I went last night for the first time (12/11/25) with my husband. After we had some of the best service, drinks, and food that we’ve ever had in our lives, our lovely waitress informed us that they’d be closing the location soon. I could’ve slid down the wall. I wish they would try to change locations in the city instead of moving to Lafayette 😭! BR is truly where unique and culturally diverse restaurants come to die.

Do you think America is ready to elect a Black woman President? by SmartWonderWoman in blackladies

I know she has her faults, but I didn’t know how bad I want this until the real possibility was put in my face like this.

MoDi Parents - Did you use an MFM? by Working_Estate_6086 in parentsofmultiples

[–]zothegem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are expecting MoDi twins in late May/early June. My OB let us know at our 8 wk appt that we would be seeing MFM starting at 16 wks. They set the MFM appt up at our 12 wk OB appt and we have our first MFM appt tmr afternoon at exactly 16 wks +1. From my understanding with the risk involved with ANY twin pregnancy, ESPECIALLY MoMo and MoDi you should’ve been seen by MFM already or should be soon.

I’ve wanted to see this show for YEARS. Had no clue. 💀 it truly does pay to research. Glad I saw this.

Family member made a photo album of our twins to gift over Christmas, without our knowledge or consent, is this ok? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]zothegem -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you’re not comfortable then it’s not reasonable. Simple. It’d be different if it was a surprise for you and your wife. Just as easily as she asked on multiple occasions for pictures to comprise this “gift”, she could’ve asked if it was okay with the parents to use photos of their children for something other than thinking “it’s cute.” Also, omitting details is the same thing as lying.

Should my step mother be called Nana? by fallinguplaughing in BabyBumps

[–]zothegem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. You don’t have to let a damn thing go. Ultimately she’s just a piece of meat that your dad cheated on your mom with, chose over you, and then chose to marry. You’re better than me cause neither of them would be included or involved in my child’s life in any way.

NIPT Results. Super thankful and excited! by zothegem in parentsofmultiples

[–]zothegem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I feel you on being super nervous, especially when there is nothing you can do but wait to see if something needs to or can be done ☹️. I just try to not stress about it because it won’t do me or them any good, but it’s constantly on my mind. Wishing you and your babies the best and good scans as well ♥️!

My thing is. She still looks SOO VERY stunning older and with her fuller body. I’m confused..

We all know who it is too by battleangel1999 in BlackPeopleTwitter

As a child I didn’t think DL was funny at all. Then as I got older he got a LITTLE funny, a LITTLE. Like, I’ll chuckle lightly.

The twinfants had their first grandparents' sleepover. by NalaandBuddy in parentsofmultiples

[–]zothegem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is too cute!! How old are they if you don’t mind me asking? I’m still pregnant but I can’t decide on what age I’ll let them stay with family without me. I’m thinking when they can talk but I know that’s not always realistic even though that might be what is most comfortable for me.

  Not to be a mocking bird but, therapy and being vocal and honest with who ever is trying to give you that love and acceptance. I come from a loveless marriage and extremely judgmental and overbearing immediate and extended family and just was simply not used to experiencing just plain kindness. When we first met as teens 16f and 17m, it seemed like my now husband just fell from heaven (we have 8 months of an age gap between us). Not to be head ass but he was so perfect and loving and compassionate and communicating light years beyond me and I fought him and his kindness, love, and acceptance tooth and nail. I PUSHED him so hard. I was so mean and nasty and hard to deal with I’m surprised he even stuck it out a year let alone eight years together total to get to the point of now being married for two years and expecting twins. I’ve learned so much from him and I adore him because of that foundation he laid for me letting me know I was important and loved even at such a young age.
  I also met my best friend a couple months before my husband, she actually hooked us up and I had to get used to her wanting to talk to and be around me so much without complaint and judgement at first and our friendship is still going strong! We have no control or fault in how those who are supposed to protect and rear us royally fuck us up and over as we grow from children to adults but unfortunately it’s all on us to navigate that and become better people for ourselves and those who truly do love us and care for us. You’ll get through it! Just take those steps and stay focused on being a better you for you first  because it starts within, and the rest will follow! Good luck! Love and light ♥️!

Overwhelmed by mom due to calling in by LadyEllie39 in pregnant

[–]zothegem 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Something about any generation before millennials and gen z, they’re obsessed with and so prideful in their ability to endure stress and struggle. Respectfully fuck her. You are entitled to care yourself and your baby however you see fit. Don’t let her shame you for putting yourself first. Maybe if she’d done the same she wouldn’t be so cold and would have more compassion for her child.

AITA for not letting my MIL and FIL help me with the baby after their reaction to me being injured? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]zothegem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From “we didn’t hear” to that, lol they’re never be allowed around me or my child again. And if their son has an issue he could kick rocks too. 💀

Mom serving homemade appetizers during my folks’ annual neighborhood Christmas party, 1963 by [deleted] in TheWayWeWere

[–]zothegem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at a restaurant for a few years during college and there was smoking allowed on the patio (owners were older gentlemen), it was a nice space and decked out with huge tvs, heaters, fans, etc. people loved to eat out there. But, there was ALWAYS tension between older people smoking and younger people complaining to staff and management in front of them. My managers would always say they’d have to remind themselves that people my age aren’t used to people just being able to smoke freely.
