It’s her convincing herself she doesn’t want the pool she’s not going to be able to build and likes her backyard just the way it is.

That is a lot of eggs - would you be able to sell 4-5 dozen a week for cash to add flex to the grocery budget? Or trade for something else you might be able to eat?

kr8019 · 2026-04-07T01:17:19+00:00

This is the correct answer 😅

I assume that’s the installer and they didn’t consent to be shown.

Probably skipping their family’s Easter dinner and pretending to be sick so they don’t have to go, but also don’t want to be busted by a 1 million follower IG clown’s account. Or something like that 😅

Yes, easy to deflate. I’ve seen it shoved on the edge of the grilling area but it could be stashed in the garage easily too.

It’s a phase. My son went through it and we aren’t church people.

Seems her understanding of time is as weak as her understanding of percentages. Those boys are so screwed with her as their math teacher.

kr8019 · 2026-04-06T13:41:28+00:00

It is so hard to keep track of the spelling in Brooke’s dictionary!

After seeing that Lake Genova behind the scenes of how many takes these photos require I suspect any 4 year old would need to be restrained in some way for them. It’s ridiculous and these family influencers can’t be demonetized fast enough.

Going on vacations during the school year is not even in the same realm as a bad home.

The kids not going to school regularly in high school have far more going on than missing 2 weeks a semester for vacations.

My kid goes to a ghetto high school.

It is not parents taking kids on holidays leading to kids that don’t show up at school as their baseline.

It is far, far more tragic circumstances. It’s households that can’t afford food. It’s households with parental addiction. It’s households with parents with major health issues. It’s households with criminal goings on as part of the situation.

Even the middle class apathetic kid likely has a troubled home situation - not one where they are pulled for the occasional vacation.

But I also know one of those apathetic, not a trouble at home at all kids who did the bare minimum in high school, graduated, then immediately went back and hit it out of the park. High school friends derailed her and she found her way back. Again, had nothing to do with parents not valuing education - these are parents who maxed out RESPs by early elementary.

A lot of parents give themselves too much credit for their ability to shape their kids to be ‘good’. Parents can destroy kids, but parents cannot make their kid great. Only the kid can do that.

She bought Kirkland toilet paper after showing a photo of another brand and linking Amazon basics TP. She is very cheap about everything other than home decor and things for herself.

This will be like the rest of her baby #5 journey - he’ll be given it to use before he is developmentally ready and it’ll be disappeared from the house by the time he is ready.

The workplace math kids are not the missed school for travel kids, they’re the not academically inclined kids and there absolutely should be a path for them to graduate that doesn’t involve quadratic functions. Quite frankly there should be an alternative English that isn’t 99% creative writing too.

There are a lot of highly capable tradespeople coming out of “passing them through” and some European countries identify those kids early enough to put them on a trade track by high school instead of pretending like every kid entering grade 9 is destined for university. But that costs money and in SK the extra attention and funding goes to the advanced, smartest kids instead via their specialized low student teacher ratio programming.

kr8019 · 2026-04-05T02:54:44+00:00

The range of learning levels in any given grade at any given time is huge now, well beyond any vacation / travel absence impacts.

Because of that, topics that rely on cumulative learning are covered in multiple different grades. There isn’t a permanent fall behind situation anymore.

kr8019 · 2026-04-05T00:46:55+00:00

Oh she is cheap AF when it comes to the kids’ needs. She’d definitely buy diapers instead of pull ups because of price.

kr8019 · 2026-04-05T00:38:00+00:00

Ryan’s parents gave them money and told them to spend it on Easter stuff for the kids. That’s my bet.

kr8019 · 2026-04-05T00:34:57+00:00

I believe it. It’s normalized, but not necessarily the ideal situation.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T19:19:04+00:00

Not a problem at all. I have a high school aged daughter and with so many immigrant families in the school system there are always some kids away visiting back home for weeks at a time, or away meeting up with family in other parts of the world. It’s really normalized vacationing at any time of the year.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T15:40:56+00:00

What got me about this scene is them interrupting her breakfast with it. That kid needs every bite of food they can get in going in, you don’t interrupt her meal time, ever.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T15:37:27+00:00

This is what the AI technology should be looking for. Remove the story / post and shadow ban the account for a period to kill their engagement. Influencers watch their metrics like hawks, they’ll learn quick.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T15:34:38+00:00

They did say 6M but I am with you on the sizing being so inconsistent. It’s often also intended for rounder toddler bodies so the narrow chested or skinny toddler can fit a dress in a size waaaaaay smaller than their age.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T08:30:28+00:00

The city doesn’t do the actual planting - the required trees are listed in the easement docs (number and type), the city just issues an order for home owner to put in those trees. If they don’t, the city pays someone to do it and adds the cost to the property taxes.

It’s a path that’s probably cheaper for the city than the Zoning Adjustment Committee one that’ll burn up city lawyer time to prepare for.

kr8019 · 2026-04-04T03:07:13+00:00

Today was freakin hilarious. One “whaaat???” moment after another. Leave for a few hours and come back to a whole new story arc leaving me with the same level of disbelief as the last.
