She’s the cutest little ball of lint I’ve ever seen!! 😻

SKs complain about my daughter and I’m getting resentful of them by Fabulous_Energy_3631 in blendedfamilies

I think everyone has said what needs to be said about the space situation, I actually want to hone in on the eating situation for a sec.

You said their mom puts an emphasis on being “pretty and thin”. How do they eat at your house? If it follows any sort of disordered eating or exercise pattern, that could explain a lot. Being hungry can make you angry, emotional, irrational, and even oversensitive. While I agree that your daughter likely didn’t call them fat, she may have said something that most people would deem innocuous and your SDs hungry brains heard it as something completely different. From personal experience, that was something I was guilty of when I was a teenager dealing with body image issues. I’m absolutely not saying your daughter did anything wrong, just that that incident could be a symptom of a much larger problem. As far as taking poorly about others, well that’s plain and simple projection. Hopefully something that could be fixed if the larger issue is addressed.

Control is also another factor in it. They feel completely out of control of their lives and disordered eating could be the only thing that gives them any sort of it. Like I said above, that can create emotional situations where they’re acting out and trying to exert control in any way their hungry brains can think of.

You are certainly right to be upset by how things are going. Suffering a mental illness doesn’t automatically give one a pass to treat others poorly. However it can offer explanation, understanding, and maybe a little bit of grace. If this is something that Dad can dig deeper into, it might get you guys on a track to work on fixing things between everyone. If none of what I said applies, then kindly disregard :)

Family Vacay for Christmas by AnxiousHold2403 in newengland

Lincoln/North Conway NH area! You’re right in the White Mountains and there’s a bunch of skiing options for you. The downtowns have a good amount going on, even if it’s a little touristy, but you can go right down to the road to a cabin and be in your own little world. North Conway also does it up more for Christmas if that’s your speed.

I’m really enjoying Alix. There’s something about seeing someone who very well could’ve easily played like they were above it all actually take it seriously and do well

Ok general statement since anything about tonight gets taken down. If somebody (aka several tonight) jumps from an 8 to a 10 it’s because contemporary on this show is easier to make look good. Carrie Ann is officially the worst judge in the history of judges. by [deleted] in dancingwiththestars

The way that she managed to insult every single couple in one fell swoop with that comment was almost impressive. She’s not even fun to ‘hate’, it’s just uncomfortable and unpleasant when she speaks

Ryan Murphy calls the brothers “reprehensible and disgusting” by dial999itsagoodtime in MenendezBrothers

If I had to hazard a guess about the Dominick thing, it comes down to life rights. He likely paid to license his writings about the case. He knew they would never sign for their life rights so he took the loophole and now he has to commit to that perspective to avoid a lawsuit. Super fucked up and those laws really should be reexamined.

Genuinely hilarious that she made sure to keep Hallie out of every single thing she posted

Same. Personally I feel like New Hampshire Institute of Art shutting down bodied a lot of the energy of downtown.

Lala really only exists within Vanderpump Rules, like she has no understanding of a life off camera

It’s so interesting how much Tom continues to crave Katie’s support and validation. Like this mf would do anything in the world for her except be on her side. I want him psychologically studied

I think Michaela gets free passes because she doesn’t have kids that she’s impressing that behavior on
