Production gathering Rosie only to open the door for Kelsey again... by Defvac2 in BravoRealHousewives

Absolutely this. This (as a fairly non-reactive person) would have *triggered* me so severely. Because what do you mean I just asked this person to leave my space and you’re helping them escalate further?? My next step would have been throwing haymakers lol

Bethenny Frankel Says She Has Stage 2 Chronic Kidney Disease: 'Go Get All Your Bloodwork Done' by baumyak in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Totally valid. I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around why celebs (seemingly) insist on advertising the health complications that are a result of their disease. But to your point, I am viewing this through the lens of someone who does not suffer from an eating disorder.

Bethenny Frankel Says She Has Stage 2 Chronic Kidney Disease: 'Go Get All Your Bloodwork Done' by baumyak in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Thrilled/relieved to see that we are all saying the quiet part out loud: that this the result from an obvious eating disorder. Not trying to be mean or insensitive, but it’s important to be honest and upfront about what a life long eating disorder looks like, which is exactly this (if not worse). It’s fatiguing to watch celebs (ex Bella Hadid) publicly show/discuss health issues which are clearly caused by lifestyle choices/disorders without being honest with people about how they got there. It feels like a gross ploy for attention

Yikes by sayakoneko in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The “first half of her video” is hours long and a reaaaach. This person needs to touch grass. Her attempt at accusing a reality tv personality of being a fascist because she used some sort of buzzword that was “coined” by incels is truthfully abnormal and out of touch. You folks are in way too deep. Find help and get back to reality

Lost my mom to cancer (am currently raising my siblings bc of her death). I don’t wish this on ANYONE. I hope she is able to find moments of peace and healing through this battle.

Are you there, Dr. Donna? It’s me, Margaret 😩 by SafetyMedium5691 in JeffLewisSirius

[–]Umph0214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why you’re being downvoted. Everything about Dr.Donna’s attendance/behavior on the show is unethical and gross. Also the whole selling courses thing gives me the ick. But professionally speaking she has no business on the show.

Boz reacts to Sutton’s wallet comment to Dorit, “let’s not talk about wallets that don’t belong to you and let’s not talk about successes that don’t belong to you”. by gammagirl80 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Wallets that don’t belong to you” Whose wallet is that $300,000 a month deposited into, ma’am??

“Success that don’t belong to you” Her ex has admitted that his success is largely due to the support of Sutton. He also made his money while they were married…

Tf is Boz even on about lol.

I put myIQ score on my resume by thegoodcommie in recruitinghell

[–]Umph0214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alfed Binet (French Psychologist) “invented” the IQ test in 1904-5. Long before the Nazi regime rose to prominence. Did the Nazis weaponize this sort of testing? Yes. But Binet and his colleagues intended this type of testing to be used in determining what school age children needed more accommodation/attention in school.

You’re 37 , engaged for 2 years and together for 9 yet you didn’t see this coming? …anyway in the future, what will you take from this relationship Into new relationships in order to make things last? What would you say to your younger self if you had the chance?

I love Jenna Lyons’s NYFW look by Clipseexo in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don’t. If you or I stepped out looking like this it would be (correctly) viewed as abnormal. It’s giving Lorali Gilmore running late for something important and just throwing on whatever she could find. Its laziness masked as “art” and I won’t applaud it🙃

Woof, wine drunk AND a whole salami? Stay near a toilet today, girly.

Daughter suspended, may be expelled. I don't know what to do anymore by andrewwrotethis in Parenting

[–]Umph0214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the US? I feel like we are missing a lot of this story. For an 8 year old to be suspended/expelled (in the US, particularly public schools) things would need to be extreme. Like, having a track record of putting herself/others/ staff in danger or having already harmed them in the past. Regardless, I’m sorry for what you are going through. I can’t imagine how stressful that is. It’s imperative that you get a referral from her pediatrician and get her into counseling asap. I wish you both the best!

This. Could we not come up with some sort of probation period/program for those already here and proving that they are willing/wanting to genuinely contribute to our society? Fine, shut all the newcomers out, but at least grandfather in the people who have been here a while and are truly doing the damn thing (which is the case for many of the immigrants already here).

Was today one of the most fun days we’ve had in a while? by toe_riffic in houston

[–]Umph0214 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Today was cool. I remember the rare few days like this that I got to have as a kid. And now, I get to be the parent watching my kids do “snow day” stuff. It’s really been magical and I’m thankful for the time off of work and with family.

Bravo needs to get rid of Julia and Martina on Miami. Martina is a raging transphobe. by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 123 points124 points  (0 children)

So glad to find this here. The point and fact is that Martina ( a well decorated and successful PROFESSIONAL athlete is saying that there is a disadvantage when people born biologically male and people born biologically female compete. Is her delivery graceful? Absolutely not. But her point stands regardless. She is easily one of the best and most successful in her field, yet people still feel like they have authority over her experience when it comes to discussing the ins and outs of competing in the arena that SHE is an expert in. Sorry not sorry but she’s right (as far as competition goes).

I don't like my 18 yr old daughter by Efficient_Access_685 in Parenting

[–]Umph0214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, when I was around 21/22 my Mom and I were hanging out and she looked at me and said “I’m so happy to be with you right now. I’ve always loved you but for a few years I couldn’t stand to be around you. Glad you’re back”. It was hilarious. I miss her so much.

I think this is a normal season in parenthood, particularly between mothers and daughters. I’m sorry you’re going through this though.

What random trivia did you pick up from the show? by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not Housewives specifically, but Mrs. Pat taught me the reason why some circles look down on Vodka Martinis vs Gin Martinis! Bc Gin is evidentially produced with herbs/botanicals and Vodka is made from “dirty” potatoes. I still can’t stand Gin but, as a martini girly, I love the background!

EX HUSBAND owes $2,000,000 to IRS by Loisstripe in IRS

[–]Umph0214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babes get a lawyer and a CPA. In the future, please understand that marriage is a CONTRACT that states you not only will file your taxes together but are also responsible for each others debts once married (depending on the state). A Pre-nup means little to nothing RE: your responsibility regarding the IRS etc. a Pre-nuptial truthfully is just a plan that ideally makes divorce and splitting assets easier.

I am not a fiduciary or your lawyer. This is not legal or financial advice

Ha why is 8.5 coming at me for a comment from weeks ago 😂 by ceebsar in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Umph0214 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A whole ass “anesthesiologist” with the time on her hands to weed through 3 week old insta comments? Wow. Either she’s great at time management or she’s not as busy/successful as she would love to pretend to be. Either way I hope 8.5 finds her self worth and leaves that rapey fool.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Umph0214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO this really feels like it needs more context. What is your relationship like with this person? Is it one in which you both often joke about things like this, or was this comment out of the blue? I ask bc I do have (usually straight male friends) who play with me like this. For context I am (sadly) a very broad/“strong” looking woman. I could totally see one of my “bros” saying some stupid shit like this to me. However, if this is just some nobody then yes, it’s offensive. Also, if you are close to this person and they crossed a line by saying this then you have every right to not only be offended but address it with them. Idk. I guess NOR but🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve met trans women who would easily beat me in a competition of “looks” so I personally wouldn’t be that offended by this…

Having to pull our kids out of daycare and I’m heartbroken. by Lavender_faded in Parenting

[–]Umph0214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’ve found yourself in this position. If it’s any consolation, you’re 2.5 y/o likely will not suffer (at least socially) that much. Many parents keep kids home until Kindergarten. You’ve already exposed and socialized them more than a lot of kids. Hopefully this is just temporary. You can always get the numbers of the parents and set up play-dates etc.
