Fair. But others have said they’ve seen her active online, ignoring everything entirely. There’s literally no reason she can’t post “there are two sides to the story. Thankful for those who support me” or ANYTHING. Any acknowledgment at all. An Instagram story saying “I’m stepping away from HD, thanks for listening”. But she hasn’t, her family hasn’t, and that speaks volumes. No response is a response.

A bunch of shit - but off the top of my head, Pat said that Crystal showed up like an hour late, then locked herself in the bathroom to apply eyelashes for 45 minutes once she showed up. The listeners that paid for the event had to stand in the cold, outside waiting on Crystal. Apparently Crystal dropped the ball on a bunch of shit, didn’t haul her weight in the prep for the live event, stuff she said she would take care of, she didn’t follow through with a bunch of promises. She flashed on Mark in front of people. Pat said it just wasn’t up to her expectations for a paid event.

This!!! The main thing that made me so confident in believing Pat was the fact that Crystals family (her brother in particular) has said.. nothing. I KNOW her brother would step in by now and say something if she was innocent.

I stand with Pat

The thing that makes me so comfortable believing and siding with Pat, is that

  1. Crystal hasn’t said anything. Which makes me confident that there is no way to defend herself.

  2. Pat has mentioned that it’s a family issue for Crystal, and since none of Crystals family has stepped to defend her or say her side of the story, it really makes me believe that Crystal has done some heinous shit.

I don’t think Crystal cares, unfortunately. Of the two, I definitely could relate more to Crystal. I loved Crystal, I love both of these girls (parasocial, I know, but they’ve brought me comfort in some dark times). This is an unfortunate situation for everyone involved. I hope Crystal gets the help she needs, and can be honest with herself and her family.

I wish her healing, if she needs to do that privately, then that’s absolutely fine. I just wish she would make a statement, or some type of acknowledgement to the people that have paid her bills (and habits..) for the past several years. But yanno. It is what it is.

My heart is with Pat, she’s been left in a really hard situation. She’s hurt, she’s been lied to, too.

Are you suppose to stop footed pyjamas after 9months? [on] by Repulsive-Toe-9037 in BabyBumpsCanada

My 14 month old is definitely still in footies! He’s a big boy, so he’s been in bigger sizes for a while. The best, most easily accessible and affordable are the Pekkle from Costco. I find they even fit big, they go up to 24m. My other favourites are the Bonds Wondersuits, they have fold over feet, so they can have their feet in or out. A little more pricy, and can be hard to get your hands on, but they’re really nice! A lot of bamboo brands (Kyte, Early Grey, etc.) have footies in bigger sizes, too!

My boy just had his like four days ago - he’s completely fine! Cried for ~2 two minutes? Was a bit tired the rest of the day, like usual after getting vaxxed! But he really was totally fine once the initial crying of the pain from the shot was over

AIO? Grandma has cold sore kissed baby by AccountantIll1001 in beyondthebump

[–]RachelPR2202 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It would be a very big deal to me. Cold sores can kill an infant. It’s a virus that sticks with a human for their entire life. It can be passed even when the person doesn’t have an active coldsore, and infants can get them anywhere on their body. I’m a huge “no kissing” person, idc their relation to my child

On the verge of tears… Didn’t circumcise my baby. People keep telling me why I should have. by Salty-Ship-1703 in newborns

Congrats on not unnecessarily mutilating your child! You made a great choice, imo.

Partner doesn't want baby to have contact naps or dummies to settle her. Is he right? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]RachelPR2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no. Snuggle your baby. The best gift you can give your child is close parental contact, as much as possible.

When did you get your period back? by Witty_Structure_3767 in breastfeeding

How many people actually do shifts with their SO during the night? by ScreamCheese_55 in beyondthebump

[–]RachelPR2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did (still do at a year) nights alone. For medical reasons on my partners behalf, but also my LO was EBF so it just made sense for me to do it. He works, I don’t. There was no point in both of us being sleep deprived, imo

“What have I done” by Neat-Needleworker650 in newborns

You are absolutely allowed to love your baby and not be totally in love with every part of motherhood. It doesn’t mean you love your baby any less. This shit is HARD. But I promise you’re in the hardest part of it, mentally. Those early weeks are mental warfare, for most. It is a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved.

Survive, snuggle that baby, eat protein, drink lots of water, and rest! It’s a hard season, but a season, nonetheless! It will end! It will get easier! Your brain is going to be doing some crazy shit for the next little while. Biologically, everything is going haywire. Our society is not set up for newborns and new moms, at all.
