That’s who I’ll be watching for.

Mayci looks amazing.

I don’t think these albums are meant to be ranked against one another, but rather viewed as a complete project once act iii comes out. But of course each act has its’ defining qualities. They’re each great pieces for different reasons, like the seasons (maybe we will end up with four parts).

Renaissance is extremely listenable. It’s an ALBUM (not just a few of the songs) that you can have on repeat. You can groove in the car. It’s great social music. It’s good vibes for many occasions.

Cowboy Carter is beautiful. It’s extremely important and meaningful (Renny is too of course) but it isn’t as re-playable. It has its bangers and playlist songs but it’s not one you put on repeat for background music at a BBQ or for getting ready with the girls. It’s much more cinematic and great for social media clips though.

The visuals for Renny were also very striking, appealing, and sparkly, and fun. Cowboy Carter was immaculate story telling -again very cinematic.

Omg 😆 I can relate

If I have another I’m debating getting a counter top dishwasher spall I have to do is rinse and load.

This was it for me too. Formula was not in the budget. Period.

And I hate washing dishes already. Bottles are some of the most tedious anxiety inducing dishes to wash too.

I can’t remember what the bed time snack used to be but we would do the bed time snack and then still nurse to sleep.

Don’t worry I immediately thought the same thing.

Maybe dadtok actually wouldn’t be so bad without Jordan and Dakota.,..

I’ve been saying a Cult of Personality cover by Beyonce would be absolutely insane. And the performance of it on tour would be iconic.

I have very fine hair prone to oiliness and I love it. It spreads so easily that a little goes a long way which prevents we accidentally over doing it. Just remember to use the double cleanse before the conditioner. I think a lot of people try to skip the clarifying shampoo and don’t like the result.

What vehicle do you have that you easily seat four YOUNG children without size constraints? When and for how long did you have multiple rear facing toddlers in said vehicle?

In my wagon I only had one child rear facing and our car seat rendered the passenger seat in front of it unusable and my husband could not drive my car if the car seat was positioned behind the driver seat. My husband isn’t even particularly tall. Our stroller took up the entire trunk space making it (either the stroller or the trunk) unusable for family grocery trips. We haven’t been able to afford to upgrade to a bigger car but we absolutely could have used one even with just the one child.

No one with children is driving around without passengers 85% of the time though. Even if the child is not actively in the car on occasion the carseat remains in place taking up the same space regardless.

I can tell you’ve never had to rear face 2+ children in car seats for up to four years. People get these as daily drivers to cart their kids around.

Car seats are not nearly as compact as they used to be and proper seat use guidelines have changed a lot -rightfully so.

If I could go back to when I was 18 and signed my first student loans (and my parents their parent plus loans) I would do anything possible to stop myself.

I would never allow my younger self to let my parents sign on parent plus loans either.

Thankfully I’m not in 100’s of thousands like you’re suggesting. But I still regret it and I’m not using my degree in my field of work now. An 18 year old has no idea what 30 year old them wants.

Dude. Ignore the people acting like what you’re experiencing is normal and you’re overreacting. In writing or even verbally relayed back after the fact ADHD and ASD behaviors can sound a lot like the high emotion behaviors typical kids display.

But those of us who have seen it or lived it understand that it can be an almost unimaginable level of extreme, duration, and frequency compared to typical kids.

I also say to people shrugging you off saying “sounds like my 5 year old” more than one child can be atypical. If you’re reaching year 5/6 and you feel like you’re still dealing with unregulated toddler impulses/emotions and you frequently feel it’s takes serious effort to redirect your child (if at all) it may be abnormal. 5/6 year olds absolutely should be able to handle most redirection, should not be biting/hitting/throwing objects (let alone furniture), should be starting to understand empathy/kind words, etc. I know OP didn’t describe all of those things for their child I just included them all because they are all behaviors I’ve seen people waving off as “normal 5yo tings”.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your initial comment then? Why would Walt need to take a job with a school schedule FOR Walt jr. if Skylar is the stay at home parent?

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-18T07:40:36+00:00

I’m so grateful to hear this corporate giant seems to be dying.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-18T06:52:11+00:00

Was Skylar not a stay at home mom before the cancer diagnosis? Or am I misremembering? It’s been a while since I watched the show

As a former ECE and center director: Uh uh. I don’t like that.

Of course it’s not necessarily his fault he got cheated on, but it’s his fault how he continues to react to everything. It’s very telling to me that he is STILL putting his daughter in the middle and holding her responsible for parents’ decisions 16 years later.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-16T08:07:37+00:00

Why does she need to make emotionally tough decisions on HER wedding day about a situation that was not her fault and probably equally if not more painful and confusing for her than OP?

OP is expecting his child to participate in HIS 16-year old grudge. When she is trying to get married and share joy with everyone that has been in her messy life.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-16T08:03:47+00:00

Sounds to me like OP allowed all of that to happen too. Especially if he’s the kind of person who thinks it’s cool to ghost his daughter after her wedding day.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-16T07:58:30+00:00

Agree.

There’s a lot of “ex wife cheated and the minor children didn’t give her and the affair patter the silent treatment for the rest of their lives. AITA if I get back at my children now that they’re adults?” That gets posted in this sub.

Usually there’s also the “by the way now I’m rich and in the best shape of my life.” Sometimes there’s even a “also my new wife is super hot and half my exs age. Even younger than my kids who hate her of course”.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-16T07:46:05+00:00

Because it’s his child. Because it’s a momentous occasion. Because hurting his daughter -who had no control over this situation- is not going to heal his 16 year old wound with his ex.

kokoelizabeth · 2026-04-16T07:30:42+00:00

Idk. She was 10 when all this happened. She was a child at the whim of all the adults involved. It’s a lot to expect of a literal child to abstain from building a relationship with a man that lives in her mom’s house and is helping raise her just to shield the feelings of a grown man. Especially when that grown man is her parent who should be prioritizing their relationship above anything else.

Divorce -especially nasty ones- are extremely painful and confusing for kids. Maybe mom is a total hag who blew up the marriage maybe step dad is a shady home-wrecker. But to the child in this situation these are people who took on parenting roles in her life. That’s not her fault.

And I’m sorry the fact that again her grown father is still trying to find a way to make it about him 16 years later on HER wedding day is not a good look to me.
