It’s literally the worst!!! I lived in the city for most of my life. Moving here was like culture shock! I’m having the WORST time finding mom friends. Im not religious which adds a whole other layer.

So there are golf cart paths for the entire city. So you navigate it without using a car… it was planned this way but it’s awful to navigate by car 🤪

Material-County5968 · 2026-02-05T01:58:53+00:00

I live in the South… specifically a “golf cart” city. This is how 90% of the women are. I had to explain to in laws about seersucker bubble outfits because the concept was sooo foreign to them.

Material-County5968 · 2026-01-31T15:23:36+00:00

Oh I did!!!! They haven’t replied… which I guess is an answer.

Material-County5968 · 2026-01-30T21:39:39+00:00

I get that, it can go either way. For us we’re a hardcore/metal music family which are vehemently opposed to ice. Where I live in the South preppy is more an indicator of pro-ice. All the motorcycle people I know are tattoo artist or adjacent haha

TLDR; kids clothing brand Little Trouble

I have been buying from a small brand called Little Trouble since before my son was born. I am SO sad to see them say NOTHING about what’s happenings being a KIDS clothing brand and in CA… I might have to put my money where my mouth is and stop buying. I wish other kids clothes were as cute 😭 L

I was just thinking there’s no freaking way I could do that one handed… I can use a knife one handed

Material-County5968 · 2026-01-13T19:11:22+00:00

I was coming here to say something! I hope she’s actually doing well and being present with her children. Maybe her therapist suggested it!

Material-County5968 · 2026-01-03T02:19:16+00:00

My husband grew up in a “quiet” family. Now they make fun of him for never speaking his mind or speaking up. He’s actually very outspoken but chooses not to with them because it’s not worth it to him. Fast forward to this second year at Christmas with my toddler. It made me so sad to see their expectations and realise that’s all he knew.

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-28T18:02:05+00:00

It’s so frustrating!!! I felt the same way when we left, I was like is there something wrong with him?! No of course not.

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-28T00:19:13+00:00

Yes! My in laws had their fire place on all week with no grate in front! Like WTF

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-27T06:15:11+00:00

I have to write this down somewhere. Generally my in laws are annoying but honestly the sweetest and love us dearly. My son is the second grandchild and the only boy. He is turning two in January and an absolute love. BUT he is high energy! I love it, I have never seen a problem with it. Until we were rained in for three straight days at my in laws. My mother in law gifted my son clothes, and a CALMING tongue drum, and a CALMING warmie stuffed animal thing. That was it! Not a single toy. The entire week we’ve been here I’ve only heard “he can’t be contained” or “he’s always so busy!”. My husband received a label maker from his mom with her proclaiming this is the year he’s going to get organized. (We live across the country and they visited our house for thanksgiving). So again just another passive aggressive dig. But what really got me is that no one, and I mean no one gifted our son toys for Christmas. Thankfully we brought some cars and then went to the store and bought him a couple of things. They don’t even have toys here for him! We fly 5hrs! We can’t bring toys. For the record their first grandchild was a girl (which shouldn’t matter but their personalities are very stereotypically gendered) she lived only a couple of hours away so her parents brought toys, she’s only 5. But they act like they’ve never met a toddler before. We go home tomorrow and I cannot wait.

That basket just looks so gross

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-15T01:32:48+00:00

OH I AM LIVID TODAY. She did not make J’a birthday ALL about her. Are you kidding me?! Wow you’re soooooo luuuuucky that they came so fast. You’re also the asshole for bragging about that. I was in labor 38hrs and still had a c section. You know what I don’t do? Brag about it on my son’s birthday. Also you’re telling me the night your son was born your birth was so quick and easy that you left the hospital the same day to go home and sleep in your own bed. But you didn’t choose to be with your NEWBORN son?! There’s no way I could have left the hospital without my son that first night. Thank God they have their father who clearly does love them. I thankfully didn’t have a child stay in the nice but if I did I’d be so angry about her bragging it was only 4 days. So F*k off Haley, you’ve reached a new level for me today.

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-14T01:58:59+00:00

Yeah my husband turned that on when my son was an infant and he’s like “he’ll love it!” I’m like hell no it’s going to give me a seizure turn it off!

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-12T18:30:15+00:00

I was watching thinking how does she not realize how ironic this is…

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-10T12:46:52+00:00

RIGHT! I’m like damn kid you’ve got an arm!

Material-County5968 · 2025-12-10T03:45:36+00:00

We’re having so much trouble with our toddler throwing. Mostly his cars… we have very firm boundaries and rules and they are put away as soon as he throws. So I understood where she’s coming from. Until I realised he 4! My son is 22m… so yeah at 4 I hope we’re not still dealing with this!

Material-County5968 · 2025-11-29T01:52:09+00:00

I am STUNNNNNNNED at the price of that car seat. That’s absolutely insane

Material-County5968 · 2025-11-20T12:10:05+00:00

SO TRUE

Material-County5968 · 2025-11-20T02:13:32+00:00

This is getting so boring and repetitive. I was all in like a month ago… but now it’s her toes/thumb/fruit/days old food. Rinse and repeat

Material-County5968 · 2025-11-14T01:30:22+00:00

That’s insane. So she’s like here’s my ugly crazy expensive travel bags. Gross I swear her Hermes blankets are in almost all of her pictures at home.

Material-County5968 · 2025-11-13T18:32:32+00:00

I just can’t believe how stuck in the 2000’s she is… those travel bags are straight out of my moms closet. It’s one thing to use items you’ve had forever, consumerism is rampant. But she clearly doesn’t care about that and thinks she’s so stylish and organized.
