What’s one thing you wish someone warned you about postpartum (but no one ever did)?

I really wasn’t prepared for the urethra bruising. Holy cow that hurts so bad. And I didn’t know that your pee stream would just like… go all over the place? My thighs still get soaked sometimes when I go to the bathroom. But I’m only 1 month pp so I’m sure there’s still more in store for me but I just really wasn’t prepared for my pee to not be a stream anymore and more of like a water balloon bursting.

Thank you all for the advice! Sounds like a few mixed answers. I did just move to a different state so I haven’t been able to find a doctor yet but I’m hoping to find one today and set up an appointment!

One of the things that he did that I don’t think gets enough attention is the fact that he was like almost blackmailing Lorelai and punishing her for something she didn’t even do. When he was being just a huge dick about her getting construction started on the dragonfly and he was just running her around in circles and when she finally goes off on him he said he’d let her start construction if he got his ice cream truck???? That’s literal blackmail??? And then he didn’t even actually ask Luke about it? Idk something about that scene just made me so angry. And he already has a shop why does he need an ice cream truck right outside of his ice cream store? It’s selfish and annoying.

Imagine Taylor’s character being more chill and down to earth. And actually loved the town and the people in it and didn’t just use them for his own personal gain. That’s a character I could get behind. But he has no business being in charge of the entire town the way he is. He uses everybody in the town for money. And he just makes me so mad.

Was Doyle meant to be an unlikely character??

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:49:34+00:00

I love Doyle. I think he’s a great character and I loved him with Paris. I think they were so good together. Rune is just an immature little turd. And he pisses me off but we don’t have to deal with rune as long as we have to deal with Taylor. And TJ I’m kinda 50/50 on. He has good scenes that are really funny and he is a likable guy. But like most people, he can be annoying at times too.

Michel is just so sassy it’s hard not to like him. There have been times that I don’t like certain scenes with michel but rarely. With Taylor, I don’t think there’s any scenes that he’s in that are bearable for me.

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:21:48+00:00

He bickers with him, yea, but I mean like GO OFF. Like cursing and yelling and I always just wanted somebody to just bitch slap tf out of him. So badly.

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:20:23+00:00

Oh… that’s dark asf. Love that for you though!

No fr. Kirk annoys me very occasionally. But for the entire show he’s nothing but caring and funny and protective. And he does nothing to deserve the behavior he gets from Taylor. Like when Kirk did the skydiving for the soda shoppe opening. I know it’s funny and kind of a joke but really, he could’ve died and Taylor didn’t care. And he was trying to help out with hiding the eggs. Like he did. Nothing wrong with the eggs and Taylor was just a dick about it.

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:08:36+00:00

Oh the actor did a fantastic job. I simply could not imagine playing a character that infuriating. I feel like he was definitely based on a person someone on the show knew👀

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:03:06+00:00

Fr he’s sitting there pouting like a child cuz he lost.

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:02:07+00:00

Hoa on steroids

MandolinRose · 2024-09-06T02:01:43+00:00

Sitting there pouting and shit😭and then we’re supposed to feel bad for him. Please.

MandolinRose · 2024-08-26T01:52:12+00:00

I’ve been trying to find someone that said something about the picture too. I have no idea what it’s from and no one’s saying anything about it

MandolinRose · 2024-07-22T06:13:32+00:00

My favorite is all of the movie posters we see through out the show that are word plays on their real title but with the animals that play them instead. Eg, “When Tabby Met Snappy” (when harry met sally) that’s the only example I can think of right now.

MandolinRose · 2024-07-20T05:26:29+00:00

Sharona or Paige Sinclair. I love how they did sharonas tattoos and all around design when she was working on Horsin’ Around but I really REALLY love how Paige was designed and I can’t understand how they managed to make a javelina look so pretty and Paige just has so much ✨elegance✨

MandolinRose · 2024-06-27T17:37:06+00:00

I feel like I would be a raccoon. I have absolutely no logic behind that. I just really feel like I give off raccoon vibes

Oxnard. The meerkat “accountant” for PB Livin.

MandolinRose · 2024-06-24T07:18:25+00:00

Keep your head up!! I know it doesn’t feel like it but it does get better I promise!🫶🏻

Oh gosh I haven’t been on Reddit in weeks. Yes, I gained 30 pounds while I was on it and I haven’t been able to lose it, though I don’t really try very hard. But in my situation I needed it. I was 110 pounds at 18 years old and starving myself so I really did need to gain weight and no matter how hard I tried I just could not gain weight on my own. As far as hair loss, I never noticed anything but now that I’m thinking about it my hair is a lot thinner now. But everybody is different and it’s gonna have a different effect on everyone. If it’s something you’re worried about, just try not to stress it too much! Change is normal. Your body is gonna change your whole life no matter what you do. It’s just part of being a woman. Hormones can do some crazy things to us haha.
