    I enjoy the snark. I loathe them, believe me.

    Exactly. I'm bored, no money to go anywhere, watched pretty much everything on my DVR, house is clean...not much else to do but mindless bullshit to snark and comment on.  Doesn't mean I GAF in the slightest.

    So the card didn’t include Kylie, no Rob of course, no Kanye in the final,  but MJ was in it. Has she ever been included previously?  

    Why can’t they just get together, how ever many of them, have the damn picture taken and be done?

    I don't think MJ has ever been in a card before but it's possible bc I don't "keep up" with them every year.  And they can't just cram into a photo like regular families bc they are above all that and have to be over the top just like with everything else they do. Also have to show off their wealth. I saw a pic of Kris in a Gucci fur coat yesterday. So obnoxious. As if a regular fur coat isn't bad enough, this one had the actual emblem blasted all over it.

    No one does!  Birthdays for kids is one thing but for adults - we don't care.  I have friends who do birthday weekends.  LOL I never participate for I think it is ridiculous.

     

    Same. There's 365 days in a year and a gajillion people on the planet. Ones birthday isn't a rare, unique occasion.  I'm all for acknowledging it and celebrating it if you so choose, but there's no need to be over the top.

    I'm 95% convinced that Kendall was photo shopped into this Christmas card

    As for Kylie -  I think Kylie is using pregnancy as her opportunity to breakaway a bit.  I recall interviews she did where she said that once she started having kids, she would step back from social media a lot and I think she meant it.  Now yes - she still has her business and she has to advertise, but I'm not going to fault that (its no different than paying for commercials and such).   But I truly think that this pregnancy was her "excuse" to breakaway from PMK. 

    Obviously, the whole situation is a therapy session.  That being said - I'll give her 2.5 points if she doesn't turn into her own PMK like her sisters.

    I hope you're right. She's still young and now that she's having a child, maybe she can break free of her vile mother.  Kris sold her soul  for fame and money and isn't anyone I admire. When she posts about her kids accomplishments, she always puts #proudmama and it infuriates me. They've accomplished nothing resulting from true talent, intellect, or hard work. None of them studied chemistry or textiles, they've slapped their names onto something that someone else created (cosmetics, perfumes, socks).  Although to be fair, I think Kourtney and Rob do have college degrees, not sure in what though. 

    I don't know what their dad was really like, but it's a shame he died when they were very young adults, maybe, possibly, he would have advised them differently and we wouldn't be talking about them today.

    So that people can speculate and gossip about it - and keep it in the news.  Look at how many posts you have already made regarding this co-called "conspiracy theory". 

    Otherwise, it is a pretty boring, uninspiring picture that did not need all this build up. 

    I gladly admit to not having any clue what it's like to live based on how the public will react to anything in my life, especially something so common as having a baby. They've done a great job of staying "relevant" by manipulating their fans, and even non fans such as myself, but my interest is more bewilderment than anything else. And like I said above, it's obvious I need to re prioritize what I give attention to, I'm embarrassed that I know anything about their Christmas card and pregnancies.

    That whole white T shirt, jeans, bare foot, look has been done to death. Nearly every family that takes Xmas or group photos has one hanging on the wall. Some even change it up with different color T shirts or caps, but there is nothing original about the theme.

    there isn’t anything festive or cohesive about the picture. It’s just boring.  

    Kind of like family beach pics with everyone in white shirts and khaki bottoms. Done to death. 

    They've had some great pics in the past, but this years was a dud, almost grasping. And Kayne not being in the final one, when he was in a few others...wth?  It still baffles me that Kylie wasn't in it, they could've positioned her to where her bump wasn't showing or photoshopped it out if they didn't want to use that for her announcement. Same thing for Rob, no reason he couldn't have been in it holding his own child. He apparently was involved in other festivities. Also, why do I even care?  This family is vile, i need to reassess my interests in 2018.

    Unfortunately, there are people in the public foolish enough to believe this conspiracy theory.   But the Kardashians have always been about manipulating the public into talking about them, especially now that Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have dominated the news cycle - as they rightfully should.

    I just don't get Kylie being in seclusion, Kim and Kourtney got knocked up without being married and none of them are ashamed of their actions, so why now?  (Not saying this is something to be ashamed of, this is 2017 after all).  That's what makes me think there's more to this, it makes more sense to me than Kim and Kanye trusting an "outsider" to carry their child.

    I don't know whether to be amused or disturbed by the level of raging hate being flung at everyone in the family because Kylie wasn't the "day 25" pic. People became THIS invested over something so stupid?  Yes they're famewhores and this day by day reveal was stupid, but no one in the family even hinted or suggested that the pregnancy reveal would be through the Xmas card. Not even a "source" through TMZ. It was something people speculated and it blew up. The idea that Kylie simply didn't participate in the shoot never entered peoples minds? Like Rob who decided not to be in it?

    Not hate at all. But they are the most calculating fame whores ever so this would be right up their alley. And it's very suspect that Kylie isnt in the photo, she's around and involved in everything else. Rob isn't, and hasn't been for years so no shocker that he's MIA.

    As someone who has worked in social services, I have seen no reason why Child Protective Services would step in regarding May. They have very serious cases to deal with and this is not one.

    I agree. Sadly, Nicole is within her rights to be a complete and totally useless asshole, who makes poor decisions regarding her child. In the eyes of the law, she is not abusing her daughter. In the eyes of most of the viewing public, she's a shitty mom but that doesn't matter. From what little I know of DHS or CPS, the bar to being a half way decent parent is very very low. The absolute bare minimum is required of a parent. Nicole feeds her child, has a roof over her head with running water and electricity, and doesn't appear to physically abuse her. Anything else May (or any child in the US) gets is gravy. 

    And even if May was being abused or neglected in the most horrific sense, Nicole would be given all the tools, resources, and help she wanted to get her back. Again, she'd have to meet the bare minimum to get her back. That's my personal observations in cases I've known of, not personal experience, so i may be off base here.

  9. The Christmas card teases are boring, they are all starting to look the same.  They haven't shown the 25th as of now, they probably had to wait for everyone to konvene to post it so they can watch the Internet explode.  So much drama.

    something about Kylie's pregnancy and Kim's surrogate stories just seem off.  This family exploits EVERYTHING and these 2 situations are being kept under wraps,with Kylie being in hiding, but that could be for maximum effect when the time comes.  What few little hints being thrown out could be red herrings.  I won't be surprised if Kylie is Kim's surrogate, it makes more sense than anything and also why they are sitting on both stories.

    This would definitely be tax dollars well spent in ensuring sex education and availability of affordable low cost birth control.  Nicole is the poster child for what happens to young girls with no self esteem or impulse control, and she, her child, her family and society continue to pay the price of her being stuck in a permanent underclass. She’s 22 years old, and though college isn’t for everyone, she could have learned a trade.  Her lack of any sort of curiosity, her inability to plan beyond the moment, and possibly understand cause-effect / consequences might mean sex education and birth control information won’t stick. 

    Depo was $50 out of pocket with myACA employer plan and you had to pick it up Rx at the pharmacy, and then book an appt with a nurse for an injection. It shut down my heavy bleeding, but that was a lot of rigmarole to go thru for that when one works full time. It might be that difficult by design to make sure people plan ahead. Both politics and logistics have made most aspects of getting usable, affordable, and reliable birth control an obstacle for women. It may be different at clinics, or in other states, but that how it rolls in Texas, which is unfortunately not a champion of women’s reproductive rights. 

    Nicole can’t manage or properly parent the one child she does have. May is a beautiful child and deserves the proper nurturing and structure and stimulation to flourish. My fear is that she will impulsively try to get pregnant again to trap a guy. She needs to stop whingeing about what she wants long enough to realize her habits don’t help her.

    Amen to everything you said, esp your last paragraph. If I had a daughter like Nicole, as much of a pain in the ass as it would be, I'd gladly pay whatever I had to pay and see to it that she got her depo shots.  No excuses about not being able to get there, afford it or scheduling conflict. At the clinic where I work, when you get your injection, you set up the next appt. when you're checking out.  

    I hope May has a strong constitution and self discipline to overcome having Nicole for a mother. She's gonna need it.

    I find Andrei sexy. I am so ashamed to admit that. 

    Eh, don't be. I don't think he's physically attractive, but I very much like a no nonsense, confident, with a healthy dash of cockiness man.  Someone who can handle his business and knows how to handle me (not in any abusive way) because I can be a handful. That is a major turn on for me, regardless of looks.

    I didn't mind the way Robbalee was with Nicole, because I think she's really desperate to have Nicole see the truth. Sometimes people can only see harsh reality through others, so she was trying to get a reaction from other people in hopes of reaching Nicole.

    Nicole is a defiant toddler, not at all having the capability to handle her own life, never mind make decisions for May. She's being fed money, probably lying about where it's going, most likely not spending it on her young child, but sending it to a stranger in another country who she is desperate to forge a very toxic relationship with, while bringing her daughter into the mix.

    I'm sure they are very torn about either continuing to enable Nicole, or just let her go- & that includes 'Daddy Who Will Sponsor Azan'.   Maybe if May was not a factor, they would be better able to let Nicole act out & suffer the consequences.

    But of course the big whiney toddler will hang their granddaughter over their heads - dangling her like a piece of meat - "Don't give me money, don't help me, don't sponsor my latest boy toy, & I take her away from you - muahahahaha suckers!!", & that means to whatever comes after Azan, & after that...

    That poor kid is just a pawn in Nicole's selfish, self-centered game of getting what she wants.

    I just hope Nicole is on some kind of birth control like an implant or depo shot, something that can give me peace of mind of whether or not she'll have to remember to take a pill.

  13. This is probably going to sound ugly and I don't mean for it to, but May seems like one miserable child. Which is totally understandable, with having a big baby for a mother and indulging grandparents.  She acts kind of bratty, which again isn't her fault, just the result of her "parenting".  Too bad her real father bailed, he was the only person who would've had equal say in how she's being raised. Any other man won't put up with her mother long enough to impact her or will throw in the towel if he does manage to stick around. It's hard enough when the parents/stepparents are all mature and do what's in the best interest of the child, but trying to parent with baby Huey is any persons worst nightmare. 

    • Love 5
  14. Also, Robbalee needs to just give baby Huey a smug, knowing look any and every time Nicole threatens to haul ass to Morocco. As in, "by all means, go for it, but please explain to me how you are going to afford a roof over your head, childcare, and a work visa, all without Azan and fam?"  Because after seeing this show, no one believes he will marry her and so she won't be provided what she has here by his family. Doubt she can get public assistance there. Baby Huey may be hard to wrangle but no one should cower to her threats to leave.

  15. Your stepfather handled that very well. My fiancé is the same way with my 10 y/o son - he's there for him like a father and is as good to him as his own father but doesn't expect or command that my son think of him as a father, or call him dad. By doing so, their relationship has blossomed into one of mutual love and respect and my son thinks of him as his extra dad. My fiancé was smart enough to let my son adapt to him in his own time and in the meantime, be fatherly without forcing it. 

    These nitwits on this show trying to push and force these kids into something too quickly just breaks my heart.

    I think it's amusing how, like many foreign language learners, he picks up a pet phrase and uses it constantly. For Andrei, it's "and that's it." It's pretty funny and fits with his no-nonsense personality.

    Molly and Luis - no words, except that as a stepchild myself, I think forcing love and a connection between stepchildren and stepparents is not the way to go. Let them start out with respect, with civility, with friendship. When my stepdad first came into my life, I called him my guidance counselor because he helped me with driving, with financial planning, with other life skills. He did not try to force love and, in doing that, love did grow. But what am I saying? None of the people on this show inhabit Planet Reality.

  16. Aika needs to get over herself and wanting kids. She's had nearly 20 years to accomplish that and while I think Josh is a loser asshole, this isn't on him.  I wouldn't like being lied to, would resent the hell out of it, but I would also wouldn't be desperate enough to put up with that shit either.

    something was fishy about the fire station. I guess Chris had the electricity and heat turned on? And sheets were on the bed. I guess someone came by and put sheets on the bed? I guess he has employees in the area. I think the apartment itself is fine for their situation (homeless and jobless). A bed, a bedroom, a bathroom, a toilet, a shower, a kitchen and a  sofa to sit on. it's fine better than a dirt floor and shitting into a hole in the ground.

    Fishy situation altogether with that group. But re the firehouse, Annie should settle in and watch HGTV programs and get psyched for the endless possibilities for the firehouse. Maybe Chris would sell it to them and they could have something really cool to work with. It's not what I would pick for a home, but if I had to live in it, I could get real creative. Hell, the entire empty first floor could be made into an apartment and used for rental income.

  19. Josh should take the stones out of his (moms ?) ring, have them set in a completely different setting and give her her heart shaped diamond ring later, maybe for an anniversary or whatever. That isn't what she was promised, but it is a family diamond that imo, shouldn't be sitting around in a jewelry box. Use it for what you can, for now. If she's determined to stay with Josh, ol girl is going to have to learn to compromise and never have high expectations.

    I think your description of Annie is exactly right. She has no empathy because so few if any have had any for her. Her own husband doesn't even seem to realize that she's physically repulsed by him. If David Pour was really in touch with her emotions, he wouldn't climb on top of her at night. Sorry to be graphic, but that's the sad reality of her existence.

    Nikki has what Annie wants, and Annie's willing to do anything to get it. Chris was a sucker who signed on the dotted line. Annie's existence has been tragic, but it doesn't make her any less harmful, and David Pour was the one who brought her into their inner circle for ten years.

    Again, with friends like David Pour, who needs enemies? Chris needs to wake up and realize whatever guy he was friends with back in Kentucky is long gone or never even existed. The guy there now is more like David Disaster.

    If Chris was smart, he'd rip the rug out from underneath both of them right now. As it is, he's probably going to wind up paying for the wedding. SUCKER.  David will give him a rambling bunch of maudlin thanks, and propose a toast to Chris before getting inebriated.  

    Annie will leave David Douche as soon as possible.  What she doesn't realize is that Nikki and Chris, while being forced to support her, only have to do the bare minimum. Cheap apartment and mac and cheese for dinner every night. Every now and then she'll splurge and get a new top from K-mart along with school clothes for the kids.  David Douche will back out after the divorce with a bunch of excuses. "I'm on disability," he will shamelessly declare. "I can't possibly pay. I had to get my wheelchair paid for by the state."

    Wait till Annie has her first and second babies. Who do you think will get stuck with those hospital bills? What if she needs public insurance for her children? She'll quickly figure out that more babies mean more money.

    Annie is in survival mode, and she's very cutthroat. She's already angry at Chris and Nikki and she will bleed them dry. Don't think she doesn't have a few manipulative tricks up her sleeve.

    Annie is doing the only thing she's ever known to do. It would take years of therapy to break the shell around her heart, and that would be only if she wanted to change. She was mocking Nikki at their girls night out. "You didn't know? He didn't tell you?" 

    Same way with David Douche. He tried to turn it around on Nikki. Forget the fact that he's a big fat indigent. Nikki didn't know! Yo, David Poor, the bigger deal is that you're a big fat indigent!

    So, how much do you think Annie will cost Chris over the next TEN YEARS? $200,000? More? I'm guessing $2000 a month for the next ten years plus some other stuff if there's health insurance for the kids. What if she moves to California? Cost of living goes up, there.

    Chris, you shouldn't even be speaking to David at this point. You should be praying that she breaks the law so that you can send Annie home.

    Whatever it is that David Destitue has on Chris, Chris should just come clean about it to whomever he needs to come clean to, law enforcement included. Sometimes you can cut yourself a sweet deal by doing that.  Nikki needs to be thinking about it too, if she knows or is in on it. Bc I'd be damned if I'd fork over my hard earned money for the rest of my life on Annie & David.

  22. I guess the only comfort I can muster for Evelyn is that she's young and a virgin so unless she starts hanging out with some different, more worldly friends, she'll never know what she's missing out on re amazing sex with your spouse.  It makes me almost want to cry at the thought of her wedding night and the possibility that she may just accept that it doesn't get any better than that.

    +1 on both points.  Andrei seems like a guy who wants to do the right thing.  He brought savings and talks about getting blue collar jobs.  He is a realist.  Men who like to work get automatic points in my book.   Nothing to do with money, but more the recognition of the importance of work.    Libby is almost normal but still comes up with Primadonna shit such as "let's have a small wedding now and then have a fairy tale 2 years later".   I blame the parents.    Libby is going to run into rude awakenings when Andrei tells her, we are not buying a Lexus, we are buying a 10 year old Toyota.   Libby is spoiled little brat, but I think she has a few good values in her.

    Libby's father is either about to have a heart attack or has already started drinking heavily.   I could see that man drinking by himself late at night, either in the kitchen by himself or in his basement man-cave, wondering how did this immigrant thief, this bad hombre, stole his little girl.   He needs to man up and realize that you raise kids as best as you can and then at some point, you let them be.   He thinks he can craddle Libby all the way through adulthood, NOT realizing the ongoing damage he is causing.  Just let them be please.

    And to Libby's sisters, I could think of words I want to call them, but I just can't.   They are just mean and controlling.   I bet Libby's father grew up poor and then made a couple of bucks working hard buying home after home and fixing it himself.   He created an upper middle class life for his family and now wants to protect that at all costs.   But as I said before, as a parent, you can only do that knowing full well that at some point, you must let the kids be out in the world doing their thing.

    When I heard that I thought "destination wedding".   Libby is the kind of friend who makes you spend $2,000 in airfare and hotel, add the gift to that just so she can have her "dream" hour.  Fcuk your budget, Fcuk your life, Fcuck your credit....it's all about her and she's fully justified and laughing about it........

    Libby's sisters making the proclamation that she always gets what she wants, is hard headed...made me yell at the tv that I'm sure they don't put up with shit either and sure seem to enjoy the finer things in life. Also pushy about HER bachelorette party and getting their way. I can't stand her family, except the mom seems nice.
