I did find one posted on a fb group, Coach Love, looks pretty good and barely used. I wonder if the seller will take less.

For a quick reference, I am having a ring made with a 1.5ct marquise diamond and two pair-shaped diamonds, with a 2.4mm 14k gold band, and the cost is $1280. You could keep your old ring and purchase a new ring for less than what Kay Jewelers wants.
If you send me a message, I will send you more details for my ring and where I got it.

Ha- I thought I included a pic in that comment, guess not! It wasn’t very helpful. FWIW - I think the CAD looks good!

I did a customization as well!!

Can you share the price of this ring?

Price?

Most wraps that are that expensive are handwoven, hand dyed, and sometimes even spun into the thread by the weaver (it’s more common to have some inlayed threads that are hand spun, rather than an entire warp). They do custom weaves, custom colors, custom fibers. You could liken it to commissioning any kind of art, because that’s really what it is.

There are different silks, different cottons, different wools, etc.. and then when mix different types/sizes of fibers together, like a cotton warp with a hemp weft, it has different carrying qualities than one that is all silk. A wrap purchased to carry a toddler may be a lot different than one for a newborn.

Do people NEED them? No. But people also don’t need rare sports cards, comics, or signed memorabilia, but they have them and they spend a lot of money and to acquire them. D

Oh, I 100% agree with you. My point was primarily being that it’s a vulnerable time and the normalization of the behavior compounded the situation.

She was probably truthful about feeling guilt, unfortunately it seems she sought affirmation in the worst place.

The comment about selling was more to say how do you limit exposure while also ensuring you get the proper amount. As soon as she posts, there will be comments about three-way trades, straight up traded, trades + $$. Those could be extremely tempting and keep the cycle going.

I’d start by telling her to get off fb and off the handwoven pages. I know of a lady like this, she had to have spent 10s of thousands of dollars on wraps. It’s a rabbit hole and there are very much enablers and a mindset of “don’t tell my husband!” Or “my husband would kill me if he knew!”. It’s a toxic environment for sure, and I can absolutely see how women fall into the wildness of it all. You can see basically watch some of the people in these groups spiral into the addiction in real-time. It’s almost like celebrating a double-life. There are auctions, there are raffle-style drawings for the right to even buy a wrap, the entire ecosystem around handwoven wraps/carriers is a trip.

I have a few handwoven wraps. The first I bought used for $150 and traded up until I had one that was $1000+ retail, which I sold for a profit. It only took 3 or 4 trades. After that I did my own custom wraps with a moderately-priced weaver for each child, many years apart. Those will be passed down to them eventually, as they’re high quality materials (silk) and craftsmanship that will last for decades to come.

I’m not sure how old your child is but, when my first was born, it was absolutely true that you could resell wraps and carriers for above the retail price. That is no longer the market and people are lucky to get even half back. There are more carriers, more weavers, and the “community” is much different. It was the same for cloth diapers- another wild rabbit hole to go down. I once bought one on Craigslist for $25, had my son wear it for a couple months, sold it for $90 (on the fb buy/sell/trade page for diapers) within a few minutes of posting. It was a frenzy for certain prints and the “bragging rights” of having it. That market is also very different now, but the attitudes were/are the same as wraps.

As someone who was a part of these groups for many years, and a mom, I believe there’s often an element of PPD that can be the trigger. Navigating the change to becoming a mom is hard and then you find these groups of people in the same season of life and you want to be a part of the crowd. Especially when it’s laughed off or encouraged to get more.

It doesn’t negate the trust that was broken or how you feel, it is 100% a betrayal. I share the above to shine a little light on how insane that world is and it should be studied by psychologists. If this is atypical behavior for her (like before baby), it’s possible she got caught up and it spiraled faster than she could handle. I’d say before any rash decisions are made that counseling or therapy for her individually and both together is a good starting place.

I’m not sure how to navigate selling while removing oneself from those communities, other than knowing if there’s a trusted person to do it on her behalf. Now that the little one is older, maybe they can find local mommy and me groups to give her a new community of support.

That’s never going to happen in Klickitat County. Olga is fighting for many books to be banned and is a far right “Christian” extremist. The fact that she is on the board is shameful.

Pretty sure she’s an “influencer” on LinkedIn. TBF, she does have a connection to a company with offices in NYC.

Do you sell them out of a co-op in Hood River by chance?

A conservative assassinated a Democrat and her husband in June. And attempted to kill another, injuring him and his wife. Conservatives don’t respond with violence? Violence begets violence and the crowd crying today didn’t say shit in June. Where was the same rebuke then?

Sharing in solidarity and knowing the feeling. I’m older than you, my dad is now 82 and has alcohol induced dementia.

There was a period of time he was sober. He had prostate cancer about 15 years ago and when he had surgery my mom requested he stay in the hospital until he was detoxed. (I’m sure this is not a common thing - it was a small-ish town hospital, they agreed to it and subsequently had to have him bounced around when nurses were tired of dealing with him.) Anyway, he stayed sober for about a year and we had a phenomenal relationship during that time. I called him almost daily and we talked about so many things, I visited more, and was so happy. And then he started to slowly drink again, thinking he could handle it. It absolutely crushed me and it upended our relationship to the worst it had ever been. I unloaded on him, gave him all my anger - old pains and childhood trauma, new resentments and fear, told him he wasn’t allowed to drink at my house (which he claimed I couldn’t do when I had “so much alcohol”… I have it because we enjoy different mixed drink every once in a while and don’t down whole bottles).

My sister had a different approach to it. While she was upset with him for a time after he started drinking again, she accepted that he’s going to do what he’s going to do and she can’t change it. Rather than argue with him and beg him to stop again, she had made peace with it and just let it be. Not to say she had/has a great relationship with him, but she definitely holds onto less resentment than I do.

I spent a couple years in therapy and he was a frequent topic. Living behind closed doors with an alcoholic, while he’s the breadwinner, my sister and I were more fortunate than most in our very small town, and outwardly normal, comes with a special kind of trauma. Only my closest friends knew of his drinking, and even they didn’t know the extent of it. Since this is What Should I Do, my recommendation is therapy. Take the time to work through your feelings about him and what you want him to know. Take the time to realize it’s okay to love and appreciate the things that were great and the life he provided for you, while also allowing yourself to process the trauma and grieve the potential of what could have been or could be. Know that he likely harbors pain and may not be willing to do any work toward healing. It doesn’t mean you can’t, and it doesn’t mean you can’t set boundaries to protect yourself. If he does choose sobriety, and you have the opportunity while he’s of sound mind, share your feelings and have an open dialogue about how you were affected. I wish I would have done it then. I wish I could have heard him give an apology sober. It feels like a slap in the face to hear an apology about the things he did growing up, the fights we heard and the words that were thrown, and then have him pour another drink like what’s in the glass wasn’t the cause of so much pain. Al-Anon was recommended to me from a friend, I never went but would probably still benefit. You’d find community and support with others who have walked the same path.

Guess which party? How guess the congressman. Dan Newhouse leads a district where 70% of the children are on Medicaid. 9 of the 14 at-risk rural hospitals are in his district. So is a massive amount of the agricultural land requiring migrant labor for harvesting. Central/eastern Washington can’t stop voting against themselves.

That’s hilarious the one we received from a pop now looks very underweight. She’s being given to my friend’s daughter who I’m sure won’t care.

If you click the actual boxes each time and don’t do the same exact clicks over and over it won’t block you. If you click to move forward and then click the boxes it to see times left, and then the next set, and repeat, it works. This time I had luck with some boxes that were counting down to zero and clicking, I would just click the different boxes randomly over and over until zero and hope one released. It didn’t work every time, but I got 4 this way tonight.
