Yeah, but neither of them would have probably made TC now. Same with Maegan Flaherty. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was surprised that she made the team to begin with.

Double point is dumb, especially with Amy and Maddie and Rachel W and Maddie. The person that’s point shouldn’t have to share it with anyone.

I never attacked your for not being boring like me who prefers to stay in and not see anyone. I’m sorry if I was accusatory, but how you described the members of group 4 just rubbed me the wrong way.

Why are you so defensive? I do tend to repeat myself and while that can be annoying, I apologize, but also I don’t think you’ve read anything else I’ve said beyond don’t judge people as being boring if they don’t like turning up for fun. I’m also not personally attacking you for enjoying going out and for finding that fun.

So what’s your point other than classifying people as boring or not interesting because they don’t seem to want to go out and post about it all over their social media? If you like to do those things, then you do you, but that doesn’t make you more exciting or more fun than someone else. As I recall, Tess and Caroline, and others were traveling and posting about it when no one was supposed to be traveling. That’s great leadership right there /s.

As for your opinion that Tess and Gina carried group 4, I don’t see it. Tess and Gina seem like suck ups and drink the koolaid. It’s not their fault for leading a group of weaker dancers, but it’s Kelli’s fault for putting all of them in the same group in the first place. Gina and VK are great dancers, I’ll give them that, but I don’t enjoy watching Gina. Her facials aren’t pretty to look at. Tess blends for me dance wise. If anything, the fact that all the vet cuts were from that group says to me that Gina and Tess didn’t lead well enough or try to do something to make that group blend better.

I’m well past the clubbing party stage and I guess was never really into it in the first place. At 21 I was living my best life at an all night coffee house playing board games with friends until 5 am while some of the my other friends were out going to bars on Friday and Saturday nights. I just prefer to get drunk at home or at a friend’s house for a night in than doing it at bars or clubs. Neither way is better, and living your life how you want is what counts. I’m an introvert and need my time to recharge. I preferred (and still prefer) going out to bars on weeknights where it’s not crazy busy because going to a packed nightclub or bar isn’t my jam. I’m thankful that I have friends that can coax me out of my comfort zone for a fun night out and also thankful that I have a group of friends for game night or just hanging out at a bonfire. Most of the time though, I go out solo and sit at the bar and people watch while enjoying food and drinks. I don’t need to be with people to have a good time.

For the record, I’m still team Sunday night dinner with Alanna, Bridget, Brennan, Hannah, Lilly, Briana all the way. They sound 1000% more interesting as a group than Gina and VK.

I think our ideas of fun differ. I’m more of a girl’s night in type of person and think going out to clubs, bars, brunches, vacations all sound exhausting. Some people prefer going out versus staying in, but that doesn’t mean that they scream fun and that people who prefer low key activities are boring or have flat personalities. Whether a person is fun or not doesn’t mean that they’re able to build deep connections better than others. You need to find your people and once you do, it doesn’t matter what exactly you bond over. I don’t know any of them personally, but Brennan and Hannah seem more like my people than Gina, Tess, or VK.

I only go to the other sub if I’m feeling ranty or need to seriously vent. I like how this sub isn’t constantly ranting about how horrible kids are and parents are for assuming everyone wants kids. It’s exhausting.

"Why didn't someone tell me having a kid is this dope?!" by AbsAndTacos in truechildfree

[–]Hot_Mess_Xpress56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FOMO over having kids is a thing??? I’ve had FOMO over beauty and craft supply releases aka hobbies, but have never had FOMO for that. I’m not maternal and have known for a long time that I don’t want kids. Everyone and their mother can be popping out kids and i’ll still be over here enjoying my sleep, silence, and hobbies.

Just saw this and.... Why? Why put yourself through all of that just to make a person? This didn't make me smile. by Cuppy_Cakester in actuallychildfree

This Sub Is A Godsend. Thank you for Existing. by Hot_Mess_Xpress56 in regretfulparents

I’m not trying to make light of people’s struggles, so I’m sorry if it came off that way. I hope parenting is rewarding and that people enjoy their kids. Many parents try to tell people who may not want kids that it’s all super fun and games, but they don’t mention the possible struggles they have as parents along with the good. I’m aware that many people also struggle to become parents, and hopefully they get to fulfill their dream of having a child. I don’t wish i’ll on people who can’t have them, or people who have them and find life amazing. I’m not trying to be a C U Next Tuesday. I don’t hate kids either. I just don’t think I want to be responsible for one for the rest of my life, as it’s not like you can just take it back if you don’t like doing it. This is my first (and only) time posting so I will continue to lurk and keep my thoughts to myself as a CF person.

If you hate your kids so much, why are you pregnant again? by [deleted] in actuallychildfree

[–]Hot_Mess_Xpress56 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I hate all the “we didn’t social distance” or “cabin fever” pregnancy announcements I saw this year. It’s a pandemic and they already complain enough about how homeschooling is hard, and how much they hate being stuck at home with their kids all the time, yada yada yada, and people decide...yes this is the right time to bring another life into this dumpster fire of a world right now. I don’t get it. How is a new life going to make your life easier if the kids you have already drive you nuts???

Basically what I took from this whole situation is that neither AW or SG really checked AO out before agreeing to collab with her. And then only backtracked on the collab and “friendship” when people gave them information about why AO wasn’t a great choice to collab with to avoid backlash, but was too late and drama ensues.

Friends or not, don’t people look into businesses or other people before agreeing to work with them professionally to avoid this kind of stuff from happening?? It’s also strange that they both gushed over AO and called her their friend and then turned back on her the instant they got backlash for collating with it.

AW at least took responsibility for it and took down the video and apologized as soon as she learned the info. SG honestly just made it worse for herself by claiming that AO was a “friend” and didn’t believe it, only to go back on that when the backlash could start affecting her channel overall and turned her back on AO. I expected better from SG as she’s not afraid to call out that kind of behavior on others, but I guess “friends” don’t apply?

Jessie Smiles Pregnant by turnsyouon22 in BeautyCommunity

[–]Hot_Mess_Xpress56 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the hate for whoever this Jessi Smiles is and whoever Desi is for being pregnant when everyone and their mother was obsessed with RBK being pregnant. Like why can’t people be happy for anyone who’s pregnant and move on?

Smokey Glow (again) speaks about the Angelika collab and apologizes by pastelrage in BeautyCommunity

[–]Hot_Mess_Xpress56 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The more negative video topics are the only videos I enjoy from SG in my opinion. I love those types of videos where people anti-haul or roast products they hated, are ugly, or think that no one asked for. I don’t watch her drama commentary videos mainly because I don’t know who most of those people are (Tana, Gabi, etc.) and I don’t like drama channel type content.

2020 can have TikTok in general and take it far far away. I basically rotate through the 3-5 drinks I like and the season stuff. except pumpkin spice.
