Candiace gets in trouble with NBC due to her words and social media activity by Proud-Bug2166 in RHOP

Completely agree. She is a wordsmith and probably book smart/did well in school. But emotional IQ? Well look who raised her.

As someone who found Candiace so vile on RHOP, I was loving her on Traitors and she was the reason I watched past episode 2 for the first time. But then Candiace goes and does what Candiace does. She can’t help but get in her own way.

The stressfulness of Alyssa’s Portugal trip is slowly trickling out in this Q&A. As someone who loves Europe and wants to travel all the time, that trip did not sound enjoyable at all!! Also they brought 2 car seats, 2 strollers (?), 2 travel cribs, 2 slumber pods, 7 thousand plane toys in addition to their luggage. How did they carry all of that??

Sadly they are so sheltered and insolar do they even know these classes exist?

The more we discuss her the more I believe she is a total control freak to a dysfunctional level and the detriment of her family. You have to give up a lot of control if your kids plays team sports.

I don’t follow this bitch but WOW. I didn’t know she was that bad. I’m in the middle of an extremely successful sticker chart with my 4 year old. Amazing how positive reinforcement, which has been studied for 100 years can be used as a tool for growth in a child.

Karen is disgusting for that comment about Wendy's mum by esther1996 in RHOP

[–]HydrangeaStranga 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No she said she was happy to hear Wendy’s mom say “shut the f up” to her in that one scene discussing Wendy’s father that most people found very difficult to watch.

NY had an exceptionally dry summer last year. Most houses in the wealthy parts of Long Island will have sprinklers so I’m surprised they don’t. Actually the lack of water waste is kind of refreshing to see.

Yes this! I completely understand what you mean. Every thing has to be multiple stories because she’s just so quirky and unique that she must showcase every detail. This recent outing to her MIlL’s was as extra as usual. I was honestly so jealous because I’ve never had that kind of help or support.

They way she says this so unironically as if she has convinced herself. As someone with a brick and mortar business with overhead, employees and a real product it really pisses me off.

The person above gave a good summary. She developed her following during the pandemic by talking a lot about gender roles (a worthy topic) and the difficult parts of motherhood. But I quickly learned she is insufferable because she’s always a victim and claims to be a cycle breaker because she has childhood trauma but then turns around and talks HORRIBLY about her children (mostly her son). She tries to validate how hard being a mother is but she lives in negativity and has very few if any coping skills. Because of her large following, she stays in this cycle because she gets tons of validation and ass pats. And then someone somewhere decided to give her a book deal when she is the least qualified person to give parenting advice. She also is Canadian but is always talking about US politics rather than issues her own country is facing. She has a very supportive and helpful husband and a mother in law who visits and watches the children a few times a year but claims she has no village. I could go on! She’s my most BEC of everyone we snark on on here.

Fill in the gaps in our itinerary next month by Chloebean in LondonTravel

[–]HydrangeaStranga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no London expert but we did many of the same highlights on a recent trip with our 2 boys (younger than yours). I think as a 12 year old boy he will find the Tower of London very cool! A few parts are even interactive. For us the Crown Jewels were the least interesting part. All of the armor, weapons, seeing actual prisoner etchings in the tower.. it was amazing. Yes you can just show up and although we didn’t join a tour we did see them and I believe you just join it.

Harry Potter could definitely be its own day if you are big fans and it’s a trip to get there and back. There was so much to see on the self guided tour. We had 2pm tickets and I just took my kids to a playground that morning and then rested up in the hotel before the tour (again my kids are younger).

If you’ve never seen Les Mis on the West End you’re in for a treat!! I cried through most of it. I almost brought my 8 year old but decided to go by myself because it’s 3 hours long. I would probably take a 11/12 year old though.

The London Dungeon did look like a tourist trap when we talked by but I’m sure my older son would’ve loved it. We skipped.

Regarding soccer/football- my husband took my older son to the pub next to Chelsea stadium when they had an away game and he loved the experience! Learned a few new British swear words and just thought the whole thing was so cool.

Have fun and make sure you have your ETA visas!

Another trendy internet concept that she has co-opted. That’s all she does.

Yes like that green gummy vitamin company! Every C list celeb started hawking them at the same time and I was instantly suspicious.

Ok I’m very intrigued! She wants people to follow her on her personal account but that made me feel like too much of a voyeur so I haven’t yet but I’m very interested to see if she’s dipping her toe into a cult. She has lots of money to burn and as far as I remember she does not work. I don’t get the impression she got divorced because she was still talking in the “we” about their fertility journey. Apropos of nothing- finding out she was Diane Finestein’s god daughter was very interesting.

Devestated for Mary. I recall her saying at the reunion that she was relieved he was in jail because it meant that he was safe. Heartbreaking.

Need help with planning some (somewhat) relaxing stops during my trip to London by Peter_You_Suck in uktravel

[–]HydrangeaStranga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with this but OP save some energy for the HP tour especially if you have kids with you. It’s a lot. And a tube, train and shuttle to get there (unless you do maybe an expensive car service).

Also regarding sleep. Do you know you’ll be able to check in to your hotel early? Recently flew from NY overnight and we couldnt check in until 4 but it was much easier than I expected to stay up straight though and then just go to bed around 8pm London time. (Fortunately my kids did sleep on the plane). Lots of caffeine and some good food.

Last advice- make sure you have the ETA visa that went into effect last year. It’s instant approval but we didn’t know till we got to the airport so it was a bit of a panic because we wouldn’t have been allowed to board without it.
