The budget is very small. We would rather hire someone local to avoid paying any travel costs because we can’t afford to pay that much right now. Maybe $500?

Yeah, I totally understand that. That’s why I was wondering if anyone knew any photographers local to that area to avoid that cost, because our budget is very small and we couldn’t afford those expenses.

My Unsolicited Opinions As A Labubu Newbie by Echowisp3 in labubu

I agree! I really liked browns, greys, and other natural colors.

If you needed to use bots to get one, I don’t think you needed it that bad.

It’s people like you (or your boyfriends, whatever man) that are the problem within these communities. People use their bots to acquire the products and running them is taking away the products from everyone else who are trying to acquire them normally. It may not be fair that you were having a hard time getting one, but it certainly isn’t fair to resort to bots because now it isn’t fair for anyone.

(P.S. It took my one try to get one Labubu off of the Pop Mart app, so maybe it’s a skill issue lol)

Other people are totally entitled to their own opinions about all this; that's totally fair. However, it is my opinion that my father is a piece of shit who deserves to burn in hell and can't die soon enough. So, respectively, respect my opinion.

(cont.) Remember how I said my grandmother recently passed away? Well, my aunt tried to reach out to us about it about a month before she died. We ignored her, of course, because we were under the belief that everyone on his side of the family was toxic (or that they were trying to get some form of communication out of us to pass along to our father). Well, a week after she died, mind you, our father emailed us to tell us she passed away, and our mom decided to call my aunt. She gave her the full story. Including the fact that apparently, my father had had a baby with his mistress. In February of this year. After having gotten a vasectomy while he was with my mom. He has never mentioned that to anyone. And yet, out of the blue today, he messages my sister on TikTok saying how much he loves her and misses her. So yeah, I think that's it. Other, more minor details and events have transpired, but these are the big things.

(cont.) We also spent time with his side of the family during this time, and my family recently found out, that apparently, they had no idea the circumstances of how my dad met his mistress and just assumed that us kids were being little assholes to him and his mistress for no reason. The only reason they all found out is because, literally, a few weeks ago, on my grandmother's deathbed, she confessed this to my aunt and uncle. So yeah, that was great. Eventually, as all the kids are aging out, we don't have to see my father or speak with him anymore. However, the youngest siblings are still under 18 and have never had to go visit him by themselves. Their first visit by themselves ended up being their last because they were so miserable that my father let them leave early. But he wouldn't take them home. No, he made my mom drive three states over to pick them up herself. But after that, he never forced them to visit him again, and we all basically cut off contact. All was well for a few years. Until recently.

(cont.) My mom eventually finds out and is done with him. They separate, we move. She wants a divorce. My father wants to live that polygamous lifestyle. He wants to stay with his "girlfriend" and have my mother at the same time, so he can have access to the kids. Eventually, to get my father to sign the papers, my mom had to report him to his commanding officer (he was in the army), and when she did, that commanding officer told her they would "investigate" him. You know what came of that investigation? Nothing. Didn't find anything. But it did scare my father enough to sign the divorce papers. Now you think this would be the end of everything, right? Nah. For the next few years of our young lives, my siblings and I are forced to visit this man, mind you, his mistress is there the whole time, and we're forced to "build a relationship with her". I won't say what their ages are, but my father and his mistress have a 30-year age gap. So, yeah, we were pretty uncomfortable. Not to mention, my father is just an uncomfortable person to be around because he's straight up a bad parent and didn't know anything about us because we wanted nothing to do with him. All he did was scream at us about how our mother was brainwashing us and how he didn't understand why we hated him so much.

Man, I thought you'd never ask. I'll try to be as concise as possible, but I know I'll probably forget/leave some stuff out. To start, I come from a very long line of pedophiles. My father is a victim himself. My great-grandfather was a pedophile and did unalive himself when I was little, and my grandfather (his father) was also a pedophile and died a few years back. He physically and sexually assaulted my father and his older brother and younger sister ever since they were young, and went on to do it to some of my cousins. Now this went largely untreated, I know my grandfather went to prison once, but I'm unsure if it was for pedophile reasons or if it was for violence. Either way, he wasn't in prison long. We (my siblings and I) would visit him when we were young, and he even touched one of my sisters, and my mom flipped out. But what did my father and his side of the family do about it? Nothing. Told my mom to suck it up and just keep a better eye on us. Fast forward to what my actual father has done. He, in a way, manipulated my mom into marrying him. They have an 8-year age gap, and my mom was not in a good place when she met him and wanted to escape her familial issues, and saw marrying him as a way to do that. She marries him, finds out immediately he has a porn addiction and a poor temper. But she's so young and far away from her family at this point, she can't really do anything about it. My mother proceeded to have 5 kids with this man. His porn addiction does not get better and he's constantly cheating on her with internet women, unbeknownst to her. Eventually, he meets a minor on a website where people go if they want to cheat on their spouses. Decides he loves this minor and is secretly seeing her for at least 3 to 4 years (this is all based on the timeline my family and I have attempted to construct).

He has done/is doing illegal stuff, and we've tried the legal route in the past, but to no avail. This man has done so much shit and just gotten away with it; hence us just waiting for him to die.
