Has Taylor made any direct posts about how she feels as a mother since she has lost so much time with her son? I can’t imagine losing my toddler and only seeing him supervised 8-12 hours a week.

I personally know one person who very briefly lost their toddler during a custody battle for two weeks. I witnessed a complete shut down as my friend mourned & missed her child and how unfair it was. Luckily it was very short lived.

I don’t see Taylor showing anything. She does pick what she wants us to see but I can’t understand how she has picked to see what she has and not missing Ever.

Last thing does anyone know why she names him Ever?

Hey guys, my girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and she has told me she has always wanted the blue dress that the Mormon housewives wear in the intro to the show can anybody help me out and find her that dress?

For reference, she is about 5 foot 1
Ways about 124 pounds

Exactly what the title says — have the “friendships” between the women always been this messy, with ever-shifting alliances? Or am I just figuring out how tangled this web is because I only joined the subreddit a couple months ago and I’m sipping the between-seasons tea?

AFAIK Taylor is cool with Jessi and Jessi’s cool with Mayci but Taylor isn’t cool with Mayci or Mikayla and Mikayla isn’t cool with Jessi who Miranda now isn’t cool with either. Taylor is somehow cool with Demi who appears to be cool with no one else. Jen? Who fucking knows. And Whitney’s outta there, of course. So the villain of season 1 appears to be the most level-headed and normal of them all in some ways?

I cannot keep track. Was it always like this?

With everything going on, I decided to go back and watch the show with more informed eyes 👀 I think the conversation at dinner after the pickleball event (towards the 3/4 mark of the episode) is super eye opening regards Taylor’s view of the other women and the show. They are discussing Demi’s “fan favorite” comment and TFP is shown in an interview saying “you think you’re the star?” This is cut in to her talking very defensively, to the point that she shuts down Layla from defending Demi, to say that none of the women would even be there if she wasn’t “fucking dying on the floor being vulnerable”.

I truly believe that TFP believes herself to be above all the other women because she admitted on TikTok live about the soft swinging and got the eyes put on momtok. This is absolutely why TFP is reacting to Mikayla’s comments the way she has. She thinks these women should kiss the ground she walks on because she “told the truth”. The delusion continues to baffle me!

Do you guys think the reason why Jessi has hooked herself onto Marciano is because she has to make all the fighting with Demi and Jordan worth it? It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Demi and the lawsuit, also we haven’t heard much with Jordan, so I wonder if she pushes content with Marciano to make it seem like she’s the “winner” (by winner I mean that she received the most positive public perception) between the three of them (her vs Demi/Jordan).

Thoughts?

I don’t know why but her buy a 7 bedroom almost a million dollar house pisses me off. I hope she’s never on my tv ever again and she gets the help she needs.

I often find myself thinking of TFP’s “traumas”. Mostly trying to figure out exactly what’s happened to her but I tend to come up with the bio dad stuff. Do you know the others?

Here's my real issue: She has the luxury to wallow. She can afford to spiral publicly because there's a cushion under her like family, money, an audience that validates her. Meanwhile, so many people (especially in marginalized communities) experience worse abandonment, worse poverty, worse instability, and they cannot slip. One mistake costs them their job, their housing, their kids. They have to compartmentalize and keep going.

So when Taylor constantly centers her "trauma" as the reason she acts out, it feels tone-deaf. It feels like someone who has never had to face real consequences for fragility using a relatively mild wound as an identity.

I'm not saying she doesn't hurt. I'm saying: Other people hurt just as much or more with far less, and they don't get to act like this. At what point is it just an excuse?

Curious if anyone else feels this way, or if I'm being too harsh.

I see so much of an old friend in Taylor. Someone who from the start is fun, likeable, and charismatic. Someone who at the start you wonder how can anyone have an issue with this person?

The longer you spend with them the more you see the self-sabotage, the need for admiration and praise, impulsivity that at first was funny but then becomes disturbing, and in all seriousness the living example of anxious attachment.

Friends like Taylor are EXHAUSTING. Always trying to support them through a drama they dug themselves into. Trying to be supportive to someone who is seeking constant validation and unconditional support from everyone in their lives makes it impossible to hold friends like this accountable. I genuinely feel for those in her life trying to call her out for her behaviour in an attempt to help her, but they are in a losing battle. She will condemn them as being unsupportive rather than take on any feedback. And I’m not talking about Mikayla’s statement - I found that too “how can I make this about me”.

At the end of all of this she will be alone. If losing custody of your children isn’t enough of a wake up call to change your behaviour I’m not sure there is ever going to be one.

Most of the girls hate each other there’s no group I don’t see them making another season after 5 (if they even finish 5..) Taylor has gone crazy , Jessi is on the outs with almost everyone and the other girls except mayci and Mikayla aren’t even close
