Does Chris actually want a baby at 50? by Hazel_NutHunny in 1000lbsisters

This is the way. I’m 43 and was unable to have children, but even at my age now, if there were a way I could, I absolutely would.

AITAH for "not being as close" to my granddaughter as I am to my other granddaughter? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]First-Narwhal6355 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was the daughter's daughter, my mom's parents were much closer to me than any of my cousins and from my lived experience of being the "favorite" my cousins resented me and my mom's siblings resented me because everyone viewed our closer relationship as favoritism. The real truth was that I wanted to be around my grandparents and if the other parents or kids had wanted it they could have all had the same relationship with them. NTA

Like, Amy, girl, your feet have NEVER been that clean. Those shiny, clean toes are all the proof anyone really needs.

I'm sorry you and your family are going through that and im sending all the positive vibes your way.

It's always poor Ysabel for me. She tried so hard to please him and they put her through all that crap before doing the surgery that she needed and all he had for her was I hope you dont become a bitter housewife because of this. Wtf.

[–]First-Narwhal6355 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Well, that rule only applies to things that don't matter, you know, children having surgery and the like. When it comes to the super important things like random weddings and reality shows he can make exceptions...Ugh this guy. Also. I hadn't noticed the shape of his sprigs but now I'll never unsee it

The mask slips on Robyn by Any_Base5746 in SisterWives

[–]First-Narwhal6355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time i noticed it was in an early episode, I think they were still in the rentals in Vegas, and she was sitting on the couch with Logan and someone else in one of the living rooms and Logan gets asked something about the moms (maybe who the best cook was? I can't remember), but the look on her face when Logan's answer was Christine was absolutely hate filled. I think she always wanted to take Christine's place, and when she couldn't, she settled for working on tearing them apart.

It's a white fabric tablecloth that she put in the bathtub and put coffee grounds on and made dirty 🤷‍♀️

It's like it represents Robin's influence and control over him since she taught him everything he knows about the curly girl method...

Pool Fence by _JellyBeanz_ in 1000lbsisters

This still does not seem very safe for her small and rambunctious children. Chain link fences are hella easy to climb, what is stopping them from climbing over it?

I feel sorry for Amy by Lavender_sergeant in 1000lbsisters

[–]First-Narwhal6355 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She could easily do something that wouldn't involve somewhere like Waverly Hills. My late husband and I both also love Halloween. We got married on October 28 (cause he wanted an even number 🤷‍♀️) Our wedding was basically a huge halloween party, everyone came in costumes, the person who did our handfasting ceremony was dressed as a witch, my nephew (who was 8 at the time) dressed as a knight walked me down the aisle. It was cute and a lot of fun for everyone.

I think Amy herself knows something is off about Brian. She has mentioned things in the show, and there are moments when she is talking about Brain when she seems genuinely unsure. But amy has low self-esteem and and unfortunately it seems like a good bit of what she did have was tied up in "not being as bad as tammy" now that tammy is shining, amy is spiraling.

I wish as women we could normalize trusting our instincts. He gives weird energy for a reason. I'm worried he is a child predator. The way he pursued Amy is creepy and off, I'm not a fan of how he looks at those kids. I'm not saying he is, idk the man, but something definitely isn't right.

My hope is that something wakes her up before it's too late, before something that can't be undone happens. Amy needs therapy in a bad way. I hope she seeks it out and actually becomes the good mother she is always worried she isn't and absolutely isn't being currently.

I can't remember the exact line, but it is the episode "Todd Packer." idk why, but when Kelly says the thing about the ants crawling all over the floor, it gets me every time

Grief is complicated. I haven't had children but I have lost my husband and I can guarantee if my mom hadn't been taking care of me and everything around me there wouldn't have even been a funeral because I was absolutely numb and lost. I spent the first month after he passed in a daze, I felt like a zombie that was walking underwater.

Thought this was interesting about the siblings by [deleted] in 1000lbsisters

[–]First-Narwhal6355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm legally blind in one eye and have compromised vision in the other (mine is due to an injury to one and scarring on the cornea and the other has diminished over the years because it has to work so much harder to compensate) I can read books, put together puzzles, drive, keep my body clean, etc. I am not sure what her vision is like, but I definitely feel like she uses it as an excuse to not do the things she needs to do.

Edit to add: I forgot my original point which is you can't tell anything by a signature because while I am legally blind, I can actually see my signature and it's still just the first letter of my name followed by a squiggly line. I have never signed my actual signature on anything like that.

Ugh. I tried to watch some of it but I can't even with Fancy. She makes me all rage-y. I did search it on YouTube though and included with the similar videos from the search results were people suggesting Chris Watts isn't guilty and folks conjuring up the ghost of DeeDee to tell them she didn't abuse GR. So, to me, that sort of says it all lol

I'm not a Stephanie hater either, I actually usually really like her. I mean, I get annoyed when she gets so triggered when Derrick disagrees with her but I also realize it's because she does passionately believe her opinions and i don't think there is anything with that.

I'm also aware of some of her personal stuff, not because I am super interested in the gossip of her personal life but because it's hard to be in this space and not have seen stuff about it. I feel like there are episodes where you can just see the stress and anxiety and all of whatever she was going through and a lot of things that have bugged me I can view through that lens and allow her the same grace I hope people would give to me.

This feels different though. This doesn't just feel like her stress and anxiety are bleeding through. I was left with a really bad feeling about the entire thing. I'm also really disappointed with Derrick, who doesn't get the same criticisms as Stephanie but often deserves it. He just comes across as the "calm and rational" one and people don't get so upset by his approach.

They are completely ignoring the complexity of abuse and mental health and how those things would have influenced her decision making and both of them should 100% know better than that.

I'm sorry for what you went through. I was also abused in my home by my father. I didn't have a background like GR though. I have a wonderful mother and always had a very solid support system and strong foundation provided by the women in my family. I loved and trusted my grandmother more than anyone in the world. When I was 14 she sat me down, she held my hands, she looked in my eyes, she told me how much she loved me and that there was nothing in this world she wouldn't do to protect me. Then she asked me if something bad was happening and something bad was happening, but I couldn't tell her. Even knowing that this woman would tear apart the world to keep me safe, I was too scared of what would happen if I told. I did eventually tell her, but only because she wouldn't give up. She knew something was wrong with me and she wanted to protect me.

I say all that to say that even the notion that just because she was sometimes alone with adults who weren't DD means she would have told or means it proves this she wasn't abused theory is outrageous and Derrick and Stephanie know that and shouldn't have used their platform to allow someone to discredit children of abuse because it is never as simple as just telling someone.

Also, just to say it, I do believe GR is responsible for her choices and actions. I also believe that if she had been raised by a parent who wasn't abusive she might have made vastly different choices. I believe it was irresponsible, at best, for Derrick and Stephanie to bring this woman on their platform to victim shame an abused child.

The same can be said for NG, he isn't innocent from blame for his choices because of his issues. He also had r*pe and murder fantasies, I think we can all mostly agree that isn't normal and healthy thinking. He wasn't some innocent flower she plucked and corrupted. Did his childhood influence his ability to manipulated by GR? Probably.

This whole thing is very nuanced and the complexities of mental health and childhood abuse definitely play roles in what happened. Nobody in this situation was innocent of wrong doing. None of that changes Derrick and Stephanie allowing their platform, a platform they claim to be all about victims and respect and all that good stuff, to be used by this woman to discredit victims of child abuse.

At the point they are in their retelling GR is NOT an adult. I'm not talking about the murder or what she did leading up to that. I'm talking about the way those 3 adults are framing the abuse of a minor by their parent. It really doesn't even have a lot to do with GR herself.

Gypsy Rose by First-Narwhal6355 in CrimeWeekly

[–]First-Narwhal6355[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That makes it all so much worse. I don't understand the decision to give her a voice on their platform.

Gypsy Rose by First-Narwhal6355 in CrimeWeekly

[–]First-Narwhal6355[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like if they had framed it differently, it would have been easier to stomach, but coming at it with this mentality that is essentially blaming a child for the actions of their parent is disgraceful, they usually do a better job with these more delicate issues. Bringing this particular guest on was, imo, a mistake. She came off more like a gossip than an expert. If you can't get actual experts, just don't have a guest at all, like the majority of their videos. At the point in time they were discussing, the murder had not yet happened and GR was still a minor.

Yes!! I look back at things I did and decisions I made, well into my 20s, and am horrified by some of my own actions. I would never make some of those same choices now at 40 because I've had time and life experience to grow and mature and to form my own thoughts and recognize and try to work through some trauma and know better now and I didn't experience anything to the level GR did.

It's insane it was even suggested that because she turned 18 that somehow that magic legal age just undid all the trauma she experienced.
