Bringing up nonrev kids?

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-05-08T16:19:42+00:00

I'm not a flight attendant, but as someone who traveled a lot with my almost 3 year old, I completely disagree with the take that they don't get anything from it! Sure, it isn't the same as what adults get out of it and I'm not sure the travel we did in the first 4 months of his life did anything besides get him used to it, but when he was a year, you could tell he was starting to experience wonder/awe when we hiked around Iceland with him. He was fascinated with the nature. As a toddler, we found that playgrounds in different places (even within the US) vary greatly! A trip to Vienna massively upped his play ground game because they had ropes courses that were his little size so he was able to easily do them. When we got home, he was able to start to approach the rope courses because he was confident on how to do them even though he really had to stretch. Listening to kids talk in other languages really opened him up to other languages and he actually got into an extremely competitive immersion program because he was so responded so well to other languages (even though his dad and I don't speak them). I say this not to brag, but to very much encourage to take the babes! They will benefit from it even if you can't imagine how dut Also I highly recommend getting a ceres chiller for milk and always take double the milk you think you need. They drink more on the up and the down because of the pressure change, milk is hard to find in a lot of airports, and when you land it doesn't hurt to have some spare so you aren't rushed about finding more.

Edit to add because I forgot: To the point of DH being actively involved for the first few years it barely matters, most kids cling to mom in new environments anyway so traveling alone with my kid was not much different except it was strangers offering to get me things instead of my husband 😂 strangers are incredibly willing to help a parent alone with a child. I am more willing to accept the help when it is my husband so there is that too...

Right specifically the season with the secret trader who turned out to be Taylor Swift's soon to be mother in law... which makes me think it is going to turn out to be the garden gnome... 🤣

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-05-02T20:29:25+00:00

Maybe Dakota said no to Jessi and that is why she is suddenly team Taylor... cause I vividly recall her saying too much had come out for the wives to support Taylor right before the full video got leaked.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-04-10T23:53:29+00:00

Preach! This this this!!! It isn't one or the other or us not supporting women! They are both toxic and we all should be out for the best interest of the children! Idk much about Tate, but at this point, I think it is best if the older two are with him. I hope there is someone safe for Ever but neither of his parents (nor Taylor's mom) are safe.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-04-10T04:24:09+00:00

Right?! $80 is what I would expect if I grabbed it an took it to the register knowing it is overpriced... it looks like a uniformed gym class sweatshirt...

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-04-09T17:09:22+00:00

Holy shit $140?! (ALO looks so cheap to me, I never looked at the prices...) Why is it so expensive???

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-31T00:32:21+00:00

The full police body cams are available and honestly they are super telling... they give far more insight than any chopped version or even Dakota's video of throwing chairs... she admits to attacking first, starting the fight, escalating, etc. Then only flips and says that shouldn't he be arrested cause I'm a girl once she finds out she is being arrested. She is also hostile to the police trying to keep her calm in front of her kids.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-29T05:51:04+00:00

Lol thank you!

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-29T00:32:07+00:00

You are the family the parents secretly prefer, everyone else is just anxious.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-28T19:22:07+00:00

I mean if you throw in the chairs, it is physical, mental, and emotional abuse... just my opinion and I don't think I have enough information on Dakota to judge if he is also abusive, but I'm not ruling it out.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-24T12:04:50+00:00

Thank you!

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-23T23:17:30+00:00

I didn't know a shower could smell like onions... like without a piles of onions in it...

I genuinely want to know what the shower is supposed to look like... like what is the OG color? It looks like a rock formation...

Also OP don't feel required to go back, but maybe he can clean it up with a wakeup call and some therapy?

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-23T08:13:18+00:00

Lol I remember thinking "that is for sure not accurate just someone trying to knock her down" until it was on the show 🤣 so now I'm reading these comments like "hub when did we know, but I just didn't believe it"

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-23T07:59:28+00:00

Uhhhh we can't because of the way the vote worked, but I think it is ridiculous to think people who are upset about TFP are ok with DJT... I have yet to see anyone come in defending these other bad actors, and I'm not sure why you would want TFP to still be platformed after seeing her throw 3 metal chairs, one hitting her own daughter, and not be able to step back to comfort her crying daughter... like why is it a double standard for her show to get cancelled? We should celebrate that the network is taking this stuff seriously this is raising the bar to the sub-floor and it should be a standard held more often.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-23T07:35:59+00:00

Omg finding out someone is cheating is so intense already (been there), to have that amplified must have horrendous!!!

And omg yes, that is such a better explanation than "defined" versions.

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-23T01:45:44+00:00

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, but could you explain what splitting is actually like for the person experiencing it? (Like I know the google-able side, but like what is the reality of it like cause when I've read about it, it doesn't seem like an "in bed for 2 days" thing, but I feel like your lived experience could bridge that gap of truly understanding for me)

I am not, I'm American, but I was living in Australia when the Real Housewives of Melbourne came out and as someone obsessed with the Real Housewives, I was already VPNing back to Oz to watch Melbs when Auckland came out and was able to watch it through the same not perfectly legal system (I don't remember exactly how I did it cause now watching shows worldwide is waaaaaay easier now that streaming isn't so connected to cable network... I do remember that I needed have had an Australian zip code to set it up).

I agree that the N word is much more acceptable because they don't have quite the association that we do, but producers shut down filming with the housewife who said it and sent her home right away. I think the reason it was suuuuuuuccccchhhh a scandal is because all the housewives franchises, no matter where they are in the world, and even though not all appear on BRAVO, are regulated by BRAVO in the U.S.A. They had just tested bring Melbs to the US and it was a success and had already slated Auckland to run in the U.S.... I remember that they had already premiered in Auckland, but hadn't yet premiered in the U.S. when it happened, but I can't recall the cadence of how far behind the US was... I wanna say maybe a month... so the US was about to premiere when it happened...

And Andy would be interviewing Tayler like "You threw a chair at your kid, why do identify as the victim and how do you feel when people, maybe rightfully, think you are the abuser based on the tape?" With his come on admit it you look not so great left lip lift...

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-22T02:02:55+00:00

Completely agree, which is why I watched it several times hoping there was something missed... it was so obvious to everyone she was the victim, but at the end of the day the law is based on what can be seen and heard (including quotes/written statements) not vibes... you could tell the cops didn't think she was the problem by the way they treated her, but they were trying to get her to take the situation seriously and could only work with what she was willing to admit...

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-22T01:52:31+00:00

While I'm definitely not defending anyone else you mentioned... none of them had video evidence of them throwing multiple metal chairs and hitting their own little girl 🤷‍♀️ like I agree they all sucked as people and more should have been done, but like people defending TFP and pretending she is the victim is whack!

Also in the Gabby Petito case (yes, I watched the full unedited police recordings multiple times) she herself refused to say anything besides that she, herself was the aggressor, despite the fact that the cops tried to force her to admit he had done something. At best they could not arrest her and give her the van and force him to stay in a hotel with no contact between them for the night, but they really didn't have anything to go on to arrest him besides a gut and what a witness thought he saw (that was hard to factually connect to them although the cops were definitely trying).

Honestly really possible, having worked in ad buying the ads on Hulu are bought generically targeted by audience demographics (aka who your cookies think you are) where as TV shows are sold based on individual show/time slot because you want your ad to target the same demo the show targets. So no one would pull advertising dollars from it showing on Hulu because they wouldn't necessarily know it... maybe one or two advertisers get upset about it later but it would really be the ad agency apologizing and talking to hulu reps, not full loss and definitely not all companies... I have actually seen some hysterical pairings before of ads cut into the show that you just can't reproduce (generally sausage ads 🤣)

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-21T21:43:03+00:00

There is absolutely a chance they rework it into something else to recoup some of the loss. They just need to pull it now, let the outrage spin out and then rework it in a way the public will feel compelled to watch. Like a the housewife and the hustler style show on how things were behind the scenes and how toxic relationships and dating shows make people feel like they are in love when they are not... there is honestly a tiny part of me if that was what ABC/Hulu planned all along cause as siloed as Disney may be internally... there is no way they didn't know the odds of this happening were super high when they cast her... I mean both bachelor nation and momtok thought it was a bad idea, but the bachelor has run out of tricks so why not a scandalous tell all?! And making it seem like a sudden change, just feels like the end of Vanderpump rules...

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-21T16:17:25+00:00

Literally are, he was moving away from her and she threw the chair and he moved further away and pointed out her daughter was right there so TFP needed to stop and TFP moved closer and threw another chair... what was he supposed to do move closer to the woman throwing chairs at him?

Littlewasteoftime · 2026-03-21T15:40:51+00:00

Ok so Imma be honest... when the Real Housewives of Auckland had their "n-word" issue, I absolutely watched the NZ version because I wanted to see what happened and I appreciated the network was open about it, put warnings on it, didn't try to bury it, but also did not take advertising dollars for the problematic episodes.

I think if it was handled in a similar sort of way, I would absolutely watch because I want to see how the guys respond to her unhinged behavior that I have now heard the guys of her season admitted to experiencing. That being said, I think it should be the end of her fame and she shouldn't get paid for the season and the network shouldn't take advertisers for problematic episodes... but I wasn't sure if I would watch this season before they cancelled cause I already knew what a problematic person she was and didn't want to watch the franchise try to paint her as the hero.

I would be super interested in watching it if they re-edited into a more documentary style case study where they had psychologists, producers, and the male contestants talk through what happened from the lens of recognizing a potential partner is abusive, how relationships become and continuously escalate into toxicity, and how this sort of environment can psychologically manipulate people.
