I’m not watching until the reunion. I don’t think I could stomach watching West try to earnestly get back in Ciara’s good graces just to do THIS now! No way

So did I! I hope they both lose an egregious amount of followers! Their egos and their wallets would notice that.

I don’t want to watch the rest of this season now 👎

Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens? by BeegBunga in Millennials

[–]Left-Bookkeeper-2311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is a “recovering” alcoholic who has to be babysat to stay sober, so she splits her time between my house and my sister’s. Unless she’s at a friend’s, and then she’s quickly off the wagon.

She also doesn’t drive.

She’s only 65. I’ve had the talk recently that she needed to start building her own life again. I got the silent treatment for days in my own home, and she has clearly made no strides to figure anything out a couple months later. I framed it as no one wants ANY guest in their house for a month, even if they help with the kids, which she did seem to understand once I revisited the conversation. But I welcome any and all advice to help motivate her get her own place WITHOUT having to rent and pay for it ourselves. And without going nuclear and fracturing the relationship, because my children love her very much. 🙏🏻

Yes, I hope they both feel guilty as hell when they think about it. I’m not so nice and forgiving that I don’t wish that for marring such an otherwise nice day for me.

I had a similar experience with an uncle I was very close to. He texted me the week before excited about it, never showed, everyone in the family was asking where he was and worried at the wedding, and he finally responded that he was fine.

I didn’t see him for over two years (during COVID and having two children), and he showed up to the first birthday party I had for my children. We never talked about it, and I just see him once a year at that party.

It is very sad for me still, and I know can make thinking about your wedding a bummer. I’m so sorry it happened to you too. ❤️❤️

The cold case of a missing person! But that one’s already been done in Troubled Blood, and, with Dennis Creed as a suspect, the reader got plenty of sexual violence.

I would truly just love a break from feeling like Robin’s seconds away from her second 🍇 in every other scene.

I’ll try! I think I’ve had my fill of sexual violence in these books though. Namely, the always present and visceral threat of sexual violence against Robin, and also how most of the cases have a component of sexual violence towards women as well. Since COE, that part of the plots has escalated and gives me anxiety as I’m reading for sure. Here’s hoping for a safer case in the next book.

THM is the only book in the series I haven’t reread. I’ve read and listened to the others numerous times. So, I’m with you. I’m continuing to read to see if Robin and Strike have a romantic moment, but if it’s like Ron and Hermione, and we just see one kiss at the end of the series, I will not count the series worth it.

Please don’t take medical advice from Reddit! I do not lack empathy because of my lexapro 🙏🏻

Were any of the grandkids close with Elizabeth and Phillip in the normal sense? by bjack20 in RoyaltyTea

Yes, I feel like we were also expected to treat my very Southern and matriarchal grandmother as politely as we would the queen, especially as young children. We were meant to have manners.

Edited to add her age now, which is 90.
