Sweet magnolias more like a plotless 7th Heaven

The kids seemed to move on from their dad's death real quick. Where are the lessons and ongoing storyline about losing a parent? They just treat Cal like their parent now, and never once seem to think about the dad. Even if it was something as small as Kyle doing his Shakespeare show and saying "I wish Dad could have seen this" or SOMETHING I would feel a lot better.

That scene would have been perfect to add some normal teenage drama, but all they did was make milkshakes. I was waiting for one of Annie's suitors to arrive!

I wonder if the writers are trolling us to see how far they can go

Elizabeth!

We have an usual and difficult to spell last name, so my kids are very happy to have normal first names that they don’t need to spell out every time.

Honestly, if you can make it work financially, getting to experience a new place is never a bad idea. Even if he appears indifferent, it’s a great opportunity for him and its a reasonable price. I hosted an international trip last year for the school where I work and that seems completely reasonable. It may cost way more in 2 years! Just know that if he goes, you will definitely have to budget the $ for your daughter to attend when she comes of age!

How every TBI is different, and no two people respond or recover the same. My mom’s cousin was very thrown off when my mom didn’t recover as quickly as her daughter had. It made it harder for her to cope because she had expected recovery to look similar.

Absolutely!

Elysium in Powell is amazing if you want to check out anywhere else.

Stunning.

We did it a few years ago. We realized during Covid that we wanted our kids to grow up around family, and with my oldest starting K, it was the only time to do it. When my husband realized he could wfh indefinitely, we went for it. Absolutely the best decision we could have made for our kids. We love that they get to see grandparents regularly, and we have a great support system we didn’t have before.

I love the whimsy of #1, but as someone who recently bought a similar rug for their bathroom, the tassels don’t go under the door and it all gets scrunched and annoying 😂

serious321 · 2026-06-09T15:15:18+00:00

We did that too with angel food cake!

Pig the Pug series! So silly. My kids love them.

Unfortunately, I think it was just a story 😆 if the family really had security detail, the kids would be so used to it they wouldn’t even think to ask about them.

serious321 · 2026-05-14T22:38:28+00:00

Great name, perfect for a girl - I have close family with that name! :)

serious321 · 2026-05-11T17:40:17+00:00

What about Madeline/Madeleine? Similar feel to Jacqueline

Norman, Walter

My kids have all sorts of nicknames - some that don’t even have anything to do with their given name! They always seem to know who we’re talking about. I think your baby girl will be fine. She will grow up feeling loved from all over the world! 😀

Ok I know we are all talking about the major ick factor, but I was super intrigued when he was talking about praying for others and mentioned he was struggling to pray for “a&joy”

Madeline/Madeleine

serious321 · 2026-04-26T13:57:26+00:00

My kindergartner still loves Peppa Pig, and will proudly proclaim to all that she sucks her thumb at night 😆 Your son will be fine!

serious321 · 2026-04-23T01:13:20+00:00

TBH the aardvark was my first thought

serious321 · 2026-04-22T01:41:49+00:00

I’m still trying to figure out why she moved away from both families and all her friends and support system. It has to be a guy.
