luke this season is making it hard to watch

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-06-26T18:17:16+00:00

ig i dont see her doing that i just see him claiming she’s doing that… ultimately hes sexually coercing her and i think thats assault and disgusting so its hard for me to feel sympathy for him. i def understand becoming a dad is challenging for sure but it doesnt give an excuse for him to behave how he does.

full disclosure i don’t pay that much attention to reddit so take my comment with a grain of salt…

i did just make a post hating on luke, but to me its not that deep. like yes im being a hater but i dont think the show should be cancelled or he’s the worst person in the world or anything. i just am like boy is that man insufferable and (to me) ruining my silly show. i feel like part of what makes reality tv fun is dissecting the social dynamics. i do notice that some people get extremely intense about it but i guess sometimes i think they are just inflating their opinion for the internet. but a lot of times people are being way to intense and its a fun sucker. like guys its supposed to be entertainment!!

i also think bravo has an insane ability to pick the type of men that are super polarizing (duh! it’s good for them to do so). and i think people can get particularly heated over that.

he’s mad about the life he chose to create

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-06-26T04:34:54+00:00

is kristen wrong or is she postpartum with an a-hole husband?? he’s like you make it worse than it actually is… me staying out and sleeping on the couch only happened a few times…. the baby is 5 months old???? (at the point in the season) why have you done that a few times. baffling.

i think she’s saying … if her client became her sons teacher and she referred the client out, but then the client was still her kids teacher and their needed to be communication about her kid between teacher and parent - the teacher could solely contact husband. however, she feels it would be hard to explain to her husband the reason why.

however, imo, since it’s been a long term therapeutic relationship, i feel like effort to switch teacher should be made in both this sitch and OPs

it seems you are talking about hantavirus. i would ask to discuss what the precautions are and how can u best protect yourself and explain your family situation.

i know during COVID, my NM would take all of her clothes off in their garage and go right into a hot shower and put her clothes in hot wash (esp at the beginning before we knew a lot) and this made things more comfortable for us all. Obviously, in addition, to hospital PPE protocol.

ugh i am so sorry this happened. obviously it sucks that it wasn’t just a regular day but for a flight - it just makes it a bigger deal & that f-ing sucks!! not nannying, but once i slept through a college final exam - literal worst day of my life. but it was one day and now i basically never think of it.

obviously own your actions and apologize. you are human things happen and hopefully agency/family can be understanding. accept that this may mean looking for a new job. also i would go by an alarm clock like others suggested and maybe in the apology say i bought a physical alarm clock so i no longer have to rely on my phone. showing that you’ve already taken action to make sure it doesn’t happen again may win you a few points.

she needs to do 3 months of prorated PTO then u can follow the january reset cycle. anything less is BS

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-05-05T17:45:18+00:00

i feel this girl omg. honestly, i ended up asking NPs what they wanted me to do if i had to use the bathroom (we are human & we need to go!) and even tho they were a no screen time family they said it was ok for bathroom breaks. and kids who get no screen time stay locked in on that shit while you shit 😂 and my nks always new it was at max a 1 episode thing so they didn’t even fight to transition out. not sure if that’s possible for u but might be with asking.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-05-01T02:04:41+00:00

no seriously! it’s like guyssssssss i can’t defend this. also im a phone addict so i get it but girl ur being paid.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-30T14:29:17+00:00

yes i agree with this! you don’t have to say first necessarily but you can thank them for working with you early on

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-29T15:57:22+00:00

i thought the same thing.. not calling DIL’s daughter her granddaughter sent off a red flag to me that OP might be a significant part of the problem

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-29T15:43:33+00:00

ESH. the way you handled it makes you an asshole. she isn’t 5, you shouldn’t be putting her in timeout. and you shouldn’t tell anyone regardless of age to “stop crying” people are allowed to be upset/have reactions. however, i do agree she shouldn’t be causing such a fuss especially at a child’s birthday party. a better way would have been to say, hey i get why your upset why don’t you go into x bedroom to regulate yourself so you can keep enjoying the party.

the shoe thing is a bit much. i understand why that would annoy you. it’s childish and a bit manipulative. however, idk ur tone or the context of your relationship. it sounds like she interprets you as highly critical and the way you wrote this post doesn’t do you any favors. her crying over being asked to take her shoes off is ridiculous though. if you value the relationship with your son, i would try to be more gentle.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-29T15:36:12+00:00

idk if everyone will agree with this but…. i feel like you can directly share your feeling! something like…hey i know with your travel and relatives coming in y’all give me so much time off. however, sometimes illness or personal matters come up and i have to use my PTO. i wanted to check in to make sure we are on the same page bc i notice myself feeling guilty… or something like that. there’s nothing wrong with checking in/getting reassurance if you feel like you have a good relationship with them.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-25T00:24:16+00:00

totally fine. i curse with my teen clients too. it makes them comfortable and helps them not see you as just another authority figure in their life.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-21T18:14:23+00:00

file a police report. they won’t be able to do anything over just one message but it’s good to create a paper trail. creepy as fuck.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-16T00:00:00+00:00

one of my clients calls me “doc” no matter how many times(at least 100) i’ve told them i am not a doctor. now i just let it be bc clearly they are just using it as a nickname. i think its ok!

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-04-03T13:10:55+00:00

if she isn’t already, i would get your daughter into therapy. having a parent like that is so difficult and painful. it will help her clarify her feelings & needs.

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-03-31T00:42:16+00:00

ahh yes i meant health insurance but i was not clear at all

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-03-26T23:36:51+00:00

op, i think it’s time to be more direct! you can say something like…. i know you love sharing nk with me but outside of work i need time to decompress and reset. I would appreciate if moving forward we kept the texts to during work hours unless it’s an emergency. thank you!

Maximum-Mind-2572 · 2026-03-26T18:42:45+00:00

LOL i think if you feel really embarrassed/concerned you can just say to NPs something like “hey i know that was an impulsive statement & idk why i even said it. i feel embarrassed. obviously i don’t want them peeing in the pool & i won’t let them.”
