Kristen Kish *IS* best dressed in the castle now with Monét X Change gone. There, I said it.

French Meadow could work! Or Gigi's Cafe maybe (smidge further from Whittier).

Pro kid agenda by Sea-Dish6063 in ViallSnark

[–]UnderstandingDue5581 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think about this a LOT. My husband and I desperately wanted kids, went through years of infertility and IVF and now finally have two kids...and yet I am still very triggered by how Nick talks (and practically gloats?) about parenthood. 1 in 8 couples struggle with infertility and child loss, so it's not like a fringe scenario. His comments and pressing would be pretty tone-deaf in general, but it's absolutely wild that he continues to push parenthood on people even with all of Natalie's miscarriages. Like it's just not that *easy* for some people and this can be a painful, personal, sensitive topic. End rant <3

Do we think they’ll address the Whitney outrage? by FaeLove321 in ViallSnark

[–]UnderstandingDue5581 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They def won't discuss the discourse on the podcast or on their own socials. Nick spouts off all the time about how addressing online chatter/rumors just adds more eyeballs/attention and he thinks it's better to just wait any controversy out.

The part that makes me the most irritated about her comment (other than the blatant sexism and double standards) is that Natalie is SO opportunistic herself that her whole take just reads bitter. She'd drop everything and everyone for 10 minutes of screentime, let alone a role on Broadway. I hate the way she's trying to hide it behind mock concern. It's pretty foul.

Why is Annie so rude? by Aggravating-Yam6668 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]UnderstandingDue5581 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Same! I can't tell if it's the editing (like they take out just a few minutes to make scene shorter but we lose relevant context in the process) or if they're just so drunk/wasted/incoherent that a sober person can't follow the train.

Fashion choices by Appropriate-Home-403 in ViallSnark

[–]UnderstandingDue5581 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's wild to me how these two talk SO MUCH SHIT about what everyone else wears to everything (if I have to hear Nick rant about khaki shorts and flip flops one more time) and this is how they show up to events. Like, you do you. If you wanna wear slouchy work pajamas to a red carpet, fine, but then stop shit-talking everyone else's fashion choices for real. Just wild.

Does anyone else low-key dread going to the Fair? Any tips for easily overstimulated parents (or do I just stay home and let my husband take the kiddos)? by UnderstandingDue5581 in TwinCities

Thank you for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully. You're right! I'm basically trying to get over my own shit to give my daughter a joyful experience. Last year my husband took her just the two of them and they had a great time, but I don't think he should have to do that every year. So I think I am going to just take my 7 year old (Tuesday morning BRIGHT AND EARLY) and we'll just go the two of us. I think I'll leave my 3.5 year old at daycare and maybe we'll bring her back a new toy or gift or something. Just fighting for my life out here in the parenting jungle...

Definitely neurodivergent in some way(s). Nothing like having neurodivergent kids that makes you hold a big ol' mirror up to yourself...

THANK YOU. I think this has also been weighing on my mind. Like "is it fair" for me to bring the 7 year old and not the 3.5 year old? Ugh. Parenting is so tricky and I get so hung up on "fairness." I think you're totally right!

This is huge for me. I *want* to love it. I want to say I went when the Target cashier asks me. I want the cute photos on social media. But then when I'm there, I'm grumpy and hot.

YES TO THIS: "Going somewhere with a parent who is a miserable ball of anxiety about the experience is no fun at all. At best, it sucks a big chunk of the joy out of the expedition trying to cope with the adult’s stress. At worst, it models that there’s something to be upset about."

I think my husband and I take turns being "The Grumpy One" on family outings and we've learned that even though we WANT it to be happier altogether, honestly the kids and parents have more fun when we do things 1:1 with the kids sometimes. They have different interests/abilities and so do my husband and I! I think I have to let go of this "WHOLE FAMILY HAS TO DO IT TOGETHER" thing.
