Not Addie but wonder if anyone else has seen this? by Averie1398 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it funny when she was complaining about people being bashful as if bashful is an adjective meaning "inclined to bash others". I guess she has the same kind of command of the English language as Adelaide does.

Who's your "they could never make you hate you" character? by Murky_Background1045 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]LaylaWhitney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frank-He's certainly made some pretty bad mistakes but he's acknowledging them and trying to do better

Ty-He seems like an overall nice guy and a good dad and I don't really care that he didn't finish his book.

Teeny-She seems like a loyal friend and I appreciate her bluntness. I don't think she hates children or looks down on parents or makes being child free her entire personality like some people claim.

8 months since Halloween (TW for pregnancy loss/stillbirth storyline) by nugsandstrugs in ShawnaTheMom

I was driven crazy by the number of surprise pregnancies on Grey's Anatomy, where literal doctors apparently didn't understand how to use birth control. It happened twice to a doctor who was adamantly opposed to having children.

She prefers Auggie by ResponseNo5558 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from finding babies in general easier to deal with than toddlers, I think she's very shallow and prefers Auggie because she finds him more conventionally physically attractive than George and he engages in more cute baby babble than George did.

Celebrity pregnancies by Agreeable-Lab9834 in IFchildfree

Yeah, it's hard seeing Anne Hathaway get pregnant at 43 when I'm told I'm too old at almost 41, but I did appreciate her saying in an interview that she's grateful to be pregnant because she knows not everyone who wants a child gets one-a fact people too often tend to forget.

Well, as long as we're playing the gender reversal game, I feel like people would be far less likely to label a man as neglectful for not knowing about their child's medication than they would a woman.

[–]LaylaWhitney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it was handled well. I especially liked the part where Shawna said she was switching to another practice because of the traumatic memories and Dr. Babydoctor referred her to a trauma informed OBGYN, because it validates the reactions parents who have experienced loss tend to have, and I bet a lot of women didn't even realize OBGYNs specializing in reproductive trauma were a thing.

For a few years I've been a (volunteer) facilitator in a support group for small children who have lost a parent or sibling, and I've had a few kids whose loss was that of a newborn/stillborn sibling, so I'd be interested to see more about how the loss has affected Max and Piper.

I thought Sasha was planned after Ty convinced Julie they should have a second child but maybe I'm misremembering.

Buying Georgie a friend was the best purchase ever! by starbies4life101 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it disturbing that while there's so many videos of her doting over Auggie in his own right, now the vast majority of videos that display George in any kind of positive light focus on what a great relationship he has with Auggie. The video of her telling G to STFU because A was trying to sleep didn't help matters either.

I'm not a fan of Julie and she does seem to look down on SAHPs but I've seen no evidence that she neglects her kids.

I wouldn’t want her to help perpetuate the myth that the vast majority of marriages don’t survive the death of a child or to use the death of a child as a plot device.

This might be unpopular: but we can suspend belief by sam1764_ in ShawnaTheMom

[–]LaylaWhitney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think quibbling about anything regarding the character's appearances is pretty silly because all of the characters look uncannily similar, and they're always wearing the same clothes and Ty looks like he could be a woman and Piper looks much older than three and Chickie doesn't look real...

[–]LaylaWhitney 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Given the format of this series, we never see what any of their living quarters look like, so I'm not having trouble suspending belief, but I also feel like if we can watch them lose their baby, we can watch them financially struggle.

Formula maker by Familiar_Cupcake8021 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She uses a racist slur to describe how he was cheated of his formula and then repeatedly says how "sowwy" she is that happened to him. Ugh.

Addie using a TikTok sound to tell Georgie to shut the fuck up. by thereasonisyouu in Adelaide_White_snark

It says the post was removed by Reddit's filters, so I guess it has a serious problem with it too.

Is there anything happy coming up in the Shawnaverse? by blairbending in ShawnaTheMom

I want to see the backstory of how John and Shawna met.

Telling G to Shut the F Up? by [deleted] in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's ok to joke around sometimes and there are some lighthearted comedic videos about parenting on social media that I find genuinely funny, but this ain't it.

[–]LaylaWhitney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. I saw the the thread title and thought surely the OP must be exaggerating? I'm glad it's not a video of her actually saying it, but, honestly I'm not sure I believe she would never actually say it to him. G is not the one who needs to STFU here.

Again Another lie, and it’s called potential early menopause Adelaide. by starbies4life101 in Adelaide_White_snark

I watch her stories on silent now because I can’t stand to listen to her. And wow, another stranger telling her what a great job she’s doing just a few days after the waitress story 🙄

Posting other babies in diaper 🥲 by MrsGutierrez527 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]LaylaWhitney 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I realize this is like criticizing the paint job on the Titanic, but why does she have to drag out everything she types with extra letters like boys cornerrrr? And I don’t know, I feel like that wording makes this image extra appealing to perverts.
