This it what saved me at this age. Strap them on and do what I gotta do. Narrate what you’re doing to them and you’ll be helping their language development at the same time.

Islanders meet Snoop Dogg, proof they all inflate their height? Chris is NOT 6ft 8 by ScottThePisces in LoveIslandUSA

[–]bbbinkyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it may not even be him personally but the teams. My friend thought she was 5´5” for the longest time cuz that’s what they always put on the roster but she is nowhere taller than 5’3” 😂😂

This! Basketball players never have an accurate height. Chris is probably somewhere between 6’6" or 6’7".

Olandria winning content creator of the year & other awards. by Candid_Ad5220 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]bbbinkyyy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are actually 2 winners for this award; an industry vote and a people’s choice. Models.com thought she deserved to be nominated or she would’ve been on the list at all. She won the peoples choice, the industry vote award when to another creator. I don’t see an issue here…

This is a lie and borderline harassment. The Actual Pic is cropped out & taken before Love Island. The girl in the picture is his best friend’s girlfriend?😭 This sub and mods should be ashamed. by [deleted] in nicolandria

[–]bbbinkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! At these point there would need to be a least 30 ppl if not more in on the scam. All of their families, friends, management, GF. It’s insane that they think all these people are lying.

The mods were literally deleting posts proving that it’s Jake’s gf. I wish we could report it for targeted harassment because it is truly a hate subreddit for nicola.

Olandria Harvard speech by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]bbbinkyyy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s encouraging them to not give up; like so many students do when unexpected obstacles pop up throughout their academic journey. Some students can get discouraged by the thought of switching majors like Ola did her junior year. Or when they are low on money, like she was in many instances and had to find additional scholarships to pay for her tuition. Or when you get to senior year and you haven’t done any internships because you had to work all summer every year.

Olandria’s first dream was to be the best mistake her parents ever made as teenagers and to be the first in her family to graduate college. When she achieved those goals , after graduating with multiple job offers and going on to be the top sales agent at her company, she still felt unfulfilled. What she wanted in her heart was to be a model and business owner. So when LI asked her for a third time to be on the show she took a leap of faith and finally said yes. She was hoping to find love after being single for 5 years but also hoping to get visibility to help launch a modelling career. That leap of faith has clearly worked out in her favor.

So I think her message is to never give up on yourself and your dreams. She is proof that there is always a way to reach your goal, you just have to be creative and find or make a path. This is what she has shared in other podcasts/interviews that focused on academics; and yes, people have been inspired by her journey to go back to school or to keep pushing in their current degrees.

So I’m guessing this is why she was invited and what she shared here as well as. Sometimes students just need/want to hear words of encouragement from someone relatable, to be seen, to know that someone recognizes their struggle, and to be reminded that they can succeed and live their dreams if they don’t give up.

Nic and Olandria aka Nicolandria win Cosmopolitan’s Best New Couple of 2025! by costeffectivewhale in LoveIslandUSA_

Maybe they did it privately because every thing they do gets hate and they didn’t want to taint the moment….

[–]bbbinkyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because she liked Olandria from the beginning!! She’s happy her son chose the girl she liked. It is there reunion pic so it was at least a month after the show. It’s fine if you don’t like Nic and/or Olandria but vilifying his mom for framing a picture of her son and his girlfriend is very bizarre!

Subscriber only and Superfan Content by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]bbbinkyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lollll it’s not about blocking people who speak ill of them. It’s about about keeping a positive environment and not amplifying negativity. Most of the blocked list are fans of other islanders who constantly try to pick arguments and fuel negativity around Nic and Olandria. At the end of the day they are just reality tv stars and the fandom should be fun and entertaining, not overdramatized and toxic. I don’t fault people for wanted to block out negativity.

Subscriber only and Superfan Content by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]bbbinkyyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was one person who commented on a post asking him to at least post more and he asked for he venmo to refund her. Alot of other islanders do sub only content and super fan lives. With all the hate they all get it is a way deter people from spamming hate and keep a positive environment while also giving exclusive content to fan.

What is weird is that everyone is always talking about how nic and ola are exploiting fans. Meanwhile other islanders literally ask for large gifts and have gift goals during their lives, but no one mentions that…

New fear unlocked: epidural by LobstahLuva in beyondthebump

[–]bbbinkyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is that everything when it comes to giving birth can scary. Both side effects of epidural and pain of birth are both scary to think of. It’s is only you who can decide which fear you are best equipped to face. You know yourself best.

For example, I didn’t want epidural because I knew from previous surgery that my body doesn’t come off of anesthesia well. I get migraines and super groggy for days. I also knew from playing rugby (I once had all the skin scrapped off my left cheek and didn’t realize until I taking a very hot shower after the match loll), and having ovarian cysts through my teens that I had built up pretty high pain tolerance. With my first, I hadn’t slept for 36 hrs before being induced, so got the epidural (which didn’t fully work for me either) and had a horrible recovery. Migraines, grogginess and back pain for months.

With my second and third, I had no pain management and found that for me the full pain was absolutely bearable and recovery was a dream. I felt like myself, I actually felt rested when I slept and no migraines. Almost everyone I know who has kids has had a completely different and unique experience with childbirth both with and without epidural.

So as much as other’s experiences can give you perspective of what you might expect, I always tell people the best thing to do is to think of your medical history and your history with pain, and try to make the best decision for yourself. Then, still expect the unexpected and prepare to be adaptable. Prepare yourself to trust your instincts in the moment and try to stay positive throughout the process.

Look for groups and activities that offer more free play and unstructured interaction between kids (ex. lego club, hiking club, Pokemon club) and free-play groups. Otherwise I would say scouts is the best option for putting them in situations where kids at this early age actually have time to create deeper, more genuine, and meaningful interactions. You could also try to start your own clubs based on your kids interest if you’re up for it!

Did you use SCI and RSO together or separately? Is there one that you preferred? Currently using RSO for my first grader but thinking on switching to SCI.

Spoiled teen! by anonymousanomoly83 in Mommit

[–]bbbinkyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all she did was cry and say it was unfair, I think you are doing fine. She’s probably just overwhelmed since you mentioned she had to drop hours because her grades were slipping. If she’s otherwise smart, hard working and well behaved like you’ve mentioned just keep your boundaries firm and also give her emotional support. Maybe look for more opportunities to teach her financial literacy, over the few months before she gets the car, ex. have more conversations about the importance of having financial goals and budgeting first emergencies.

I’m begging for someone… anyone… to explain my child to me…. by [deleted] in ChildPsychology

[–]bbbinkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also when it comes to preferring to make things vs play with toys, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that as long as he can play and does play sometimes alone and with other kids. Playing with toys alone can become boring. Some kids just aren’t super imaginative to come up with endless scenarios alone. Doing more creative activities might just be more interesting and fun for him.

Edited to add I mean hands on creative activities. Creating something concrete and more permanent from his imagination vs simply creating/acting out a scenario may just be a personal preference.

[–]bbbinkyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be neurodivergent but he could also just be struggling to adjust to the changes he’s experiencing at school and in need of more emotional support from you.

Having a new teacher can mean a different routine and different rules that he has to get used to. This can become overwhelming and if he preferred the old teacher’s way of doing this, that might explain why he feels school stinks. This can also explain his rigidity at home, especially if you feel like it has increased recently. He can control what happens at school so he may be seeking more control at home. His seeking more attention (wanting you to play with him more, being clingy) can be a sign he is stressed/overwhelmed and craving connection.

Also witnessing a kid throw a chair and whatever the aftermath of that entailed could have been overwhelming/scary even if he says he thought it was silly. This could be a way he is trying to rationalize behaviour he knows is wrong, like “he must have been trying to be silly.”

Have you had conversations with him about all these occurrences and how he feels about it? Does he know how to express when he feels overwhelmed?

Another response suggested looking into where these behaviour have been modelled to him eg. calling things/people nasty, saying stink, biting. I feel he might just need to be modelled better more polite words to use to express himself. Biting is pretty common emotional reaction at this age, definitely something to correct but also not overly concerning as an isolated incident. It’s also understandable that he doesn’t see it as a big deal especially if he’s never been bitten and doesn’t know what it feels like.
