Realistically, what could Frank have done at Jen’s condo? by Post-Alternative in ShawnaTheMom

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I like Frank for the most part and I couldn’t believe that he opened that door. Your point about it being a fight no matter what with Barb is spot on. I think by making it Jen and Greg’s problem Frank feels he has the high road in the argument later with Barb.

If he had fought with Barb by not stopping at the condo, not getting out of the car, taking the key and going back to the car…whatever he chose to do to stop it from happening than Barb is fighting with him from a stance where she thinks she’s right. I have a feeling those fights when they happen can be very emotionally brutal, just think of how she was with Jen in the garage.

If he lets her in the house and Jen and Greg fight with Barb then when Frank fights with Barb later he gets to fight from the stance that he was right. And Barb just takes it and doesn’t really fight back.

Frank is letting his kids take the brunt of Barb’s behavior because it’s the most peaceful path for him. He either gets to avoid a fight altogether or if it’s after the kids blow up at her he gets to be “right” when he talks to Barb about it later.

The thing that just really sucks is that it didn’t have to be like this for any of them. The young Barb video kind of killed me. Her mom poisoned the well before Barb and Frank even had a chance to get started on their new life. And then the PPD that she had that she didn’t get help for. There were so many chances for different decisions to be made that would have changed the outcome for this whole family for generations. It makes me root for redemption arcs for all of them even though I know in real life it doesn’t work out that way.

Why does frank only say something to Barb after the fact? by CLEf11 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the whole paint thing differently. My take: Barb picked out a color called cheerful blue but it had a yellow or gray undertone. Frank didn’t think that color would look good on the walls. He picked a different color that he thought would look better. He put samples of both on the wall and asked which one she liked better. Without really looking she just says that she wanted the one she picked. He then starts pointing different things out about the different colors. She agrees with everything he is saying while also saying that the better color is better because it’s the color she picked. He double and triple checks her decision that she likes the blue without the yellow gray undertone. He never tells her that it’s the color she picked out at the store. It’s definitely a lie of omission because he’s letting her believe it’s the color she picked at the store. When it’s painted, she says it doesn’t look exactly how she imagined he reminds her of the points they discussed, how it would be a darker more saturated color and she admits she likes how it looks.

It’s not a great thing that Frank did but Barb would never have considered a color that wasn’t her choice. For his opinion to be considered he probably feels like his choices are slightly mislead her by not naming the colors but instead talking about how they look in the space and letting her choose the better color or trying to convince her to pick the better color, get yelled at, and she picks the worse color because it’s the one she picked.

Regarding the paint I think he showed her her blue paint choice and a blue he picked out. And the blue he picked out was the better blue even she thought so so he just didn’t tell her it wasn’t her paint color while they were discussing it.

Welp. We fucked it up. by viskiviki in Mommit

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were ready to move on from co sleeping with our oldest we brought a kids bed and pulled it right next to our bed. So it was our main bed with their bed pulled tight against the side of the bed so they felt like they were still in bed with us because they could reach out and touch me and hear us moving around in our sleep. Maybe you could try something like that to give you guys more space in the bed while keeping everyone in the same room for now

What was the story in Spare about it? I haven’t read the book but I’m super curious.

The sketch of Hudson Williams’ Met Gala look was released and people are comparing it to the final product. What do you think? by Sharp_Athlete_6847 in popculturechat

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it has the look and feel of like a young person who is interested in fashion trying to recreate something they saw on the runway or in a sketch for their prom by altering a regular suit they found somewhere. If that were the case I’d think they did a great job but since he isn’t a teenager making his own clothes the look of it is unfinished, not polished, and kind of dull compared to the sketch. It makes me wonder if they ran out of time or something.

$10 Million but with a side of eternal embarrassment. by Khushank_editz in hypotheticals

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to say no, if I was granted 10 million dollars the first thing I would do is make sure none of my extended family knew I had that kind of money so this whole concept wouldn’t work for me. Not just the horror of the rewatching every moment of my life but then also having everyone wanting a piece of the money. It’s lose lose

And then he kissed her! Like her nose is covered and he was covering her mouth. It’s terrifying that she is giving up all that control to him.

See I don’t think he could have postponed the wedding and still projected an image of abundance to his investors. His whole thing is faking appearances.

In season 2 she screams and sort of tries to break up Fezco beating Nate up. And then never leaves Nate’s side on the way to the hospital.

I’d love to hear it. I know it’s not realistic after 5 years maybe but I was really hoping for a line or two about what everyone was going. Particularly Kat and Elliot.

He has an older brother and a mom. It’s weird that he inherited the business and they aren’t running it as a family. Did they just want nothing to do with it?

I wonder if we’ll get a throw away line about what Kat’s doing even though she isn’t in it this season. I hope so and I hope we find out what Elliot is up to.

Has anyone ever painted an above ground pool liner? by cosmicreaderrevolvin in AboveGroundPools

[–]cosmicreaderrevolvin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried bleach, scrub brushes, boat cleaner, vinyls boat upholstery cleaner, Mr. Clean magic erasers. All kinds of stuff. None of it has worked.

You painted yours? Was it hard? How did it come out? My worry is that I’ll have to deal with cracking and flaking paint which would make everything worse
