When Myrka said that he promised if she had the baby I had my aha moment... something like this...I’m pregnant, my mother says I cannot stay at home if I have the baby and she wants to take me for an abortion... Ethan’s parents are either anti-choice or pro-no-abortions-for-our-blood kind of folks so they promised her a life, a future and security if she went against her Mom’s advice. Myrka doesn’t feel love or approval on the regular from her distant and hard working mom.... so wow...a baby, an instant loving family, college taken care of when mom could never do it anyway.....win for Myrka, win for her child, and Myrka never gave a thought to what would happen if this didn’t work out because she’s too young to think about it that way...young and naive. Lawrence is a fool. He was so sweet when his boy was born but if he thinks for one minute that he knows an iota about what it’s like to parent......good luck....those two are really in for it...and IMO Aaliyah does need more discipline and structure and to learn what no means, but she cannot be micromanaged with her brother or she will despise him. They should have talked about this before the new baby arrived. They should be on the same page even if he is a step parent. It’s not a he’s mine and she’s yours scenario Tyra needs to get away from Alex she lives with her head in the clouds but he is a real jerk......a real true jerk I don’t for a minute see how someone who cannot tell the truth, who cannot say boo when it’s appropriate could ever raise a child he needs help and she needs self esteem and a job school online and help with child care....his grandma will be there for the little one. She sees it for what it is!! I was hoping to see little Luca this time...he is a cute baby Tell all looks very interesting from the previews!!

My hubby is a nurse and has cared for more than one young man who was unlucky enough to have to be circumcised as a teen or young adult. Two were because of raging infections. Once it was because of an STD. A couple of times the men have developed a condition where they could no longer retract the foreskin. These are not the norm but adult circumcision is also not extremely rare. The procedure as a child is a religious, cultural, or medical choice made for the boy by his parents. Like many of our choices they are stuck with the future outcomes. I’m not sure there is a right or wrong answer. We are Jewish. Our boys had a bris. They are grown men now and neither is upset about the outcome. And, yes, I’ve asked.

FYI https://www.jared.com/diamond-infinity-bolo-bracelet-38-ct-tw-10k-white-gold/p/V-174020406 its 799 on sale. If he went to a chain jeweler and did not negotiate he spent around that.

I can’t sleep...lol...so.... Clara and Ryan It is becoming more clear with each passing episode that Ryan needs to speak privately to a counselor and figure out why he cannot fully offer himself to his partner. Now, this could be production deciding they need some drama for this couple or it could be the reality that Clara is stuck with in this marriage. Time will tell. Personally, I could not live with a marriage like this one.... Brianna and Vincent. He does seem to lack appropriate empathetic responses to things that she shares with him. The light skinned versus dark skinned discussion and the insecurity that went with this was clearly either not understood or he is just cold. Her legitimate fear of complications during pregnancy is being skimmed over by him IMO and that is quite callous. I think he has a big ego and wants a very specific image of himself to always be foremost. If she is good with it all so be it...but in five, ten, fifteen years...IDK Virginia and Eric The look on his sister-in-law’s face said it all. Yes, marriages do not all look the same on the inside but the couple needs to be in agreement. I find it hard to believe that unless you go in with the expectation that this is to be an open arrangement most partners would be alright with their spouse passing out drunk anywhere, but especially with their opposite sex friends, for the night. I also think that Virginia needs to realize that trust is generally earned in the lead up to marriage and that because she is drinking to excess, refusing to bend where that is concerned, and admitting that she is not ready to put her husband first when it comes to her time she has in no way given anyone any comfort in that department. Eric on the other hand, needs to learn to express himself without demands and ultimatums. For example, she wants to pass out at her friends..how about, I understand that you trust these people, that you have done this in the past, but I barely know you and really do not know them at all. Can we make it a priority to both commit to the idea that we sleep at home, that if we are too out of it from partying we get an Uber or call each other for a ride, that we lean on one another to make this situation work so that it doesn’t cause a problem while we build this foundation? No ultimatums and no threats of things being over. I hazard to say that Virginia would not be ok with Eric exhibiting many of the behaviors she has....she seems to want stability and strength but has none to offer. Hayley and Jake What a mismatch. She is not ready to be a wife. She is so hurt by a relationship that she hasn’t been able to move on from...she needs help with getting past that. He also seems to have some underlying hurts but I think he is more ready than she is to move on at this point. One glaring thing that stood out to me was her descriptions of her behavior at four. I am currently parenting my four year old grandchild (she has been in our custody since 7 months old give or take) and previously parented three of my own. Who lets a four year old dictate these things? Seriously, mine would have put on the helmet, would have taken their swim lesson or would have faced a consequence of some sort. Time out, sitting in the car with me, not at poolside on a towel, going home and straight to bed time, no treats for a period...something. But, no child should be the one choosing in these instances. And please, what is the point of saying if they start something they have to follow through if you clearly are allowing them, even at four, to follow their own rules, to be a spoiled brat, and to not participate fully. This special flower sort of mentality that some parents have breeds adults like Hayley to some extent. She was so special that this other guy didn’t see it and left her at 20?? How dare he!! IMO this is why she cannot get past it...unpleasant things happen, we have to do things that we don’t always want to do, it’s called life. I understand that Jake is hurt by the fact that she didn’t even take the time to see that the gift was a bracelet. I also understand that after he told her it was an issue for him he might have expected her to rectify the situation. That said, she is so checked out that he needs to lower his expectations. I also get the impression that because she is so done he sees no point in engaging or putting himself out there any more. He probably feels like she picks everything apart because she is unhappy so I have no desire to give her more ammunition. Please note, I do not think Hayley is a bad person...I think she is a work in progress and with some good therapy she could change certain patterns and with the right person...someone very, very similar to herself in taste and blandness...yes, she’s more vanilla than say pistachio, pistachio...she could be a great wife. Work first, though. I also think Jake probably was less inclined to go out sort of looking for someone. Hopefully, he finds love. He’s not a creep, he’s not a big baby, he is equally unmatched, strongly desired for this to work, and wants a partner. I hope for the best for these two as the move on away from each other.

Such a little cutie. I hope they are all happy!

Before I comment on the train wreck, I mean show.... YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ALREADY KNOW YOU WANT TO MARRY THIS PERSON BEFORE YOU USE THE K1 PROCESS TO BRING THEM HERE!!!!! yes, I am shouting. These dolts need to stop with this well we have 90 days to decide what we are going to do..we don’t have a date, etc. the US citizen partner should have done some preliminary planning and this should be a done deal. I’ve known a few people who have used this process. They married rather quickly after their foreign fiancé arrived. That’s NORMAL. So.... Jovi and Yara vacation Jovi, the guy who isn’t around his enabling friends who enjoy laughing at his behavior and push for him to be a drunken fool is clearly the guy Yara wants...not this turd. She’s right to want to move away from there..not because NOLA is a bad place but because Jovi is not that guy away from there, she seems like a gal who would have said bye bye a long time ago if he was... Mike and Natalie who even knows what really happened. Did she do something crazy and he blew up? Did he get cold feet? Maybe he said he wouldn’t want a kid for a couple of years? She never should have come here and even if things somehow work out they aren’t a match made in hell let alone heaven..... Brandon and Julia His mom certainly seems to like playing them off of each other...she is getting her kicks for sure. He is a gaslighting jerk and needs to grow up a lot, like a whole lot!! Julia seems to genuinely like him and I was rooting for her from the get go....mostly hoping she’d come to her senses and realize that she is definitely marrying the whole family....the whole odd, bossy, judgmental, passive aggressive, down right scary when mad father family....... Tariq and Hazel. If this is the kind of marriage they both really want and the sweet little girl will be protected always..then go for it. Kind of hard to believe these two are one of the least innocuous couples this season. I feel for Hazel and really hope she finds a girl for them, and that they are happy I also hope she really can bring her son here someday. When he was sick and Tariq said get him orange juice and she said that his family couldn’t afford it I was so sad..he was with the dad because Hazel was so poor...the kid isn’t much better off there either..... Stephanie and ???? It doesn’t matter who she is with, they are all just pawns for her to play with If Big Egg had said ok Rose doesn’t want me, let me grab her sister or her cousin five hours later can you imagine the outrage...Stephanie is worse than Big Egg, she is worse than most of the sex tourists we have seen thus far....very disgusting...Very Rebecca and Zied I like Zied. I do not think he was being overbearing or wrong or whatever with wanting to marry sooner. I think he thought he’d get here, they’d get married and he’d get his paperwork started. He didn’t go to HVAC school to come here and not work. She needs to stop comparing him to her ex...it’s her fault that everyone does it so she needs to put down her big foot and tell those around her to stop it too...it is also her fault that they do that. It’s her family..she needs to set the boundaries, period. She is childish and immature and as everyone else has stated four marriages...she’s the common denominator. That dress is not a flattering style and it is not appropriate Zied said he’d marry her if they wore jeans..he just wants to be married to her...if she was mature she’d realize how very sweet that is...what a dumb twelve year old

I think maybe Andrew needs to watch a little more Sesame Street, some Mr. Rogers, Daniel Tiger and whatever other programming exists to help toddlers handle their emotions, remember to tell the truth, and have empathy.......I doubt it will help...but maybe taking him back to his emotional level and re-educating from there would help. He’s a mean two or three year old emotionally....give him a sippy cup, sit him down several hours a day and see if he learns anything...at least it will keep him away from other women and hopefully do it where he cannot be around the daycare kids.....I would NEVER let him near my little one...never.

THIS, exactly...she complains that he pays her only 500 a week. First, she absolutely has not been shown to work a full time week, second she spends his money all the time according to her own version of the story. So, go ahead, go make 1250 or 1500 a week...be there the 40 plus hours the job will likely demand..oh, and no more taking the boss’s credit card and spending well more than the extra 750 or Grand before taxes you are making..oh, and marry this rich guy and watch you taxes increase as well...so you will be working for even less. Stop whining about a guy who is more than generous, hard working and successful...you are not all that in looks or personality...sign the damn prenup and go be happy...make it work if you really love him..if not bye bye Dani. As for the others...Bri and Bill...lord, please he is an overgrown juvenile with a middle school sense of humor. If she likes that...good for her...but I personally think she likes the life he gives her and her family. Erica and the old yacht guy...apparently he loved her way more than she did him...and her family..a bunch of judgmental cows except for grandma....divorced and bitter and frankly pretty If I felt it 2as right I would move forward. Parents need to let their grown children live their lives. Of course, maybe she didn’t feel that his $$$ was worth it...I dont see love on her end. Vegas drink sever and rude and self centered rich guy...she did the right thing. hopefully she doesn’t go back and hopefully she moves on to a better career and figures things out. Rodney, the elephant in the room, and desiry. LMAO. OK then.......counseling isn’t fixing this one..... Nonie and Reese..he’s old enough to get hitched, to not want bio babies and to shower, trim up and find a job...Mommy needs to stop it already. These two have a better shot thAn some of the others...

I guess for those of us who have raised children into adulthood we have all seen rules broken...I didn’t kick my son out when he let his friends use our pool and jacuzzi while we were away for a night, I didn’t kick the other one out when he and his friends made some sangria type drink with a very expensive bottle of wine that we had been gifted, I didn’t kick my daughter out when she. (Well, she was never one to really break a rule...). They broke my rules and we worked on the why, the how, and the what you were going to do because you didn’t think the rules applied to you. Teens overstep the line all the time...ALL. THE. TIME. You do not throw your child out when it happens The son who let his friends swim..he grew up to be a bipolar adult who during a long bout of mania made a baby with a drug addicted sort of sex worker type....anyhooo...I am rising his child, his bipolar is uncontrolled, she cannot be trusted, the situation arose and we’ve had her just about four years now...she’s four and a half....I never thought I’d raise another child, but it happens sometimes...you pull up your big girl pants and do what needs to be done.....it may not be your plan, it may not be easy, but what about raising kids really is?

As a hot tub owner for about two decades now...you can absolutely wear clothing in a hot tub. You can have sex in a hot tub. Hell, I’m relatively sure each of our kids did so at some point as they were in high school or college, more than once....never thought to check for cloudy water to see if they had...I mean if you aren’t cheap with the chemicals and you are conscientious about maintenance you simply do not get cloudy water. Yes, heavy usage could mean water changing needs to occur. Things like sunscreen or moisturizers can cause changes in pH or build up that has to be addressed. Hot tubs do require water to be changed at times...sex is not usually a reason for this. They are more demanding to maintain than a swimming pool but it’s not hard and that woman is just a loon if she thinks that way. I almost hope that this crap with Brandon and Julia is all scripted because if it isn’t she needs to run far and fast...and never look back. The rudest most arrogant parents I think I have seen. Yes, you make the rules in your home, but for the love of all that is holy, she is here to marry your son, not work the farm as a free laborer. If you cannot handle your farm perhaps you need to reduce the number of animals you have...seems like an awful lot of goats in not much space, for example. You need to have a company that removes your unwanted crap come in and haul it Away. You need to consider selling the whole mess and going to a very rules oriented 55 plus community. Brandon doesn’t want that farm, Julia hates that farm. Honestly, I don’t think Betty and the jerk father really like the farm either. It’s a burden they are shouldering as the martyr parents that need something to leave to baby boy Brandon. I will end with this.....maybe they should really think long and hard about the way they are treating the woman who may be the mother of their grandchildren...she may just want to move very, very far away and never look back.....these people are just TOO MUCH.

We were assigned lab partners in chemistry 101 freshman year of college. We hit it off and have been married 34+ years and together a few years longer. When we got married our lab instructor found out and he sent a card shaped like a flask that said...see, I knew there was chemistry..... still have it tucked away somewhere. it seems like yesterday that I met him and thought his dark curls were sexy....he still makes me weak in the knees!

I live in NJ. My husband is an ICU nurse in Philadelphia. I am a stay at home parent to our grandchild that we are raising. I was a stay at home parent to my children most of the time. We do just fine ... and not bragging but our house is probably several hundred square feet larger than Jamie and dougs.

Karen forgives him? For joking about a normal part of marriage?? and now she’s ready to just move forward...talk about manufactured hurt and rage!?!

The Humane Society should rescue those poor cats...cruel...disturbingly cruel. ( we need a vomit emoji)

Ours was March 21...We had our medallions, everything was ready to go. It was cancelled just days before we were to sail.. I was so bummed but totally understood....we have one booked this March...highly unlikely we will be able to go and then November 2021, and April 2022...hoping we can resume cruising by then!!
