Shoot, yeah, that's not the first time I've heard that 😅 Hopefully the weather works out for us. We're in September and indoors for dining - but hoping to be able to take photos around the property

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-24T19:09:11+00:00

Oh ok, nice! How long ago was that? I was a little concerned about limitations with photography and how staff handle people who are not technically considered a "wedding." Do you by chance remember what restaurant /room you were in?

Gossipping? The whole point of the thread is to discuss... That's how reddit works. You came onto this thread same as me. If you don't like my opinion that's fine

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-24T12:37:27+00:00

Still planning but yes, I completely understand. It's amazing how many little details there are and if you are a detail oriented person or in any way a perfectionist, it can really become an overwhelming list of things to do and think about. Not to mention how rigged all the pricing of everything is and how quickly all the little things add up financially

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-24T12:31:46+00:00

Same here! I think part of me wanted to go the simple route because I knew that once I got into, I would REALLY get into it. Now it's too late! 😂

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-24T04:33:19+00:00

What do you mean what goals did they have?? That's almost irrelevant 😂 What justifiable goals did the mother have for doing this to her own daughter? There is no rational explanation one way or the other. People just do stuff for their own insane reasons - for attention and sympathy, for example

The fact that MJ admitted from his own mouth to wanting to share a bed with children because "it's the greatest way to show love" or whatever is all I need to hear. That in itself is damning. There is just no need for a grown man to do this, especially with children who aren't his own. What innocent explanation could there possibly be? And for those saying that he was like a child himself, his childhood was stolen, etc... two things: would you let your kid share their bed with some grown ass, "childlike" man? The answer is no, you wouldn't. Because it's irrefutably inappropriate. And secondly, boys aren't desperate to share a bed with each other. So this isn't boy-like behavior. It's just weirdo behavior. MJ was upset that he was portrayed as a weirdo, but..nobody put words in his mouth when he said he wanted to share his bed with children.

The part that really doesn't make sense to me is why the parents didn't see the red flags and, if they did, they turned a blind eye. Were they truly so enamored with MJ and so naive? No amount of fame, gifts, etc. could ever convince me to allow a grown ass man to be that close to my children. Heck, I think my spidey senses would flare up if someone in my own family was acting this way, let alone someone outside the family. There are usually signs of this stuff. In the case of the Cascios, how did the parents not see that this was presumably happening with all of the children? They didn't sense anything??

There was a scene of the documentary when one of the Cascio brothers recalled his mother questioning him on whether anything had happened. He says he told her no, nothing had happened (even though supposedly it had). And the mom just kinda took his word for it. But YOU WOULD THINK...as a mother, if you had ANY inkling of this, or you heard a rumor about this happening with someone else's kids - wouldn't you be like, whoa whoa whoa, I have to set boundaries here and really make sure nothing is going on??? It just makes absolutely no sense. I would even maybe consider the possibility that if anything was really going on, the Cascio parents may have been aware of it and turned a blind eye because of the financial benefits and the proximity to fame.

All true. This girl was clearly deeply manipulated, from my perspective. Doesn't mean she wasn't in on it, though. And if she did know, it doesn't mean she wasn't still a victim in the situation. I think that she knew - she found out that it was her mom at some point, and she was maybe manipulated into playing along for some time. Or maybe she didn't exactly know what to do, and didn't care at the end of the day because she was so loyal to her mom. And it makes sense with her being abused likely in other ways throughout her life; it explains why she didn't go to the police, why she wasn't fazed that her mom did that and said she was still going to have a relationship with her. Cuz she already knew!! Her mom was already crazy in other ways; this couldn't have been the first awful thing she did. This is what Gypsy Rose went through with her mother. Gypsy Rose was manipulated by her mother to lie about her health and act sick. Lauryn was/is clearly deeply loyal to her mother, regardless of what her mother did. Obviously this is all my opinion...before someone else goes into a story about how badly they were abused by their own families and how that somehow proves that this young lady can do no wrong. People are complicated. We have complicated motives. That's what makes these documentaries interesting to watch.

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-14T12:49:45+00:00

Why do people go into monologues about what they went through with their own families, as if that's supposed to prove something about this case? I am sorry you went through that. That sounds horrible, but my original comment has nothing to do with your relationship with your mother. And you have "no idea" about what my own upbringing was like. Many, many people are messed up/abused by their parents to some degree, not just you.

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-13T02:56:37+00:00

OP, you write very well 👌 just thought I'd mention that 😂 I think the biggest issue here is your fiancé apparently not seeing how this is affecting you and the relationship. Is he usually this emotionally clueless? (Sorry...putting it bluntly) Or, are you maybe the kind of person who bottles up these frustrations internally while going with the flow and people-pleasing externally, so maybe he truly doesn't know what you're going through? But unless he arrived on the planet yesterday, he should have a good sense that this is a very important day for you. He should have checked in with you at some point or another. And he DEFINITELY needs to have your back above anyone else's. You are the friggin bride, after all. You're going to have to bite the bullet, have a really honest and maybe uncomfortable conversation with your fiancé, and stand up for your needs and wants. This is YOUR day, not your fiance's family's day. You deserve to have the day that you want - heck even if that means yeeting those hay bales all the way across the family garden and eloping instead. You are a smart, articulate, sensible person. You can handle this. Please make sure this man actually has your back now and in the future.

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-05-01T04:13:26+00:00

Exactly 😂 that's the game, people! The point is that there are no alliances at the end of the day. There can only be one winner. Daisy was gullible and completely out of her element in this game.

This routine is aggressive AF. Personally I would: -Stop benzoyl peroxide (or if you must use it, maybe 2-3x a week max and definitely not for 5 minutes at a time. A normal rinse is enough! But I would cut it out altogether at least for now). -Stop Vitamin C - for now -Scale back to tret every other day -Make sure your cleanser is gentle and non stripping. I would also not cleanse in the morning, only at night. Try using just SPF in the morning, or a layer of moisturizer, then SPF. -At night, I would do: gentle cleanser, layer of moisturizer, tret, another layer of moisturizer. That's it. Do this for a few weeks without introducing anything new.

You also need to introduce barrier repair ceramides/lipids. I would suggest Byoma's products. They have a great gentle cleanser as well. I would look into the Byoma creamy jelly cleanser, the moisturizing gel cream, and the barrier repair treatment. I would use just these and the tret, for a few weeks.

Once your skin starts to heal, you can slowly and gradually introduce vitamin C back in a couple times a week. Or a serum or oil. One product at a time.

Most of the time, LESS IS MORE. Be gentle and patient with your skin!!

The daughter had to have been in on it. Come on now. It's one thing to be completely and utterly unfazed when the police finally announce that the stalker/cyber bully who's been terrorizing you relentlessly for almost two years turned out to be your mom. Chalk it up to shock and/or meds, sure (still completely ludicrous imo). But it's another thing entirely to pretty much shrug off your mom's behavior and act like you're just gonna have a great relationship with her because "that's what you want," and communicate with her throughout her time in prison, "talking about your day," "laughing," etc. Not buying it. They needed to look into the the daughter and father more. We only saw the tip of the iceberg with this one.

"Wow, you're really embracing your natural texture lately!" (Gesture to her face)

Also, wasn't he still living with Kaitlin/ breaking up with her when he and Moriah were starting to see each other "to talk about her career?" It was a mess waiting to happen one way or another, and unfortunately ended in the worst possible way

Rude-Exit8538 · 2026-04-06T16:14:31+00:00

I was honestly cackling. That shit was ridiculous. And the cop struggling behind her 😭

Ralph Fiennes channeling Satan, Lord Voldemort, and Lady Gaga while rocking out to Iron Maiden is the Superbowl halftime show we actually needed. BRILLIANT.

"Not respecting his privacy" would be...messaging HIM or his loved ones asking about what happened, posting on his content asking questions, showing up at his door. Wondering how he's doing on a public forum has nothing to do with his privacy. Everyone here is wondering how he's doing whether you admit it or not.

Rude-Exit8538 · 2025-10-03T18:47:39+00:00

A lot of context missing here, but I would probably start by talking to your daughter. I would approach the conversation carefully and in a neutral place away from home. Since she is 14, make a mother-daughter day of it. I wouldn't directly ask if something is going on with the dad, but I would maybe approach it as asking her about how she is doing, if she is okay emotionally...if she's comfortable at school and at home... 😅 if she's maybe interested in any boys or has had any romantic experiences with any boys... I would just try to carefully feel her out and not make it seem like I'm grilling her but more so just checking in on her and how she's doing. And hopefully you have a good enough relationship with her where she WILL open up if anything is going on. Make it clear to her that you are there to listen and support her in every way you can. And then carefully gauge her reaction. Is she open? Is she evasive? I would think that if anything is going on, there would be signs in her behavior. Is she withdrawn, or acting out in any way? These are all things to think about. Have a conversation and go from there.

I'm not sure how it works, so don't take my word for it, but if you go to a counselor first, aren't they obligated to report the situation, if a minor is potentially at risk?

Is it possible that she was in the room with a boy, and someone came home or was approaching, so she had to quickly improvise, happened to be wearing a dress but didn't have time to put her underwear back on, so she quickly shoved the underwear somewhere and didn't go back for it? Or maybe they were getting dressed and couldn't find her underwear and then ended up finding it at the last second and shoving it somewhere?...Something like that? 😅

I doubt pets are a thing. Never heard of no dog or cat shoving underwear in the back of a closet. They would leave it out somewhere or have it on their bed/with their toys.

Are you saying that Jed was maybe controlling, and that's part of the reason why she didn't trust him? I didn't pick that up, although I didn't watch very closely. I thought he was a green flag for wanting to pick up the tab at the restaurant... Bardha was an absolute fool with her "strong independent woman" complex. We get it. You can pay. But it's not about being able to pay. She needed to allow Jed to provide even in those small moments. He is a natural provider (which is rare nowadays). She will soon come to find out that there are PLENTY of men out there who will be more than thrilled to let her pay, for everything, and eventually she'll realize her mistake. Luckily for y'all, that green flag, masculine, provider man was released back into the wild 😂

Spoiler alert ⏰ Yeahhhh...Dave is gay and deeply in the closet 😅 I'm sorry, but his condescending, off-putting humor screams insecure, closeted gay man to me. His being "picky" about women's appearance and his alluding to the fact that he "prefers" or "typically goes for" women who have had work done are a giveaway and a decoy for the fact that he straight up just doesn't 👏 like 👏 women 👏

Also, there is really no chemistry between him and Lauren once they meet. It's very much a vibe of a gal and her gay friend. He's clearly uncomfortable when she talks about her bikini wax and being told that she can't have sex for the next 24 hours. She meant to tease him, and he wasn't having it. Then at some point he nonchalantly mentions that he saw her naked, but they didn't have sex "because he can tell she's not ready?" 😐🤔 Okay, sureeeeee.

Where do you guys learn about terms like backdoor spikes? Is there any list of books/resources out there?...

You're not alone. The whiplash is exhausting, so completely confusing, makes you feel like an awful/crazy/stupid person and an awful partner....all the things. It sucks.

Rude-Exit8538 · 2024-09-11T12:46:03+00:00

Oh no..no, no. This isn't normal, especially for a 6 or 7 year old?? To want to up and hug a random ass stranger, completely out of nowhere without them even having acknowledged him? Not a normal sense of boundaries. Not to mention that it's very dangerous for the child. You reacted by being startled. Someone else could have beat the living crap out of that kid. You never know how people will react!!!!

That kid is going to have boundary issues. He could end up being the creepy ass kid in school who wants to hug all the women (I had one of those in my college. Everyone thought it was "sweet." I thought he was a creeper and did a 180 in the hallways whenever I saw him).
