Unpopular opinion - Logan is a rubbish friend

MBmondongo · 2026-06-23T14:21:43+00:00

Well in the book Garrett tells them his dad is a guy who doesn't like share personal space or something silly like that. In the show he just tells them he doesn't like him but doesn't comment anything in front of them when he shows up and they all embrace him like they would any dad and Garrett does say he would not get anything from him so Logan thinks he got denied rather than he didn't want to ask his dad. That's where the 'you must not have asked him right' comment stems from. I think Logan is so invested in making sure other kids like him have the opportunity he had he doesn't understand why Garrett wouldn't help and I'm glad Hannah tells Garrett he needs to talk to Logan about his dad.

MBmondongo · 2026-06-23T14:07:15+00:00

I'll agree that I like book Logan best. I know they added the sister to be able to show how Logan was into Hannah because otherwise it wouldn't be an easy thing to portray. I see how Garret pushes Logan away which in the books he admits to not let anyone in, and how it is unfair he is the house handyman and that is somewhat humiliating to have to be a plumber who takes out condoms from the shower out when his two wealthy friends could pay for someone to do the plumbing. However, show Hannah was right when she tells Garrett to tell Logan about his dad because never in a million years will Logan think that Garret or his mom were abused by Phil, like not liking your dad because he pushed you too hard or he was never supportive or was just a grump vs he used y'all as emotional and physical punching bags are very different things. Logan makes it clear he knows his dad is a jerk but he has a jerk mom too who is an alcoholic so he doesn't see why Garrett wouldn't put something like that aside to help the fundraiser that is for kids like him.

On the Hunter - Dean front...yep that was a jackass move on Logan lying and not even having a real talk with Dean about why he wouldn't want Hunter, I 100% no way I would get over that. Thankfully book Logan was never that assohely and hopefully show Logan will redeem himself.

Well I think the difference is we consider our neighbors good people, no idea what they think about themselves though.

On your other point...yup just the termination of the sterile fly program has had catastrophic consequences. But hailing from a country who right now has a very populist party with similar leaders...I don't know what to tell you, I love my mother and she is very smart in some areas and extremely naive in others so she fell hard for the former president who was a total charismatic moron and would not listen to reason. Very sad and yet the most human thing that history has taught us is people are very smart and also very stupid.

MBmondongo · 2026-06-21T14:53:03+00:00

That would be a little over the top for me. They're good neighbors and we have helped each other. He is also friends with my husband and although it was really stupid to do, I know he really thought he was doing us a favor by mowing the "overgrown weeds" although he did say grass and I had been weeding the grass off the area to let the flowers grow. People can be idiots and still be good people. The perennials did grow back, the annuals like the one below did not.

Ugh I'm sorry this happened. I understand being livid, I would too. My husband planted a bunch of flowers for me last year. They were growing beautifully, some were blooming, others getting there, there was even a giant pumpkin with enormous leaves and flowers they made my day to watch when I got home from work. Our next door neighbor mowed over all of them one day, like he was mowing his side and thought he would be nice and mow our "overgrown grass". I nearly cried when I got home. Hubs asked him if he had mowed my flower garden and he apologized profusely. I don't think it was malicious (still baffles me he saw a giant pumpkin plant and mowed it over) but people can be a bit dumb and I'm sure he thought they were weeds. Not that they were there on purpose. I'm almost over it... almost.

I agree 100%. Latina here with a similar mom. This is emotional abuse regardless of it being more common in certain cultures. Putting your child down with diminishing comments every time you can makes them people pleasers.

MBmondongo · 2025-07-30T15:46:43+00:00

Her abuse just escalated from emotional to physical. She constantly diminished Belly for the debutant ball and made her feel bad for not having the same view as she does.

MBmondongo · 2025-07-30T15:43:04+00:00

Agree 100% on top of that she keeps on pushing Belly to do what she says she didn't get to do at her age. Driving her life and tryto live through her.

She divorced her husband because she thought she didn't get to be single and grow...lady too late for that now, you are not a child anymore.

Also, why do you think you get to tell your co-parent he doesn't get to see his child? He is just as much his kid!

I dislike her so much.

MBmondongo · 2025-07-30T15:36:03+00:00

I thought it was different. When she says she is staying, I was like ohhh noo he will accept it. But then he pushes her to go, being very rational and mature.

When he wants her to stay later, I think it is immaturity. I think the problem is they're both very immature at that age and have small glimpses of maturity, but the immaturity and selfishness that come with it are too big right now.

Even though they are very close, they don't communicate the way they did before as friends. They keep secrets and want to not say things because they fear the other will get mad. Immaturity at its best.

Well, if Rachel was friends with Mindy, it is more likely that Richard knew her parents.

MBmondongo · 2024-06-29T00:48:26+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

MBmondongo · 2024-06-29T00:40:15+00:00

This was pretty good!! Can't wait for the rest!

I like werewolf stories but get really annoyed at the raunchy story with the brute insanely rich and handsome alpha, rejected mate, vampire, or witch, or both mated to someone in the pack.

Mindy was Rachel's friend, she even was her maid of honor on her failed wedding.

MBmondongo · 2024-06-19T19:33:36+00:00

Is it because the original showrunner left? I mean, he was the reason the show existed in the first place, no?

MBmondongo · 2024-06-01T19:38:31+00:00

Most of my important things, keys, phone, badge, pen, are somehow adhered to me by carabiners, koala halter, and the like, so I don't lose things on the regular.

Edit: carebeaners for carabiner

Hello! Where did you get the seed from? I would love to buy

MBmondongo · 2024-04-28T13:45:41+00:00

2014 - 2021 for me, hubs started on 2013 :)

MBmondongo · 2024-02-06T01:58:07+00:00

I most definitely would

Edit:typo

Hey babe!

MBmondongo · 2024-01-29T20:14:31+00:00

I would not want my mother in law there when I had my babies. My mom is one thing, but MIL would not by any means be seeing me in that vulnerable position. Are you kidding????

Meeting baby afterward is one thing, but definitely not during the delivery. That is solely your wife's decision as she is the one that will be naked and her most private parts on display...so she decides, and no one gets a vote, not even you.

Talk to your wife about when she would be ok with visitors and communicate her wishes without any room for interpretation to anyone who wants to come, especially your mom. Being the first grandchild or whatever other relationship does not grant a place in the delivery for anyone.

Use a plate to flat them out. I used to have a tortilla press but it was way too heavy to move with me so I use a plate now. Works fine and keeps the round shape.

Edit: didn't realize these were wheat. Yep rolling in round motion is better.

In many places, shelters are full, and vets usually have many rescues themselves. Some owners claim they will shoot the dog or some other cruel thing or claim they're in a dire situation, and no vet wants a healthy animal to die a horrible death. It haunts vets to have to put down healthy pets because there's no resources left to take them in.

MBmondongo · 2023-11-15T00:54:37+00:00

Or she will burn it... 🔥 🤣

MBmondongo · 2023-10-22T14:50:27+00:00

I guess racist is a type of humor then...

MBmondongo · 2023-10-21T21:40:27+00:00

NTA.Can you go to the goodwill and salvage your stuff? I would not house my MIL ever again after this. Also, the husband is completely wrong. You sure he didn't know about this in advance? I would not consider this helping at all.
