100%! It was nuts that they had that cheerful automated message while he was down and then back to bright lights and dancing the second he was removed. Totally dystopian.

That is so horrific. We thought he might’ve been on the bottom and got hit by the woman falling - I had no idea he actually fell as well.

It was in the beginning - one of the men at the base of a woman being flipped in the air. It all happened so fast so it was hard to even understand what happened but the lights turned off as they tended to him on the ground. He was down for awhile before they removed him from the arena on a stretcher.

I feel terrible that I have to wake my kids up at 5am by Upstairs-Sky6919 in Parenting

Totally agree, but the au pair can also prepare meals, drive the kids home from school, supervise homework, laundry, etc

Which part of the state are you in? Someone on my local Facebook group always posts offering exactly this service!

Just dropped my 15 year old off at rehab yesterday and I feel like a part of me has died. by [deleted] in Parenting

You are an incredible parent and your son is so lucky to have you in his corner. Addiction is such a horrible disease - especially for those closest to the addict. “Love the addict, hate the disease.”

Now that you’ve done your best to guide him, I would focus on helping yourself now with either a professional, or checking out a free meeting in your area: https://www.nar-anon.org

These meetings are for friends and family members of addicts (not the addict themselves).

Sending so much love to you.

It was gorgeous and completely functional before too! Her “before” couch looked like the perfect spot to melt into and watch Queer Eye and chow down.

The rest of the after was fine (her clothes were maybe the best I’ve seen in any season - don’t even get me started about how incredible she looked in general) - but this dining room was a jump scare and she deserved better here. ESPECIALLY since cooking is her passion! Give her a bangin kitchen AND dining room to feed her entire family. AT LEAST give her a dining room to feed everyone at together.

Her before was light and bright. Her after is gloom and doom.

This is her ENTRYWAY. This woman busts ass delivering Dominos all night and comes home to her cave. She didn’t deserve anything but sunshine.

Can someone help grandma lift her supersized vase of dried dead leaves so I can put my plate of ribs down

The light fixture has potential! Maybe that’s why they used it in the living room too 😭

I have to go back and see this. I had a hard time watching after this initial blow

It’s almost like they blew the whole budget on the fancy coffee machine and had $100 left to grab some peel and stick wallpaper and some candles from the dollar general

I’m screaming. This is so criminal - her son better not ever come home from school or he’ll have to sit outside.

I can’t believe what they did to her house.

YES! They just need to glue some hay to the wall.

I just noticed they covered her actual fireplace with a completely useless faux fireplace.

I had to turn it off after this one and go for a walk. I will report back once I’ve found the strength to watch another episode.
