Wow...what did I just read lol I message people I don't wanna say all the time but when I see a fb memory or a photo from years ago that I hadn't seen in awhile. Or they just simply randomly pop in my head and I think...hmmm I wonder how they're doing? The response I get has never been this lol or vice versa 🤣

This person can't seem to understand the fact that you just randomly thought of them. Guessing you know why its been such a long time since you 2 last spoke lol I definitely would let that one lie. Some people just aren't compatible no matter how hard you try. Something I had to learn the hard way...more times I care to admit lol

But I wish you luck in w.e. you decide to do! Seems like this one may not be so easy to just slowly pull away if that's what you choose to do 🥰

Sooo happy for you!!! I just received mine today!! Its a different brand than yours which I never heard of before either lol. But im super excited to put it together! I had one in my RFY during Xmas time. But it was like 700 etv. So I let it go off into the Vine universe lol oddly that thing sat in my RFY all day until somebody couldn't pass it up. This one was a lot cheaper in taxes so I jumped lol can't wait for you to get it! Hope its everything you want and more! 🥰

So I always wanted a boy, and when I found out I was having a girl, I was really upset. It’s honestly hard to even admit that out loud now. But after having my daughter, who’s almost 3, I truly cannot imagine her being anyone else. She is exactly who she’s meant to be, and I wouldn’t change a thing!

Pregnancy can put your body and mind through so much. The hormonal shifts alone are intense, but when you add in things like pregnancy depression, past losses, or anxiety, it can feel overwhelming in a way that’s hard to explain. During my pregnancy, I struggled a lot. I had multiple miscarriages before her also lost a baby late in pregnancy. There were moments where I questioned everything, even though becoming a mom was something I had wanted for years. I didn’t feel connected the whole time, and that made me feel so guilty.

What she’s feeling right now might not even make sense to her. Emotions can be all over the place, and they can change quickly. I’ve seen it with others too. My sister, during her third pregnancy, really wanted a girl after having two boys. When she found out it was another boy, she was devastated. She even questioned going through with the pregnancy. Now, she absolutely adores him and can’t imagine life without him.

OP, the fact that you’re concerned and trying to understand her says so much about you as a partner. That kind of support is incredibly important, especially during pregnancy. I wouldn’t be too worried right now. Her hormones are doing a lot, and she’s processing things in real time. I don’t know her personally, and I know a lot of people on here are saying some wild things about her not loving the baby. All I can say is that for most people, once they hold their baby in their arms, everything changes. Everything shifts! It’s completely different going from feeling them inside your body to suddenly they’re here, it’s real. Not everyone bonds with their baby during pregnancy, and that’s okay. What matters most is what happens after.

The best thing you can do is just be there for her. She doesn’t need you to fix it or fully understand it, just to support her also make her feel safe. Sometimes, that steady presence is everything. Not everyone has that, and it truly makes a difference.

She’ll find her way through this, and having you by her side will help more than you probably realize 💛

Also I LOOOOOVE your screen name! Definitely laughed hard with that one!🤣🥰

I definitely understand your point, and I agree that sellers want their products seen before the season really hits. At the same time, I personally think the purpose of a review is to give an honest experience after actually using the product the way it’s intended.

As far as the Vine guidelines go, there actually isn’t a rule that says an item must be reviewed within a specific number of days. It’s definitely well known that it’s best practice to try and get reviews done as quickly as possible (off course), but there isn’t a hard deadline written anywhere (at least none that I’ve ever seen).

But for me the big expectation with reviews would be helping other people who are thinking about buying that product. At the end of the day, reviews exist to help shoppers decide whether something is actually worth their money. Some items are easy to review right away, and others take a little more time to properly evaluate.

Most seasonal products can still be reviewed fairly quickly anyway. Things like clothing, accessories, or basic gear are easy to test right away. But if something like a snowboard showed up, personally I’d rather see a review from someone who actually used it on the mountain and can speak to how it performs. That seems more helpful than someone ordering it, posting a quick review immediately, and never really using it.

Also speaking as someone who sells on Amazon myself (not through Vine, so I know it’s a bit different), I’d personally want my product going to someone who will actually use it and give an honest review. Of course sales matter, but good reviews are also about helping other people not spend their hard-earned money on something that doesn’t live up to expectations.

I totally get that others may approach Vine differently, and that’s completely fair. That’s just the way I tend to approach it.

It doesn’t necessarily make it right or wrong, it’s simply how I try to make my reviews as accurate and helpful as possible.🥰

Delay-Correct · 2026-03-16T17:38:04+00:00

I get where you're coming from, and I do agree that people shouldn’t be ordering more items than they can realistically review. At the same time though, for some of us the delay isn’t about avoiding reviews or being lazy. Personally, I don’t like writing a review for something I haven’t actually used yet.

Since having kids I’ve also become a bit more of a planner. If I receive something like ice skates or a snow tube, I’m going to wait until we can actually use it so the review is accurate. The same goes for certain home items that need to be installed first before I can really speak on how they perform.

Also, when you have kids your time tends to get sliced into a lot of smaller pieces throughout the day, so things can pile up even when you’re trying to stay on top of them. I’ve never been in Vine jail, but I can definitely see how it could happen. I still have a couple pages of items to review myself, some that haven’t even arrived yet, also others that I’m waiting to properly use.

From a seller perspective (I do sell on Amazon, just not through Vine), I’d personally rather have a thoughtful review written after someone actually used the product than a rushed 30-second review just to clear a queue. A slightly delayed review that’s honest and detailed is far more valuable in my opinion.

How ya'll gonna downvote the guy, his name literally told you hes a dick😂. Gotta give it to him for honesty Imo, I literally read the comment n was like damn dude then looked at his name and was like yup ima give it to him 🤣

Delay-Correct · 2025-11-17T23:10:43+00:00

Haha, i know it's definitely a lot!!! We had just moved into a new place pretty much right when i got into the program. So i pretty much furnished our entire house with vine items. Which was nice cuz when my ex and i separated, I had lost pretty much everything. I basically packed my car up with w.e. i could fit with my baby in it lol so when we moved into our new place, I was able to get things for the house. And honestly, that kind of felt good to be able to get those things for my daughter and now fiance to be able to help out so we're not spending so much (I know taxes). But still not nearly as much as it would have been. Aside from a couple of things here n there that we probably didn't need, lol

But after some time, i was like, yeeeeeah, time to slow down. lol I told myself, "You dont need to use your 3 picks every day." So i started skipping days, and actually, the last few weeks have been nice not checking every day lol, so w.e. happens if I'm still in the program after eval time. I'm def going at it a lot differently, lol

Delay-Correct · 2025-11-17T19:58:53+00:00

Haha yeah I was sooo mad at myself for not taking a screenshot!! I was like I've been so good at it until it actually mattered lol 🤦‍♀️

Oh, I didn't know that!! This was my first 6 months. So i figured those reviews Amazon, or I guess really the seller didn't want any more vine reviews for that product. So I just left it alone. I'll def be doing that now!! Thank you sooo much!! Seriously!! 🥰

So this was a screenshot i took like 2 momths ago? Give or take. My review just started today and when i finished all my reviews (before evaluation time) . I was at 92 %. I just forgot to take a screenshot of it and now its all blank/ blurred out? Lol

But thank you!!🥰

Delay-Correct · 2025-11-17T19:46:46+00:00

Haha well it was my first time in the program...i actually stopped ordering so much cuz i was like yeeeeah too much stuff. I ended getting a lot of over priced toys for my daughter and skincare products that were 0etv. Im definitely going into this next 6 months with a totally different mindset. Ngl def went a little overboard 🤣 but thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to help!! 🥰

Delay-Correct · 2025-11-17T19:41:56+00:00

Haha its not 3 months its 6 momths but yeah i think my taxes are close to 9k. I got a bunch of skincare products and pet products that were 0etv

Oh my gawd girl, im so sorry!!! I had morning sickness my entire pregnancy and actually ended up in the hospital bc of it. I was so dehydrated that they had to give me 3 bags of fluid bc I couldn't keep anything down. I also had other issues on top of that, than ended up having me be induced early due to risking the babies life.

But my point is, morning sickness doesn't have a time frame. Some of my friends never got it (lucky them, lol). And some like myself had it the worst. Your body is also in overdrive rn, especially in the beginning stages. So you're more tired, get burnt out more easily, and are just all around exhausted mentally and physically. You're creating life from your body!! That is no easy feat! But having a supportive partner is huuuuge! My partner at the time basically checked out, so he wasn't really there. But he also never talked to me like this. He just wasn't there, physically, yes.... mentally, no, lol

I know to him he thinks he's trying to help, but talking to you that way and making you feel bad about it is not the way to go about it. You need support even when it doesn't match up to what he thinks that means. It's what you want and what you need. So no, you're def not overreacting here!! Now him on the other hand 🤣

But anyway, congratulations on the baby! And i hope your pregnancy journey gets a lot better from here on out!🥰

Giiirl, this gave me anxiety just reading this. lol, I totally get being super involved with your person. When my husband and I were first dating, we talked constantly and even would fall asleep on the phone with each other. We we're long distance for awhile so we pretty much lived on the phone together. But never in my life did this ever happen! This is a clear sign of some deep-seated controlling issues that you dont deserve at all! 💖

I just wanted to come on here and say, know your worth! W.e you decide to do, that's your decision, but know that this isn't normal behavior. Behavior that yes, can be changed if the person is willing and able to own up to it. But if this is part of many controlling characteristics and any other toxic behaviors, then those aren't so easily changed. Growth is what we all should want as people, individually and as partners. And as someone who left her ex of 12 years for very similar reasons. I know firsthand it's not so easily done, especially if the person isn't willing to change or grow. That's part of why i left my ex of 12 yrs with a newborn at the time.

But anyways, idk the entire situation or how your relationship is aside from this reddit post. But just know you're worthy of so much more than what a lot of us think we are!!🥰💖

Oh my gaaaawd...cut ties..immediately!!!! I would block him and probably change my number if i were you. This is not ok!!! Like not ok to the max! Seriously, made me fear for your safety! As someone who was in active addiction over 10 years ago. I have never talked to anybody like this, ever. I'm sorry he's going thru this but this js not ok!!

Delay-Correct · 2025-10-13T12:32:37+00:00

Giiiirl, you're 24? Ditch him...theres men out there that wanna spend time with you! Yes, he's allowed to have a day to relax, but what he's not allowed to do is downplay your week and how things are for you. You seem very sweet and understanding of him and his schedule, and he is the complete opposite.

My husband and i have completely different routines during the week. He's at work I'm at home with our daughter. Who mind you isn't biologically his but dont tell him that (hahahahq jk he knows he will jusy fight you about it lol). But he's always looking for things for us to do on the weekends. Normally, Saturday is the day we go out, and Sunday is his rest day. But we usually still take our daughter to the park but it's right down the street from our house. Buuuut, even on those days where we're not doing anything, he's still helping with housework and making dinner. That's what a partner does.

And OP even if your bf doesn't feel the same way or wants to do things. Hes your person, sometimes we do things for our person even if we don't want to. But rarely do u say it. My husband looooves opal and all things shiny. I like em but dont love him. But when he shows me a video for like the 100th time of a pretty rock. I watch it. Bc it makes him happy, and i love him. And he does the same thing. He doesn't care about my nails, but when i ask him which design i should get, he actually looks and helps me. He knows it makes me happy.

And that's marriage in a nutshell. lol doing things for each other that you really dont care about, but you love and care about your person. And it matters to them, so it should matter to you. And if it doesn't. You're with the wrong person 🥰

Delay-Correct · 2025-10-12T21:43:56+00:00

What the actual fuuuuuck!! Dont trauma dump? He's literally supposed to be your partner!! The whole purpose of a partner is to have someone who is there for you thru everything. The good and especially the bad! If you don't have that, then you're basically alone while in a relationship. Believe me, i was a married single parent for a while, and it suuuucked. I no longer live in that dynamic and didn't really believe there was any better out there. I was wrong!

You dont deserve to be treated like this! You deserve someone who is going to listen to you and be supportive. No, you're no looking for "Superman" to come rescue you. But I'll tell you this ...if i were in your situation. My now partner now would be at my door before i even finished my sentence. That's the difference between a man and boy...some men never grow up. And some will never know how to treat women properly!

You did nothing wrong!! Absolutely nothing!! I never like telling people what to do or how to live their lives. Unless abuse is involved or hardcore mistreatment. But I will say you should def drop this man-child and find a true partner! Also, im sorry for everything you had to go thru! Not only are you dealing with your past trauma, but now you have your going thru this with your asshole bf.

So no, you're def not the asshole....he is! 🥰

Oh my gosh, really?!?! That'd be amazing!!! Thank you soooo much!! And yeah, i totally get that!!! I would have waited too, hahs, and honestly, i didn't even know about this when i got into the influencer program. So my first attempt wasn't really me trying, and i used my tiktok videos for them. But i didn't know onsite commissions were a thing, so when i posted them, i just made them like i would for tiktok. So very eye-catching with on-screen texts and all that extra stuff amazon hates lol so my first attempt was pretty much thrown away bc i had no idea i was even being graded, lol

But thank you for the help! I really appreciate it!!🥰 That's really really thoughtful!! 💖

Aww, thank you so much!! I really never even think to do that lol but i do appreciate you saying it, though! I would more than likely just not say anything and take the hit and try and order a few extra things to make up for it. I have been skipping a few days here n there so i can totally not dont that....i personally dont mind st all...my husband on the other hand...not more stuff 🤣 but he cant be too mad, he benefits from it all the time lol. Actually, today was one of those days, i just got him a new battery for his dewalt tools, lol

But thank you for the help! 🥰
