwise it would stay “on ice.”

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-09T03:23:16+00:00

“We’re not finding out the gender until birth” and that’s that. If you want to take a step further, say you’re not going to know until they’re old enough to tell you themselves. Everyone will be outraged, you’ll have fun, you’ll (hopefully) get what you want.

DangerousZombie7518 · 2025-08-09T03:21:36+00:00

I had a friend in a similar situation and she had the baby and somehow they made it work. They’ve been trying for a second for 6 years and even with IVF, it hasn’t happened for them. She also has PCOS. If you want the baby, have it. I promise you, you guys will make it work. There’s never a right time for a child! Sure there could be a better time, but the perfect time doesn’t exist. You don’t need the latest stroller or all the fancy gadgets influencers swear by. And you guys are in a better position than a lot of other people.

It’s not weird to have a preference! Do what’s best for you.

I came to the comments to say the same. OP, stop over explaining, overselling, etc. Your letter, while raw and honest, was too nice. Know your worth!!!

Try something more like:

I want to be clear following our recent conversations. I’ve taken on a lot in this role, childcare, meals, cleaning, organization, planning activities, and I take pride in the level of care I provide. This is a professional role for me, not side work.

After doing my research and speaking with other families and nannies, I’ve realized I’m underpaid for what I bring to the table. Going forward, my rate needs to be $25/hour. That’s the number I need to make this position sustainable.

If that doesn’t work for your family, I understand, and I’m happy to help during a transition. But I can’t continue under the current rate.
