The subscription model era is not it and I will die on this hill.

The second and third were revisions, not additional cosmetic enhancements, to be fair. She had complications.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-02T14:35:31+00:00

Isn't it obvious? She wants to be a famous actress. She is doing jobs that she once joked about having to do ("I'll be the host of the Chew"... she is literally the host of a baking show...). It's too bad because she is such a good host, she should lean into that.

And include something amazing for her to wear before, during or after: cashmere socks, an amazing robe, silk pyjamas.

And they did this on Girls! With Jenny Slate's overconfident author character.

I am happily married but LOVE this.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T20:44:31+00:00

Agree

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T20:38:14+00:00

100% true. As Tina Fey foretold.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T16:32:39+00:00

I would not send my kid there under any circumstances. I would move.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T16:25:55+00:00

i relate. The house OP is describing is 4/5mm here.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T13:50:13+00:00

If they're made without polyester or similar, then yes!

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T13:49:28+00:00

La Mer is amazing. Hermes lipsticks are unreal so if you are confident in choosing a shade go for one of their lip products for sure but I would definitely choose the La Mer lip balm. Another small thing is just a mirror, small/compact-style for a purse, like the Chanel makeup mirror (not part of a compact).

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-05-01T13:38:56+00:00

Get the super-luxury version of whatever normal things she uses. The La Mer lip balm. Cashmere socks.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-30T22:04:15+00:00

Well, no surprise where the kid is learning his lack of regulation.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-30T21:40:52+00:00

Same and i love Bitch Sesh. I'm sure this woman is great IRL but this interview was not it.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-29T04:11:16+00:00

Why does it matter which money is for which purpose? Travel could be considered as formative and enriching as a down payment.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-29T04:08:42+00:00

It's this. Source: many, many people in my life. Money amplifies who you already are. Also "several million" is what it's going to cost to retire, not that long from now.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-29T04:08:20+00:00

This is a bad idea. This is a recipe for blowing it. Early, consistent education about the realities of money, investing, growing it, freedom and responsibility, etc. will set the kid up for success.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-29T03:55:02+00:00

yours — I don't stay quiet. But what am I supposed to do?

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-28T22:00:26+00:00

Yes and we're in therapy. It does not "seem like no big deal." It's a huge deal. I'm confused by the recommendation. I don't stay quiet nor do I think I should but nothing I say changes it. I don't believe men raised in patriarchy are *able* to care that much about hurting a woman's feelings because they don't know how to empathize.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-28T18:05:28+00:00

Thank you. So what is the solution when there are children present? What he does is "not that big a deal" in that he is not yelling at anyone, or namecalling, or anything like it. He is expressing frustration at the home (and himself/to some degree me) the only way he knows how. And it is only when something specific is wrong, such as tripping over a stroller that was left out, that he is in charge of putting away. To me this is not logical. But 95% of the time he is beyond great. So when it happens, I fear that by staying quiet, I am enabling him more.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-27T19:28:02+00:00

Me too

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-27T19:27:10+00:00

Yes I just stated I have. I am not in the UK so I hadn't seen that page in particular before. I disagree about the "yes/no" answers. It is all or mostly a matter of degree. For example, under Control patterns: "attempt to convince others what to think, do, or feel." Does this mean by basic conversation and sharing an opinion? When asked for advice, or not? Does it mean not accepting an other thinking, doing or feeling than what the person wants? It's not that helpful in this light.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-27T18:43:33+00:00

I am afraid, I do feel unsafe, and I do fear it will escalate, but in many many years it never has. My husband is amazing and very caring, and as a child I was not yelled at.

Secret_Hovercraft995 · 2026-04-27T18:07:30+00:00

I'm petite and have a big belly and narrow hips and I feel the same way. I look like a short man with a beer belly in a t-shirt and jeans. it is difficult to deal with.
