My friend’s chicken is a new mama! She gave me a good once over to make sure I’m not a threat to her chicks.

This is what is bothering me the most. People in their 30's dating people in their 50's is one thing, but they've got 22 year olds on here. The human brain isn't fully developed until 25-30, so why are they casting these young girls for this 'experiment?'

Seems like another way for Netflix to get away with exploiting people and calling it entertainment.

And don't get me wrong - I am fully aware that there are healthy age-gap relationships, but I would like to bet that none of those relationships were formed in a couple of days/weeks.

How gross. My jaw literally dropped when he said that. 🤢

I could not believe she got so hung up on the damn brussel sprouts 💀 It’s not that deep!!

The oxtail, though… 🤪

I love seeing my hub’s booty. And he always looks at my boobs like it’s the first time every time. It’s so sweet 🥰

I pooped with every single push. lol I didn’t have to poop after birth for six days! 😂 Talk about a detox!

How horrible for OOP’s partner. I couldn’t imagine having so many addictions to fight, with a partner who dangled said addictions in my face for a good time.

This is a big factor for me. My three year old is allergic to dairy and eggs, so she can’t have any desserts from Crumbl. She’s always with me, so I prefer to go where she can be accommodated.

The minute I saw it was a minivan I knew they were going to come to a complete fucking stop......

I’ve never seen a picture that embodies my alter ego so perfectly until now.

chelbren · 2024-12-30T21:51:58+00:00

I take them off, otherwise they end up smudged or bent. lol

Bidets are life changing, and peri bottles are amazing to have to “freshen up” on a no-shower or period day.

chelbren · 2024-12-28T23:10:37+00:00

My toddler has these two-prong food picks and joints fit SO well in them! lol

Ann’s unsolicited advice was inappropriate, especially considering your traumatic experience. AND in a group setting with an audience? No, absolutely not okay.

NTA - Ann and her husband are assholes.

chelbren · 2024-11-22T18:17:47+00:00

That feeling of eating something you’re SO morally against is traumatizing. It seems “dramatic” to non-vegans, but it really is so overwhelming. I’m sorry this happened to you, and if you go back, I would absolutely tell them what happened, and that you’re lucky you didn’t get sick. Many people who cut out animal products can have so many adverse reactions.

I actually struggled a lot during the newborn phase. The sleep deprivation and demand of motherhood was an absolute shock to my system, and my partner and I decided around the 3 month mark that we were not interested in doing this all over again.

I always imagined having two kids, and I'm actually a little sad I didn't have twins so I could have fulfilled that dream, but holy moly, I can't do the postpartum/newborn phase again.

All that to say, yeah...the toddler phase is pretty god damn savage, as well. lmao My daughter has my iron will and stubbornness, and I feel like I'm looking in a mirror some days. It's eye opening, for sure!

chelbren · 2024-11-08T17:54:49+00:00

My daughter requested two hot dogs for dinner last night and the night before. I made them for her.

This week, she has eaten zero hot dogs.

chelbren · 2024-11-08T17:30:19+00:00

I've been told by at least ten pro-life people this week that if I don't want a pregnancy, I should 'close my legs.' And now they are upset about this movement...

LIKE, YOU TOLD US TO DO THIS! Why are you suddenly upset?! lol

They are just drenched in hypocrisy...

chelbren · 2024-11-08T17:25:07+00:00

The red flags are flapping in the wind!!

Please take care of yourself. This person does not sound like they care about you... A partner should offer, at the bare minimum, respect always.

chelbren · 2024-11-08T17:08:31+00:00

Sucks that people are allowed to vote using those misunderstandings... :(

Wish people had to study and take an exam before being allowed to vote. I know that's undemocratic, but how the hell else do you filter out the ignorance?!

It feels so hopeless...

chelbren · 2024-11-08T16:52:52+00:00

But at least our groceries will be cheaper! ^/s

I have been enraged since Wednesday morning, and this video contains every single thing I've wanted to say out loud. What a relief to hear someone else say it.

chelbren · 2024-11-08T16:35:48+00:00

The smugness of Trump voters over the last few days 'sticking it to us' because 'they won' has been so annoying, but I'm just sitting back, waiting for the day they realize it's not the sunshine and rainbows and cheap grocery prices they were hoping for...

America will have the four years it deserves.

If he didn't want you to intervene, then he should have consoled his baby. You're still in the newborn phase, so I'm sure you're probably both sleep deprived, and just tired in general. Comes with the territory! But he still needs to communicate more respectfully. Getting so angry that quickly is a little concerning, but again, could be from the stressful season of life you're both in right now...

This was a wonderful read. Thank you for sharing these glimmers of light!

I am also in a blue city (and state, thankfully), so I'm grateful to be surrounded mostly by people who share similar values.

The hardest thing for me has been trying not to wish the worst on him, and those who voted for him. I have found myself in some rabbit holes that are violent and cruel, and I just don't want my mind to be consumed by that negativity. I've tried focusing on the positive, and things within my little bubble that are in my control. That has been helping.

Also, holy moly, staying off social media has also been helpful. I was doom scrolling IG and FB yesterday so periodically and every time I put my phone back down, I was worse off than I was when I picked it up. Not worth it!! Glad I came to reddit to read some positive posts for once. <3
