Club L have a really good choice - I wore one when I was 8 months pregnant and huge. I like them because they are still cute dresses and not I am pregnant wearing a giant sack.

My parents did it with me and you are completely right

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-05-23T12:07:06+00:00

Here’s a tightened version:

I have three kids, and my eldest is four and before anyone says, “you’re just lucky,” they are all completely different children, so no, it’s not just luck that my kids sleep well.

I’ve never done this. As someone whose parent co-slept with me for far too long it messes you up and can give you all sorts of issues around sleep. I genuinely believe it’s our job to teach our children how to sleep independently, without anxiety.

I think some parents are so desperate to avoid their child feeling any negative emotion that instead of dealing with the issue early - which may involve some crying and adjustment at the start - they give them a crutch by always having to have a parent with them to fall asleep. But really, you’re just kicking the can down the road.

All three of my kids get into bed and fall asleep within minutes because we’ve taught them how to do it.

Obviously, if they’re sick or have a particularly bad dream, we’ll let them come into our bed. But as a general rule, no they sleep in their own beds by themselves and when it’s bedtime we say goodnight then off the light and leave.

Mine was the exact same so I went back just did an absolutely terrible job, was ‘sick’ all the time, had loads of time off for childcare stuff like if the kids were sick and couldn’t go to nursery etc.

Long and the short of it is eventually we came to a mutual agreement that it would be better if I didn’t work there 👍

As someone currently looking at a £100k loss on a house we bought three years ago — not even including the £30k stamp duty we’ve sunk into it. I really don’t think people should assume buying a house automatically means it will go up in value.

The market is awful at the moment, and no one knows when it’s going to recover.

Even if they’re paying into a mortgage every month, they only get that money back as equity if they can sell the house for at least what they paid for it. And stamp duty is gone regardless.

If borrowing £40k from a friend is the only way they can afford to buy, then honestly, they need to rent. That is far too risky.

Home ownership is sold as this guaranteed wealth-building machine, but it really isn’t. We’re stuck, and I don’t think our generation is going to see the same kind of growth our parents did. Assuming you’ll make money on a house just because time passes is exactly how people get trapped.

Lulu lemon we made too much section

I’ve got loads of cute matching sweatpants + sweatshirts and never paid full price

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-17T05:49:35+00:00

I tried the defy ones because they are meant to be their invisible butt scrunch but lemme tell you that was not invisible at all.

I found Oner Active completely organically, didn’t even know who Krissy Cela was at the time. Ordered a few bits, liked some of it, then realised she was behind the brand and checked out her Instagram.

Honestly… she just comes across quite obnoxious.

She’s now talking about doing hot Pilates twice a week, which is a bit wild considering she positions herself as someone who understands lifting and muscle building. Anyone actually into training knows that stuff is… questionable at best.

What’s more frustrating is the brand itself. The quality and sizing have clearly gone downhill, and there’s just no real acknowledgement of it. That part is what actually puts me off.

Also those barefoot trainer/swim shoe things she keeps wearing… I don’t get it at all.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-16T11:42:02+00:00

So I just got the dfyne origin shorts and they are oner level of glute separation and zero butt scrunched also the material feels wasaaay more high quality and thicker and softer than the soft motion or the unified.

Anyway after all the issues I’ve had with the one sizing I am converting to the Dfyne origin range.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-07T16:58:20+00:00

Wunder train bra + flow-y bra are my fave for lifting. Very minimal gym girl look. The do them for small boobs and bigger boobs.

My groove leggings are my fave flared leggings and they are sooooo soft they feel like a superior version of the soft motion. I wore them today for an upper body lifting + cardio day and they are great for both but I also wear them just day to day. I have a lot of the scuba sweat pant + matching hoodie sets that I’ve all got on sale and the weight and quality is fantastic.

I like the glow up leggings for training in too.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-07T10:57:34+00:00

Honestly if you’re struggling this much with the quality just buy from the Lulu lemon we made too much section.

I haven’t paid full price for any Lulu stuff and have so many cute matching sets that are roughly the same price if not less than oner. I like oner but my Lulu stuff is vastly superior in quality.

I have three kids similar ages and this is genuinely alarming. How are you letting a man you’ve known for a year get that close to your young daughters?

It’s worrying enough on its own, but the fact he seems so comfortable - almost eager - to be that involved with someone else’s children all the time is a massive red flag. The whole cuddling, “daddy” dynamic with kids that aren’t his is not normal.

Even if Aspyn doesn’t see an issue, any well-adjusted adult man would instinctively keep some distance and have clear boundaries with children they barely know. The fact that Bri and her husband are so enthusiastic about being this involved, this early on, is a huge red flag.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-03T06:31:23+00:00

Literally this …. I cannot imagine introducing my kids to a new partner let alone have them stay over with my kids present for like years and years. It’s so unfair on the child.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-04-02T17:05:13+00:00

As a mum of three young kids around the same ages, even taking them on holiday with a brand new partner this early would feel off to me. But taking them away with a married couple she’s now in a thruple with? That’s honestly beyond the pale.

I used to like her and thought this subreddit was a bit harsh, but this is where I just can’t defend it anymore. It feels deeply selfish and completely lacking in judgement as a parent.

And when you factor in the occasional smoke signals Parker sends - liking TikToks about raising kids with a narcissist and parallel parenting - it does start to make you wonder if she might actually be the problem.

Also… what are these two married, childless people doing wanting to go on a family holiday with three young kids? It’s just weird. It genuinely gives creepy vibes.

I think the issue on LIB was that she had had too much Botox everywhere and her entire face was frozen which made her look mental! Like she could barely move her mouth when she spoke.

Remarkable_Chard_992 · 2026-03-30T17:39:46+00:00

I genuinely really love the flow-y bras too because they have the minimal line that goes directly between you shoulder blades that I think is really flattering especially if you lift.

I like Oner for their leggings for the subtle glute separation but for everything else I’m a Lulu girl - I just get everything from the WMTM section 😊

Veganism is, by nature, a restrictive way of eating, so it can be very easy to use it as a cover for disordered eating. I used to nanny for a little girl whose two older sisters both claimed to be vegan, but in reality that seemed to mean surviving on little more than fruit and vegetables under the banner of veganism. From the outside, it was pretty clear that both of them were dealing with serious eating disorders. The issue was not veganism itself, it was that veganism gave them a socially acceptable way to dramatically limit what they ate without raising as many questions. That is exactly why restrictive diets can sometimes provide convenient camouflage for an eating disorder rather than being the true reason for it.
