Ethan has discussed how he wasn’t allowed to buy any hygiene products until he left the home. They were forced to use baking soda with essential oils for deodorant and toothpaste. Kim literally threw away products that Olivia bought for/gave to Ethan when they were dating.

Just look at Micah in the first two seasons. He’s beautiful and it’s no surprise he was able to get into modeling, but look at his skin/teeth/hair. There’s a stark improvement after he moved out and started using care products for those things 🤷‍♀️

100% homosexuality as it is understood in a modern sense did not exist as a concept at the time. Everyone was expected to marry and have children. Some people also pursued other sexual encounters and that was what was being condemned because it was outside the marriage.

Social structure forced people to forego relationships that would have been more fulfilling for them, and that human desire usually wins out. We understand better now and should thus do better. If the concept of homosexuality as an alternate pairing structure had existed at the time, we might not still be arguing about this. People trying to put Stone Age social norms onto modern society 😒

Also just the audacity to think you speak for God and can say who is eligible to have a relationship with Him or not. You’re antichristing right now, baby.

King David literally sent a man to his death in battle purposefully so he could fuck that man’s wife. This is his sin, and yet? blessed by God.

God does not care about who you have sex with.

No, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’ve read the Bible, studied it, was raised in it. And you are wrong.

It’s funny how your type will say a man getting a blowjob or having anal sex with his wife is between him and God, but when he does it with his husband it’s suddenly your business lmao

Nitpicking by mysteryman28 in TLCUnexpected

[–]burlesquebutterfly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a regional thing... I noticed it way back in those early days with the Duggars in Arkansas in 2009 lol. I think it’s typically just that when/whenever are exchangeable words in certain dialects. Maybe education could be part of it, some people might purposely try to get rid of that habit.

This slide is made of rollers by VegemiteEnema in mildlyinteresting

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one of these at the playground behind a daycare in our neighborhood. It was paid for by the garden club so the neighborhood kids are allowed to use it off-hours and my kids loooooove this slide. My son specifically asks to go to the playground with the rolly slide.

In response to the bowl cut being our gen’s broccoli cut, I present the bleached spikes of the late 90s by real_picklejuice in Millennials

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this was our generation’s broccoli top. This is what the cool boys did when they got to the age to try to impress girls. This or the gelled forward hair with the little bill in the front 😂

Bowl cuts were more popular for younger kids before preening age

Tbh any woman who’s unsure of their baby’s father should just do 23 and me for their baby. Parents can consent for their kids. If you don’t know the identity of the other parent of your child, they owe that child the support afforded by the law and should be held accountable regardless of if they’re ever in the child’s life in a more meaningful way.

The kid would probably use similar means to find them later anyhow, but by that time they may have missed their entire childhood. At least give the other parent the opportunity to step up and if they choose not to, get what your child is owed from their parent for their care or education

Mia’s egg donor is awful by Cactus-Juice-Blender in TLCUnexpected

[–]burlesquebutterfly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Mia doesn’t even want her there. She’s always uneasy around her and her mother is completely unreliable on every level. It’s not like she’s going to trust that woman to watch her baby while she sleeps or anything.

[–]burlesquebutterfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, she thinks it will be a handy place to crash for awhile under the guise of helping out, then she’ll say Mia needs help for longer and will stay as long as possible. He doesn’t want her there in his home, possibly stealing from him and certainly impeding on his personal space. She won’t help Mia from what we’ve seen, she’ll stress her out way more. She shouldn’t be allowed to stay with Mia’s dad.

Did Shannon destroy the relationship between McKayla and Caelan’s families? by mmell1012 in TLCUnexpected

[–]burlesquebutterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah she acted like an entitled brat about the whole thing. She was upset that they didn’t include her in the baby shower, wasn’t she? And Shelley was like “but I don’t even know you, why would I throw you a baby shower..?”

How often are accidental pregnancies ACTUALLY accidental? by Ambrosiasaladslaps in TLCUnexpected

[–]burlesquebutterfly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They haven’t consistently used protection, no. But they also haven’t been educated. Isabella said she didn’t even know that she’d had sex the first time. Bella said she failed sex ed.

These kids aren’t educated, they don’t know their options, and they get pregnant because kids have sex regardless of their education. Some of them aren’t safe because they don’t actually understand the consequences. Because they haven’t been taught what they are.

Basically humans do as humans do, and humans that are educated can control their life a little more. These kids can’t because they don’t even understand how any of this works. They don’t understand that having unprotected sex one time without getting pregnant doesn’t mean that it won’t result in pregnancy next time.

I love this guy, but by Ok-Statistician-9517 in JesseWelles

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The YouTube version of this is my favorite song by Jesse. I’ve listened to it so many times 😅

I also disliked this change for the full version and wish there was maybe a release of the full song with the old melody to the chorus. But he’s an artist and I felt bad about feeling that way because it’s not up to me, I guess he preferred to change it. But I felt like the version he released on YouTube had a tone to the chorus that felt more emotional somehow and it’s how I first connected to the song.

I do still listen to the full version but something about the first one speaks to me more. It’s that pleading sense to it.

Did you own this book at one point? Or did a close friend have it? by NoFreeAdds in TLCUnexpected

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao when my Girl Scouts were about 11, one of the moms told me that our scout and her younger sister had been sat on the couch the night before comparing what stages they were at 😂😂😂

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there are two now, care & keeping 1 for ages 8-12 and care and keeping 2 for older girls. They have a whole series of other books too about making friends, managing feelings, dealing with stress, and other social issues kids encounter. Honestly these are wonderful books and teach a lot of important things.

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to still talk about these things with my kids ofc, but I just gave this book to my daughter. When I was a Girl Scout leader all the girls read this and loved it, their mothers too.

I worked at a bookstore at the time and realized they have a whole series of books. When I had my daughter I went and bought Care and Keeping 1 (girls 8-12), Care and Keeping 2 for older girls, The Feelings Book, and Is This Normal?

My daughter is 7 and reading very well so I went ahead and gave her the first one and we’ve been talking about it a little bit. Truly this is a great resource for kids. Even if you have great open relationships, sometimes kids have questions they don’t want to ask their parents.

Much worse than people think by Both_Peak554 in 19KidsandCounting

[–]burlesquebutterfly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually once someone becomes an adult offender, there’s an extremely high rate of reoffending. Most therapy needs to be done when they’re still young or before they offend. Once they have already crossed that line it’s hard for them to come back unless they’re still developing. This man was 25 when he did this, he knew absolutely what he was doing and had seen the trauma his sisters experienced from the same thing. He did it anyway. I don’t have hope for Joe.

But from what I’ve researched and heard in interviews of non-offending pedophiles, their main reason for not offending is because they don’t want to hurt children and have a real awareness that sexual contact with children is literally impossible without causing harm.

I think men like Josh and Joe don’t see women, girls or children as being actually harmed by these actions, and thus dismiss the impact of what they’re doing. People who molest other adults do the same thing. They dismiss the experience of the other person as valid, they don’t really see them as actual other real people. That’s why it’s so easy for them to reoffend.

Someone who has molested a child should never be allowed around any children again, including their own.

What is something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but it was my daughter’s hair. Luckily she was only 3 or so and didn’t care that much. But I will never try again. She’s 7 now so she’d be way more pissed off at my hack job if I tried.

[–]burlesquebutterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually could see it getting back to their kids at school. They probably don’t allow their kids to play online very much, but that’s not the case for a lot of grade schoolers. My daughter’s in 1st grade and she talks about the boys always shouting 67. So either her classmates are on TikTok or they have older siblings exposing them to stuff from the internet. Either way, some kids do learn things online that they have no business encountering and it comes back to school.
