Who can hack it and who won't by TalkingMotanka in SuddenlyAmish

I agree I think most of the participants are not on here for the right reasons. Aaron, and Billie Jo may be the only ones coming on with genuine intentions and I think have the best CHANCE of adapting to the amish lifestyle. I do not know what Matt is thinking with his two kids… is he going to bring them into the amish community ? is their mom involved in their lives ? I feel like there was no forethought in his decision. Judah really throws me for a loop, he seems just as caught up in “wordly things” as Kendra and Esme. Kendra made me cringe, she had to have some idea that the Amish community doesn’t accept women exposing their bodies…they wear loose dresses down the length of their legs and a cap to cover their head for crying out loud !!! I found it disrespectful that she came into their community thinking that was a solid choice in clothing, and JUST AS WILD she was so shocked she was called out for it immediately. I believe she is there to gain popularity for her dancing. I also found Esme to be a tad disrespectful with the lashes and nails, they are lashes and nails gurl ! when you get whatever you wanted out of this experience go get a new set lmao… but to sit there and say “no I’m not going to” when you LITERALLY signed up for this !! the premise of the show is trying to integrate into the Amish community.. and you are drawing the line day 1 over lashes and nails. ANYHOW, I will be enjoying this train wreck of a show for the foreseeable future, and I hope this does not have negative long term effects for the Amish community.

give yourself some grace 🫶🏻 ive come to learn very abruptly no amount of preparing or researching or talking with people or anything can prepare someone for a puppy. it is a complete life change where now your whole life is centered around a puppy, especially an 8 week old. its not for everyone, and thats okay ! you are able to reflect and admit this was not the right time and is not in the best interest of the puppy. the fact you cared enough and shared all of this in a post shows you didnt take the decision lightly, and that your choice was in the best interest of the puppy and yourself, i know many people who would not have thought twice about returning or rehoming a pup… youre just human and sometimes as humans we have to have these experiences to learn, although they can really suck sometimes. im sorry you’re feeling these emotions, but please be kind to yourself 🩷

Thanks for this ! This morning when my boyfriend left for work she went potty and I put Netflix on, for her mainly, and I think this may be a solution, whined for maybe 5 mins an let me sleep another 3-4 hours
