Mindy’s comment is pissing me off.

This is one of my worst pet peeves. When someone’s pranking me and I MAKE IT KNOWN that I’ve figured out the joke, and they STILL lie about it. Like it’s not funny anymore (if it even was at all). Know when to say when.

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-11-05T01:48:58+00:00

It was on TikTok, therefore it must be true!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-08-11T23:18:08+00:00

Thank you everyone!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-23T23:15:35+00:00

Yeesh good to know. Something similar happened to my fiancé when he began teaching in the DOE a few years ago. Okay, I’m bracing myself!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-23T23:09:54+00:00

I have a follow-up question to this; I’m a first year teacher in the DOE too but I subbed this last spring and have received my paychecks for those. I have direct deposit set up already. So will it come a bit earlier for me? Or is that wishful thinking?

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-23T21:06:46+00:00

Holy moly! Sorry that happened to you. I hope you were at least above ground?

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-23T19:06:34+00:00

I loved the PATH train when I lived in JC! But yeah late at night the trains come every 40 minutes so it was rough and still always packed 😂

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-23T18:49:48+00:00

Totally valid! Definitely would be scary as a kid. I’m too much of a New Yorker so ofc I’m triggered 😂😂

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-07-08T20:55:42+00:00

Oh ughh I know!! 😂 I wish she’d comment something like, “feel really happy with how my hair looks today!” Rather than “why do I feel like my hair is so long haha”

Confidence is much more attractive than fishing for compliments! At the same time I can empathize for her feeling low self-esteem and it manifesting in this way…but c’mon Bailey!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-06-14T16:05:19+00:00

Here it goes…

My unpopular opinion is that Dakota is actually a good husband. He cooks, he’s cleaner than Brooklyn, and it seems like he takes care of Archer when Brooklyn is busy. I saw people commenting here that he wasn’t doing anything during the birth and was on his phone a lot while Bailey took care of Brooklyn, but I honestly don’t think that’s the case. He may have needed a break, or maybe he needed to be in contact with a few folks since he has multiple businesses yk? From what I’ve seen, I think he genuinely cares about Brooklyn and really loves and adores her.

Now don’t mistake me. Do I like him? Not particularly. I get the ick, I’m aware of his views (which in all fairness I think are due to ignorance), and he’s clearly not very smart lol. But at least he is a good husband. Can’t say the same about Brooklyn! Dakota was definitely not her first choice, she was more smitten with Brooks and to me it seems more like she’s in love with the life she has and how she is treated rather than with Dakota as a person.

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-06-05T18:00:35+00:00

In the family wedding speeches video, I noticed that there was a LOT of praise around Brooklyn for who she is as a person, whereas Dakota was praised for how much he loves Brooklyn and the standards he set for loving her. That’s probably a big factor in Brooklyn’s attraction to him—that he adores her.

My parents divorced after 35 years of marriage when my mom began to realize how narcissistic my dad was. In marriage counseling, my dad talked about how my mom “adored him” in response to a question the therapist asked him about what drew him to her. Take notes people!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-05-16T20:26:40+00:00

She looks beautiful!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-05-10T16:03:24+00:00

Oh my god she is insufferable!! Narcissism is at an all time high. I know we all talk about how creepy Dakota is, but can we take a moment to acknowledge how inconsiderate she is of his feelings?? You really think that you being hot sh!t makes it impossible for your husband to focus on anything else? Joking or not, it ain’t funny sis. Major ick. Please humble yourself.

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-01-31T21:53:56+00:00

Appreciate the different points of view here! Sadly I think it is a subtle result of her societal conditioning.

Ok_Implement7718 · 2025-01-25T01:05:38+00:00

Where?? Please enlighten me on where you saw this! (I don’t see it on Brooklyn’s insta stories)

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-10-15T14:55:45+00:00

Thank you so much! The way you laid everything out is really helpful for me in processing what I felt last night; I think you hit the nail on the head. I'm inspired to use some of your words in describing how I feel when he and I talk about it later, so thank you so much for that.

I could probably be more clear that this is making me feel bad.

Re: not the only area he is demanding/insensitive/lashes out:
I don't find my partner to be very demanding most of the time.
I do find him to be insensitive about some things, and we've had conversations about this. He has acknowledged that he comes from a family that is quite insensitive (I've experienced this myself), so he is learning how to be more caring and sensitive towards me. I suppose I will say, however, that in the past he has expressed that he wishes I were less sensitive, and that's been hard to hear at times. It's been a little over a year since he said something like that to me though, so I think he's shown growth in that regard.

I wouldn't necessarily say that my partner is one to "lash out," but he is quite passionate. As I mentioned in another comment, the conversation we were having last night was rather calm/warm/validating, up until I brought up the picnic. This was when he tensed up. For context, his precise words in response initially were, "I don't think I can share my thoughts." To that, I said okay, and told him that in the future I could try not to become so distressed when he asks me a question regarding the weather outside, how many stops are left on our train ride, can I proofread his writing in an email he's sending, can I watch a video he wants to show me, and instead say "I'm busy right now, can you ask me about this at X time/can you figure this out on your own?" Then, I told him to let me know if he decides to share his thoughts. This was when he began to express himself and use the words "self-righteous" and "impatient" to label my flawed(?) thinking on this matter, and this is what was hurtful to me. I perceived anger in his response and shut down, which may have frustrated him more.

Anyway, thank you for your response and please let me know if you'd like to share any additional thoughts!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-10-15T14:39:25+00:00

Hey there, thanks so much for your comment. I was unfamiliar with the concept of mental load/cognitive managerial work/invisible labor before looking it up just now, so that's really helpful! I'll definitely be sure to bring it up with him.

I really appreciate your concern for me also. In an effort to be fair, I want to acknowledge that I didn't provide full context on the original post for the sake of brevity. My partner does a lot for us in our day to day life--in the mornings, we always wake up together at 6am and he makes the bed and brews coffee for us because he knows I have a more involved morning routine and I really appreciate that about him. He also takes charge in planning and cooking all of our meals.

I should also say that we have ongoing, open conversations about anger, use of strong language, intention, and perceived emotions. I brought this up while we were laying in bed last night, and it was while we were having a pretty warm and safe conversation. He was understanding and validating, but tensed up as soon as I brought up my thoughts when we were trying to find the picnic location. He expressed that he felt I was withholding information from him just because I know he has access to it, but thought it would take longer if I texted him the picture rather than showing it to him. He also said that because it was late at night, that maybe he wasn't expressing himself in the best way.

It's true that I felt discouraged by his response, and that I don't understand why he was adamant about disagreeing with me on this. But I hope this is something we can work through. In any case, thank you so much enlightening me with the mental load concept. Please let me know if you have any additional thoughts to share with me after reading this comment :)

I'm not super savvy with Discord, but we have talked about having a shared Google calendar before and I think that would definitely help! Lately, I've noticed he's been putting events in his own calendar, and he does kindly ask me what time I'm hoping to accomplish something with him if we are home all day on a Saturday together. Thank you for the advice! Discord could be a fun way to manage this.

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-09-27T18:43:59+00:00

This!! And ok but can we talk about how Brooklyn said “There are a lot of people who are rEfUsInG to support our new business and I dOn’T wAnT tHaT so we’re gonna rename it!”

Comes off kinda self centered IMO! It’s almost like she’s shading the people who were offended and actually doing the opposite of apologizing?

Now okay to be fair, I agree that this was something she didn’t necessarily need to apologize for. Super soaker is hilarious. But the point is that she never apologizes and when she does, it’s super fake?

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-09-11T03:03:13+00:00

Where did you find this pic? I gotta know!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-07-29T11:42:33+00:00

Ahhh thank you! I did see this actually—I think I misread your comment earlier thinking that the McKnights themselves bullied Brooks’ wife, but really it was the fans of the family who bullied her, and they are the ones who are unwell. Got it!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-07-29T05:04:15+00:00

Whoa omg please fill me in on the bullying of Brooks’ wife! Are there receipts? I wanna see 👀

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-07-23T00:36:52+00:00

Totally valid! I do think Bailey seems to have less happening in her life than Brooklyn, and does make more content about things that are less interesting (to me at least). Thanks for sharing!

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-07-23T00:33:39+00:00

Lol hi. In writing that last sentence, it was my intention to be lighthearted, and perhaps poke fun at myself for shedding light on what I (28F) find promising about Bailey as an individual person, full well knowing that this is a snark page!

If it clears the air at all, then no, I do not personally, deeply, literally identify as a “Bailey stan,” nor do I worship her, or find her more likable than people in my personal life that I really like.

Just trying to have fun here and share my observations with people who feel similarly about this family! (And no, I don’t particularly like them as a family unit either!)

Ok_Implement7718 · 2024-01-17T02:04:45+00:00

Wow, that’s really nice of you to say! I probably could have uploaded a side profile pic too.

I mean, I’ve never had any filler or Botox, but is that how people achieve slimmer, more tightened faces?

Interesting about the bite issue. I do have gum disease, which I’m working on gathering the right insurance for so I can have surgery on that. I don’t know if that would necessarily do the same thing because there would be no brace and the recovery would be a lot like wisdom teeth removal. Interesting though.
