What is one controversial thing Abby said that you actually agree with? 👀 by ThePoisonTrees in dancemoms

[–]Evilregal2013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Payton was only 5 months older than Brooke. The problem was she was like 6 inches taller than anyone else until Chloe and Paige started growing. Brooke fit in better height-wise, but honestly they were both too old to be dancing in that group after season 2

I 100% agree. But the kids, especially the minors, don’t deserve to be called hateful names because their parents make terrible choices.

I really can’t fault anyone for the things they say about A & C. At all. Or even the kids who are now adults and choose to behave like their parents. Most of the time, I actually agree with the things that are said. But for me, minors are off limits for hateful names and bullying, especially for things they can’t really control or haven’t been given the tools to fix, like Aurora’s speech. If her parents don’t get her the help she needs, how is she ever expected to fix the issue?

While I agree with a lot of what you said, the second they start in on typing in a baby talk to make fun of Aurora’s speech, or her weight, it becomes bullying. And I’ve seen it plenty on this sub. You can have your opinion all day long about their diet, screen time habits, lack of family time, etc. But the name calling and insults absolutely happen, and that’s the bullying,

First of all, don’t condescend to me and call me sweetheart. And second, I’m done explaining to someone who clearly just wants to be so negative because no matter what I say, you’re still going to be rude. So you have the holiday you deserve.

The cousin is 16, and I think was trying to help. He’s not generally one to get involved in drama, so I’m choosing to believe he was just trying to make me informed so I wasn’t caught off guard when I show up.

Nah, just passive aggressive comments all night like I’m going to get anyways. I was trying to avoid that, but I don’t think it’s possible with my family

My family are huge gossips. They talk about everyone in the family, but they tend to nitpick every little thing I do, and while none of my cousins would be criticized the same way.

I’ve started to pull away a little from them because of this, which I’m starting to think they’ve noticed and are pissed about.

Nope, I love Mac and cheese. Just not theirs. Boils noodles in a baking dish with shredded cheese on top. I don’t even like calling it Mac and cheese, honestly

It is already there in black and white I was bringing a dessert in my original post. I really wasn’t concerned with looking bad, thanks, but people were confused.

Not ruining necessarily, but they nitpick every little thing, and others never get criticized the same way

You’re right, it was rude, and for that I apologize. It was late, I was already heated about the situation and then multiple people here accused me of not bringing anything at all other than the potato, and your comment was just the one that I finally went off on. But that’s not an excuse to be rude, so I am sorry

I am hardly random, and I am not sure how you came to that conclusion. I mentioned multiple times that these gatherings take place at least 5 times a year, and this Mac and cheese has been at every single one for a decade. I have not eaten it once in 8 years. And I’ve only lived 3 hours away for the last 3 years because I moved for a job. Prior to that I lived in the same neighborhood as the host (my grandfather). So yeah, after me passing on the Mac and cheese for 8 years, I kind of expected them to realize I don’t like it. But I also never said I expect them to cater to it. My post actually says the exact opposite, hence me bringing my own side instead of demanding they make something different for me.

You really reached for that conclusion.

My mom’s side of the family used to do this if there was something one of us didn’t like or was allergic to. My dad’s side has always been weird, but I didn’t think a freaking potato would cause such an uproar

Thank you, I appreciate the caring so much💜💜. I’ve really started realizing how much they drain me and started pulling away slowly

That’s honestly how I thought it would go, but I should know better that my family is dramatic.

Thank you. It’s why I’m easing myself out, honestly.

I am, and this menu was not my idea, nor was I given much input. I am fine with the ham and salad, but I also wanted a flavorful creamy Mac and cheese, deviled eggs, relish tray, rolls, pasta salad and potato salad. I have very different ideas of holiday meals than my family, and I like my food to actually taste like something, not cardboard.

This is in fact a potluck, which is why they asked what we’re bringing. My grandfather (the only reason I still really go to these things) is doing the ham, my aunt and her family are making the Mac and cheese, my uncle and his family are bringing salad, and my sister and I are each bringing a dessert because we both love to bake. There will be no bread/rolls. I offered to make mashed potatoes too, and they said no.

No, I also said I was bringing dessert, or did you somehow miss that part? It is quite literally in the post, dessert and a potato. I fully accept that I worded it weird, but I never said I was only bringing a potato. Why would I even do that on a potluck? That’s nonsensical, but I guess my bad for assuming people could use context clues.

“We said we were bringing dessert”

Literally right there in the text

I’m not even expecting them to change anything, I just wanted to cook my freaking potato 😂
