I wish they would stop trying to immediately couple everyone up. Why aren’t any of the people on this show allowed to just be….single? As it is, they focus more on coupling versus fleshing out genuine character traits and storylines. Its boring.
As many of us mentioned, so many of the couplings feel forced, lack chemistry and don’t make a lick of sense. I want meatier storylines and less romance. If there was less focus on coupling, maybe we’d see Naomi in an actual courtroom, or even her own office. Maybe we’d see Dani actually doing some…idk modeling stuff not in her living room or Uptown. Maybe we’d see Kat fully leaning into her podcasting role or even she and Chelsea in a damn design showroom CREATING. Let’s let Deanna be crazy and fully go down that route without trying to set her up with another character we don’t even care about.
There’s just so much more potential to flesh out besides these damn who’s screwing who storylines.

I know I said I was going to take a break but I binge when bored. But help me out. So Ted….spoke his mind to Nicole….about how…. he feels as though….she’s icing out Carlton…for Kial…..and now….viewers have to sit through an episode….of…Shanice and Ted….and Nicole and Dani…..discussing this RIDICULOUS FREAKING TOPIC THATS NOTHING BUT GOSSIP BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE RECENTLY DIVORCED AND ARE REALLY WAAAY TOO DAMN COMFORTABLE BEING IN ONE ANOTHERS BUSINESS!?!?!

So, who do we write to again??

Now I tried to see both sides of the Kat refusing to get tested argument. A lot of folks was saying she wasn’t refusing to get tested because of the bad blood between her and Eva, its her choice (and is), she just scare, and blah blah blah. But in the scene with her and Smitty, she literally just said “I mean, I obviously don’t want her to die, but come on. We hate each other. And being trapped together didn’t change any of that.”

How can people defend this?

***Edit to answer the “would you get surgery for a complete stranger” question. My answer is an unequivocal yes. Jesus said love your neighbors as you love yourself. We’re supposed to help others. We’re supposed to forgive. It’s not “love others unless…or love others until…”. So despite history, if Jesus gave His life for me and I call myself a follower of Christ, I’m donating to a stranger/my husband mistress/whoever needs to live. It’s a moral issue, not something that’s so easily black and white and boiled down to feelings.

Now- I do agree that Kat must have some type of medical phobia. But I can’t just get behind the “woe is me, think of me, I don’t like her, what about me” in this whole situation.

I’m all here for Dani p poppin in the elevator with Bill cause baybeee…this Hayley and Bill storyline needs to cease and desist! Let this be the tryst that pushes it to its finale.

Also, I’m a sucker for toxic love (not in my life but def on my screen) 😂😂

For context: I have four boys; 16, 12, 3 and 19 months. My three year old attends preschool four hours a day, four days a week. We have a standing appointment every Friday morning somewhere else. My spouse leaves at 6a and is home at 6:30p (he goes to the gym then to work).

When at home with my 19 month old, I spend time teaching, playing, and then working on schoolwork and other things that keeps me grounded. Once all kids are home it’s the typical routine of life with cleaning, cooking, prepping for appointments, school, bed, etc.

Between ADHD, peri, and having two kids back to back, I’m the heaviest I’ve been in my life and I’m just- tired. I try to go for walks as much as possible but some days, I’m not up for it. Some days, the littles are not up for it. I’ve joined gyms to either not go because my schedule doesn’t permit or was thrown off or because I’m tired. I have a treadmill and weights at home, however it never fails that when I carve out time to workout, I’m constantly interrupted by the kids and a 30 minute workout easily turns into a one hour workout that I’ve had to stop and start multiple times due to disruptions. Then I get frustrated and quit.

I toured the YMCA as an option but didn’t care for the childcare area as it seemed crowded and didn’t smell like it was cleaned regularly. I tried early gym mornings and late nights. I considered going back to those but honestly safety is and was my biggest concern (I may be overthinking). I’m ready to become active again but need some suggestions and maybe tips to get out of my own head and get started.
