I really wanna upgrade my rainbow riders to suregrip boardwalk but my size is sold out everywhere except for derby warehouse. I read reviews and other posts about it i guess i am hoping to know more personal experiences?

Thanks to this sub i found out about suregrip boardwalk! I was gonna stick to moxi but it seems like suregrip is also a great and more affordable option. Honestly had my rainbow riders for about four years and i attempted to learn twice before (2022 and 2024) but i always gave up. Anyway im very happy to say I finally stuck with it and for the first time i dont fall on my bum the second i stand on my skates. Im very excited to learn more and to upgrade my skates!!

First time watcher. I just finished season 1 episode 7 where regina killed graham. I read spoilers that say regina doesn’t even get punished for everything she does in season 1 and no one actually finds out she killed graham. That information alone annoys me a great deal lol. Apparently her “punishment” is redemption??? Im only seven episodes in and i already hate her so much so learning that she doesnt even suffer makes me wonder if i should keep watching. I like the rest of the characters and stories, even rumpelstiltskin. I just dislike the idea of regina getting away with everything. What do you think?

On my third rewatch of season four and ive never been more invested in Sophie’s story (also didnt cry this much on my first and second watch).

I started to read about how sophie’s life would’ve turned out if her father had lived, or had araminta been a good person. I never understood this before, but I learned that sophie would’ve been raised/known as a respectable ward and raised as a lady (but not technically a lady). How with her dowry, she would’ve been able to marry well, not to a viscount, but for instance to a second son who could use her dowry. However since Benedict comes from a very wealthy family, would sophie still have been an acceptable match for him had she been raised as a respectable ward? And if society would’ve accepted it? On the other hand, they probably never wouldve fallen in love had sophie’s father lived, but i still would like to know! Its still devastating to think of the damage araminta caused on Sophie’s life and how long she got away with it.

I love this community and i love reading about other people’s stories here. It makes me feel better knowing im not alone.

Me and my bf have been together for almost four years. Neither of us want children, we’re both very sure of it. We agree on all the reasons why we dont want children. We live together and have two dogs. We’re pretty happy. My mom visits us most weekends so we see her a lot.

She has always casually talked about very specific scenarios that involve my hypothetical child. This started happening more since my younger brother had a daughter. Like once or twice in the past i casually told her im not having children when she mentioned it and she’s never taken it seriously.. until about three weeks ago when she brought up stuff about my hypothetical child (again) like how my younger brother still needs financial support from her for his daughter (not gonna get into it) and said she’s glad me and my bf isnt gonna be the same once we have a child. I finally told her in a more serious tone that im never having kids.

I could tell she finally believed me because of how she reacted. The first thing she said was that it was a disrespectful thing to say. Dont remember much after that, but since then she would bring it up every freaking chance she gets. Like when she’s talking to my brother on the phone and she sees me she’d just be like “your sister doesnt want children”, or she walks past me and be like “my friends who are at a certain age already have a hard time getting pregnant, you dont have a lot of time left” (im 26), and this happened multiple times “you’re gonna have an extra bedroom when you move it’s perfect for a nursery”. A billion times of how she want a grandchild from me and how its a “waste of genes”. I told her you already have a grandchild but she apparently really wants one from me. She would talk about how the grandchild would keep her busy🤦‍♀️ told her so she basically wants me to have a child because she has nothing better to do?! She would just not say anything. We would be on the phone talking about something else entirely and she would still manage to bring it up.

First week was fine like whatever, but at this point its starting to piss me off so bad. For the first time i asked her not to come over this weekend because we have stuff going on (we dont). I also hate that its making me think about how this disappoints her and definitely will disappoint my dad (they dont talk so he doesnt know yet). I know im not supposed to care what other people think but i do care about what my parents think just because i know i already disappointed them a bunch in the past (I graduated college late and i know they hated that, and other things in my life that isnt really worth being proud of). They’re honestly good parents they just really want me to have children. Im not gonna be changing my mind but i just wish it wasnt this hard for my parents to accept. I dont care at all what my friends think. Most of them just say “you’ll change your mind” anyway.

Sorry for the long post. Honestly i didnt plan on telling my mom this soon. I figured we were just gonna let years past by until they realized there’s not gonna be any humans coming out of me. I messed up telling my mom too soon.
