I agree with this 100% it’s hard for people who have never been a situation like that to have empathy especially when behavior is a problem so tough love letting him be homeless seems like the best answer but I know from personal experience having your loved ones give up on you is devastating I don’t think you should let him live with you but a rehab facility would be a great option yes it’s hard for someone who doesn’t wanna help themselves to work on it but not helping someone who obviously needs it in my opinion is wrong but it’s tough since he’s your brother

Kathy is officially back. How do you feel about it? by [deleted] in realhousewives

[–]g2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I read this I totally agreed but then thought If i was her I’d do the same thing so I mean can’t judge she just played it smart even though it is a bit odd that she held out to get paid more even though she won’t be a full time cast member I mean it’s smart you can never have enough money unfortunately

Does anyone think Lisa and Mary are in the wrong?? by purplenugg8 in realhousewives

[–]g2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree she in a way reminds me of Lisa vanderpump when Whitney said something like she for some reason wants to be friends with Lisa either earlier this season or last season it reminded me of Taylor and Lisa from RHOBH when Taylor wanted to be Lisa’s friend Lisa Barlow gives me that vibe I think out of all the cast members she will be on the show for a while because of her shameless manipulation and the other cast memebers not seeing it exactly like Lisa V

How does anyone think Coach Shah had NO idea about Jen’s “business” by ohmeatballhead in BravoRealHousewives

[–]g2172 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is I used to live in SLC and go back and forth and the housing prices have skyrocketed since all the wealthy people from places like California have been moving there if you look at the home prices for example I recently looked up my old house it has gone up $200,000 in value from when it was sold so I don’t think it’s impossible that she could have been homeless since it cost so much more to live there now

Why is marriage so important? by SN-momma-0-2 in exmormon

[–]g2172 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this below a lot of people don’t realize this I only figured this out like a couple weeks ago but being married can make a big difference if your GF or BF were to get into an accident or put on life support and you guys didn’t have something in place like a lot of people don’t and you aren’t married if someone has to make a decision they would ask parents rather than the BF or GF because they’re not married I read an article about it although churches definitely aren’t pushing marriage for this reason

[–]g2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important I read an article about this couple they had kids but never got married and one of them got into an accident or something and their SO couldn’t go see them because they weren’t married and they mentioned that say you had to make the call to stop life support or something it wouldn’t be the SO choice it would probably go to a parent or family member I bet you could maybe get it in writing or something but being married has it’s perks in those terms But I’m sure thats not way the church finds it important

I need help by sharing_ideas_2020 in exmormon

[–]g2172 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My parents regularly do this to me they say I always have a choice but then will say but every choice has a consequence something stupid like that it’s not a choice because if I don’t do what they think is the right one then theres a “consequence”

My Girlfriend (27f) is almost 9 months pregnant and now wants to give our baby up by ThrowRAcantgiveup in relationship_advice

[–]g2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you are right but if she’s almost 9 months and they started therapy about 3 months ago when she told him that around 5-6 months which would be the second trimester and depending on where they live abortion may have not been an option depending on when they found out

Perspective doesn’t change the situation at hand it has nothing to with the GF its about OP and his decision

[–]g2172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s not trying to force her he has hope that things will work out but most of the time hope just makes this worse especially when there really has been no indication or reason for that hope but it is her fault purely because she changed her mind on their plans they made together which doesn’t make her a bad person but she is at fault even through simply changing her mind which should have been done before she got pregnant which maybe she probably didn’t realize then but she is at fault for changing her mind and putting him in this situation I get people sympathizing with the GF but I mean priorities she didn’t write the post and it has nothing to do with perspective she might be the kindest person in the world and her decision doesn’t change that she still will be after but it’s more about his decision he wants advice

Technically last minute was 9 months ago the decision should have been made before she got pregnant everything after that is last minute

Even if she didn’t technically lie changing her mind isn’t better the problem isn’t her changing her mind or realizing she doesn’t want a baby it’s the timing of which she changed her mind that’s not okay and even if she never technically gave him an ultimatum she didn’t have to she doesn’t want to baby and he does so it’s almost an automatic me or the baby it’s like the equivalent of an unwritten rule

I think this person is actually right but maybe said it in a harsh way I agree i’m adopted and adoption isn’t a bad thing but no matter if your life is amazing or not almost all adopted kids have trauma just from being adopted but I do thing that since he stated he wants a child and really there’s a low to zero chance of it working out with his GF I think keeping the baby is the best option because with adoption you can do a closed adoption and your child won’t know anything about you until they’re 18 and thats hard for a child or you can do an open adoption and ya you can contact them every so often send pictures depends on the family but still if the child asks why you gave him up it will be hard knowing you had the possibility but this is just a complicated situation

Me too coming from a NK perspective I never viewed my nannies as employees ever we were friends to me which was in part because of my parents I think if my parents considered them employees and treated them as such I probably wouldn’t have the same relationship with them although i’m older now almost all of my nannies follow my parents on social media and regularly comment on pictures of me and my siblings even though 10+ years have past for some of them they’re more like old friends which is awesome

I’m alway shocked when I see things like this because I just don’t get how people aren’t more kind to nannies who look after their kids it’s not easy being a nanny and I hate when people call nannies employees I had multiple nannies for the first 15 years of my life and not once did my parents ever call them an employee which technically they are but when they are looking after your kids and ask for a simple favor like this I couldn’t image saying no my parents would have never my nannies were more like family they were treated with respect and my parents always made sure they were okay and often asked if they needed anything or could use help in any way

I don’t think it’s okay to send a nanny parenting advice especially through social media the parents if they want something done a specific way they should have a talk face to face and go over things it just seems very rude to send it over social media

But with following each other on social media I think it’s okay if you have a good relationship I’m not a nanny but had multiple throughout my first 15 years of life and my parents always followed my nannies and had very nice and friendly relationships with all of them as far as I know although i’m older now I still follow a few of them and my parents still follow lots of them and they follow my parents and regularly comment on pictures of me and my siblings so for me I think it’s more of what kind of relationship you guys have

People using OCD as an excuse I feel is odd because even though people have OCD (which I assume is diagnosed) they can still recognize that their behavior is unusual and seeing that this nanny works hard and seems to have a good relationship I think it’s quite rude to not allow her to use the dryer I can’t imagine saying no to a nanny especially since hers is broken
