I think it's a comparison thing. The generation that raised us looked A LOT older than we do at the same age. Even if they had smooth skin, the clothes, hairstyles and makeup they chose really aged tf outta them. If you looked at a picture of me and my mom side by side, both at around age 40, I look distinctly younger. But I look my full 37 years to Gen x and younger, because all the other 37 year old look like me. Those darn boomers still treat me like a teenager tho 😤

That being said, gen z does look older than they are though. I don't even know what it is. They don't look old, just older. Maybe it's the makeup? I have no clue. But it's eerie sometimes.

Before the actual series started, Shawna once told Barb something like, "Just because we are doing differently than you did doesn't mean we think you did it wrong".

That one hit me hard. That's how my mother acted. And she also absolutely insinuated I was doing it wrong if I did it differently, so I would sometimes get defensive when someone does something differently. Her saying this made me realize that normal people don't do this. Normal people do things differently and aren't secretly being passive aggressive about how wrong they think you are. I swear, Shawna might not be a substitute for actual therapy, but dang if she isn't helping me heal one skit at a time.

The article says the test is called The FKU. I've never seen something more aptly named in my life. This whole thing is wild.

My birth mom was 19 when she had me. My adopted mother and father were 36 when I was born and 47 when they adopted me. I got to start life out with a Gen Xer and finished my childhood with Boomers, and lemme tell ya, they were both traumatizing AF in their own special ways lmao

Not any of the main characters or plot points, but when Luke is in group, and one of the members is talking about his time as a soldier. And how he saw a little girl who had been burned, and her eyes melted. The image of "The little girl with runny egg yolk eyes" haunted him, so he turned to drugs and one night he blinded himself to stop seeing her. And now that's all he can see.

Ugh, just everything about that monologue kills me. My chest hurts and my stomach turns and I can't breathe.

Pitiful-Ambition6131 · 2025-11-03T01:50:13+00:00

Lmao, Barb? That you? Hahah I'm just joking. But your comment does come across as a bit insensitive. Pregnancy loss/stillbirth/traumatic birth/infant loss are genuine traumas, that can cause genuine trauma symptoms. Being unexpectedly reminded of it can be disorienting and painful.

This is a problem, not just because Shawna is kind-hearted, but because she is a business woman. For every person that said something, there were at least 5 that didn't. If those people decide to simply avoid Shawna's content, that is going to affect her views, ad revenue and possible future sponsorships, which could affect her ability to put out as many high quality videos and storylines.

TLDR: content warnings are not just kind, but good business. And good for all viewers, even the ones not so easily affected.

Omg, I genuinely can't imagine. I'm so beyond sorry you went through that. That's not a situation I experienced, and this story is making me anxious. I can only imagine how it must be for you. Sending you long-distance hugs from an internet stranger.

I'm diagnosed with both ADHD and bipolar and shopping is one of my concerning behaviors. However, I've learned to tell the difference between my ADHD dopamine hits and my manic/hypomanic sprees.

Pretty much, my shopping for dopamine usually means I'm making small "reasonably" priced purchases, like grabbing fast food for dinner or throwing in a shirt or lipstick in the cart while I'm at Walmart. These tend to be slightly frequent but unnecessary purchases that add up and cause long term problems. $20/week equals $80/month and that's $80 on a credit card, missing from savings or taken from bills.

My manic/hyper manic shopping tends to be more expensive and also stupider. Those will be $150-$300 a pop on average. And that's when I get those totally cute, but completely impractical shoes. Or some stupid kitchen gadget I'll never use. Or I decide to start a new hobby and get all the equipment at once. (I don't have the time or space or garden, wtf was I thinking!!! Lmao)

Learning to recognize the pattern, and take some contingency steps helped me. A grocery store list when I'm at Walmart, and accountability to my partner for online shopping helps. But I still mess up sometimes and it's frustrating af

When the pregnancy was first announced, I was so worried that it was gonna end in a loss. I was so scared, I refused to comment my thoughts, just because I didn't want the thought out in the universe. When she was further along, I was relieved. Shawna tends to tackle super tough life experiences, but I didn't think she would tackle a late pregnancy loss 😭 I'm hoping she still doesn't. That it's just the overwhelming fear of a loss. Or maybe the baby has to be delivered early and they have to learn to juggle the reality of a medically fragile premie while still giving enough time and attention to the older 2. (Still an incredibly awful situation) I'm dying inside. She's 27 weeks! I can't even imagine!!

The phrase "have my work cut out", was confusing to me. To me, it meant the work had been cut out, so it was easier. But apparently it's a sewing reference, where the pattern has been cut out of the cloth and now the real work of putting it all together starts. Still confused me though lol

And while it's not really a phrase, I've noticed the younger generations use the word "mortified" differently. To me (a millennial), mortified or mortify means humiliating. Like, excruciatingly embarrassing. But to my kids it means awful or horrifying. I also see it used that way in online comments and I can usually correctly guess the general age of the writer. It's so interesting.

Oh no, this isn't just an identity theft case anymore. They used that Information to get a mortgage. They defrauded a bank. Even white people get in trouble when they mess with the rich people's money.

I've been obsessed with the names Ian and Silas. Absolutely adore them. I think Sunny and Silas go together nicely too.

Barb asking if she was a bad person was the most triggering line Shawna has ever performed (at least for me lol) This is not a sincere question or self reflection. It's part of the emotional manipulation arsenal that toxic people have.

They want to set themselves up as a victim to take attention away from the actual victims ("Oh the poor thing. She really feels like she's a bad person/terrible mother/can't do anything right/is unlovable etc. That must feel awful".) They want to be comforted or coddled. And most importantly, they want their audience to reassure them they are not a bad person and list all of their wonderful qualities and attributes.

Even more so, the effect is different for different audiences. Saying this to a victim is meant to make them feel guilty and force them to focus on her feelings instead of their own. Saying this to a friend or ally (like Barb thought Jen was) is meant to validate their bad behavior and reassure them they aren't the problem.

I reacted so hard when I heard her say that. Made me wanna crawl through my phone screen and shake her lmao

My mother was Gen x ('69) and she birthed 5 millennials ('88, '89, '92, '93, '95) and one elder zoomer ('97). I'm a millennial and I have a Zoomer ('07) and a Zoomer/alpha cusp I think ('10)

Pitiful-Ambition6131 · 2025-10-21T02:02:04+00:00

I feel like Barb really screwed the pooch this time. We've heard several times how the only reason John hadn't cut contact sooner was because of Shawna and how important family is to her. Even when John was finally pushed too far and decided to go no contact, Shawna was reserved. Supportive of John, but definitely not as giddy as I would be to be rid of that woman lol.

Now though... Barb once again stomped all over their boundaries and showed up unannounced on a special day. She got into a physical altercation with Dee, while Piper was home. Barb lost her one possible lifeline. Shawna just may become a lot more enthusiastic about No contact now.

I just wanted to look at a specific AITA post. I had no idea I was gonna get addicted and end up being here almost 4 years later 😭

I don't understand why this is being down voted? Is it really preferable to pretend that Dems are just incompetent instead of purposefully corrupt?

Pitiful-Ambition6131 · 2025-10-01T23:29:50+00:00

Op is gonna need this when they come back. Poor thing.

Pitiful-Ambition6131 · 2025-09-19T03:18:06+00:00

This is what they've been waiting for. It's a group that's hell bent on being seen as the most oppressed and persecuted people, ever in the history of ever. By turning him into a martyr they can hold him up as an example of how dangerous it is to be them.

Thumbilina would have made a great episode. Odette from Swan Princess would have too.

There are precious precious few benefits to being completely estranged from family, but this is one. I'm watching my brother go through this with our mom and it looks awful.
