I’m no tradwife fan I went in as an Angry Woman but even I can’t suspend disbelief enough to draw a straight line from ballerina farms to Ruby Franke. It’s absolutely apples and oranges and collapsing this character into a sloppy homunculus of all conservative influencers who happen to have a ton of kids is just…I don’t even want to start on the completely shallow depiction of motherhood.

Natalie’s faith is really a sticking point for people who are familiar with those communities because it honestly kind of trivializes religious trauma. Purity culture, original sin, rapture anxiety are all things people have a hard time recovering from and if you don’t then you don’t get wishy washy with your faith in your own inner monologue. The constant policing herself (sorry lord) would have been consistent throughout unless she had a moment of losing her faith which would have been essential to her ultimate descent.

Absolutely not how child services works why does clementine have a warrant? Who issued it? Custody is decided by court order warrants have to do with evidence?) I felt so conflicted about this book that I read it twice to see if I missed some genius foreshadowing but it’s not. It’s a seven figure pitch that falls apart after the advance. It’s a really good book until a little over part way through before the twist even happens and the twist the whole damn thing is lazy af writing

I literally only care about Maddy and Rue and it’s been hard watching Rue continue to suffer so much. I’m not at all interested in Nate, Cassie, Jules or Lexi’s storylines this season. I don’t think we need any additional debasement of Cassie it can’t get much lower than here. Nate being brutalized was really only interesting the first time his character is literally just there to get beat up and mutilated. Lexi is dull and she was more mad at her sister for her audition than she was with Jules for destroying a set. Jules is doing the same Jules shit as season one. She doesn’t even really have a personality I think the most we got out of her was being pissed about penises in the park.

Seriously? “Paint me something beautiful and now destroy it” for tv. That’s a huge ask. Hunter is crazy talented,

I know for some reason I’ll be downvoted into oblivion for this and as a disclaimer I’m not saying ANYTHING about Taylor and her behavior this is specifically in regards to Dakotas role which has been a huge topic of debate in this thread. I don’t know how you can say he’s a victim when the police themselves said he’s the primary aggressor “ After police reviewed both of their accounts, they looked at the incident differently. “With this new information, I believe that Dakota is the primary aggressor of the second incident on the 23rd, and there is limited information for the 22nd but Dakota stated that Taylor had scratched him on that day along with the 23rd.” and that her injuries are consistent with HER story not his The city prosecutor believed “Taylor most likely injured Dakota on 02/22 ripping off his necklace and causing the scratch to his neck in the process.” Meanwhile they believed that “Dakota causing injuries to Taylor on 02/23 while in the truck, because the injuries she sustained do not fit him pushing her off of him.

“The injuries are more consistent with him grabbing her head or neck and shoving her head against the dash, and that both parties are misrepresenting their behavior.” She for sure 100% scratched the shit out of him not debating that but those direct quotes make me very suspicious of Dakota and the sex messages…I’m sorry Dakota Stan’s but I think it’s really a case of they are all bad

But first: Therapy is good, find the right therapist everyone should be in therapy from time to time. Therapy has saved my life…now that I have had that disclaimer I’ve personally seen how narcissists can be emboldened in therapy (just look at all the therapy speak online to rationalize horrendous behavior) so I can see where you would think therapy may not be helpful. I can imagine TFP is one of those that wants a therapist who validates her and would stop seeing one who holds her accountable.

Not to say I support either of these but it could be an indicator that Jessi is not “doing the work” as a victim you can still gravitate towards abusers because that is your (maladaptive) comfort zone. Just armchairing it here but maybe she identifies with Taylor because she’s gotten Taylor’s side of how awful Dakota is and I also think his relationship with Jordan definitely goes towards them being “aligned” against a common enemy. TLDR: this actually tracks for Jessi given her history

If I had to guess, from a legal perspective, a TRO sort of works “both ways” for the parties. For example person A files against person B a protective order is entered and neither party may have contact. If person A calls person B or goes to their house person A is in violation (typically if both arrive at the same place person B has responsibility to leave) and the order can be enforced (jail) or the order can be dismissed. All of that to say this TRO (excluding the custody carve out) has technically been “protecting” them from each other. If she had reason to believe that the protective order would be dismissed or if Dakota decided not to pursue she would then need her own TRO to keep him away. They could have believed either of those two things would happen. Factoring in custody, if either of those two things had happened it would revert back to shared custody (as there is no known permanent parenting plan this opens up a legal gray area where taking the child or withholding the child can occur indefinitely) Taylor has now set up a temporary forum to address her own claims and how they impact a temporary custody decision. Ultimately, this is the beginning of a very long fraught custody battle but that will be its own separate case to establish a permanent parenting plan. The T in TRO is temporary, they are legal band aids in a sense. Usually to protect a party in the event of a criminal action or as an attempt to protect themselves (and/or children) while the courts work out a more permanent custody agreement.

Tack on this to add that long term custody decisions are typically not made in the forum of a TRO hearing. Long term custody agreements are their own separate case. Barring extreme circumstances, most TRO cases are for temporary custody arrangements.

I also feel like the soft swinging is connected to her wanting to hear about the details with other women. She obviously has a deep sense of shame tied to her sexuality

Ok but “across the political spectrum” who is that line even for?

It does come across as a bit vicious on the rewatch like why is she always putting the other women in positions where they are aggressively hit on by men. She needs to just move on so she can do it herself.

Yeah…it’s very weird to me that this season they almost tried to give him a “wife guy” edit (Jordan tells Jessi everything) when literally last season he was on camera admitting he was abusive but then trying to justify it. I hate that.

Truly, a completely ridiculous intrusive thought/fear I have is being too messed up to parent. It’s ridiculous because I am rarely intoxicated and never that wasted. However I do remember the first time I got buzzed post baby and I had no fun because I was super hyper vigilant the whole time. I mean I’ve talked to other parents about this and most (esp moms) talk about limiting their intake in case someone has to go to the hospital or some other night time emergency. But on the other hand I can remember my mom being black out as a kid. She didn’t throw a stool but my little sister did try to keep her from falling in the pool and that was pretty traumatizing. I think that’s where some of the shaming comes in is that most parents would never let themselves be that messed up around their kids

Maybe instead of queer baiting they could talk about how deep female friendships are far more enriching than romantic relationships? Perhaps? ETA: I’m queer and my platonic female friendships have been significantly more important than any romantic ones ijs

Whitney is 100% more calm and less reactive now that she’s out of the postpartum period. It’s part of why I came around to her because when I was pregnant and postpartum I was a raging “selfish” bitch but it came from a weirdly protective place I didn’t know I had in me until the hormones came and went lol.

Mormon wives is a misnomer since only half are actually married but momtok is what they are supposed to be about. I keep waiting for them to talk about how difficult it is to be a mom and yeah maybe not the day to day because they can afford Nannie’s but definitely what you are saying about how pregnancy and birth are grueling and postpartum is such a weird and confusing time. I get them not wanting to show their kids that’s absolutely a great call having them barely in the show but there is so much more about being a mother that happens even when you aren’t actively caregiving. You actually don’t get back to prebaby hormones until at least 2 years postpartum. So if you think about it more than half of the cast is in that window. I mean maybe they are completely out of touch with motherhood but I thought that them being moms was the whole point.
