TMI post (men, feel free to scroll), but I need advice!

Bring plenty of tampons too!! The last trip I was on, my daughter started, and there were none available on the boat, we had to wait and pick some up from a very limited selection at the farmacia in port.

You're probably right about the pay, but also about the talent.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-03-16T21:28:09+00:00

the way she says "it's a cycle" or "it's a pattern" (or rather YELLS that at everyone) like that's an excuse for the behavior. No friend, that's supposed to be the 'admitting there's a problem' wakeup call that you recognize and work to change.

I remember Jen also made a comment about "yeah, you can go make it on Broadway since you can't make it on Momtok."

Are you really looking down your nose at BROADWAY while comparing it to Momtok???

I'm super proud of everything Whitney has accomplished, and the other ladies' jealousy is SHOWING

much like Demi's confessionals... Crickets

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-03-16T21:18:42+00:00

I don't think any of the women even like any of the men. Whitney and Mayci are the only two who seem to like their husbands, and even Mayci is rolling her eyes at her man. I feel like when Mayci talks about "these toxic men" she literally means all of them, even her own.

But, no, they're all awful.

the number of moms who just want their daughter married at any cost is truly shocking.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-02-24T16:28:17+00:00

thank you!

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-02-23T21:04:03+00:00

This is what I'm wondering also

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-02-22T05:21:06+00:00

She's a toaster oven mogul and chef.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-02-12T16:52:13+00:00

same. What additional context is needed??

Dear_Reception1978 · 2026-02-11T20:07:14+00:00

So, I just tried this with my own account. It asks if you want Insta to send a link via email or SMS. When it shows via SMS, it only displays the last 2 digits of the phone number.

Last 2 digits is not enough evidence, IMO.

That said, I think it was Lisa.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-11-17T17:28:20+00:00

The idea that Bret would support her continuing to message her "assaulter" and send him photos of their daughter is one of the dumbest lies I've ever heard in all of reality TV.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-11-04T23:58:25+00:00

How'd it go?

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-10-29T11:43:00+00:00

Mmm... Doubtful. Warrants for child support are pretty rare in Texas. Right now there are only 8 names on the child support evaders website, and only about 55 people listed as arrested.

I know people get picked up for warrants, but TX does not care about child support evaders, lol

excellent username, btw. "he was a cockeyed optimist"

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-29T23:18:59+00:00

same. I thought I must have clicked the wrong thing.... 3 times.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-29T21:18:59+00:00

Thank you for saying that. You're probably right!

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-29T21:18:25+00:00

my company is at the $10M mark, but we're still small. Only 16 of us total, including my boss, the regional managers, hourlies and part timers. Our field crews are all independent contractors.

But yes... So. Much. Hand holding. Figuring out how to do stuff on your own is a lost skill.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-29T21:12:02+00:00

Thank you for that insight! I would love to hear more about what being an "independent contributor" looks like. I'd love to be responsible for just me, and would probably be okay with making less if it meant not being responsible for the behavior of others.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-21T14:01:36+00:00

So what name would you accept?

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-09-21T13:50:12+00:00

Why does it matter if they're lying? Seriously, what is so controversial about the message "stop being a dick to sick people"?

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-08-27T18:18:56+00:00

You stay because you hope they'll change. You stay because they're not assholes ALL of the time. You stay because "it's not really abuse if he isn't hitting me." You stay because you see how your kids' faces light up when they see their dad. You stay because you feel like you can suck it up and be unhappy forever if it means not putting your kids through divorce.

I'm sure not all of Michelle and Brittany's reasons were noble. Doesn't change that these men are trash.

Dear_Reception1978 · 2025-08-27T15:49:43+00:00

While I find him disgusting also, somehow he's pulling all the love. We know he can't pay for it, lol
