    If she's a model, it's because of her body.  But, she's going to get fat pretty quickly, if their date nights and diet always include macaroni & cheese and spinach & artichoke dip, and beer.  

    That is my diner tonight.  Thank you for shaming me, lol!

    We have some of them in our town. They appeared before the BOE when schools reopened during the pandemic because their little darlings found it just too uncomfortable to wear masks! The kids complained of trouble breathing, dizziness, headaches and *gasp* ACNE! Of course a lot of it was the power of suggestion coming directly FROM the parents

    Some?  Lucky you.  We have waaay too many at my now former school.  And administration caved.  Bye!

    When I think of helicopter parenting, I think of kids who are very successful but only due to their parents' interference. Emily's mother's helicopter never got off the ground. 

    What I KNOW about helicopter parenting is this:  You are creating a human who can't/won't do anything for themselves.  It is learned helplessness of the highest order.  I saw it hourly in my room.  "How do I sharpen my pencil?"  "What time does class end?"  Me:  It is May 13th.  I am not responding.  The daily schedule has been posted in the same two places since August."  There is a new term out there:  Lawnmower parents.  Worse than helicopter.

    Failure to launch is more like it with Emily...sure she can go to China but I am guessing her parents bought her the ticket and probably subsidized her stay there.  I bet with her out of the house it was the best time in their lives.

    Same with Jibri.  His time in Croatia was a slice of heaven to them.

    Virgin Cruises.

    What exactly is this commercial promoting about this cruise line? It's for parents of bratty, always-get-their-way kids that they have to take an exclusive adults-only cruise to get away from them?

    Okay, as a parent and as a teacher, I can guarantee you there is a waiting list to get on that boat.  We went out for happy hour a week ago and we led into an area that had two kids and mom and dad.  Kids (8 and 10?) were bickering over the Ipads, loudly as Mom and Dad ignored them.  I was like hold up, we can not be seated here.  We listen to that for six hours a day and I can't listen to it after work.  The server was very understanding and placed us elsewhere.

    Waaaay too many kids today run the household.

    I go there almost every year to visit my sisters.  I would love to get more inside scoop on where to sightsee.  I'll be heading over there in July, after a stop at my brother's cabin in Montana.  😊

    I sent you a PM!

    I found the optics of Kobe shoveling shit, while Emily and her mother supervised, rather unsettling

    Which is why I am done, so far, with this series.  Surely there is ONE PERSON in Sharp Productions who could say, "hmmmm.....maybe having these white people import people of color work for free seems a little, okay a lot, like slavery?  Then berate them (can't work for months) for something they have no control over?  Then threaten to "send them back" like they are a pair of jeans that don't fit?

  7. Can I just give a quick chime on accents?  Minnesotans do NOT talk like the female character in Fargo.  Maybe in some farm communities, but that was very exaggerated.   I do hear a "Deez dem houses o'r der" sometimes.   That was "these them houses over there, btw.   I have let out a "We are from Minnesooooota" once but I was talking to....a Canadian!"

    I love my state.  I could talk about it for hours.  If anyone wants to visit the Land of 10,000 Lakes, get in touch with me and I will show you most beautiful parts of the state!

    As someone who literally can't take her eyes off the road for more than two seconds without starting to veer to the side, I always hate that in TV shows and movies and all I can think of is, "Watch the damn road!" It finally dawned on me that Patrick has one of those self-driving cars, which I wouldn't be able to trust and would have total control over it.

    That is me with tv shows and someone is in a hospital bed and the siderails are down.  PULL THEM AND LOCK THEM INTO PLACE!  Grandpa could tumble right out of there!

      I think she does it to her whole family.

    See, and this is where Mrs. Buzzsaw Hanson shows up and says "Who do you think you are?"  at the neighborhood picnic.  Or....I would not go to the picnic as I find them all unpleasant.

    Yve, earlier: I gave up drinking, except for special occasions.

    Special occasion: Griping about Mohammed's intolerance and strict rules that she may have agreed to.

    If I had the Xanaax guy nattering on about a bidet and wanting me to convert I would have a BOX of tequila in my house.  And lots of ice!

    I legit cheered when Kobe told Emily To STFU. Bitch go get A JOB- find something to do with all that smugness as u squat at Mommie And Daddy's house as they pay for your live in fiance. Kobe get on that horse and RUN.  No one will be mad if u leave her and Mommie with poo on their faces.

    I bet the time she was in China Mom and Dad were celebrating every night.

  12. I am also concerned (why do I care?) that she is nursing him to sleep and not reading paper books to him.  I had two kids on my caseload who were in fifth grade (one should have been in sixth) who were still learning letter sounds and reading at End Of Grade One.  I asked, when you were little did anyone read to you at night?  Nope, I watched Youtube (or whatever God Only Knows) until I went to sleep.  I had no kids at grade level, and that is fine - my superpower is helping kids to read, write, etc.  But geezaloo!  I can hear her now:  "Why is my son not reading well?  IT IS YOUR FAULT."

    Off topic I know. I've always thought that most of the 600 pounders were the biggest and most demanding babies in the world.

    Some cannot walk or take care of their most intimate toilet issues. Meals are provided like magic, and if there's not enough food or it's late cue a meltdown. Some are in attention-seeking heaven when six firefighters are fawning and comforting them while transferring them to a ambulance. 

    I agree.  My hubby, who is really very kind, said:  "Let's all put them in a room together and NOT respond to the many demands for food.  Their attitudes would change quite quickly."

    My question is how long since someone mucked that stall, it looked neglected to me.  I didn't even see much hay in that stall, seems like none of the Family Emily likes to muck the stalls and waited for Kobe to do it all.

    I think you are exactly right.  You must REALLY not want to muck it if you wait for someone to come from Africa!

    Fun fact:  Back in 1990 I had a guy ask me out who was related the president of Cameroon!  I said no, just wasn't vibing on him in that way.

  15. Watched him tell her to shut the f*ck up and it was worth every second.  And Mom just stood there and watched, in silence.  That spoke volums to me.  

    Bile lecturing his wife was hard to listen to.

    Egyptian Tim is more annoying - if that is possible.

    First Look: 3/6/22; TLC Full Episode: 5/6/22; Discovery+ Full Episode: 5/6/22

    I am out for the season but always here for the snark, but I do need, not want, to see Kobe snap at Emily.  May have to get popcorn and a refreshing lemonade to go along with it!

    He benevolence knows no bounds - he also offered me the opportunity to sit in the fAnCy CaR since I'm currently slumming it in a Scion.  I do actually enjoy talking to him because I always get a good chuckle out of how out of touch with other humans that he is. 

    I have a neighbor who attempted to explain special education to me.  Dude, I am double licensed and will obtain a third by December.

    My neighbor has one and he can't stop telling people how the driver still needs to be "alert and present".  (All of us he talks to:  Um... yeah? Not new information...)

    So he was nice enough to mansplain driving to you?
