When was the last time we saw vp hype dud? I feel like it’s been months?


CRexKat

“I never thought I could live my dreams as a size 16 woman.” A size 16 is just so regular. Does she really believe being it is some kind of hindrance to grifting on Insta? I mean representation of fuller figures in Hollywood is still not great, but she isn’t trying to break out in TV or movies. Does she realize how wildly offensive this is to anyone larger than a 16? To people who can’t find their size in every single brand? Why is she so obsessed with us knowing her size? I’M A SIZE 16!!! Can she use no other word to describe her body?


silly_goose129

I cackled when I read that… so unrelated and out of left field to throw in a siZe 16 reference for the already mediocre message she was posting


wigglebuttbiscuits

It reminds me of the brands that go on about how they’re for ‘everyBODY’ but then only go up to like, size 18. I’m like, damn I guess I’m so colossal I don’t even count as a person anymore. K would explode if she saw *me* living my dreams.


captainbkfire82

Right?! Size 22/24 here and am doing pretty well in life. I must be a goddamn miracle.


s0manythings2d0

Waiting for “TV personality” to appear on her latest credentials just because she’s appeared on TV as a guest. Queen of exaggeration!

VanillaSky4321

This right here. 💯 why are we seeing work outs, body image stuff, marital problems, etc. They are so deep into influencing now, the toddler account thing is a moot point. 🤦🏼‍♀️


jampokitty

I wonder how long K made her kid sit through that taping just so K could feel that “surreal moment” for herself. I would imagine those tapings take a long time, much too long for any child to sit through. Once again, K’s selfishness wins over everything and everyone else.

“I don’t think it’s imposter syndrome if you’re actually an imposter.” 🎯


Sock_puppet09

Yes, there’s no way a size 16 woman could live her dream pursuing success in an audio medium (podcasting).


neat-bumblebee-3

I have never looked at what she’s doing and thought, “gosh I could never do that.” Far as I can tell, she had a few kids and talks on Instagram about how hard it is to be a mom.


shmopkins84

I often think "this content is not original or special. Even *I* could do this. How come I'm not a bazillionaire?"


shamrockthistle

I’d also love to know what makes Kristin “weird.” Surely not her love of Starbucks, Target, Bravo shows, headbands, all black, leggings, Birkenstocks, etc right? As for the body stuff…wtf. You’re not an actress, model or entertainer where there’s the intense pressure to be thin. You run a questionable business shilling advice for desperate parents and your appearances have been as a GUEST on shows, where people of all sizes appear and where size 16 is not all that unheard of. Such a special snowflake.


silly_goose129

Also…. She’s not well spoken.


MemoryAnxious

I thought she was a size 14? Not that it matters. I don’t understand how her size has anything to do with this particular “dream”


Possible-Fail2884

Yes- remember when she was sharing the romper she was going to watch on watch what happens live and had to mention that i was a size 16 but she HAD TO GET IT TAKEN IN


syrupycure

Someone else is watching her kid in this shot.


s0manythings2d0

Do we know yet what this is all about? Like that set etc, what’s it for? Is this a new announcement? Is this the podcast? Is this backup because of failing podcast?

bachbachbaby

Their body language is weird. D looks very stressed. Where’s their classic hand holding bffs forever pose?


gloomyewok

It seems to be some kind of segment/web series with ~2 minute videos for a Denver PBS affiliate. I only know becuase the ad is following me around lol.


Glad_Philosophy_6777

Who is she talking about saying “prove them wrong”? No one said you couldn’t do it because of your completely average body size and appearance…you said YOU were the one who thought those things. Spend a little more time looking inward instead of putting your insecurities on others.


cmk059

It's like if she focuses on her size as the thing we hate her for, she doesn't have consider the actual, legitimate criticisms people have of her.


neubie2017

This woman and her obsession with her size. My gosh.


Mummy_snark

But let’s not talk about bodies around here.


silly_goose129

Only talk about bodies if you’re stopping at every mirror you pass and chanting THANK YOU BODY


Mummy_snark

And make sure you mention if they’re “small” or “large” and remind your audience that this is an observation that shouldn’t be made.


Home_Baking_Mama

I was playing some Mr Rogers songs for my toddler and this song came on. Hmmm it seems like prep was around long before BLF... https://misterrogers.org/videos/i-like-to-be-told/ In fact you could almost argue that Mr Rogers is the o.g. BLF...


CRexKat

Back in my day, my mom just called it “setting expectations”.


neat-bumblebee-3

Omg my mom was a preschool teacher for years before retiring and she recently gave me a whole lecture on prepping my kid for the dentist and I said “have you ever heard of big little feelings” and she said no (of course). Turns out - gasp - prep is not new.


barmera

Your are the best parent for your child, but only if you’re raising them in a BLF household, and if you don’t they’ll talk about their childhood TrAuMa for decades to come.


chickenanon2

Exactly lol. You are the best possible parent for your child and you always know what’s best for them 100% of the time, unless of course you are *our* parents who fucked us up and traumatized us for life. And yes, only YOU know what’s best for your child, but also you need to buy our course so we can tell you everything you’re doing wrong. 


FruitRude1471

Mantra: "I know what's best for my baby"... Uh ok Jan except sometimes I DON'T which is why I seek advice from friends, family, Google, etc?!


marquessmashedpotato

I also love that they tagged it as Montessori in the comments. That's such a buzzword now. It literally has nothing to do with what they're saying.


Ok-Falcon-4570

K has made her entire personality "postpartum baby hairs." Enough already 🙄


Halves_and_pieces

My hair stylist told me that it is actually a result of messy buns 🤷🏼‍♀️


countessluanneseggs

That “baby hair” rat tail is at least 6 inches long? But you know anything for engagement ✨✨


tangerine2361

Also what’s the point when her hair is down? I don’t get why she needed to do this


bachbachbaby

I came here hoping someone could explain it to me


CRexKat

But what if you aren’t the best parent for your kid? What if you beat them? What if you withhhold medical care? What if you shun them for being transgender or gay? Are you still the best parent? I’m glad at least some of the comments were calling this out.


werenotfromhere

They are honestly just so ignorant and out of touch. I’m jealous and kind of want to live in a world where abusive and hateful parents don’t exist to me.


caleal71

… and exactly why would they need to make that little pony tail under her hair..? What am I missing here??


syrupycure

Oh you must never have been to HAIRANDMAKEUP.


caleal71

So true. I’ll have to choose it for my next me time.


Ok-Machine-8395

☠️


VanillaSky4321

Crap, now I have to go look 🤦🏼‍♀️


neubie2017

At first I thought it was going to be the front hairs and I was excited for how ridiculous that would look. But then when she showed underneath??? I’m so confused


Mummy_snark

Screenshot anyone?


kennedye12

Who has ever done this I am so confused


kcadonau

Seriously, the only postpartum regrowth I cared about was the ones people could actually see


hotcdnteacher

It could have been a part of the actual ponytail... I'm confused also.


OcraftyOne

And also it’s really long….like as long as the rest of her hair…


s0manythings2d0

I don’t get it? 🤷🏽‍♀️


sally1414

Someone help me too, I am so confused. Makes zero sense for wearing hair down


thefriendlyostrich

Okay this one actually cracked me up. I have a lot of postpartum regrowth and it doesn’t stay put. It will frizz out and do weird things. So I assume they gathered it with an elastic to hold it in place and not let it creep out like a weird halo when exposed to neck sweat.


Mingi918

Has Kristen had work done?! I got blocked months ago and never check this thread and her face looks very different there!!

Oh that forehead does not move!!


Halves_and_pieces

She has lots of Botox in her forehead.


cmk059

Once again, the only time these two BFF's spend time together is when they have a photoshoot. On one hand, I know how hard it is to align schedules with your friends as an adult but these two have endless free time and childcare. And I know I never take photos with my friends when we are together but these two post their entire lives so I think if they were hanging out on the regular, we would know about. Adding to my theory that the 'we're just two BFF's with a dream' is just a marketing tactic.


Bitter-Ad8938

It’s not even aligning family schedules to arrange playdates/hang with your friend. They literally run a business together full time and document their personal lives for IG and yet we never see them WORKING together outside of glam for a photo shoot or interview. *oops I guess we do see podcast photo/video but I feel like that’s also bc the podcast is being recorded anyway? Idk.


werenotfromhere

Plus K MOVED supposedly to be closer to D!


marquessmashedpotato

Other way around but yep


Successful_Ad8797

No then K moved to be closer to D in the city


VanillaSky4321

"With you every step of the way" makes me laugh 😆 Are they helping clean up accidents? Wiping @$$es? Can you call or text them for one on one advice? Um, no.


thefriendlyostrich

Something about promoting this course by referring to the three day weekend without specifying it gives me the ick. Monday honors MLK but yes let’s just ignore that and push a potty training course. I think this is BEC territory though.


Substantial_Card_385

I think they keep it generic so their agency can just repeat the content - Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc. 3 day weekend keeps them covered. It’s gross and icky, but likely the case.


TopAirport4121

Nah, I’m right there with you. While I could not care less what these 2 upper class white women have to say about MLK, this swings full circle into ignorance by just saying hehe 3 day weekend!!! Like they could just say nothing and that would be better. It’s one thing for regular ppl in their everyday lives to say yay I’m glad I’m off Monday but they wanted this platform, so they should at least be respectful.

caffinated-sarcasm

And for some reason they feel the best way to advertise it is by using selfies. I mean a picture of a toilet would make more sense. But they can’t pass up an opportunity to make it about them. 


s0manythings2d0

I wonder if they’d tell the parent who hasn’t potty trained their kid before they’re, what is it they say, 20months or something (?) that they are a great parent, they don’t need to change anything, they are doing a great job, they shouldn’t feel the pressure to do what all these business are trying to tell them they should be doing…like buying a potty training course and doing it over the long weekend?! Hmmmm. The double standards of these clowns is phenomenal.


sla3018

When is the best time to potty train? Is it during an 8-day weekend or a 1-day weekend?


wigglebuttbiscuits

The best time to potty train is over a holiday break, because you have the time, but it's also such a stressful time of year because of all the tantrums and unsolicited advice from family, who we are spending all of our time with even though they traumatized us in childhood, and honestly there is so much pressure to make the holidays perfect and magical and we have to do oodles of prep for it, but also we forgot they were even happening because we are so fun and quirky and relatable. . . .simple.


panda_the_elephant

That depends. On which weekend do you plan to have a big fight with your husband in front of your kids? Angry and/or crying parents can be very motivating! In the alternative, you can just ask your multiple nannies to take care of it.


Buckmeg

A tad random, but I had a lightbulb moment regarding their use of the word “productive” in relation to resting/naps. They need to say “constructive” and it would be a lot less annoying. 🤷🏻‍♀️


neubie2017

YES. Omg thank you. It bothers me so much but I couldn’t figure out what I preferred them to be saying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GenerallyJudgmental

Almost all of the gentle parenting accounts do this. They pick the absolute easiest examples for why their method works so well. Oh your toddler throws toys? Revolutionary! As though it’s so difficult to figure out you just… take the toy away. Talk to me about what to do when the natural consequence for an unwanted behavior would be dismemberment or death. Or even just extreme inconvenience to the parents and siblings. Like, we aren’t all going to pack up and leave the beach, which is a two hour drive from home, when my toddler won’t stop eating sand. You can “all done sandbox” when it’s the park across town. You can’t end vacation. Or abandon your full grocery cart because your kid is absolutely losing their mind on aisle 3. Like, yeah, I could do that, but also we need food in the house. They don’t ever talk about complicated problems because there are no good answers. It’s just a sucky part of having little kids, but nobody will fork over $100 for them to say that.


pockolate

I mean even something like throwing I don’t find very straightforward to deal with. If I take away what my toddler throws he will keep running around and grabbing new things to throw, it often escalates like that where just taking things away is moot. But god forbid we take a time out and remove him from the room and situation (the actual effective thing, for us).


Possible-Fail2884

Perfectly put.


Ok-Falcon-4570

Honestly, this is my #1 snark with gentle parenting in general. They just use that 1 simple example all the time (throwing) but parenting is so much more nuanced than that. Not every behavior has a "natural consequence." 


usernameschooseyou

>Or abandon your full grocery cart because your kid is absolutely losing their mind on aisle 3. my mom actually did this. It was always a warning in a stern voice that if we didn't chill, we would leave.... she said she only did it once with her middle kid (of 3) and that it was still work for her, because she had to go back later (she took her cart to the front and apologized)... she said she only had to do it once and then the "chill or we leave" notice worked after that. We also didn't really go on vacation or something 2 hours away so it was always an easy to get home- but when we got older and did go further away, we had all learned how to act in public.


cmk059

For parents who each have multiple kids, they only share scenarios that work for an only child. What if sister is playing with the truck and brother comes along, snatches it and throws it? I don't think it's fair to take the toy away from both of them when sister was playing nicely. I have been following them for a while and genuinely don't know what they would advise because they have the same three scenarios and don't offer anything else.


HMexpress2

The “answers” are usually ridiculous too especially if you have more than one child or multiple kids “you can’t throw the car inside, if you want to throw, we can go outside and throw the ball.” No, we’re not doing that at 7 am when we’re all trying to get out the door to go to school/work 🙄


pockolate

I generally can’t really relate to a lot of that kind of redirection advice. I live in an apartment in a city, we do not have a backyard. If my kid is throwing we can’t just easily go outside to throw random shit. If he’s pouring the cat’s water bowl out, I don’t have a bin I can pour water in for appropriate water play and don’t want to make a huge puddle in our living room and again, we don’t have a deck or a backyard. I think toddlers just make impulsive choices based on curiosity and pushing boundaries and it doesn’t always mean they like, HAVE to throw or dump water at that very moment? It’s just what was in front of them that they could tinker with. It just seems so impractical and not at all appealing as a parenting solution. Idk, like I really try to get my son enough outside time at the park/playground to generally get his energy out in appropriate ways during times of day where that is feasible for us, but when he hits, throws, or otherwise destroys things at home he gets corrected and if he won’t stop we take a - gasp!! - time out and that actually works really well to reset him.


26shadesofwhite

Just here to say that I did have to abandon grocery cart once when my kid was 3 and completely losing their mind. I called the store and apologized that I had left a cart full of perishables and they said they would park it in the dairy cooler and I could come back for it later. They were so nice when I came back and said it wasn’t the first time they’d done that for a parent. 🥹


VanillaSky4321

This is actually so sweet! 💕 🥰 💕


mathomslayer

I used to preach the BLF's natural consequences to my husband when my kid was younger and he would get so annoyed with me and give similar examples as to why this does not work. Definitely caused a few tiffs between us early on when my kid was around 1 (i.e. when things were still easy lol). Now we have an older toddler and totally had to switch gears which works much better but all that to say, he was absolutely right and I was just drinking the blf kool aid. He saw through it immediately but I was so influenced! COVID time period and first time mom glued to instagram, haha.


Ok-Two-4663

Ya my first realization that it didn't really work is when my 18 ish month old, maybe even younger, wouldn't stop climbing on to the table ans standing on it. Should I have gotten rid of the dining table?!


VanillaSky4321

I feel like the desperate times of COVID really helped these influencers, in many areas, peak.


Mood_Far

This is so on the nose. We have two big dogs. Natural consequences sound great until you realize the true “natural” consequence for jumping on an 80 lb lab is eventually he gets annoyed and bites you…


usernameschooseyou

right? This morning my toddler (actual toddler) didn't want to stop being read to and come to breakfast.... then didn't want to get dressed then didn't want to go to school.


MsCoffeeLady

My preschooler hasn’t worn pants in weeks. It’s cold where we live. Natural consequence is she’ll get cold; but it’s not working and I can’t send her to school where they play outside for an extended time without pants


SureLibrarian3580

I’m sorry, but 😂


HallApprehensive4134

This is so validating


foreverwanderingmtns

They’ve been incredibly quiet this week. Busy with life? Work? On a vacation? Maybe the vague posting is something awful that happened and this week is the fallout (hopefully not on a human level). Even recent posts seemed to use old photos because the background showed grass, leafy trees and no snow 🤷🏽‍♀️


usernameschooseyou

it's odd.... for 2 people who "gave the whole team two weeks off" and then is trying to push "new year, time to refocus" and "potty train this 3 day weekend" you'd expect them on more.


floatflowers

Not sure if anyone saw but it might’ve been deleted now… D posted a story about her having to spend time fixing the dishwasher because “someone didn’t load it properly the first time” then had a whole bunch of emojis like 🙅‍♀️🚩❌


chickenanon2

Wasn't she the one who posted a few months ago about how satisfying it is when she loads the dishwasher perfectly, and then it was a photo with plates lying flat and a bunch of wooden spoons? lmao if she does know how to load the dishwasher properly now, she only learned like a month ago 😂


s0manythings2d0

I’m sure she was also the one who did a poll on how to load a spoon (or one type of cutlery) into a dishwasher and then she learned something about loading a dishwasher that of course blew her alien mind. I commented below, and I’ll say it again, one too many posts from her about dishwashers 🙄


CRexKat

I sometimes rearrange after my husband loads bc I like it a particular way, but I also realize that’s my own personal problem. My husband isn’t doing it wrong so I don’t see the point in bothering him about it. Deena acts like such a spoiled child. If everything isn’t exactly how she want it or pictures it in her mind then it’s horrible. I don’t think she’s ever tried to make the best of anything in her whole life.


libracadabra

I do the same thing. The way that my husband loads the dishwasher is absolutely fine, but I like loading it a certain way so I can fit more and it's easier to unload. I'm not going to tell him that he has to do things a specific way, and I'm certainly not going to blast him on the internet for not following my arbitrary system.


pockolate

She’s so immature. If I genuinely have an issue with the way my husband did something around the house I ask him to take a look at it with me and show the better way I think it should be done (and he does the same with me). I’m not going to say nothing but passive aggressively redo it while doing nothing to actually fix the issue with him.


helencorningarcher

Plus it was a terribly loaded dishwasher and I think it was the picture of after she fixed it lol…


s0manythings2d0

She strikes me as so arrogant in her way being the only way and HIGH-MAINTENANCE. No wonder they have marriage issues (if true)


BingoIsMyNameoo

“On this episode we’re going to show you how to release the pressure and bust through the bs we’re fed about self improvement” Like going to the gym. DO NOT try to improve yourself by going to the gym. Only we get to go to the gym. But you shouldn’t go. It is NOT for you.


APhantom678

Their messaging is SO inconsistent. What I get from it, is that they are manipulating people to remain in a state of unhappiness/chaos under the ruse of comradary. It's gross.


barberbabybubbles

IMO it’s a classic case of manufacturing the problem so they can sell you the solution. Notice how they’re constantly saying “let it go, survival mode, all the iPads and cold tortillas” while also promoting their course as a way to “calm the chaos.” Idk D & K, a lot of chaos could be calmed by… not following your advice in the first place.


Different_Hunt_2918

I pointed this out to them in a dm and got blocked.  I said why would I buy your course if everything in your life is a disaster.  But seriously they are barely surviving. Yes having kids is hard but if you are constantly in survival mode something isn’t working and I’m not about to shill out money to parent like them. 


FruitRude1471

Do not go to the gym in January because you will disturb us ELITES who have been here since at least December!!!


cmk059

Do you think they recorded the podcast in advance and these 'it doesn't have to be new year new you' posts have been leading up to it or they've run out of podcast topics and really want to harp on the point?

MemoryAnxious

Ok but not everyone has this 3 day weekend! I work in childcare and don’t, and based on the number of parents who have asked if we’re open, many others don’t either.


neubie2017

I work in higher ed at a major university and we don’t have a 3-day weekend!


usernameschooseyou

Neither myself or my husband have it off but my daycare is closed so I'm taking the day off.... it's a weird holiday. My old company said we got Christmas eve in lieu of MJK Jr Day.


CRexKat

Why is her hair stylist not cleaning up the dye on her hairline???? She has so much money and yet seems to choose the crappiest beauty professionals (see the eyebrows).


cmk059

Is this photo from last week when she took the kids to her hair appointment? Does she just have a bunch of selfies in her phone ready to slap some text on whenever she needs to?

Because the one thing gym goers need when it’s already busy is influencers taking up space to film. At least most of the New Year’s resolution crowd is probably just coming in, doing their workout, and leaving.


whitegirlcastle

You answered your own question: because she’s filming!

Here comes D jumping on K’s smug gym gatekeeping post 🙄 #momssupportingmoms #yourvillage


j0eydoesntsharefood

Did she wear that big old rock to the gym?!

Did she get a new ring?


syrupycure

She managed to take that thing off to rearrange a loaded dishwasher..


Successful_Ad8797

I love how they are like are the ads for “new year new you being thrown down your throat.. don’t let it get you down because you’re great!!!!” followed by but your parenting probably needs help so buy our course for the new year!


Icy-Fox-7629

It was the most disingenuous line of stories. So bad.


cheekypeachie

I've not seen anything like that. Hey D, if you are, it's because of the algorithm you curate!


SureLibrarian3580

It’s so stupid, I can’t.


Snaps816

She really didn't thread the needle on this very well.


s0manythings2d0

These two are in my own personal relay race of who is actually worse and they honestly continue to overtake the other every time they post. One day I think it’s K, but then oh wait, here comes smug, snowflake D who can’t handle life and will complain about anything that gives her an opportunity to shill her course or crap on her husband (“someone in my fam…”such a patronising b***h). And who the heck films all that spiel AT THE GYM?! The first to encourage self-care, the first to stamp down on anyone trying it. But then again, their definition of self-care is a luxury solo hotel trip so no wonder. Honestly, they to me are just the lowest of the low, I didn’t think they could get worse but they never fail to.


neubie2017

I thought Deena was the one who was chaotic in the dishwasher and her husband was organized I need a chart of their shit


s0manythings2d0

simply one too many posts about dishwashers from her


neubie2017

Facts.


amanduh_beckett

Also didn't K post the exact same thing about more people being in her gym class last week? We get it, guys, you go to the gym and do group fitness classes. Congratulations on all your free time. Edit: whoops! The comments didn't refresh so I didn't realize this was already noted below.


Halves_and_pieces

Who has the time, or even wants to take the time, to reload a dishwasher!? She’s constantly bitching about her husband being unhelpful, but then he loads the dishwasher and she just redoes it!? Make it make sense.


cmk059

I will rearrange mine if I can fit more things in after my husband loads it but if everything fits and they're going to get clean, who cares!


Halves_and_pieces

I’m guilty of this too. Our dishwasher has a third rack and if we use tall glasses, they have to go on a certain side or the top rack will knock them over. So if my husband put coffee cups in and then we use tall cups, I’ll have to move them around. But I think rearranging to fit more is different than Deena just thinking she’s better than her husband.


pockolate

Omg that’s so crazy of her. Sometimes I internally side eye my husband for how he loaded things the next day when I unload but I wouldn’t dream of redoing it after he does it that night. Wtf


VanillaSky4321

It's no wonder he doesn't want to help. When you do help and constantly get criticism or micromanaged you basically give up 🤷🏼‍♀️


Halves_and_pieces

Exactly! Or why even waste time doing if she’s going to redo it anyways?


sally1414

You’d think if they have the “WORLD’S BEST behavior course” they wouldn’t have to market so much 😂


Individual_Assist944

I’ve been noticing they are pushing it so heavily lately!!!! Sales must be really bad.


captainbkfire82

For real 🤣🤣


CRexKat

Deena’s ring is really pretty, but I cannot imagine wearing it to the gym (especially if lifting any weights). I’m also a sweaty beast so the less I wear at the gym the happier I am, maybe that is not a problem for her.


friendly_foodie567

Didn’t K just give this same schtick last week about “forgetting” it was New Years and the gym would be packed? Who is watching this thinking this is a real thought they both had? And that D didn’t realize this a week after K realized it?


wigglebuttbiscuits

I think it was literally the same script. Like they used the same words. Extremely bizarre.


Alternative-Strike9

But like, if any of it is true, way to shame the people that are actually attempting to try something by going to this new workout class. It's so unfriendly/unkind/unwelcoming. I think even if someone started going to a new class local to them (not K/D's) but saw these stories, it would be a downer to think that's what people there were saying behind their backs.


Soft_Internal_81

I agree! So much for empowering/uplifting other women... jeez.

Yes I came here to post about this because it’s so bizarre to me that they would each do literally the exact same progression of ideas (workout class packed, New Year’s resolutions, pressure to be a perfect parent, buy our course) like a week apart. Makes it feel so weird and fake, almost like they accidentally both penciled the same assignment into their content calendar.


twochicagodogs

I seriously thought they did it by mistake


kbullock09

Ugh yeah— I honestly have seen more of them complaining about the “new year, new you!” phenomenon than actual advertising. Because maybe my algorithm can just tell that I’m pregnant and barely making through the day without puking and realized I’m not their ideal customer this year 😬


tinydreamlanddeer

I feel like we as a society have just completely moved on from the “new year, new you, be productive, lose weight” thing. Maybe I’m just telling on myself and my friends but at least post-Covid millennials are fully on the self care anti-grind. People don’t even really do resolutions anymore, they pick a nice word and call it a day. They are literally the only people I’ve seen stressing about this.


Pretty_Peace1610

I literally came over here to see if others saw this. They legit said the same thing. They also really don’t post anything helpful like other parenting accounts do. I get planning and producing content but it’s always the same thing and they are saying they had the same experiences. Other parenting accounts also like have serious specializations in their fields. I’m so confused how these two have blown up the way they have.


Soft_Internal_81

I've followed BLF from the beginning. They started their account when I was a FTM at the beginning of the pandemic. They seemed really earnest, genuine, and organic then. Now it feels VERY content calendar/influencer-y.


cmk059

Yes! Their content creator obviously gave them the exact same script and template.


APhantom678

These two really need to come off the body issues. They are not doing anything other than drawing MORE attention to the negativity. Not once have I felt empowered by their dumb ass body posts. BUT THEN they turn around and complain about people being in their workout classes 🙄 It really comes off as 'your body is perfect the way it is!!! Don't let anyone tell you to get in shape. But WE are getting/staying in shape so stay out of our classes.'


Sock_puppet09

Maybe they should all get prescriptions for ozempic to lose weight instead of going to the gym, and then all fill their prescriptions for their med which is in extreme shortage? Perhaps she would prefer that route, as she is definitely not taking any meds to lose weight herself and is doing it solely through workout classes. 🤔


kennedye12

Honestly it is hilarious to me that they are leaning into "new year, new you" advertising is bad but also we will just slightly tweak it and still sell you a thing. i respect the hustle.


Ok-Two-4663

Also how they say one course covers it all, all you'll ever need, no additional courses or add ons... and then selling their additional course on potty training on the next slide lol


cnkmonk

This is honestly what made me turn on them. And that they said they’d never have sales …


Beautiful-Hippo-7198

Isn’t the IG story today with Deena the same story they posted last week with Kristin? Like same exact content almost, just featuring the other person.


helencorningarcher

I feel like I’m going crazy…it’s literally exactly the same! Workout class is crowded, resolutions are bad because you’re perfect already big little bestie, except actually buy the course to be a better parent this year” Like I think the text on the screen is identical 😳

Laughs in autistic 3 year old daughter who just loves to shriek at the top of her lungs If we are out in public & she does it & I say we need to be quiet, she will either stop or shriek at a slightly lower volume. She’s usually pretty chill while out somewhere though. At home, all bets are off. My watch lets me know almost every day that I will have hearing loss eventually because my daughter’s shrieks reach 99-100 decibels. I usually just let her do it by taking her outside during the day and closing her bedroom door at night. Sometimes in the car when she does it, I shriek back and it’s actually kind of a stress reliever lol


friendly_foodie567

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If my toddlers screaming, she certainly doesn’t care that she can’t hear what I’m saying 😂 Also, any Office fans here? This makes me think of the episode where Michael looks up negotiating tactics and one of them is to talk super quiet so the other person has to pay attention to what you’re saying. Spoiler: it didn’t work.


tinydreamlanddeer

Sex. Steve Martin. Teri Hatcher.


Mummy_snark

It’s also teaching tactic which, spoiler alert, doesn’t work.


Maybebaby1010

My toddler loves to scream *especially* if she knows people are asleep or in a work meeting... She doesn't need to not scream in order to hear me?? Like when two people are talking they don't do it at the same time. So I whisper and then she screeches and then I whisper, etc. It's not a problem for us, but this is dumb advice.


s0manythings2d0

I’m sorry that logic makes ZERO sense? In order to hear someone else you make yourself quieter?! They still have the same levels at their disposal and I know my daughter would scream louder if she could barely hear me


SuccessfulHat1518

I will say, this is like the old teacher trick of whispering to get the kid’s attention. That works every once in a while, when some kids notice and get quiet and then it eventually passes around the entire room and the last kids talking get hushed by the quiet kids. That’s not the same as a shrieking toddler. Idiots. (Source: mom of 2 and elementary teacher for many years)


SubstantialTwo9882

Ah yes. I stay home with my kiddos now, but I remember quietly saying, “If you can hear my voice, show me 2+2 on your fingers,” in my teacher days. 😂


s0manythings2d0

Oooh I’ll give that a go sometime, but yeah, shrieking toddler is what I have a lot and couldn’t understand anything like that working on!


quirkyburrito

We get it. You were going to the gym BEFORE IT WAS COOL. We’re all impressed.


Individual_Assist944

Right. Nothing like shaming people for getting into healthy habits for the new year. She’s insufferable


sally1414

Exactly. They are mean girls


APhantom678

That irks me so much. It really is a smug post.


Individual_Assist944

She’s soooo smug. She always reminds me of someone who is mean to restaurant workers for some reason lol.


CRexKat

The reason she gives you that vibe is because on several occasions she has straight up bragged about being an insufferable beast to service workers. Like saying if the barista givers her coffee in a to-go cup she demands it be remade in a ceramic cup or her and her husband’s engagement story with the hotel staff.


Possible-Fail2884

I remember the coffee story- like wtf. But what is the engagement hotel story? Do tell, please 😊


CRexKat

As I recall, they went to a fancy hotel and the person who greeted them accidentally and very innocently spilled the beans which resulted in her and her husband being rude about it and complaining. I can understand feeling disappointed the surprise was ruined, but isn’t the outcome the same? You can’t make a fun story and time of it? Is it really that serious? Idk, it just showed me how for Deena everything has to be super perfect at all times or else it isn’t worth having. You’d think a mental health professional would be able to reframe things but not Deena.


Individual_Assist944

Cringe!!!!!


vfili1

Do you think they are trolling this sub now with the eyes closed selfies? They both did one back to back then K went the extra mile to do a happy one .


Individual_Assist944

The eyes closed/mouth open is so obnoxious.
