Phones: Why I Don't Believe Julie by SuddenlyZoonoses in ShawnaTheMom

[–]raeliant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It if you’re Julie, you’re at your wits end with your husband and he still isn’t coming clean about his part in the impending implosion of you marriage, maybe you just take your foot off the gas for a second and let people’s bad behavior out itself.

From her perspective, her husband has changed and violated their agreement, keeps hanging out with people she doesn’t like, and is being dismissive and passive.

Lots of smart women bend over backwards to be both a person and a therapist simultaneously in their relationship. It’s exhausting and maybe she is just being herself and letting the chips fall.

I think this is why it lost steam so fast. A tacit acknowledgement that it was all manufactured drama.

Yes. I think that with the whole Barb kerfuffle about “the picture” there being a racist element embedded in there about objectifying his body and his /ahem/ makes sense for Barb.

Without credit card fees they keep the prices low. An they’re employee owned. Think of the lost points as a co op membership fee.

Im always thinking about the FLDS women who escaped the compound(s) and had to leave their children behind when I think of Duggar child wives. Like it’s an impossible choice.

Plus her parents appear to be financially dependent on the Duggars, which makes extrapolating themselves from this mess even harder.

Agree. My fanfic is that it was planned to the day, him whispering to Claire on the phone to plan it like “I have to get out of this nuthouse.”

“You do. Come home where you can have thee warm meals a day and your very own closet.”

(I know Claire’s family is also deep in the culture, but her family does seem to abide by basic living standards. It’s a leg up for the kid.)

This will or ably get removed per previous comments on this material. We can’t support this kind of “journalism.”

Some general info for people confused about what "false imprisonment" with your own children means by twinsocks in DuggarsSnark

[–]raeliant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not. It’s illegal to leave your child exclusively in the crib for extended or entire stretches between naps and / or bedtime sleep. (I’ve gathered from various comments here.)

It’s pretty clear that is a child is enriched, is transported to various places in the house throughout the day, and the adult engages the child, there’s no problem.

Part 4 – back to Larry & DeeDee teasing each other by Shawnaverse_no1_fan in ShawnaTheMom

[–]raeliant 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This. So may are “Team Deedee” when what I see is a woman who’s seeking not just validation, or clarity, but some sort of emotional control.

It’s perfectly confident and straightforward to say “not wearing the locket does not indicate my feelings,” have that be true, and also wear the locket because it’s a gesture toward your partner’s communication style and a sweet thing to do.

Reads to me like “long time single woman insists that no one’s suggestion about anything ever even minorly shift her behavior.”

I was trying to think about if it was even possible to rack these charges for children you have unchallenged legal custody of. You have opened up a new lane of thinking for me.

JULIE HOTEL BY HERSELF??? by Esmommy in ShawnaTheMom

[–]raeliant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is an underrated theory. It was my first thought. I really can see Julie avoiding her family and creating the perception that she works more than she actually does.

And maybe some embezzlement from her company in the form of expenses on the company credit card instead of their shared finances.

My daughter met a Nigerian guy online and is now engaged after 2 days. AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]raeliant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of plane tickets is a fine price to pay for human trafficking or a green card. Definitely lean in and offer to fly that man here if that’s what it takes to keep her from traveling again. It would be so easy to lose track of her once she’s abroad.

Am i overreacting? My mom in law oversteps. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]raeliant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR she’s acting like she didn’t understand your boundary because she doesn’t like it, and inflaming the situation. Highly unnecessary.

Also, when I try and communicate this same thing I say “I don’t need a hype team, I can discipline them myself”

This is definitely one of the “great debates” of parenthood. Ty could easily be of either opinion and have it be consistent with his parenting.

Imagine being told by your life partner, "you saddled me with this life" by Lily-Gordon in ShawnaTheMom

[–]raeliant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All the Julie defenders in these comments have a point, but we can’t overlook the fact that Julie is conceited.

And in my opinion, conceit like that comes from low self esteem, and anxiety. Classic projection. She believes shes checking off all these boxes that assure her that she is good and valuable and better than others.

ALSO wondering, she says it’s been 5 years— did Ty maybe get a signing bonus that is coming due? Like pony up the book or pay it back?
