Greenville, NC food lion vibes

Hillary

Lmfaooo I just moved away from Wilmington NC so the hampstead shoutout was hilarious for me. Definitely food lion energy lol

I’ve always told people and now also my son that no one is ugly, they’re just not your preference or type and there is someone for everyone. And sometimes someone you don’t find attractive could become attractive over time once you get to know them.

The “no kids” story really struck me a bit. The mom CHOSE to be a mother, I understand that being kicked out and being neglected as a child and in turn raising a child is insanely difficult, but her daughter didn’t choose life. I had a mother who gave me the whole world, was a single parent, struggled with finances, sent me to private school and everything , but would in turn tell me I was basically a financial burden and just manipulated certain circumstances. I am gay, I have a wife and my mom took 6 years to come around. But she didn’t try to take her own life because I had a different plan for my life …As an adult now, my mom has grown and understands that I deserve to live my life for myself and not for her. This mom is just unfortunately throwing a tantrum bc she didn’t get what SHE wanted when it’s her daughter’s life. I feel for the daughter because this manipulation tactic is so emotionally, physically, and mentally shattering. It’s sad all around… but the daughter doesn’t deserve to hold on to this pain/weight/and pressure. Parents are to raise their kids to be good people, hard workers, and all around good humans…. Not to relive the dreams they couldn’t accomplish themselves …

Fun fact; In Norway we do have names that would translate to "Rock", "Storm", "Bear", "Thyme". Nature names :)

My childbirth experiences were amazing!! Pregnancy wasn’t my favorite but the birth was so wonderful!

Story 1 is sexual harassment. Simply because the list exists. Everyone on that chat needs to be disciplined.

Itscydddd

Ye I have too agree. If guys had made the same list and forgot a girl I’m sure she would have been more caring. I get the sarcastic humour though as a Brit.

Jack Previllon

Sometimes I forget we have the same first and middle name lol Morgan Ashley Kelly is my full. Growing up in the hospital for long-term periods of time people would accidentally called me, Megan or Kelly. Don’t know why lol

Morgan kelly

COMET!🥹🐴🐎

I worked at a school for a couple years, some of the most unconventional names we got were: Rook, Lemon, Denim, and Captain. Yes you read that right, someone actually named their kid Captain.

To what Madison said about the mental health issue: This exactly! We can’t truly know how the mom would have really reacted had she healed and had the help she needed. It’s possible she’s a great person with serious mental health issues she needs to have resolved and it is incredibly unfortunate her daughter was caught in the crossfire.

Sarah Michelle

I can see the mom being sad, but that’s not on the daughter whatsoever and she shouldn’t have expected her daughter to have kids just to live out her fantasy. Also she needs some serious mental health help which it sounds like she’s getting.

Sarah Michelle

I feel for the mom because of her mental health issues and how she struggled but not for her kid not wanting kids. That is not why you have kids, and like they said it’s not on the daughter to live out the mom’s dreams. She’s a human.

Sarah Michelle

It’s so accurate 😂😂😂

Sarah Michelle

My nephews name is Benjamin Maxwell and the name Benjamin has been passed down on my BILs side for like 4 or 5 generations. He’s been Max his whole life just so he never got confused who people were talking to when they said Ben 😂

Sarah Michelle

Can't get over the name story and how he got downvoted over and over. I'm a bit like him where I like unusual names because I never met another girl with my name until my niece and always loved that as a kid. I will say as I get older I'm way more willing to compromise for a classic name than I expected with the idea that it can have a unique nickname or something. That said, my husband and I have had such an easy time compromising our different values for eachother. I don't get superior choice because I'm the mom. We talk through them all and sometimes you have to give options time. Some names that I initially hated I came around to or liked for middle names.. Same on his side. What helped us was giving "meaning" to the name choices. He like classic so I included my Great Grandmothers name. He didn't like it off the bat but when I explained it was my granny and I would want to call her by a more modern nickname, he was 100% on board. Just sounds like the wife needs a wakeup call to compromise and reddit didn't help this guy at all.

Im so off topic here but I am finally hearing of another person with hip dysplasia as an adult! If you ever do consider the surgery, I had my right side done in Jan of 2022 at 24 years old. Its a ROUGH surgery just due to the recovery time. You dont walk normal for around 6-8months, everyone is different but for the first 6 weeks no weight at all not even pt until cleared after 6wks. However after the worst side was done, I likely will never have to go for the other side.

kylie foradori

The food lion energy comment is so fuckin funny for those that understand it 💀😂😂 so real

Amanda

Loved the name story! We named our daughter Louise and we call her weezy! It wasn’t planned, it just happened once she was born and we spell it like Ouisi because we’re ridiculous lol

sami

I agree, its so insane to put that kind of guilt on someone let alone your own child. and what if her daughter was unable to have kids, like medically? cant even imagine what crazy sh*t her mom would say to her, but it would probably be cruel

brookie bear

My mom went through a very traumatizing life and sacrificed a lot for us, but she’s happy with whatever we choose bc she’s proud as long as we’re doing what we love, and doesn’t care if we choose to have kids, get married etc. I just think parents should care about a lot more in their child’s life than just marriage and kids, which is amazing as well but everyone has their own path. But I understand mental health is part of the issue, the mom needs to find therapy to understand why she’s reacting this way.

B 🫶🏼

This is what I am saying, she was in a psych hold for a month… that’s unheard yes you can be inpatient that long but a hold where she continued to try to harm herself and others. This isn’t her ‘being disappointed her daughter did live up to her standards’ this is someone who fucking had nothing left and had a break. I work in MH as a SW and some of these comments and takes make me so sad. The mom is not rationally choosing this, her brain needs help, it’s not an ‘extreme reaction’ it’s a mental health CRISIS. I think you have to view both peoples feelings separate in this situation. Their hurt can both exist simultaneously it doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Madison Webster

Maybe this is cruel of me, but I don’t feel empathy for the mom in the “no kids” story at all. My mother was adopted and when I was born I was the first blood relative she ever met. I don’t feel like a person my mom loves. I feel like a symbol of something she always wanted. She loves the idea of me, not me. I feel for the daughter so deeply.

Katie Stecklair

Totally get that. I think that's her sense of humor and just trying to be sarcastic/funny.. she should never have any ill will

i have 3 by my house

i love food lion

Arch

Not a big commenter and I may get some flack for this but I was not a fan of how Kerri voiced some of her opinions in the first story. Hearing the first words be have you tried not being ugly was like whiplash. It may have been meant as a joke but isn't that what the girls that made the list did. This isnt the first time comments like this have been made about guys in stories by people on the show either. Maybe I am totally misreading things but as a guy it didn't feel great hearing that kind of comment and attitude.

Callum Timings

The story about the guy who was left off of the hotness list: bare minimum, this is a hostile work environment. The manager who was involved needs to lose her job, the low level employees get formal written warnings. This is 100% lawsuit-worthy

Hel Baker

Honestly, i might be biased from my own experiences but I’ve had family members that have done stuff like this to try and get their way. That doesn’t mean they don’t need mental help they absolutely do but they also can not be given any form of validation/empathy. They use it to stay stuck in their manipulative mindset. “Someone understands so I’m not wrong you just don’t want to understand how I feel” is something I’ve heard A LOT until they finally accept the help they’re getting. Mental health is really hard & some people need a cold shoulder to push them to accept help. You give them empathy and love after they realize what they did was wrong and take accountability. You have a good heart and I don’t want you to think your empathy is wrong it’s just not what the mother needs. She needs a bit of tough love.

Mariah Dowell

Do you not feel this was more of an extreme mental break?

Two Hot Takes

I get parents can have disappointments in their kids life choices but I just don’t empathize with manipulative people. That’s exactly what they want & they use it as fuel to continue thinking the way they do. Her logic is not right at all, it’s manipulative and controlling and not something that should be validated in any form.

Mariah Dowell

I'm not agreeing that it's right but I can mentally track her logic. It is not the daughter's responsibility to live for her mother at all. When I read these stories I try to dissect it in everyday I can.

Two Hot Takes

That comment was really gross. I'm glad the other girl is being logical and said what she did. "What was it all for", to have a daughter you love. You don't need a big family. For all she knows, they could have a family a different way. I really didn't like Morgan's take, and then her backtracking

Hailey Hoffman

Saying “what was it all for” made me feel disgust. I pray her daughter can find healing and knows that she is not a pawn for the mom to live out the life she truly wanted. She made her bed she needs to accept it.

Mariah Dowell

Agreed. I might’ve been a little harsh on my wording so I deleted my comment. I have a grandmother who is like OPs mom. I had to limit contact with her bc she refused to understand that just bc she had my dad does not mean I owe her ANYTHING. My mom sacrificed a lot for me and my siblings but never put that on us. She takes accountability for her life choices and understands that we are our own person with our own wants & dreams. Her only want for us is to be healthy and happy. Regardless of what that looks like for each of us. OPs mother is manipulative and sick, there is no empathy for controlling manipulative behavior. Defending it is weird.

Mariah Dowell

The story about the mom harming herself: You don't raise a child just to have grandkids in the future and it's gross that Morgan is agreeing. She should be happy her daughter is happy, not upset because she doesn't get to use her daughter for the big family she wants. The only person that is valid is the daughter.
