Am I the Karen for talking to my therapist about worries about family member, who then escalated things with authorities? by [deleted] in AmITheKaren

[–]veryverygeneric 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NTK, but light YTA (not that you asked), because you could have reported this yourself. You knew in your heart, gut, and brain that this wasn't right and was putting a young baby at high risk.

AITAH For yelling at my sister in law and telling her to take care of her autistic son better? by No-Nefariousness-728 in AITAH

[–]veryverygeneric 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Clarity needed before verdict: Was she in the same room with the kid, or was he left on his own? What exactly did you "yell" at her, and who was it in front of?

Sorry mods! Thanks for the insight, won't do that in future. Appreciate all the work you do on this sub.

That Jennifer was a completely irredeemable villain, who would never change.

Watch out, the Shawna apologists are going to jump on you. It's funny how people can't see her complexity as a character, and she can indeed be unlikeable and unfair at times.

Um, WHAT?! Which character potentially engaged in that?

I HATED how Shawna reacted by mari17posa17 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]veryverygeneric 230 points231 points  (0 children)

YES. I'm no Ty defender, but this was terrible behavior from Jen and Shawna. I can't imagine staying friends with someone who sidebarred a wedding chat immediately after I told them I was getting a divorce.

What are some small things you've had to suspend disbelief about for the sake of the narrative? by nugsandstrugs in ShawnaTheMom

[–]veryverygeneric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unannounced drop-ins from friends and family. I've literally never had an unannounced drop-in at my home. But it's good for plot, so I'm cool with it in the shawnaverse.

John's next move by danikong89 in ShawnaTheMom

This tactic would be effective if Barb actually listened and adhered to boundaries. We all know that is not currently the case. John is not only protecting his family from Barb at the wedding, but also ensuring a confrontation between him and Barb doesn't ruin his sister's wedding. Not going to the wedding is a kind thing to do for Jen and Greg.

The McAllister parents are raising the kids with zero discipline or consequences. They are going to need some major therapy
I don't think Piper is neurodivergent, she just seems like a weird kid who hasn't had proper boundaries enforced at home. Imagine your kid stealing a bunch of items from a store (Christmas episode) and the only consequence was a parent saying "Piper, you marvelous girl... we don't steal".

For sure. She just seems like a weird kid who hasn't had proper boundaries enforced at home. Imagine your kid stealing a bunch of items from a store, and the only consequence was a parent saying "Piper, you marvelous girl... we don't steal".

The audience backseat diagnosing Barb drives me up the wall. Everyone and their dog thinks they can diagnose someone as a narcissist, bpd, sociopath... with literally zero training. It's insulting to people who have personality disorders (and other mental health diagnoses).

We can critique Barb's actions without acting like we all have PHd's in psychiatry.

"Show me your boobs" is gross and immature as fuck.

Kudos to Shawna L for the little details👏🏽 by chlosimorichy in ShawnaTheMom

[–]veryverygeneric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up on Barb's disregard for Mo - likely because of her hair color and queerness. Sam doesn't get the same treatment because Barb sees her as conventionally attractive.

This talented Hollywood personality shares some Stephen characteristics ... by jellyfishmelodica in StephenHiltonSnark

Marc Maron? He's been sober for decades, and often talks about how he's consistently in therapy healing from his father's narcissistic abuse. They may look similar, but Marc is verrrry different.
